A BID GOAL ENE ON FIRE SERIOUS DISASTER AT SPRINGHILL, NOVA SCOTIA. A Bilging Ftfirinle0 RcIow filromad—Forlon unto Ilia Miners- the Fire Paused by an iliVerirmail eft Strant,Pioe- Hundreds of Alen May be out of Ent- ploymeot for Months. A despatch from Halifax says :—A serious fire started on Friday in the east slope of the Springhill mine, and threatens its destruction. IVhile the fire has not got a foothold in the -leest slope, it is raging so fiercely alongside of it that it is feared it will also suf- fer seriously from the conflagration. It is considered that it will be a hard fight to save it, but the miners, are working desperately to keep the flames from spreading further. The other slope, the north one, is not in immediate danger. THE MINERS' ESCAPE. The fire originated in an 8C0-feot lev- el, and was caused by the pipe -way car- rying steam ,into the mines to operate tha machinery becoming overheated, A large gang of men were at work at the time. At the first indication of danger they made a rush to escape, and all reached the surface safely. The flames spread quickly to the 1,300 -foot level, which it ha e now converted into a raging furnaee. Flames are issuing from every opening to the slope. Two cupolas 'were burnad down, and a bank - head had to be torn away. . Efforts were made to prevent air from enter- ing the mine, every opening 'being closed,,but so far this has been Ineffect- ual in staying the work of the fire. The men were placing themselves in kreat danger whille performing this work, and the peril finally became so great that they had to be called away. AN EXPLOSION FEARED. It was feared an explosion would °c- ella'. SO far, however, there has been none, but a most disaetreus one may occur st any moment. It is stated that the east slope will be unworkable for penis time, and may even have to be abandoned. At times flaiiies shoot one hundred feet into tire air from the mem opening to the mine. The die - aster will be a terrible one to Spring- hill, a town of 6,000 people, supported wholly by the men working in the mines, which are owned by the Cora- berland Coal and Railway Company. Manager Cowan is at present in Mont- real. The total loss from the fire cannot be estinaateci at present, bat it will reach a very high figure. The Springhill minehave been the scene of several calamities, the mast serious being that of February, 1891, when nearly 120 men and boys were killed by an 'explosion, The escape of all th er men weekingin the mine when the present' fire broke out is re- markable. Had an explosion followed immediately the lose of life would have been great,. Measures will be taken at ones fee the, relief of the families whose bread-rnakets have been thrrown out of work. Some hun- dreds 'may be deprived of employ- ment for montlx. EXPRESSING MS CHOICE New boarder—Not more than a dozen in the dieh and 'well seasoned. Landlady—How do you like your oys- ters, Piplyt .

Twenty People Killed and Several Iniltr- ed -The Work of Robbers -The Cars Burned. A &vetch. from Bieudaghara, Ala., says1—The most horrible train -wreck in the south since the famous one at States- ville, S. C., in 1891, occurred at an early hour on Saturday morribeg near Ithis city, evben a passenger train crashed through a trustle to a river 110 feet below. It is known thet twenty hives were Jost, an(L a more complete search of the wreck raay reveal more. It is admost certain that the wreek was caused for the purpose of robbery. Of those on the train nine escaped. death, but several of these will die of serious injuries. None of them can give a cor- rect account of bow the accident occar- red. The train was fa local on the Birnainghara Mineral, a branch of the Louisville and Nashville system. It left Berraingliam at 6.30 a.m. to make the daily circuit ot tlte mining towne in that section of the country, and most of the persons on board. were miners and their families taking advantage of the excursion tioltere on sale for the holidays. For a portion of the way the line uses the traoke of the Southern Railway Compa.ny, and it was on the 27th Mile me this read front Birming- ham that the aceident occurred. Cross - erg the Cohabit River there is an iron trestle surmounted by woodwork, 110 feet above the water, which at this stage is only four feet deep. The bridge is only four years old, and was always considered PERFECTLY SAFE. It is SOO feet long, the rat:in span being 110 feet in length. This, with the span next beyond, went into the river with the train. The engine fell at right angles to the line of the bridge, with the cars piled on top ana around it. Engineer Wh1te was found with bis charred hand still grasping the throb - tis, To add to the horror of the event. tee flames from tbe stoves in the coacees ignited the wreckage, and, the entire mess was burned to the edge of the water. The only one of the train crew that e,seaped with his life from the wreck was t he colored :fireman, Sam Speucer. He jumped from the engine while it was in mid-air, and, ratline into the river, escaned almost by Intraele with only a broken arm. Wild with fright, he fled for the near- est station to give the atarm, but ere he reached it a termer paesing saw the condition of affairs and went. to a telegraph station with his horse at full spped. Telegrams were sent to Bir- mingham, and a relief train wont to tee scene, but hefore it reached there the flames had done their work, and the destruetion was complete. ed'e,11T 2n8t.tmber of kided ie now quot- A rail had been renaoved from the track, and when the engine struck thie 360 feet of the briege gave way and went down with the train. The bridge was a ponderous WOODEN STRUCTURE aeith an iron span of 200 feet in the centre,' 'and- the bsg'inning of the Iran work train ,yreeWrs had pulled the spikes and res'Z tame of the rai:s. When the engnotegth covered this, as was evident from thh position of his throttle and reverse lever, he immediately attempted to shop, but was running at such a rate of speed as to carry down the bridge. Every evidence showed that tram - wreckers had been at work. Aa soon as the news was received both the Lou isvi' le & Nashville and Soul hern Raieway sent out relief trains loaded with physicians and others, and every- thing possible was due for those who had been fortuna.th enough to get out of the reach of the flames, which quick- ly consumed all the coaches and a part of the bridge. Many of the dead were charred completely beyonl recogni- tion. The exact number who perished will never be known, but it is believed it will reach 35.. DIED FROM Hput WOUNDS. lliss AMMO alin's Death at the Montreal General Rogattat A delpatch. from Mentreal says:— Miss Annie Sims died at the Montreal hospital early on Wednesday morning. On Sunday morning, the 60 Dec., Hom- er Howells arrived, hi the city from Hertford, Conn., and after an interview with Mise Sims in her father's resi- dence, at 234 St. Martin street, pulled a revolver from Lis pocket, shot twice at Mies Sims, and then turned the wea- pon to his own head and shot himself. Howells died the same morning, and Miss Sims lingered until Wednesday morniese One of the bullets. which were fired at Miss Sims entered her skull by the left eye, and. travelled. around to the back of her right ear. After remaining for several days in a eemiacenscious state, Miss Sims gradu- ally recovered, and on Friday last was hoped to be out of danger. On Sat- urday night she suddenly becerae seri- ously ill, and on Sunday an operation to remove the bullet was perfornaed. Miss Sims milled, but Wed.nesday had a relapse, and. slowly sank. She was almost unceascions up to the time of her death, which teak place at twenty minutes to four in tee morning.

Out Wound ed Offieerg and Men on a Battlefield. Germany has been training dogs to assist the ambulance corps in time of war, and the result has been highly satisfactory, to the men interested. The St. Bernard, by virtue of its great size aud.saperior intelligence and gen- tleness, has come to be, regarded es the modern- war dog. Though the blood- hound is good, it is less trustworthy and not so gentle as the St. l3ernard. The training a war dog receives is thorough and conaprebeneive. It, 12 taught that, the officer is ,to be sought out first by the simple process of sew- ing anise seeds in every officer's coat. The dog is supposed to travel over the dead and wou.nded on a field of battle and seek Out the fallen officer, and. picking up a glove, cap, or other part of eis dress, hurry with it to the am- bulance surgeon, and then lead the sue - goon to the man. Not only that, but the living are distinguished from the dea,d by the dogs, so that no time may be lost. Certain dogs are used to dis- cover the officers, while others are used for all alike. The dogs are further taught to distinguish the enemy from friends. Tee dogs bear the neerches better than the men. They serve admirably as sentries. They carry burdens large in preportion to .their size. They may be Welled to wagons and driven like horses. In propoetion to its val- ue, the dog eats. very litle. STRANGE BURIAL CUSTOM. The Greenlanders know a thing or two. In the belief tha,t "a dog can find, its way anywhere" they bury a living dog in the same grave with a dead child. The c.anine is supposed to be used by the child as a guide in the other 'world. Imo Australians pull out the corpee's finger nails, artd then ti tlae heeds to prevent its digging its way out of the grave to engage in the vampire business.
