mine, of Snowden, Gould & Co., near
here, by an explosion of gas, at O'Clock
this morning. Two dead bodies have
been taken out, those of James Hall and
John Bennett. Searching parties are
making frantic efforts to reach the en-
tombed miners. Immediately following
the explosion of gas there was second
explosion of fire damp.
There were 140 men in the mine at the
time of the explosion. OF these, fifty
eight in entries nine and ten. Four men,
Jacobs, Davis, Walker and Hungarian,
were near the mouth of the entrance.
The others were far in. When the ex-
plosion came these four men made rush
for the main landing, which they sue
ceeded in reaching. They finally crawled
out to open air. Of the ffty-eight men
in entries nine and ten, these four are
the only ones known to be alive. They
say there is no possible chance for the
escape of the other fifty-four.
At o'clock this afternoon five more
bodies were recovered, and it was feared
none of those still entombed will be
taken out alive. The names of those
taken out are Harry Hager, John Cart
right. William Pritchard, John Haistua,
S. Hastings.
Later-At 80 p. m., twenty.seven Of
the entombed miners returned to town.
They had escaped by traversing mile
and-a-half underground passage. An
other body, that of Robert Davis, has
been recovered, making eight dead.
Nineteen miners are still unaccounted
for. All who escaped are injured or
burned either slightly or seriously. The
dead are unrecognizable, being burned
and mutilated. A hastily improvised
morgue was arranged at the entrance of
the mine.
The explosion is said to have been
caused by the loosening of a large block
of coal, which opened pocket of gas.

American Commissioners Or
dered to Act Quickly.
Spanish Board Will be Notified that
Spanish Sovereignty Must be Re-
linquished Immediately, In Accord
ance With the Terms Preecribed
in the Protocol.

WASHINGTON, Sept. ga very per-
eIpptory message OF instructions has
been sent to the Cuban military COM
missioners, and is to be the base of a

AN ALASKA
TRAGEDY
Indian Murderer Kills Himself at the
Funeral of His Victim.

SEATTLE, Wash, Sept. 23.-One of the
strangest Alaskan tragedies that has yet
been chronicled Is the murder of an old
Alaska Indian near the British Colum-
bian line, and the subsequent suicide
of the murderer at the funeral few
days later.
Wisttawh, one of the big men of the
tribe, living near Shakan, in Southeast
ern Alaska, shot an old Indian named
Dusk, who had been blind for years.
Wisttawh was detected in his crime,
and was taken in charge by Dusk's
relatives. He was compelled by tribal
custom to attend the funeral of his
victim, and did so amid the threaten
ing looks OF the rest Of the tribe.
The strain was too much for him, how
ever, and he killed himself before the
services were over.

a WORD OF ADVICE
To Those Coming to Alaska or the
klOndike Gold Fields.

One thing should be impressed upon
every miner. prospectOr or trader COM
ing TO Alaska. to the klondike, or the
Yukon country, and that is the neces-
sity for providing an adequate and
proper food supply. Whether procured
in the States, in the dominion, or at
the supply stores here or further on,
this must be his primary concern.
Upon the manner in which the miner
has observed or neglected this precau-
ton more than upon any other one
thing will his success or failure depend.
These supplies must be healthfuI and
should be concen trated, but the most
careful attention in the selection of
foods that will keep unimpaired in
definitely under all the conditions
which they will have to encounter is
imperative For instance. bread
raised with baking powder must be re-
lied upon for the chief part of every
meal, imagine the heiplessness of 4

FIRST SEALSKIN GARMENTS.
They Came Into Use in 1862 When
They Were Cheap

As the subject of sealsl<ins has been
before the trade so prominently on &C
count of the bill recently passed by
both houses of congress, the true story
of the first Introduction of seal gar
ments in this trade may be of interest.
The writer is probably the only man
living who remembers the exact cir
cumstances as they occurred. being at
the time in the employ of the manufac-
turer referred to. In 1862. when Mr..
Henderson Moore was winding up the
business of the old firm of Oppenheim
& CO., then located on lower Broadway.
a prominent manufacturer who had
transacted very little business with OPP
penheim & Co., but who was closely con-
nected with one of the leading Leipzig
houses, was induced to meet Mr.. Moore.
who endeavored to interest him in sun
dry furs in the stock being disposed
OF, the goods consisting of lot of seal
skins, about 1000, not a very high grade.
and which would to-day be designated
as wigs. They were large skins and
had been dyed brown, not a very at
tractiye shade, and, after considerable
dickering, the manufacturer purchased
the skins for $3.50. net. That was only
the beginning of the transaction, the
real difficulty ensuing when the manu-
facturer began to consider what would
be the best disposition of his purchase:
considerable study was devoted to the
problem. and it was finally decided to
secure the cooperation of designer of
garments, then in the employ of
Messrs- Lord e Taylor, who in very
short time designed a tight-fitting
basque. number of which were made
up from the sealskips and shown to
number of leading retailers, among
them the late Nj. NJ. Backus, Robert Q.
Taylor, Charles Oxford and others, all
of whom purchased a number of the
garments This was the beginning of
the manufacture of seal garments: the
subsequent development of the indus
try is too well known to your readers
TO require further statement.
1t is peculiar that all the gentlemen
to whom the seal garments were first
shown. with the exception of Mr.. r. @.
Taylor, subsequently failed in bust
ness; one of them, a Boston gentleman
was lost at sea, and Mr.. Backus and Mr.
Taylor are both dead.-Fur Trade Re-

a WOEFUL AWAKENING.
Being the Sad and SOrrovful Tale OF
n Shattered Anticipation.


Macallister Macilhenny rose from the
silken sofa in the magnificent drawing
room as the fairest creature his eyes
had ever rested upon entered the apart
ment. She was garnitured in the rarest
laces of Apleekay and the silk of her
gown rustIed as the breeZes of Araby
through the mulberry trees of Alden.
As she moved gracefully toward her
visitor, the enraptured youth stood
spellbound, dreaming of the conquest
he had made.
For six months he had been writing
letters of romance and love to the beau
tifui being who had signed herself
''Sara de Beam" and now he was come
]1ither at her bidding, persuaded by his
impassioned appeals. She had been
cold, very cold at first-for the scene
of this story is laid in Boston-but the
tropical luxuriance of his pleading had
won her reluctant consent to see him.
and he was here now to prove his love
and identity, and to claim this one
woman in all the world for him.
