CONYlCTS IN A MINE FIRE.
Two Dead and Eighteen Others Have
Narrow Escapes

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Feb. 25.-A fire oc-
Cured in the Rock slope of the Tennessee
Coal, Iron and Railroad companys mines
at Pratt City yesterday that resulted in
the death of Louis Stevens and John Pat
ton, two miners, and moro or less serious
Injury to eighteen others. Twenty miners,
all convicts, were In the Rock slope near
the air shaft, when they detected the smell
of smoke, and shortly afterwards an i'm
mense volume of 1t came towards them
from the engine room, which was between
the air shaft and the cage leading out Of
mine. .-
Driven by the smoke the twenty men
hurried to the air shaft, and there they
huddled together to keep from suffocating.
Meanwhile the smoke became thicker, as
the fire issuing from the engine room
seized seven trans, and Just on the out
side a lot of waste and OIL and burned furi-
Ously. Breathing became an affair of ox-
treme difficulty. Twenty-three mules in
the stable in the mines also felt the smoke
and tried to escape, and began kicking one
another to denth and making night hide
Gus with their cries.
John Patton and Louis Stevens finally
left the crowd at the air shaft and tried
to get to the cage shaft. They never
rehcheu IL, Dut We're afterwards round
dead near tho engine room. Ono OF the
men had his head beaten almost Into a
pulp, indicating that he had tried to kill
himself rather than suffocate to death.
Smoke seen issuing from the shaft
brought help via the cage and in three
hours the fire was out, and the eighteen
men ut the air shaft We're brought up In
more or less serious condition from suffo-
cation. The mules, worth 50, 900, We're suf
focuted or Killed by kicks ."

HoWGATE ACQUITTED.


WASHINGTON, Fob. 25-Captaln Henry
w Howgatc, formerly dlsbursing clerk of
the signal service, who has been on trial
here since Jan. % on two indictments
charging him with embezzlement and
forgery, was yesterday acquitted of the
charges. The case was given to tho jury
at noon on Thursday last, and it was not
until yesterday noon that verdict was
reached. On the first ballot 1t is said that
the vote stood seven to five for acquittal.
The jury reported yesterday on their in
ability to agree, but Judge McComas in
sisted that they should remain and try
again.
The Howgate case has been unusual in
many ways Fourteen years ago import
ant frauds affecting large sums Of money
were discovered In the signal service
accounts, and Howgate was charged with
having committed them. He was arrested,
but by ruse escaped from his guards, and
for thirteen years remained in New York
city. Although a reward of 5000 was
offered for his capture he was not arrested
until last fall.
The jury found that the case was not
barred by the statute of limitations, but
held that Howgate was not guilty of the
particular offenses charged,
After the verdict was rendered Howgate
was sent back to jail'to await trial on the
seven indictments still remaining against
him. 1t is not known which of these will
first be tried.
