A blast had been put off shortly before

and Coles was STOPPING over the place
where the last charge was exploded clean
ing out a drilled hole, when a second
explosion occurred, as a result Of which
he was instantly killed, and his body
terribly mangled.

used In preparing the first blast must
have gotten into the crevice. near by. and
remained unexploded until the men re-
turned.
DIR. Croxton, the County Coroner. was
summoned. and decided that Coles came

TERED.
OBJECT LESSONS FOR NEGROES.
A coiored man named Howard Is
making a lecturing tour of the city,
taking up a collection after each lecture.
Howard was summoned before Mayor
Maurice yesterday morning for ordinance
violation-namely, making money with
out giving the city a share OF IT.
He assured his Honor. however, that his
discourses were devoted to the purposes
of charity and that his talk was cheap,
he receiving nothing for 1t. Howard
plan OF reforming the morals OF the
citys "cullud foxes" is, however, not
devoid of good reason. For instance,
when he wishes to condemn gambling,
he shows a picture in which the good
Lord" struck dumb the Disappearing
gamester. making constant stream of
fire flow from his mouth, instead Oh
words. The history of the man with the
Lake of fire" inside of him is that he
cannot die, but burns always. In the
background of this vivid picture is the
huge log upon which this walking adyer-
tisement of the lower regions used 10
play. and whenever this log is struck
IL gushes out blood and flame.
Towards story had such an effect on
the Mayor that he dismissed the case
forthwith. 1t is possible that when he
has broken up the gambling SHOPS OF
Manchester, and prepared the coiored
population for the land of the hereafter
