Placing the Blame.
Coroner Foehlinger of Oskaloosa is to-
day holding an inquest to determine who
is to blame for the disaster.
The explosion was caused by the igni-
ton Of dust from a shot too heavily
charged. It was what miners call a
screamer.' The shot, when exploded,
instead Of knocking down the coal fires,
went straight out into the room. This
kind of a shot causes much dust and the
flames, coming into contact with it, usual
ly makes an explosion.
The effect was terrific. The tracks
were torn up and the shaft machinery and
cages blown away, destroying all means of
reaching the seat of the explosion. The
fans were also damaged and could not be
used to yentilate the mines immediately.
All the entry doors were blown out and
the pit became death trap.
Volunteers to Rescue.
AS soon as the cages could be repaired.
volunteers came forward. The first man
to enter the mine was Jeff Timbrell,
genral superintendent Of the works.
After him others followed, taking their
turns in going to the relief Of the in
jured and dead. When the last Of the
missing men had been brought to the sur
face by these heroic means, twenty-one
mangled and burned bodies were laid to-
gether upon the floor of shaft No. 2.
This morning they were taken to the
company's store, about a mile distant, at
the direction of the coroner.

the recent commencement there
was large variety of articles
which in workmanship displayed
no little skill. Many samples from
the departments of both boys and
girls were greatly admired, among
which may be noted a model work
bench made by a South African
student which won for him prize.
The whole exhibit was creditable
alike to teachers and students.
The literary attainments dis
played also in the several depart

commendable. Were it possible
for a literary expert to be trans

rnent Of the Colored Race.
This school tor colored people
was opened in the fall Of 1855 by
Rev. II. M Upper, of Massachu-
sets, under the direction of the
Home Mission Society of Northern
Baptists The first school house
was negro cabin about ten by
twenty feet. In 1870, the home
stead of General Barringer con-
tanning twelve acres of land with
the buildings thereon, was obtain.
ed for school purposes. Upon
these grounds, which are within
ten minutes walk Of the capital,
in the southern part Of the city,
and among the finest in Raleigh,
have been erected five large brick
buildings, and several wood. One
of these buildings occupies the
spot where once stood the whip
ping post Of the slave. Two years
ago, | heard minister Of the Cos
pei who was educated at Shaw
University, and is now doctor OF
divinity, in public address in
Raleigh, allude to the fact of hav-
ing been whipped, on one occa-
sion, at that post, when a slave
boy.
This institution is now valued
at one hundred and seventy-fve
thousand dollars. and furnishes the
largest accommodate ons of any col
ored school in North Carolina, and
viewed from the standpoint of ad
vanced pupils as to numbers, it is
not surpassed by any colored
school in the country. According
to catalogue Of last year, there
we're in attendance, including the

dents, males 372 and females 206.
Of these 81 were in the theologi-

Saturday and Sunday and went back
to Socorro without the ball they came to
get, the score on Saturday being Santa
Fe 10, Socorro 10, and on Sunday Santa
Fe IL Socorro /, but only four innings
were played, on account Of the rain.
Socorro was clearly aut classed and Will
have to practice more IN team work to
be in 1T with the home team. although
the catching of Alternately in right field
and his throwing to I'd base making two
double plays was one of the features OF
Saturdays game, as was the battery
work of Wilson and Cook after Chaves
had retired from the box. Shoemaker
pitched good game all through and
had he received the support of the in
field as he should have, would have kept
the score down to about three, but costly
errors and wild throws of W. Parsons
and Fl. Alarid allowed the visitors to
make about seven runs.

ment, estimating the number killed in

Two rescuing parties started into the
Thistle and Fraterville mine entrances
as soon as possible after the explosion.
The Thistle party was unable to make
any headway whatever, as the gas sti-
| fled the men almost as soon as they en-
tered the shaft. The Fraterville party
went as far as parting of the ways
into the mine where a heavy fall of
slate was encountered. This cut off
further progress until the slate was re-
moved. Intense heat indicates that the
mine Is on fire.
AT II o'clock there no longer existed
any question that the Thistle miners
also suffered in the disaster.

of greed in his policy. He said McKin-
lev had put his seal of approval upon
the holding of the Philippines in trust
for their Inhabitants. He said congress
would more likely cede back the valley
Of the Mississippi. than leave the Phil
ippines to anarchy.
The senate adopted the conference re-

agreement eliminates the Selfrldge
board claim, which was the principal
item Of dispute. After disposing OF
some routine business the senate, at
