REscuERs MAKE
A NEW OPENING.

The rescuers were unable to get fur
ther into the mine until an additional
opening had been made to permit fresh
air to reach the lower levels and clear
away the foul gas. The work is progress
sing slowly owing to the narrow space
in which the rescuers are compelled to
operate, but by daylight the mine should
be opened sufficiently to permit of deep
explorations and rescue the dead bodies.
Late tonight party of rescuers reach
ed four mules that were alive and this
caused hope to arise. Some of the miners
that escaped said that they saw twenty
dead bodies in entry No. II. They re-
port that many Of the men were warned
by the explosion and ran hither and
hither. Many OF these could have es-
capped but they laid down. buried their
faces in their hands and gave up the
fight. OF the 24o dead about 175 were mar
ried and leave large families. About 100
were Finlanders. 50 were colored and the
balance were Americans.

REscUiNo PARTY
WORKS ALL DAY.

All day the rescuing party worked the
force being increased from time to time
by the arrival of ranchmen and others
from nearby settlements, and by those of
relief train sent out from Rawlins
About o'clock this afternoon four men
were taken out alive and half hour later
they were followed by forty-two others.
Many were unconscious and had to be
carried from the workings. Some were
injured but none fatally. Several are in
a serious condition, but it is believed all
will recover
Two hundred and eighty-two men went
down in the mine at o'clock, and up to
a late hour tonight only forty-eight have
been accounted for. OF this number. two
are dead. 1t was some time after the
explosion occurred that the first man was
brought to the surface. He was followed
by others until at 1 o'clock, when the
last were brought out.

GENES AT MINES
ARE HEART-RENDlNc.

The scenes at the mine are heart-rend-
ing. Wives and children OF men who are
known to have been inside eagerly hang
about the shaft kept only by the cooler
heads from plunging in. The Union Pa
cihc railroad, which owns the mine, has
all OF it's extra employees working to
reach the imprisoned men. The flames
seem to be abating and there Is hope OF
getting most Of the bodies out by MORN
Ing. So tense is the excitement that none
seem able to show how the disaster oc-
Cured. The supposition is that some
careless miner allowed his lamp to come
in contact with fire damp.

HOme.u

A traveller in Tasmania came across
an old settler sitting in front of his
cabin, over the door of which was legi-
bly, painted: "Ici on parle Francois"
A tattered, dejected-looking French
man came up the road, paused in front
of the hut, read the inscription, rushed
up to the Australian, and enthuSiastic-
ally kissed him on the cheek, says Lon
don Tit-Bits.
"'Ere, what'r you up to?" said the
owner, grufiy. Don't you do that
agin."
But you vas countryman Of mine"
explained the Frenchman, with a smile
of pleasure on his face.
Certainly not" retorted the Aus
tralian.
'But you put lei on parle Francois
over re door," said the Frenchman,
pointing to the inscription.
swell, what does it mean?" asked the
old settler.
"Means?" cried the Frenchman. ut
means, French is spoken here"
"Well I'm fooled said the man. "a
painter chap came along here the other
day and put that up for me. He said
It was Latin for Heaven bless my hap

ton at the store of w. I. Witten & Co.
The predictions of Rev. Irl R. Hicks.
the noted weather prophet, for the month
OF May have been greatly at fault. On an
examination of his almanac it will be found
that he foretold electrical storms and rains
for number of periods in May, and we
have had none since the 3rd of May. They
may have bad such storms in other por-
tons of the United States, but they were
purely local.
A tent meeting is now being held on
Tazewell Avenue by those who believe in
Christian holiness or sanctifcation. The

1880 in the evening. The party which is

three men and two women, and they are
deeply in earnest in their work. Good
sized congregations are attending, and we
hope their work may accomplish good.

FASHIONABLE FINERY.
Lowers of the Latest I'm
Dress.

Champagne, claret red, and Char
treuse green are three prominent col
ors among spring dress fabrics, both
for day gowns and for evening toilets.
The neutral champagne, pongee, fawp
and pale tan tints are prominent among
the plain and embroidered Examines,
voiles, crepes de chine, mistral canvas
weaves, Irvine cloths and sharks skin
wool armures, says the New York
Post. A new invoice Of goods that will
please economical shoppers includes
mercerized, polka-dotted piques near
ly a yard wide and in fast colors
at ten cents yard; American batistes
in either dark or Light grounds at 1914
cents; Madras and Lowell ginghams
in solid colors; corded stripes, checks
and plaids, 81 and 92-inch wide, at ten
cents yard, and fine Belfast dimities
at % and 81 cents yard, in the latest
spring patterns.
New styles in covert coats are set
forth for the wear of women, young
girls and children ofanyage. Theseare
exhibited in short, three-quarter, and
figure lengths, the front finished with
large smOke-pearl buttons, or else
there is an invisiblefy-front fastening.
Coats of this kind are unlined, and be-
sides forming very seasonable wraps
for the entire spring season, they will
prove very useful on cold days, during
the summer, over gowns of foulard
silk, pique, wolfe, etc.
New shirt waist suits appear, this
week, made of stripes and dotted dim
ity, seaside canvas, fancy Madras, cot
ton cheviot, mercerized cable cord,
Kharo cloth, and linens, plain and en-
broidered. Tucks stitched to founce !
depth appear on the five-gored flare
skirt, and the fulness at the back is
taken up in an inverted box plat.
Many of the new silk or satin sash
ribbons are striped or barred with
line of black velvet, that makes them
very becoming when used for blouse
vest fronts, stocks, ribbon roses, etc.
Entire waists are made of the wider
ribbons, and a pretty result is OBJ
tanned by tucking the silk or satin por-
lions of the striped designs, leaving
the black line untouched This rem
ders the velvet stripe quite prominent,
producing a stylish effect.
Novel French evening dresses of crepe
de chine and chiffon, and tea gowns
of tucked and shirred India silk,
creped wool and taffeta are displayed
at the importing houses this week.
The shirt waist suits of plain and en-
oroidered linen and those of mercer
zed cotton cheviot are trimmed with
The new Teneriffe embroideries, and
;ailor-made silk and satin foulards are
decorated with strappings, tucks and
,iny white buttons.
