THE MEANING OF CREOLE.

Strictly speaking, Creole is per
son born in this country Of foreign
parents. The word comes from the
Spanish CrilIo, meaning offspring
child. and because Of its Spanish origin
the word Creole has been restricted in
use first to children born in Louisiana
to foreign parents, and second, to such
children born to Spanish or French
patents; so we speak of Spanish Gre
ole and French Creole. In the North
the idea is prevalent that a Creole has
negro blood but it is entirely wrong.

ASHLAND, Pa, Aug. 24-Two men we're
killed and eleven injured by al explosion
of gas In the Gilbertson colliery near this
place this afternoon. The explosion
which occurred shortly after noon, was
primarily caused bv a fall of coal. which
became dislodged by the mining opera
tons. This released an immense volume
of gas, and at the same time forced it
along Sne gangways to a distance of more
than 1000 yards, sitting and choking the
miners as it swept along. Finally il
reached a gang of miners who were work
ing with their naked lamps and instantly
lgnlted. An explosion which shook the
earth and was heard by the people in
their homes above. followed Flames
and smoke burst from the mouth of the
PIT and inside and out there were scenes of
frantic terror. The imprisoned and burn
ing miners forgot their pain in an agony
of terror, ard their wives and children
rushed to the scene, shrieklng with fear.
kesculug parties were quickly organized
and the men were brought to the surface
as rapidly as possible. A temporary hos
pltal was erected and medical attendance
procured, the Injured being removed
either to their homes or permanent hos
pltals as soon as their sufferings were
somewhat alleviated.
