1t was announced last night that the
people would not be called upon for
contributions in any way. The booth
privileges will be sold to the mer.
chants and space will be sold for ad-
vertising on the official program. but
aside from this, the affair will be abso
lutely self-sustaining.
The matter is now in such shape as
to warrant the assertion that it will
be undertaken, and the gentlemen at
the head of it will permit no failure,
so that Laramie is certain of a street
fair and a splendid one at that. The
occasion will be one marking an epoch
in the history of the Gem City.
The executive committee will open
an office Monday, in a room to be Sc
lected, and persons having rooms to
rent will place themselves in communi.
cation with the committee.

There is likely t be serious trou-
BILE in the Garrett n~eighborhood over
road matters unless something is done
at once to prevent it, and s%traighten
out the warning factions.
This morning a communication was
received from w. NJ. Center, a grocer
at Garrett, in which he ~encloses a
warning notice he received from A. B..
which communication Mr.. Center
says.
mr.. Laughlin mas put a wire fence
across the road running from my place
up the north Laramie, and as this is
all the road that anybody can travel,
you a see the thing is getting pretty
rough. He has not left any gate.
When the thing has gone as far as 1t
has here, it seems to me that the
ty should look into the matter and pro-
vide roads to pass over without being
molested. Please see the county com
missioners and the county attorney
and see what steps to take in this mat
ter"
Mr.. Center adds in another place in
his letter:
Il enclose this notice for you to see
for yourself how things are going up
here. 1t is a plain fact that there are
two parties in this affair, and | will
name them SO you know. They are l..
l.. Laughlin and A.. B Gillespie. Now,

taking the described land, neither
could | help myself if | wanted to. II
he has the land. all right, but you see
just what it is done for. 1t is all hills
and mountains. | think this thing can
be stopped by the county commission
ers coming II here and laying out a
road from the Fetterman road at Pine
Ridge, coming straight for my store,
as the road is greatly needed"

is as follows:

DUPONTS PUT
MATCH UNDER BAN
They Request S.OrekeeperS
Not to Sell Easily Ig-
nited Matches

The carrying of ordinary matches
about the powder works of the DUPONT
Company by the powder-makeIs has
caused members Of the firm to request
stOre-keepers in the vicinity of the
mills not TO sell the easily lighted
match. but to deal only in those that
cannot be ignited anywhere except on
the boxes which contain them
1t is said that within the past few
weeks the powder-wcrkers have been
careless in the use of matches while at
work, and only yesterday several We're
found in places where, if they had be-
come ignited. would have caused a ter
rible explosion of powder with fright
full loss of life.
To find a pOwder-maker with a
match in his possession while within
the gates Of the powder yard means inn
mediate dismissal for him. Il is prob
able that the store-keepers along the
Banks" will comply with the requestof
the DuPonts, and by doing so will les
sen the danger of an explosion, even
though safety" matches should be un-
intentionally carried into the powder

has been invested and the mine is one
Of the best equipped In the Fairmont
coal region Col II. J. Somerville. an
experienced and capable mine super
intendent, has charge Of the works
Tho mine was only recently put into
operation and about 1876 men were en-
ployed. only 40 Of this number under
|. ground. Owing to shortage in the
car supply the men have only been
making about half time for several
days. but On Tuesday quite a number
OF cars we.e left at the mine and the
management decided to break all rec
ords with yesterdays output So
bright and early the miners, who re-
side in cosy cottages on the hilltop
above the mine. made their way to the
main opening and the car carried them
253 feet into the earth. Fifteen of them
were assigned to a portion Of the mines
that has been worked for some time
and the remainder were put to work
on headings quite a distance away.
One of the men in the rooms, II is al
legged, had smuggled a torch into the
mines. as It gives so much better light
than the safety lamps prescribed by
the company. Thore is an immense
fan, which sends 5000 feet of fresh afr
into the mines at every revolution, and
as the shaft was considered one OF the
safest in the region the miner did not
heed the frequent warnings of a fellow
employe, who warned him Of the risk
he was taking. At 9:15 the miner
fierd shot and the smoke. which was
very dense. caught fire from the torch
and spread to either the gas or dust,
and the explosion resulted.
Fortunately the mine did not catch
fire to any extent. The explosion VENT
ed itself through the air shaft and al
most demolished the building en- the
surface in which the fan was located.
The men on the headings did not know
there had been an explosion until noti-
fed. The air was soon turned in, and
in a short time the headings were
cleared of foul gases and the work OF
rescuing the unfortunates commenced.
It was 8 o'clock before the work was
concluded. This is the most serious ex-
plosion that ever occurred in the Fair
mont coal region.

ANOTHBR STRIKE
NOT IMPROBABLE
Miners Of the Anthracite Coal
Regions Assume Threat
ening Attitude

Harrisburg, May 16.-The legislative
committee representing the anthracite
miners, which is here in the interest Of
several measures before the legislature
affecting tie miners. was thrown nto
a furry last night by the action Of
Senator Heidelbaugh, chairman OF the
senate mining committee, in having
two of the miners bills recommitted
20 his committee. Last week the min
ers committee, by threat to have the
underground workers march on Har-
risburg. succeeded in having three of
the bills reported from the committee.
Mr. Heidelbaugh's reason for recon-
hitting the bills was for the purpose
of making slight amendments but
he would not state further what the
amendments were.
That there may be another great
strike in the anthracite coal regions is
1 not outside the range Of possibility in
the near future. In the senate mining
committee there is another bill which
provides that the miners be paid rate
per ton instead of a rate per car. T
d. Nichols, of Scranton, president OF
District No. l, said to a press repre-
sentative:
IF the legislature does not pass this
bill or the coal operators do not make
some concessions along the lines laid
down in the bill it is my opinion that
a strike will be inauguTated In the Goa
regions which will be greater in mum
bers than the struggle Of last fall"
