A STRANGE COMMUNION
Through Error of Janitor Members of Little Rock Church Partake of
 Bread and Catsup.

Through an error in Judge. ment of a church janitor, the congregation of me of the princi- pal churches of the city is alleged to have par,aken of bread and catsup during a communion service Sunday, instead of the usual bread and wine. The jauitor of the church was sent to the home of the pastor for the jug which contained wine used in communion, and instead, picked up jug of catsup which had been presented to the wife of the pastor. After the minis ter had tasted the catsup in partaking of the communion himself, he had gone too far to turn back, aud with very sober conuteuance, he served each com nunicaut with the tomato product.

Four Days After the Last Of the Vie tims of the First Disaster Was Re. moved a West Virginia Coiiiery Blew Up Again--1oo May Be Dead Were Mainly Americans.

Bluefield W. Va, Jan. f3.--As re suit of another explosion at the Lick branch mine, at Switchback, about 20 miles from here, between 50 and 100 miners were killed at S:30 o'clock Tuesday morning. The number may be largely increased as from 2S0 to 900 miners already were at work at the time, and 1t has not been ascer- tained how many had survived.
 An explosion occurred in this mine December 28 which up to that time had been regarded as model mine The cause of the explosion was not ascertaned. The death list reached 90. The last victim of that explosion was brought to the surface only last Friday, after which the state mine in spector declared that the mine wal again safe and that work could be re sumed.
 The majority of the miners wht were engaged to resume work at the mine were Americans. It was an nounced that the mine was examined early in the day, before the new shif went to work, and that 1t was report ed to be perfectly safe. In spite O this, however. the explosion occurreC soon after work began.
 The mine is the property of thu Pocahontas Consolidated Coilieriel company and is in the Tug river dis trict. territory that, until the De cember explosion, had been unusual. free from gas.
