A Clinical Preparation That Positively
Kills the pandruff Germ.
A most important discovery has been
made after a years patient laboratory
work aimed in a certain direction - IL
is Newbro's Herpicide. a preparation
that prevents falling hair and speed
lily and permanently eradicates dan
druff These evils are caused by
germ or parasite that burrows into the
scalp. throwing up dandruff, as it seeks
TO sap the life OF the hair at the root
There's no badness without falling or
thin hair. no thin hair without dan
druT, and no dandruff if the germ is
destroyed. Newbro's Herpicide is the
only hair preparation that will do the
work. Destroy the cause. you will
remove the effect" Sold by leading
druggists. Send 10 cents in stamps for

MINE DISASTER
in ALABAMA
One Hundred and Sixty Men Met
Death in Explosion.
BODIES FRIGHTFULLY MANGLED

Birmingham, Ala, Feb. 22.-of the
100 miners of Virginia City who en-
tered the mine thus far only 50 bodies
have been recovered. The recovery al
ready OF so dead bodies precludes any
idea that life may still remain among
the unfortunates. With the first omi-
nous rumble of the coming catastro-
phe, by common impulse every one in
the village rushed to the mouth of the
main slope. The scenes at the mine
were the most narrowing that ever
have been witnessed in the mining sec
ton of Alabama. The corpses were
frightfully mangled and disfgured, and
identification is almost impossible.
Many of the bodies are so bruised,
twisted and discolored that negroes
cannot be told from white men.
The explosion is believed to have
been caused by an accumulation of
gas, although the mine has heretofore
been noted for being entirely free
from gases.
All day long at the mouth of the
mine were waiting and moaning many
women and children whose relatives
were among the unfortunates. One
hundred families and 300 children are
left destitute and without means of
support by the calamity.
AS the bodies of the victims, which
in many cases have been gathered to-
gether a piece at a time, are brought
to the surface, they are placed in rows
on a rough improvised platform.
Since the list of dead probably will
go to $50, the local undertakers have
wired to adjoining cities for coffins, as
It was found there were not enough
suitable coffins in the district to bury
The victims.
Out of the so bodies recovered one
was found in which there were faint,
fickering signs of life. The body was
carefully taken from the mine and
heroic efforts resorted to to bring the
man to consciousness. He is still alive,
but scant hope is held out for his re-
covery.
One of the most gruesome sights wit
messed was a mans head being carried
out of the mine in a dinner basket 1t
VAS found in this position, and the
flesh was almost entirely burned away
from the skull. Legs, arms and man
gled trunks were brought out in sue
'cession. After nightfall the entrance
to the mine was converted into aver
table chamber of horrors, the awful
ness of which was intensified by the
Pickering of the lamps as the feeble
rays fell upon the mangled and bleed
ing fragments of human flesh strewn
about the entrance.
Many stout-hearted men who had
been assisting in the work of rescue
were forced to give up the task, and
numerous persons have tainted upon
seeing the CHASTITY array Of bodies.
Several women became hysterical;
others tainted, and still others had to
be placed in the hands of attending
surgeons, being completely prostrated
by the terrible scenes. When bodies
are identified a tag is placed upon
each and special ambulances convey
them to Bessemer.

St Clairsville, o., Feb. 21. - Four
men are dead and IA injured, three of
them seriously, as the result of the ex-
plosion of a stationary boiler at No. 1
mine of the Providence Coal COM
pany, near here.
The mine shaft, which has just re-
Gently been completed has not been
operated daily on account of installa-
tion of new mine machinery, but the
employees reported every day to learn
if their services were needed. Being
wet and cold, the men congregated in
the boiler house, a temporary struc-
ture, equipped with an old boiler,
which had been used in sinking the
shaft and was still in use pending
the installation of the new boiler.
Without a moments warning, the
boiler exploded with terrific report,
hurting the men in all directions and
blowing the building into fragments.

OYERRULED
IN ST. ELIzABEI this CASES
In Barry and Connors Cases Justice
Will Not Be Governed by For
mer Decision.

Justice Stafford will not follow the
precedent set by Justice Wright and
Justice Barnard in the Willis and Shaffer
habeas corpus cases. in the disposition
Of the John connors and Matthew ].
Barry cases. which are practically on all
fours with the former cases.
Justice Stafford will announce his de-
cision in the Connors and Barry cases
on Wednesday nest. and it win be prac-
tically an overruliug of the judgments
in the Willis and Shafler cases.
Barry and Connors are veteran volun-
teer soldiers. who were committed to St
Elizabeth's Hospital for the Insane by
order of the president of the board of
mana gers OF the National Home for Dis
abted Volunteer Soldiers on the ground
they are insane. Petitions for their re-
lease from the asylum were filed by
Catherine {. Goodrich. who alleged they
are not insane and we're never declared
to he so by a judicial tribunal.
When the question of their discharge
from custody came up for consideration
yesterday afternoon Assistant District
Attorney Easby-Smith submitted law TO
the court relative 10 the COmmi time mt
and detention of the subjects which was
not presented at the hearings in the
sWfflTs and Shaffer cases. This law de-
up TO that time was inclined to follow
the precedent laid down IN the Willis
and ShaffeT eases.
The contention of the petitioners is
that the president has no authority to
remove them from the National Home
for Disabled Volunteers and send them
TO st. Elizabeth's asylum. They also
contend that the superintendent Of the
asylum has no authority in law TO re-
ceiVe them and restrain them Of their
liberty.
1t was pointed out to the court that
under the act of 1866 establishing the
National Home for Volunteer Soldiers
home and were admitted, subjected
themselves again to the military law
and fell under the complete control of
the military authorities who might send
them anywhere for their own benefit
and treatment. Under the act of 1882
the superintendent of St EliZabeth's
Asylum IS authorized to admit and keep
any soldier transferred from soldiers
homes.
