face and figure may be seen in every
Bell telephone directory, lies dead,
from gaping wound i'll her throat,
while Leland Dorr Kent is at the

he will live. Kent's statement to the
coroners has not been made public,
but he claims that the girl wounded
him and then killed herself. His

as l.. b. Kent and wife. They were
found in their room this morning,
the gin dead and the man wild and

DISASTROUS EXPLOSION.

Roanoke, Va, Sept. 16.-A special
from Norfolk, W. Va, to the Roanoke
Time says:
A disastrous gas and powder ex-
oTdsion' occurred in the Big Four mine
of the Algoma Coal and Coke COM
pany here this morning. James Les
ter, an engineer, John Rookie, a
Hungarian miner, and fifteen colored
miners are known to be in the mine
now and there is no chance of their
, being recovered alive, as they are be-
yond the point where the explosion
occurred, and the gas and smoke is so
thick that the rescuing parties are
being driven back. H. f. Franken-
! field, the bank boss, and George Gas
pie, hungarian miner, succeeded in
crawling over the fallen coal and
slate to the lights of the rescuing
party and have been taken cut alive,
although they are both badly burned
and were nearly suffocated by the gas
nd smoke inhaled,
| The explosion was caused by the
accumulation of gas taking fire from
| the lamp of a miner who was going
to work. This in turn fired kegs of
blasting powder which resulted in an
/ explosion which closed the mine en-
trance, cutting off the supply Of
air from the men who are imprisoned
| behind the wreckage A slight eX-
! plosion had occurred Sunday night
and the men had been cautioned,
but no one had fully realized the dan
ger. 1t is understood that the Goa
is burning and the flames cannot bC
extinguished till new air passage
can be opened to the point of the ex
plosion.

COLOR LINE DRAWN.

Chicago, Sept. 15.-The color line
has been drawn at Northwestern Uni
versity, and no co eds. of color will
be admitted to the young women S

passed on the matter, after many
stormy meetings, and the faction in
favor of drawing the color line won
by a decisive majority. The con-
troversy over the question arose year
ago, when young woman living in
Texas engaged room at Chaplin Hall
and when she arrived to occupy it
was learned for the first time that
she was negress.

A reception was held in the parlors
from six to eight o'clock, and large
number of alumni signed the alumni
register. They came from Montpe-
lier, from all parts of the State, and
from beyond its borders, indicating
the wide region from which the Sem
inary's constituency is drawn and the
interest its graduates have in their
Alma Mater. They ranged, in the
order of their classes, from the early
eighties to 1902.
At eight O'Clock the fourth annual
banquet of the Montpelier Seminary
Young Alumni Association took place
i'll the large dining room. The hall
was decorated with red white and
blue bunting and hanging from the
ceiling were the flags of Dartmouth,
University of Vermont, Yale, Syra-
cuse, New England Conservatory,
Harvard Law, Wesleyan and Boston
University. Covers were laid for
nearly four hundred and fifty and
ample justice was done to the fine
menu. The toast list, as printed in
yesterdays Journal, was followed,
with these changes: Clark Hood re-
sponded to the toast Z. Y. NJ. Hon.
F. A. Rowland and G. H. Burt, '93,
were absent; Rev. George Spencer,
'S6, was asked by the president to
take Mr.. Burt's place, and in behalf of
the Young Alumni Association pre-
sented the school with new scholar
ship to be given to that person, who
proves himself to stand first in both
athletics and scholarship during the
year preceding graduation. A like
scholarship was presented by the
school and Mr.. Davenport, the princi-
pal accepted both. During the course
of the evening there was plenty of
cheering, singing, and merriment ac-
companied by a flow of wit ana rep
artee from the many jolly wags in at
tendance. The banquet came to a
close shortly after ten; the assem-
blage adjourned to the parlors where
