CIIATTANOOOA, Tenn., April 1. At 4:4T o'clock yesterday afternoon an explosion of gas In the Nelson mine or the lnyton Coal nnd Iron company nt l'ayton, Tenn., Ignited the thy coal dust In the mine and caused a terrific explosion. Twenty-two men are know 11 to be dead. (ins exists In the Nelson mine, nnd the men nre required to use safety lamps. It Is the rule of the compnny for the miners to place their fuses ready to be lighted for blasts Just be fore quitting work each day, and there nre workmen known ns "firemen" who go through the mine after nil the mill ers nre out nnd set off these blasts. The miners quit work at 4:110 o'clock yes terday afternoon. It takes them nbout forty-live minutes to get out of the mine. The two "firemen" wJio nre supposed to have caused the explosion nre Lark Hunter and John Harney. They shot the blasts about 4:45 o'clock before all the miners could get out of the mine. It Is fctipposcd that one of the fuses was defective and resulted in what Is known ns the "blown blast." The flame shooting out from the blasts ignited the gas, which In turn Ignited the ac cumulation of dry coal dust in the mine. The explosion that followed was hor rible in Its intensity. It shot out of tho intuit h of the mine and completely wrecked the shed at the mine entrance. Three men were killed while standing outside the mine and two seriously and one fatally injured. The force of the explosion literally mangled and tore bodies to pieces. MINERS ORDER A STRIKE. Ten Thoiiaftml Men Idle In Western I'eniia) I vniiln.

The river la now four or Ave miles wide at Jackson. It Is hlpher than ever known before nnd has done Incalculable (laiinipe to farmers nnd stockmen, ltaekwater from the river covers the Illinois Cen tral tracks near Hryan. Illinois Central trains from Memphis to New Orleans came to Jackson over the Prlseo sys tem via Holly Hpi-lups and from Jack sou via Natchez over the Mississippi valley. s The Alabama and Vlcksburg has five miles of track under water on the other side of the river from this city, and three miles of roadbed Is torn up. The tiulf and Ship Island road Is in about the same Ox. and their bridge here is dumam-d. There Is six feet of water over the track on tho Nankin side of the river. Nearly every Industry In Jackson is topped and hundreds of workmen nre idle because of the breakdown In tho waterworks. The pumping station is nt least twenty feet under water. Stories of distress from the Pearl river valley are reaching Jackson, and relief par ties probably will be sent out. Jackson proper is In no danger, but low places in the suburbs are from one to ten feet under water, nnd hundreds of families have moved to higher ground. TWENTY-TWO DROWNED.

In speaking of railway travel abroatl, as compared to the luxury to be found in the United States, William Howard l-'rancis says in the April I.ipfuuott: "The English arrangement of seats is such that one half the occupants must always rule backward, anil the available space for one's feet is usually so limited as to rentier necessary a nice mutual adjustment of the pedal extremities ol all concerned. Most extraordinary of all are the racks for hand -baggage, small arrangements with netting bottoms, surmounted by signs whereon it is written that disaster will follow an attempt to deposit any thing other than 'light articles there in. The adjective 'light' has so elastic a significence that the traveler hesi tales about trusting so much as a shawl or a hat to the insidious meshes of the net. The weighty impedimenta, such as gripsacks and dress-suit cases, which every traveler must perforce carry, become dreadful night-mates to be huddled on the floor or carried on the knees, to the discomlort of one's ne:ghbors or the misery of one's self. ,"A yet more serious deficiency is in the frequent lack ol the most ordinary conveniences. Many of the carrages, especially those below first-class, have no toilet appliances,, and unless one is so fortunate as to get a carrage with a side corridor (a partial adoption of the American idea), one is likely to have much needless discomfort added to the unavoidable fatigues of travel. It is true that certain English railway companies, notably the London and Northwestern, are doing much in the way of improvement through the ad option of a carriage mo. lelled in cer tain particulars upon the American plan. The compartment division is partly retained, but a central aisle running the entire length renders com munication possible and permits of a toilet-room accessible to all. The carriage is as yet among the luxuiies, however, and is not general." 'Some Reasons' Why You Should Insist on Having EUREKA HARNESS OIL Uueuualed by any other. Renders hard leather soft.
