1.-THE Birmingham hash house is quite
similar to other such establishments in
various parts of the land. 1t is charac-
terized principally by a constant change
in the faces about the board. In town
like Birmingham the people are contin-

is more pronounced in a town like Bir-

place where the population Is settled.
Now, at the hash emporium where

Conductor in Jail.

Durham, Special.-L. J. Glasgow. late
yard conductor on the Southern road
who was brought here from Virginia
last week and waived examination en-
the charge of stealing from a freight
car. is still In jail. He was locked up
last night in default of bond In the
sum Of $500, and up to late this after
noon had been unable 10 arrange the
bond. The erring conductor came here
several years ago from Virginia and
since that time has shown himself 10
be a good railroad man. He married a
Durham girl of good family and has a
wife and two children. He worked his
way up in the employ OF the Southern
road and for s)me time had been yard
master on a salary Of $500 or 81 600
His fall was a great surprise to all who
knew him. For some time the South
ern has been checking up shortage in
freight that was transferred here for
other points. 1t was hard matter to
trace the thefts. as the officials we're
looking for the criminal in some one
lower in the employ. Finally the theft
of two cases OF whiskcy. intended for
the Henderson dispensary, was traced
to Capt GLASGOW. Then he was faced
with the charge, and after denying il
then admitted that he was guilty.

Charleston, W. Va. Special.-As the
result of horrible explosions In the
Rush Run and Red Ash mines, near
Thurmond. Saturday night. "a men now
lie stark in death in the two mines Ten
Of these were killed In the explosion
Saturday night the other Il were a
rescuing party who went into the mine
Sunday morning to recover the black
ened remains OF their fellow-workmen,
and were killed by second explosion
The first explosion seemed to shake the
foundations OF the mountains, and the
angry twin flash from the two neigh
boring drift mouths lighted up the
heavens for miles around Soon, from
the mining villages for several miles up
and dowC the river, hundreds of peo-
pie rushed to the scene of the dreadful
disaster.
The first explosion was caused by
naked fame coming in contact with
the gas. The flames leaped from the
drift mouth and set fire to everything
in reach that was not blown from
harms way by the force of the ex-
plosion. The great drum by which the
loaded cars are run from the drift
mouth down the incline to the tipple
and the empties drawn up, was blown
from its moOrfngs and down the noun
tain side 600 feet, while the drum
caught fire and was totally consumed.
The cars that stood at the mouth of
the mine were blown far down towards
the tipple, and much of the track Of
the incline was destroyed. The rails
were twisted and the cross-ties whip
ped from their beds in the ballest and
away. The big fan that furnished air
in the mine was so damaged that Ii
was several hours before it could be
started again.
After considerable time, the great
fan was repaired and the power turned
on, and it began drawing 100000 cubic
feet of air through the charnel house
each minute. A rescue party was form
ed and about 20 men entered the mine
in search of the bodies of those who
had perished at the first explosion, the
men explored the mines for three
hours, putting up brattices so that
pure air should follow them where
ever they went. Finally some Of them
came out and reported that the others
were too careless in going forward
faster than the good air was being
supplied and carrying at the same time
naked light. At 3:45 another aw-
full explosion. occurred, caused by the
gas coming in contact with the naked
fame of miners lamp, and fourteen
more souls were launched into eter-
nifty.
Mine Inspector Edward Pinckney ar
rived on the ground Sunday and took
charge of the rescue work.

81 Petersburg, By Cable.-While
Emperor Nicholas, whose word is fin
al sill declines to abandon the prose
ru'IOn Of the war, and the government
maintains it's ability to continue the
conflict, it can be authoritatively
stated that powerful influences, in
ending several of the EmperOr's own
ministers. are now strongly urging
that the time has come to indicate
to Japan Russia's desire for peace up
on a reasonable basis. Should Japan
then attempt to impose too onerous
conditions, these influences argue that
in view of the universal wish to see
IN" bloody conflict ended, Russia s
position will be strengthened abroad
by the alienation of sympathy from
Japan. and the situation improved at
home when the nation is made to un-
dorstand that the Emperor's pacific
proposals have been met with i'm
possible terms. The Minister of War
says:
Russia has a hard task, fighting
the war against such adverSaries,
5000 miles from home, and I contend
that she can make a dignified peace,
without glory, but not without honor.
As the victor on land and sea, Japan
can afford to remember, as Bismarck
did at the conclusion of the AustrO-
PruSSian war, that two countries
which must live through the long fu-
ture as neighbors may need each
others friendship. Japan may con-
slider the time prOpitious, on account
Of the situation in European Russia,
TO try and crush us. Suppose, for the
sake of argument, she succeeded in
finally forcing a humiliating peace, it
would not be more than an armed
truce. Russia is too big and power
full to retire permanently from the
field. The clouds at home eventually
will roll away. With the army and
navy reorganized, in five, ten or fifteen
years, there will come inevitably our
revenge. No permanent peace is pos
sible now or later unless Japan is
established.
To the suggestion of the possibility
of an alliance between Russia and
Japan, the Minister said:
"A reasonable peace must first be
established.
Broadly speaking, Russia's renun-
citation of her entire Manchurian poll
cy should satisfy Japan's claim. She
could have her protectOrate over ko-
rca such privileges on the kowontong
Peninsula and at Port Arthur as the
powers would not oppose, and the Chi
nese Eastern Railway be placed under
International control, Russia maintain
Ing her rights to railway line
through northern Manchuria to Vladi-
vOstOck."
