WOULDN'T OPEN THE HATCHEs.-A
small schooner, the first for several
weeks, arrived here yesterday with a
load OF oysters. When it was nolsed
around number OF would-be customers
repaired to the wharf anxious to re-
plenish their stocks. To their disap-
pointment and chagrin, the captain pos
tively refused to open the matches
giving as the reason for his singular
procedure that it Was Friday, sn uu.
lucky day, and he did not propose to
tempt Providence. The customers
were compelled to wait until this morn
ing for supplies.

wHIsTLRBLOWIN0.- Shortly alter
eleven O'Clock last night many people
were awakened and those who we're
awake had their attention attracted oy
the whistle OF locomotive which sent
forth q steady blast for about thirty
minutes. As 1t showed no indication
of stopping, most people supposed q
Are had broken out and listened Tor the
alarm and bell-riDeing incident TO such
occa.Ions. One OF the fire engines, how
ever, proceeded westward to the neigh
borhood OF the Southern Railway, the
direction from which the sound was
coming, but found no fire. but learned
that the whistle of one OF the passenger
engines bad gotten dersnged and could
not be shut of. Passenger train NO.
81 left Alexandra at lilo O'Clock, and
when 1t approached the first crossing
the whistle was sounded, but when the
engineer attempted to close the valve
he found himself powerless to do 30.
The train kept on q short distance
when it Yves stopped and every endeav..
or put forth to SILENCE the prolonged
blast. The Chesapeake and Ohio pass
eneer train was to follow 10 few min
utes. and 1t was determined to sldetrsck
the Southern train and allow the form
er to 90 by. The whistle In the mean
time continued It's hoarse blast, with no
indications OF coming to q stop until ell
the steam was out of the boiler. 10 the
meantime messages were sent to the
deport and another locomotive, No. 3O7
was sent to the rescue. This engine
was attached to the train and 1t proceed
ed south about half an hour late. The
whistling engine was taken to the de-
Dot and finally silenced.

THE PoToMAC.-Advlces received
Yesterday afternoon and last night
showed a second rise 10 the Sheoan'
doah and upper Potomac. at Cumber'
land the rise during the day was about
six feet. The Weather Bureau agent
At Harper's Ferry reported that seri-
Gus rise was indicated. The rise wac
expected ID reach Hsrpsr's Ferry about
midnight and was expected at Alexand'
ria this morning. Should the rise In
the Shenandoah be as great as indicst-
ed, the water was expected to reach
higher stage than on Thursdsy.
The river front and parts OF Union
street were quagmires this morning
from the effects OF yesterdays high
tides and rains. Chips, fragments OF
bark, &c., were to be seen we'll into
Union street OF several places, where
they had been left by food. The tide
did not make as high during the night
as had been anticipated, nor did 1t
reach the mark attained yesterday at
noon. The current is still strong In
the channel and the tide made high
again today, but 1t ID thought the
worse Ia oyer. The steamer Washing
ton. which arrived up this morning
from Norfolk, reported encountering
the current from the mouth OF the
river up. Up to midnight the river had
not risen to the flooring OF the Long
Bridge. The water rushed beneath the
bridge about q foot beneath the floor
ing, and surged 10 and out OF the sup
ports of the structure at q great rate.
The highest point reached by the wa
ter at Washington, as announced last
night at Q o'clock, was seven and one
te5th feet above the usual levsl. From
suoh a rise the water fell during ysster'
d.y afternoon little over one foot.

Vancouver, B. c., May 23.-Pros-
poets are poor for getting a story of
the mine disaster from Fernie for
some hours. There is only one slow
wire, and it is choked up with private
messages. The company will not ac-
cept any specials until this wire is
clear. A private dispatch just receiv-
ed here says that every one. in the
mine was killed. So far only six
bodies of the 1872 victims have been
recovered. The cause of the explo-
sion is said to have been due to fire.

which a miner was lighting a pipe in

Victims Mostly Foreigners.

Seattle, May 23.-Fernie is a town
in the eastern part Of the province of
British Columbia on the Crows Nest
Pass branch of the Central Pacific
railroad. II lies in the center of a
country very rich in coal deposits.
The veins extend eastward into the
neighboring territory of Alberta. The
building of the railway, four years ago
was followed by the operation of the
coal mines, which belonged to a COM
pany composed largely of Toronto
capitalists. These are the coal fields
that J.. J.. Hill was reported to have
gained control nf a year or SO ago,
but beyond the Great Northern being
one of the coal company's best Gus
toners, no evidence of this control
has been apparent. Fernie's only in
dustry is mining and it's population
is about 5000. Most of the miners
are foreign born.

the Crows Nest coal mines, has re-
ceived a message from Fernie this
morning, saying that IN explosion had
occurred in No. 2 and No. 3 slopes, re-
sulting in the death of 1875 men. The
mines affected are situated on Coal
creek, six miles from Fernie. No. 2
tunnel is two miles long and No. 8
about the same length. From these
two mines and No. / most of the coal
of the district is taken. They have
been we'll developed, the tunnels run

men who visited the mine that it was
not we'll ventilated and that ar ex-
plosion was inevitable.

to the danger Of rescue work. People
are hoping against hope, but it is un-
likely that any Of the miners entomb-
ed in. the shaft Will be seen again
alive.
A new fear has become general at
the pits that the mines may catch fire
at any time and survivors are being
warned by their relatives not to ven
ture into the shafts, even for rescue
work. However, the work Is progress

deemed practicable and safe.

TO BRIDGE SALT A x
Southern Pacific Is About to Build
a Iona Trestle Across 1t, 4

southern PACIFIC Is ApOut 10 6utIO
a Long Trestle Across 1t.
Salt Lake, May 23.-One of the most
remarkable tasks of railroad engineer
ing undertaken in the west in recent
years is about to be begun by the
! Southern Pacific in Utah. For the
sake of saving four and a half miles
the railroad is about to build a new
line 105 miles long, and for part of
the way the road will run on a timber
trestle across Great Salt lake. It now
runs around the nortern end of the
lake over a route bothered by many
sharp curves and. heavy grades. The
work will take three years to COM
plete. 1t calls for an expenditure of
100000 a year. The most formidable
part will be the building of the trestl7
cross the main body of the lake at
a point where it is seven miles across.
The lake bed is comprised first OF
a layer of fine sand from six to 30
inches in depth. Then comes q hard
stratum of soda formation from a foot
to IS inches thick and after that sand
AMI blue clay alternately for an in
defrite depth. The road will be
built on piles driven into this mass.
The trestle will be built high enough
to allow for a rise of the water, which
at this point is now about 80 feet
deep. It has been the experience on
the lake hitherto that sand tends to
accumulate around driven piles. Il
this should be repeated here the re,
suit will be q Swallowing of the water
and Increased security along the road.
Besides saving time OF the Southern
Pacific the construction Of the line
will bring immense deposits Of guano
on islands in Salt Lake within easy
reach Of a market.
