A Fearful Disaster.

By an explosion in a coal mine at SEQ
field, Utah. on Tuesday last, many lives
were lost. In the morning 39S men en-
tered the mine to work and BY Wednesday
night $50 dead bodies had been removed,
FIVE or six injured and the others are still
somewhere in the workings underground.
Forty dead bodies were found in one
heap and there is hardly doubt that all
those who are yet in the mine have per
ished
1t is almost an impossibility that they
can yet be alive Comparatively few OF
the men whose bodies have been recovered
were killed by the explosion. The major
ity had no bruises or wounds and had EVIL
IDENTIFY met their death by asphyxiation
caused By the after-damp succeeding the
explosion. The conclusion, however, was
so great that FIVE men working in the open
air around the mouth of the mine were
severely hurt One man was blown with
his horse distance of 200 yards across the
bottom of the canon
Every house in Scofeld is house of
mourning and every household is preparing
to receive its dead. The employees of the
mine were mostly American, with few
Scotch and Welsh The dead men were
nearly all married Fathers and son,
worked in the mines, and in not few in
stances families have lost their entire male
membership One family has lost eight
members. The mine itself is wreck, and
the loss financially can hardly be estimated.
The disaster was caused by an accidental
explosion of powder it is thought This
is the first accident that has occurred since
the mines we're opened, over so years ago.

Well Said,

Rev. w. A. Crawford Frost, in sermon a
Holy Comforter Episcopal Church, Balti
more, last Sunday, spoke on "Unehristiar
Ethics" and alluded to the attitude of the
United States toward Turkey, premptorily
demanding money for damages to property o
missionaries. The missionaries went unin
vited to Turkey and began to preach then
strange doctrine, which excited the kurd'
and aroused them to resistance. The Sultan
conld not foresee this and therefore could MOI
prevent the attack, but Christian nation Is
impatient to compel a heather people TO pay
an indemnity, under threat of using force tc
collect it. Upon the attitude of the Mckin'
lev Administration in the matter, Rev. Mr..
Frost well said:
The religion of Christ is being made by
word and a reproaeh through the unchrlstlan
deeds of Christian nations. According to the
testimony Of reliable persons who know hun
well. the Sultan of Turkey is an honest man,
irving to do his duty under difficult clrcum
STANCES. He acknowledges his debt and offers
10 rebuild the missions which he could not
prevent the lawless Kurds from destroying.
Rnt This is not enough. The American Gov
eminent must have the utmost farthing and
have it at once on penalty OF war
For paltry $1,000 it would risk that
MANY lives and as many millions Of dollars
and this in behalf Of the missionaries OF
Christ. who said And if any man will sue
thee al the law and take away thy coat let him
have thy cloak also.
+ Il out of zeal for missions that the Gov
eminent is doing this? One would like to
think 50, especially since the President at
tendent the Ecumenical Missionary Council.
II i remarkable how Christianity and No
bammedanism have changed places. The re-
