100 MINERS ANf fNToMBfD
OUT OF 200 MEN AT WORK BUT
a scANT THIRTY-FIvE
ESCAPE.
cARfltss MINER RESPONSIBLE
LIGHTS HIS PIPE CONTRARY TO
RULES AND EXPLOSION
FOLLOWS.

Fernie, B. c., May Is. - Because q
car eless miner lighted his pipe contrary
to the rules Of the mine, probably 16O
intombed men are dead in the Crows
Nest coal mine near here.
At 1880 Thursday night q terrible Z
plosion occurred. There were in the,
mine 200 men and only IS escaped.
These say that the explosion was u
to coal damp ignited by a match held
by a miner In the act of lighting his
pipe, in defiance of regulations.
The bodies OF nine Of the victims
have been recovered. Coal damp is
making the work Of rescue exceedingly
dangerous, a number Of the workers
being Frustrated. The town has about
5000 population and hardly a household
las 0 a h~eartrending sorrow. Not
wi%thstanding this the women beg pit
eously that those remaining shall not
go down into the shaft, to probably
Die OF S~nnOcatiOn.
Scenes Of infinite pathos are seen
about the mine and village. The people
are in a frenzy of bereavement. The
explosion occurred in shaft No. 2 and
was followed instantly by an equally
tremendous explosion in shaft No. 3,
where the majority of the me were at
work. A short tunnel connects the
workings.
To add to the horror Of the situation
another explosion is expected at any
moment. Should it come there will be
no hope that those entombed by the
first will be rescued, while the rescuers
themselves are in great danger. There
is also danger Of a life destroying fire.
The work of rescue is being hurried
and assistance from all available
sources is being secured.

IT'S . Dull Day in Montana When
Heinse Takes a Rest.
Helena, Mont, May 2S.-After a
ing arguments all day the supreme
court last evening took under ADVISE
ment the application Of the Amalgam-
aeed for an injunction to close the cele-
brated Minnie Healy mine at Butte.
The motion was made by Heinze's at,
torneys to dismiss the application, ana
this was argued at length. The entire
question Of title to the Minnie Heaiy
was gone into by twenty-six
filed with the court. An effort was
made to show that slopes In certain
levels of the Minnie Healy are not
cav@d in, and that charges OF an az
tempt to destroy the workings in order
to conceal a quantity of ore that mas
been extracted, are not sustained.

The latest eruption Of Mount Pelee,
which broke out at 5 o'clock Monday
morning, was ten times as violent as
that which destroyed st. Pierre. Col
ossal columns of volcanic matter were
elected from the volcano, which rained
huge, red-hot boulders many feet in
diameter on the ruins Of st. Pierre and
the country near 1t from an enormous
elevation and with fearful velocity. The
volcanic clouds advanced until they
reached Fort-de- France. The spectacle"
was appalling and beyond description.
the whole population of Fort-de-France
was thrown into a frenzy Of panic.

steam launch of the United States
cruiser Cincinnati took some refugees
to the French cruiser Suchet, and near
" a hundred persons sought safety on
the Cincinnati and on the United States
special steamer Potomas. AT 10 o'clock
the Potomac went to investigate mat
tiers. and all reports agree that Lieut..
Benjamin B. Mccormick, the COM
nander Of the steamer, did great work..
He went in close to st. Pierre and
found that city had been bombarded
with enormous stones from the vol
cano, and that the ruins left standing
after the first great disaster had been
rearly razed Millions Of tons of ashes
then covered the ruined city.
Further south smaller stones had de-
stroyed the houses of the brave vil-
layers who had stuck to their homes.
Mccormick took on board the Potomac
$50 refugees, the Oldest Of whom was
seventy years and the youngest three"
days old. The lieutenant fed them and
brought the party to Fort-de-France.
So far as known no lives were lost In
