and when he learned that the collision
had been attended with fatal results he
manifested the deepest grief When he
learned that the dead engineer had left
wife and four children In Richmond his
sorrow was all the more increased. As il
was his first accident, and as blame had
been laid on the Howard the fatality
weighed heavily on him. Captain Taylor

A TERRIBLE FATE.
Four Miners Literally Blown to
Pieces


ST. LOUIS. MO, January, 13.-A spe-
cial from Boulder. Colo. says that -four
men were blown to pieces yesterday af-
ternoon at Ward. a small mining camp,
situated in the mountains twenty miles
from Boulder The killed are: John
Glover, Dan Schrieber. A. \. DeGormo,
and Henry Glover. They were employed
by the Adit Mining Company. and death
was due TO the accidental discharge of
thirty-nve pounds of powder.
Between and o'clock yesterday after
noon, when the men had finished drilling a
round of holes, they came out. and.
taking a box of giant-powder, proceeded

powder on an ore-car TO the place Of
operation, some 900 feet from the mouth
Of the tunnel. Five minutes after they
had started the car Manager Daniels
was startled by a terrific explosion.
Men entered the tunnel. and fifty feet
from the breast of it they found a com
plete wreck, with remains of timber.

all scattered i'm the workings. As the
exploring party proceeded the horrible
fate of the absentees was made apparent.

her efforts to reduce the Cubans next

lars are very poor, while the volunteers
are smart, active soldiers.
