Monongahela, Pa. — An explosion took place in the Marianna mine of the Pittsburg-Buffalo Company in “I Washington county in which all the men in mine except one were killed. The number of workmen is not known, but the highest, estimate is two hun- dred and forty. The explosion occurred at 10:55 | o’clock Saturday. The cause is not | definitely known, but it is believed that a pocket of gas was struck by a miner, inducing the explosion. . The ‘explosion came just as a big of November 25, within sight of the whole populaticn of the city who were powerless to give aid. The British steamer Sardinia of the Ellerman line, from Liverpool for Alexandria, with a crew of 44 Englishmen, 11 first and six second-cabin pilgrims aboard, caught fire and with a few was a roaring furnace. Safety lay only in the sea, for no one could save himself jumping overboard and taking chances of being picked up. Assistance was hurried to the burning vessel from the warships in the harbor and from shore, but the work of rescue was greatly' impeded by the. strong tide that was running. Even the naval launches were unable to go along side. Among the Arabs there was a panic that could not be controlled. of them were too terrified to jump and they were burned to death. Others were drowned. casting themselves into The crew behaved with admirable courage, serving our life preservers to the last and working the pumps. ‘When the pumps became useless, Cap- the tain Charles little, commander of the | the helm and directed 5 the shore so leng as ted.

Fifty or more bodies have been re- covered and 70 persons rescued. It is impossible at present to say just how nany were drowned or burned e the list of Arab pil- lete, but the number will doubtiess far exceed 100. After the vessel refused to obey her helm, she drifted around three times and finally was beached broadside cn the rocks at the mouth of the harbor, to death, becar grims is incompl The British Vice Admiral, Sir sheton, Curzon-Howe and Admir Fisher directed the rescuing boats, saving which did gallant work in those who were yet alive and bringing the bodies of the dead ashore.

The injured are being cared for in hospitals. One of the rescued passengers gave a graphic account of the disaster. ANARCHY IN HAITI Wholesale Butcheries by Both Sides Privately Reported. New Orleans.—Private cable ad- vices from Port-au-Prince say the cen- sored dispatches from Haiti give only a faint idea of the reign of terror now existing on that island. Anarchy reigns throughout Haiti; the country is literally running with blood and foreighers are making frantic appeals to their government for protection. French and German representatives are said to have cabled their govern- ments for ships. Wholesale executions are in pro- gress, both by the Government forces and the revolutionists. Persons sus- pected of sympathy with the insur- gents are being summarily shot by order of President Nord Alexis. The same course is being followed by the revolutionists, who have the southern portion of the republic. Every person in that section who sympathies with the government is promptly put to death when his sym- pathies become known to General Si- mon, leader of the ins«rgenis.” It is. the general opinion in St. Thomas that intervention by the United States is necessary to protect life and property in Ha:ti.

La Porte,” Ind.—Ray Lamphere, charged - with arson and the murder children by setting fire to the Gun- ness house April 28, was wound guilty of arson by the jury, which had the case under consideration for 24 hours. Within five minutes after the ver- dict was reported Judge Richter sen- tenced the defendant to the State pen- itentiary at Michigan City for an in- determinate term of from two to 21 years. He will be taken to Michigan City to begin his sentence. Previous to the handing of the ver- dict to Judge Richter Foreman Hill said he wished to make a statement to the court, but Judge Richter in- formed him he could not hear any statement until after the verdict had been received and read. After it had been read Judge Richter asked him if he cared to make the statement, but he said it would do no good now. Following the withdrawal of jury Judge Richter bade to stand up. The prisoner's face looked haggard and his eyes were downcast. He held his hands before him as if his wrists wre still shackled and then, just as the church bells of ter asked him if he had any reason pronounced. He replied slowly but distinctly: “lI have none.” Attorney Worden, said a motion for a new trial would be made, and should it be refused an appeal to the Indiana Supreme Court | would follow.

The old savant believes, in spite of all discouragement, that men ought to live “at least 150 years’ under ideal cencitions, as that is the normal per- iod of the body’s power of resistance. He says that if, through discoveries, power effectively to fight certain in- testinal germs can be secured, this dream will be realized. Uncle Joe and the Tariff.

TROOPS ARRIVE TOO LATE Governor Was Advised of Situation and Ordered Militia to Proceed at Once to Scene. : Union City, Tenn. — Tiptonville, bordering on Reelfoot lake, which recently has been the scene of many stirring incidents, witnessed the *le- galized’’ lynching of three negroes who were arrested for murdering on Saturday Special Deputy Sheriff Rich- ard Burruss and wounding John Hall, a deputy sheriff. The execution of the negroes was given a semblance of legality by a hurried “trial” arranged with the un- derstanding that the men would be condemned to death as soon as the “trial’’ was over. The negroes lynched were Mar- shall, Edward and James Stineback. Thése brothers created a disturbance at a religious meeting near Tipton- ville Saturday night. When Officers Burruss and Hall attempted to arrest them, the negroes shot the officers. Tuesday morning they were surround- ed and captured in a swamp near Ridgely. The negroes, covered by a jail at Tiptonville. when arrested, had were out of ammunition. Soon the jail was surrounded by a mob which had no hesitancy in light. J. L. Burnette, a lawyer, begged the mob to let the law take its course, promising that full justice would be done the three black men. This met with a long growl of disapproval, and Mr. Burnette, seeing that his remarks were of no avail, pleaded men if they were determined to lynch the negroes, to wait until nightfall. Taylor Hall, a brother of the wound- ed. deputy sheriff, seconded Mr. Bur- nette. The mob, however, was rest- less and it was apparent that delay would not be brooked. As a last resort, S. J. Caldwell and Sheriff Haynes went before Justice Lee Davis and explained the situation. Justice Davis at once agreed to “open court” at 5 o'clock, “summon a jury” and allow the negroes, after “all avail- able evidence” was heard, to be “duly sentenced to death.” Meantime, Governor Patterson was advised by telephone of the situation and he ordered a company of militia to proceed from Union City with all negroes and conduct them to a place of safety. The troops started at once, but failed to arrive in time to prevent the lynching. At the ‘“‘trial” all the evidence of those who had seen the killing was heard, and in an incredibly time the “case” was givey to the “jury,” which in a few minutes “re- turned a verdict of guilty,” and “fix- ed the penalty at death.” The “sentence” had barely been passed on the three negroes when the mob, with a wild whoop, swarmed into the court room, seized the pris- oners, rushed them to a large tree near the edge of the town and “duly executed the sentence of death” by hanging them, firing volley after vol- ley into the air as the bodies were drawn up from the earth.
