THE NAiNAiO^ CilAMlTY. Scarcely Anj Hope of Saving the Imprisoned Miners. AGONIZING SCENES ABOVE GROUND. A Hundred and Fifty Miners at the Buttum of th« British Columbia Mine â€"No Hope of Safetyâ€" Ueurt-KendinK Scenes. A Nanainio, B. C, despatch saya : A terrible explosion of gas took place ou Tues- day evening iu the No. 1 shaft of the Van- couver Coal Company's mines, in which there were upwards of one hundred and fifty miners at the time. The first inti- mation those on the surface had of the ex- plosion was a terrific shock, followed by an outburst of thick black smoke ihrough the air shaft. This was quickly followed by a second one stronger than the first, carrying pieces of wood, miners' lamps, etc., hundreds of feet into the air. In a few minutes flames commenced to issue throngh the air shaft with a loud, roaring noise. In a short time the fanhouse caught tire and was quickly consumed. In the meantime nine white men and four Chinese were brought out through the hoisting shaft. Bescuing parties attempted to reach the entombed men, but have been unable to rescue more than fifteen up to this hour. The rescuers were overcome with the after- damp and had to be rescued themselves by others. Sam Hudson, one of the rescuing Sarty, succumbed to the effects of the eadly after-damp. The scene around the â- haft head is most heartrending, the air being tilled with the lamentations of the friends of those imprisoned below looking for the missing. At this hour, 'i p.m., but little hopes are entertained for the safety of the imprisoned men. The fire is still raging, but it is thought it will soon ba got under control. The rescuing party will again attempt to go below. Our Ottawa correspondent telegraphs this (Thursday) afternoon : Mr. Gor- don, M.P., British Columbia, re- presents the district where the explosion took place at Vancouver Coal Company's mines. Kvery miner iu the pit, he tells me, was a personal friend of his own, and conse<juently he feels very ill over the calamity. The mine belonged to an English company and was worked by a perpendicular shaft. Two small explosions took place at this mine before. There were also several casualties. It is understood that the Davy lamp only is to be used but as miners can see better and conse<]uently do more work with a naked light, it is just quite possible that some Chinaman disregarded the rules and caused the explosion. Gibson, the under- ground manager, who had so narrow an escape, was Mayor of Vancouver. The explosion evidently took place in the air shaft, thus destroying the van, so that no Sure air could be sent into the mine. Gor- on has telegraphed for further particulars. Latest Particulars. A despatch from Nanaimo, B. C, this afternoon, says : Jules Michael, who was injured iu the eKplosion in No. 1 shaft of tha VanoouToT Otal Co.'» mine, says be was sitting in the cabin at supper in No. 2 shaft when he felt the concussion. All scrambled out, but became insensible, and only one was saved of his four companions whose dead bodies came up in the cage with him. Several could hardly appreciate their miraculous escape, owing to the da/.ed feeling which all felt who came out from the deadly pit. lie represents tbeexplosion as having been terrific. Everythingbecanie dark at once. John Lynch, who was badly injured about the face and head, and had bis hip fractured, has been demented ever siuce the e.\plosion occurred. His talk is about work in the pit. It is thought he will not recover, having inhaled gas. The others were not injured seriously, though all were badly shaken up. Samuel Hud- son's heroic death is unaccountable. He was a miner of great exix^ricuoe, while those who went down with him to rescue their fellows were comparatively in- experienced. He died from the effects of afterdamp. His brave deed was ono of the bright things in the carnival of misery. All day yesterday gangs of men endeavored to extinguish the llames in No. 1 shaft, and it is believed the fire is under con- trol. The Merryweathor steam tire engine did good work in pumping water from the harbor down the air shaft. It is absolutely impossible to think of get- ting at the imprisoned men until the fire is sutidued. There is danger of the gas being driven into the fire and a second explosion. Even now fears are entertained that the whole )ilace will be blown up. If it should occur the catastrophe would bo the greatest recorded iu the history of coal mining. All hope of rescuing any ono in the mines has been abandoned. It was proposed to cut a ditch to the salt water so as to at- tempt to put out the tiro in No. 'i shaft by turning a stream of water into it, but the Bchcmo was abandoued. The mines extend out from the shore more than a mile be- neath the waters of the harbor, and as ono looks over the waves it is hard to imagine that beneath are imprisoned many dead fathers and sons of this city. jUlOVNU lUB BU.\iT THE SCENES AUE UAREOW- INO IN TUE EXTREMB. Mr. Kideno and Mr. Scott, of the Wellington mines, wont down yesterday afternoon, at tho risk of their lives, in an endeavor to make an investigation as to the manner of procedure. Mr. Chandler, of tho Wellington mines, has been inde- fatigable in his efforts to assist in tho work of rescue. Several physicians arc in at- tendance tendering all the aRsistaiicc in their power. The business houses are closed. The collieries are shut , up and the entire population ''is gathering at tho scene of tho disaster. Wives, terror stricken, crying children and Borrowing fathers hover in the vicinity and mourn their terrible affliction. Oc- casional showers of rain cast a dreariness over tho ghastly scene. Tho imprisoned miners were all old settlers, their faces were familiar on tho streets, and there will bo a void in many homes. The cause of the explosion is un- known. It is generally supposed to have been an explosion of coal dust. Tho tale will probably never bo tokl despatch says : One more body has been brought up, that of Andrew Hunter, mule driver on No. 1 level. Six other bodies were seen there. Scott, of Wellington, has been carried out and is doing well. Samuel Hudson was buried at 3 p. m. by Rev. Mr. Good, the Odd-fellows and the Masons per- forming the ceremonies. There is no hope of saving any more of the men. . This is the saddest day ever known in the history of British Columbia. There are very few people in tho city that have not lost relatives or friends. One lady lost husband, father and brother, and is frantic with grief. All she wishes now is to see her dead husband's face once more. He was to have taken a holiday that day and gone off bicycle riding, but being a rainy day he postponed his pleasure trip and went down into the fatal pit, never to return alive. One gentleman from Victoria has tive brothers, a brother-in-law and an uncle imprisoned iu the mine by the deadly gas. There are 101 white men and 50 Chinese still in tho mine. Forty-seven of the whites are married men with families. Some of tho young wives with small child- ren are frantic with grief, standing around the mouth of the fatal shaft. Others are dazed with weary watching and tears, silently watching the cage ascending from the depths below, where their dear ones are. Dense volumes of smoke continue to ascend from this shaft. A large gang of men, principally sailors, are down this shaft fighting the tire with desperation. It is hoped the fire will soon be under control. One thousand five hundred feet more tire hose are being sent by special train from Victoria, which will be let down the cage shaft and salt water pumped down. Tlie bodies of William Campbell and Michael Lyons were recovered to-day horribly mangled. The latter was discovered 700 yards from the shaft. Other bodies were seen a little further in, but could not be reached. The men are working iu four hour shifts. All posible is being done. It would bo madness to penetrate the mine, as another explosion might occur. The mine extends for miles under the harbor, and looking at the peaceful water it is diffi- cult to imagine tho frightful catastrophe enacted a few hundred feet below. I'ho worst has yet to come, when the bodies are brought up. People do not yet realize the dreadful catastrophe that has blighted the city. The month of the shaft is eagerly watched hour ifter hour by an eager crowd of men, women and children, Chinese and Indians, all too territied to talk above whispers. Kelief is much needed and can not come too soon, as the destitution will be terrible. Many of the men leave large families, who have not the necessaries of life. The Ladles' Favorite. The newest fashiorf in ladies' hats will doubtless cause a flutter of pleasurable excitement among the fair sex.

After a lengthy trial tho WATCHING THE FISHEBIES. The Ciuia<llun Cruisers Find No Trouble In Looking; After the Americans. A Halifax despatch says ; The cruiser Triumph, on tho station occupied by tho Terror last summer, called into Barrington yesterday. She has visited within the past few days all the harbors and usual resorts of fishing craft between Liverpool and Bar- rington, and is now on her way to Pubnico, the western limit of her beat. Capt. Lor- way reports having boarded and haileid fifty American schooners sincu ho assumed his present command. All these vessels oamo in for the purpose of shelter or re- pairs. The crews always manifested the utmost willingness to comply with tho regu- lations, and in every instance so far had promptly carried out their instructions. The recent rough weather had caused an unusual number of American fishermen to seek harbors along the section of the coast, but all took the first opportunity i>t proceed- ing to sea and required no extra warning. .\11 intercourse between such vessels and the shore is carried on strictly by day and subject to the excellent rules adopted by Capt. Lorway, of having the boats row alongside the Triumph and report both go- ing and returning. No dissatisfaction was ever expressed at this plan, which prevents all possibility of violating the customs laws. Capt. Lorway had seen no disposi- tion on the part of fishermen to create any trouble. The station was a difficult one to oversee, on account of its great extent and numerous harbors. After the cruise to westward is finished tho Triumph will pro- ceed to prospect the eastern boundary of the patrol, in order to look after vessela in want of bait. THE KIUGWAY TRIAL. The I'ubllsher of tho Block roinphlet Assessed ill je.^OU BoinaKes. A last (Tuesday) night's London cable says : The trial of the suit of Sir John Brennon against Wm. Ridgway, the pub- lisher, for libel, in accusing tho plointiff of being a Fenian and a former ally of the Invincibles, was continued to-day. Mr. Ridgway then stated he was unable to call witnesses who could prove his charges, because the disclosing of tho name of the writer of tho Black Pamplilet, in which the charges were made, would endanger his life. Neither could he call in the de- tectives from whom he obtained tho infor- mation, to substantiate the allegations against Mr. Brennoii, because it would involve a disclosure of secrets of tho pro- fession. The plaintiff had been brought TELBGSAPHIC SUMMAEY. Archibald Cormell, a farmer of South Dorchester, on Tuesday assaulted his family and destroyed the furniture. Last evening he was arrested on a charge of in- sanity and lodged in Elgin juil. So far thirteen dead bodies of the victims of the British Columbia colliery explosion have been recovered, and six injured. All hope of rescuing alive tho entombed miners has been abandoned, and fears are entertained of the whole place being blown up by a second explosion. Constable Lipsit, of Bayham, arrested on Wednesday night a youiig man named 'Thomas Boughner on suspicion of being one of tho noted Bayham lambs. Five other members of the gang await trial in the jail in St. Thomas. Other arrests are ou the tapis. Tho London Fair Grounds Committee have decided on a main building 200 by 80 feet to be built of wood with stone founda- tion. Competitive designs will be called for. The first prize includes 4 per cent, on the outlay and the Buperintendem o of the building. Tho second prize is 8200. On Wednesday evening four suspicious characters, Frank Pearson, W. Arnold, G. Hill and G. Woods, were arrested for tres- pass on the Michigan Central property at St. Thomas and placed in the cells. In the night they picked tho lock and escoiied. No trace of them has since been seen. A young man iiomed Preston, residing at Frankforil, Out., who had lately returned from Michigan, where liu had been placing his brother in a lunatic asylum, cut his throat with a razor ou Tuesday, whilst laboring under a tit of insanity. Dr. Rook- well, who is iu atteiidonce, considers there is no hope of his recovery. ^^'hile Mr. S. Lindsay, a clerk in tho Almonte branch of the' Bank of Montreal, and Mr. Ernest StephuuHon, .son of Rev. F. Stephenson, wore canoeing at Almonte ou Wednesday afternoon their boat was cap- sized at Caldwell's saw mills. Mr. Stephenson was rescued by the men at the mills, but Mr. Lindsay wos drowned, his body being recovered about an hour after- wards. As already reported, 9120,000 is tho estimated loss to the steamship Barcelona and cargo through grounding in the Traverse at Montreal, caused by neglect on the part of tho marine authorities in not having the lightships and buoys placed in position. Captain Williams, of the steamship Oregon, the tirst ocean steamer into court as "a stalking-horse for others,V'" ^^riye, never had .inch difficulty in - - -- navigating the river for wont of signals who dared not apiieur. Counsel for Mr. Ridgway declared that the Black Pamphlet was written by a Fenian whoso destruction would be certain if his nome became known. Mr. Breiinon's evidence showed that he associated with and assisted the worst dynamiters in Paris. Counsel held this to have proved the caso against him. The Judge, in charging the jury, sai4 the d fendant had not proved justification. The jury awarded the plaintiff i;500 damages. To-Oay's Church News. Rev. L.

A Paris cable says : A must horrible murder has been committ;xl in tins city by a Russian at ono of the piiniiiK.i hotels. As in the case of Pranzini, tho woman who was the victim belonged to the frail sister- hood which abounds in Paris. Had she discovered some terrible seer-i of her lover '? Up to the present there seems no motive for the crime, sinco her lover was a man of immense wealth and \ ry high position, both in social and ollieial rank. Whatever be tho cause, she was iliacovered in his rooms at tho hotel, her ne< k showing indubitable traces that she had been strangled. Tho Lothario was arrested, but was released after a few hours' detention. The reason publicly given for noi proceed- ing against him was that there was not sufficient evidence to hold hiin. The real reason, however, was that immediately after his arrest one of tho high, si ofiiciate of tho Russian Embassy called on the Procurour-General, tho Jude li'lnhiructioa and the Prime Minister. At ilie present moment tho Russian alliance is of more value to Franco than the life nf a mero cocotte, hence the murderer has been allowed to go scot free ami lo leave for Italy, although bis name and rank and bis crime aro on everybody's lips, both in France and in Bnssia.
