Thirty Die From Explosion Of Fire Damp
in Canada Coal Mine.
SHOCK WAS TERRIFIC
Over Fifty Men Entombed in Coal
Mine, Whose Chambers Extend
Under the Sea, and Only Twenty
FIVE Are Rescued-Flames Retard
hn lLnnlr
the Rescue Work.

Thirty lives are known to have
been lost in an explosion that en-
tombed more than fifty men in the
Extension Mine of the Wellington
,Colliery Company at Nanaimo, D. c.,
Tuesday.
Twenty-Five of the imprisoned men
were rescued, but the rapidly spread
ing fire prevented the rescuers from
completing their work. Eight bod
les were recovered and the workers
were making every effort to force
further entrance into the two levels
affected by the explosion in an effort
to save any who may be living and
to recover the bodies of the dead be-
fore they are consumed.
The fire was constantly gaining
headway, and while it continues,
there is little hope of the rescuers
being able to reach the imprisoned
men.
All the men rescued were badly
injured.
The men employed in the co,liers
on Vancouver Island are Of the bet
ter class of British miners, are well
paid and have comfortable homes.
The Wellington Golfers Company,
which owns the Extensive Mine, rs
controlled by British Columbia cap
italists, Lieutenant Governor James
Dunsmuire being the head Of the
corporation.
The shock was terrific, but it's ef-
feet was confined to the slope where
in it occurred. All Of the men IN
the other slopes and leveles escap-
ed. q
Fifty men were engaged in rescue
work. Hundreds of inhabitants and
miners volunteered aid, but the ma
ture Of the rescue work precluded
more than fifty being engaged.
The rescuers hoped the flames
would die down so as to permit the
rescue. CT the entombed, but thsir
chances seemed hopeless.
The explosion was due to fire
damp, the timbers in two levels at
once gniting and the fire spread
ing with great rapidity.
Residents of NanaimO have been
prevented from going to Extension,
where the disaster occurred, and
only rescuers, miners and officials
are on the scene.
The mine is situated sixty miles
north of Victoria, near the seacoast.
Some of the chambers run under
the sea.
More than three thousand men are
employed pe these colliers, which
are the second largest in Canada, and
have been operated for forty years.
They have been the scene Of several
disasters IN recent years.

A Stroke of Good Fortune.

The Augusta Entertainment Course
Committee had stroke Of good luck
in being able to secure Leland Powers
as one of the three great attractions
this fall and winter. This noted man,
who is acknowledged by all to be the
worlds greatest impersonatOrs, is in
such demand in the large cities that
he is always booked in advance for
a year or more.
His record for return engagements
in the big city entertainment courses
is as remarkable as it is unequalled.
In the Association Course, Philadel-
phia, he has had twenty-five re-en-
gagements. In Brooklyn Institute,
Brooklyn, he has appeared nineteen
times; in Carnegie Hall, Pittsburg,
Pa, fourteen times; Association
Course Chicago, ten times: Pottsville,
Pa, twenty-five times; Chatauuua As
sembiy twenty-eight times; Univer-
sty of Michigan seventeen times.
By a stroke of good fortune his one
open engagement in March was OBJ
tanned for Augusta. While the price
paid was unusually large--undoubted-
ly greater than for any similar at
traction ever here-we believe that Au-
gusta and surrounding cities will
show their appreciation by croWding
City Hall to it's doors when he ap-
pears.

CLEARING the Atmosphere.

In his capacity Of dramatic critic
Mr. ]. Comyns Carr, the author wrote
a notice of the play of Charles L." in
which Irving played under the man
agement of Mr. Bateman. His produc-
ton deeply incensed the manager. In
order perhaps to find the opportunity
of informing the critic Of his disap-
prevail, the manager invited him to a
supper at the Westminster club on the
second or third night of the produc-
ton. When he thought the fitting mo-
ment had arrived Mr.. Bateman led the
conversation to the point at issue and,
emphatically banging the table with
his fist, declared in the lcudest Of
tones that he did not produce his plays
at the Lyceum theater to please Mr..
Comyns Carr. There was q moments
awkward silence, which Mr. Carr con
fesses he did not feel quite able to
break, but which was released by a
wit of the company with the happy re-
tort, "Well, dear boy, then you can't
be surprised if they don't please him"

Old Manx "Banknotes."

Speaking of the curious Manx bank
ing lore Of the past, the Liverpool Post
says that a singular state Of affairs
was exhibited in ''the island at the
close of the Napoleonic wars. Trade
was brisk, money was more freely ad-
ventured, and all sorts of private per-
sons began to issue notes. There was
no occasion whatever to have sterling
against them. All you had to do was
to get some one to take them and pass
them on. The fashion grew till even
the humber traders issued card
promises to pay" the values most in
circulation being 5 shillings, a shilling
and even sixpence. Once an advo-
cate from Castletown went to Peel to
collect a judgment Of 1850 from the
coroner of Glenfaba. This worthy paid
him 2,704 card notes, many Of them
worthless. They took several hours to
examine and count, and their trans
port was an item Of extreme difficulty
Finally they were put into big sack
half shaken to one end and half to the
other, and the whole slung over the
back Of a horse. The lather of the
horse, soaking through, spoiled nearly
half the cards!
