Cause Of Explosion.
1t is explained as the cause of the
explosion that probably Lark Hunter
and John Harvey. firemen, fired the
blasts before all the men got out of
the mines. 1t is supposed that one of
the fuses was defective, and resulted
in what is known as a blown blast"
flame shooting out from the blast and
igniting the gas, which in turn ignited
the accumulation of dry coal dust.
The explosion that followed was hor-
rible in its intensity. 1t shot out of
the mouth of the mine, and completely
wrecked the building at the entrance
The men were killed while standing
outside of the mine, and two were ser.
iously and one fatally injured.
Past Disasters.

serious explosions in the past In 1895
four men We're killed and eight serious
ly injured by an explosion of gas. Or
i December 20, 1885, by an explosion O.
mine dust twenty-eight lives were lost
This was caused by miner carrying
an open lamp contrary to the mining
regulations. In May, 1901, an eXplo
sion of similar nature occurred il
the Shalliday mine, operated by thu
same company, in which twenty-o nt
lives were lost.
Bodies Torn to Pieces.
The force of the explosion toda,
was terrible. The bodies were liter
ally torn to pieces. 1t is stated tina

Honest Mistake.

The story is told of little New Eng
land girl the workings of whose Pur-
itan conscience involved her in Difficult
ties on one occasion.
She was studying mental arith-
metic at school, and took no pleasure
in it. One day she told her mother
with much depression of spirit that she
had failed again in mental arlthme-
tic" and on being asked what problem
had proved her undolng she sorrowful-
ly mentioned the request for the add.
ton of mine and four"
And didn't you know the answer,
dear" asked her mother.
"Yes'm," said the little maid 'but
you know we are to write the answers
on our states, and before l thought |
made four marks and counted up, ten,
'leven, twelve, thirteen and then of
course | knew that wasn't mental, so
] wrote twelve for the answer, to be
fair"

TURKEY HELD RESPONSIBLE.

Constantinople, Sept. 1.-The re-

government had addressed an abrupt
note to United States Minister
Fleischman, in which it absolutely
refused to further discuss the respon-
sibilitty for the capture by brisands
of Miss Ellen M. Stone, the Ameri-
can missionary and her companion ia
September, 1901 as the outrage was
not committed on Turkish territory
is not true. AS matter of fact, the
question Of the pope's responsibility
is indispensable since the capture,
payment Of the ransome and liberia
tion of the captives all occurred In
Turkish territory.
The correspondence on the subject
Of the measures taken or the discov-
cry and arrest OF the brigands contin-
ues, and the insufficiency Ct the re-
ports displayed by Turkish authori-
ties has been the subject of complaint
by the United States legation.

SHOOTS PEACEMAKER DEAD.

Winfield, Colo, Sept. Fin a re
volver and rifle duel on Main street
here Gus Sjostron, aged thirty five,
a swede miner, was killed; Sam
Amsdon, aged thiry-fve also a
miner, was shot through the left
breast and and mortally wounded.
and Chauncey Bennett, a bartender,
was shot in the groin and perhaps
fatally wounded.
The shooting was the direct re-
suit Of Amsdon's Jealousy of the at
tentlons paid by Andy Malloy, a
young miner to Amy Bits, a fifteen
year-old girl with whom Amsdon
was in love. Amsdon, armed with a
rife, went on a hunt for Maloy. He
saw his rival on the streets and
fired two shots at him. Neither
reached It's mark and Maloy escaped.
Sjorstron later attempted to make
peace between the two men 'Amsdon
resented the interference, and the
shooting followed. Bennett was an
innocent bystander.

BIG BALLOON OUT OF SIGHT

Denver, Sep. 2.-The last report Of
the progress Of the balloon which was
sent up from this city yesterday af-
ternoon in an effort to establish a
new long distance aud time record
was received from Castle Rock last
night.
1t was to the effect that near that
point just at dusk, quantity OF bal
last was fused out and Immediately
the balloon began to ascend, until a
height OF 4 900 feet was attained. The
balloon then started in a southwest
ern direction, and when it passed
from view was apparently going at a
high rate of speed.
The story that q descent to the
ground was made anywhere since
the start is vigorously denied by
those who should know. 1t Is ex-
pected that the occupants Of the ba-
loon will soon release one of the
parachute message carriers, the con-
tents Of which will be telegr phed
here.
