With All on Board.
Buffalo, N. Y, Dec. II. 1t is now
certain that the Canadian steamer
Niagara, Capt. Henry McClory, foun~
dered OH Tuesday evening about eight
miles east of Long Point, Lake Erie,
with all hands, numbering sixteen per-
sons. Tugs sem out from Port Col

the missing steamer have returned.

wreckage picked up near where she il
supposed to have %foundered. The
wreckagc includes IL part of the Nj
agara's deck. portions of the cabin,
deck beams. OTHER material and Il guam
tity Of shingles marked Parry Sound"
from which port the Niagara sailed for
Buffalo. Judging from the amount Of
wreckage that has been found the Nj
agara must have broken up badly in
captains that the boat went down III
deep water, about eight miles $ OF
Long Point. as none of her spars has
been found. and if she had gone down
in shallow water they would be stick
ing up. The storm which destroyed
the Niagara was one of thew worst that
ever ragged ovcr Lake Erie. The wind
was blowing a gale of forty-fivc miles
an hour and it was showing heavily
even the heaviest and strongest boats
! made for shelter. and it is the opinion
Of vessel men that Capt. McClory at
tempted to turn his boat around ana
run under Long Point, and in doing SO
encountered the full force of the Storm
his craft going to pieces.

Carbonate, Wash, Dec. 12.-About
noon Saturday this coal mining village
was stunned with the first report of a
terrific s"ubterranean explosion in the
mine of the Carbon Hill Coal company,
the tunnels Of which run for miles
under the town. There was an enOr-
nous rumbling, smothered sound for a
few moments, and then it ceased alb
ruptly.
The people who had been accustomed
to gain a livelihood by mining knew at
once what this meant and stood around
with blanched faces. .Apprehensions
of some fearful disaster We're con-
firmed in a little while with informa-
ton that the morning Shift in tunnel
No. Z had been caught i'll an explosion
of fire-damp. Sevcnty-tive men were
at work in the mine and the mcager
news conveyed the information that
all must have been killed as there was
no chance Of escape. Rescue parties
were Immediately organized and put
to work.
Sundays advices, giving later details
Of the disaster. say:
Stunned by the %suddcnness OF the
mine horror the people here seem too
daZed for any expression OF grief OF Il
demonstrative nature. Thirty-two is
the number of dead. AS by Il miracle
two men were rescued ut ; O'Clock yes
terday morning after suffering an aw-
full night entombed in the dark cav
ernous chamber Of horrors.
Gov. Rogers will conduct Il searching
examination as to the cause of the OK
plosion. He telegraphed State Mine
Inspector Owens. now at Spokane. to
attend the inquest and examine wit
nesses himself. The question of insult
fcient ventilation of the mine in &C
cordance with the state law will be
thoroughly gone into. 1t has been
found impossible to secure al impair
tial ~coroner's jury in the mining dis

Tacoma and will select his jurors
there.
The theory of Supt. Davis is that a

damage and loss of life.
The total number of men i'll the un-
fortunate shaft was seventy-slX, or

merchant in this city. is the hero Of
Deadwood. A number Of little chill
dren climbed into a sleigh of a milk

didn't, and the team was making for
a steep precipice at the head of Taylor

stopped, which was not more than 100
feet from the precipice.
