TEE NORTE PLATTE SEMI-WEEKLY TRIBUNE: FRIDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 21, 1896. NOT A MINER ESCAPES EXPLOSION IN THE VULCAN MINE KILLS FIFTY-FIVE TO SIXTY.' . Most Disastrous Accident Ever Known In Newcastle Camp Explosion Supposed to a Have Originated Fro in Underground ' .Fires. Denyeb, Feb. 20. A special to the News frcm Newcastle, Colo., says: An explosion occurred at the Vulcan coal mine at 11-JE0 yesterday morning which was the incst disastrous ever known in the history of this camp. To day dozens of the homes in our little city are desolate because of some he loved one, father, husband, brother or son who left their homes with not a thought of danger or the awful death that so surely awaited ihem and are now lying lifeless at the bottom of the Vulcan slope. All business is practical ly suspended; everyone is dazed at tho . awf nlness of the sudden disaster. No warning was given the peaceful villag ers until a sudden report as from a hun dred cannons iesounded throughout tho valley, making the earth tremble. People rushed out of homes and places of business to sec what had happened and one look toward the Vulcan mine was sufficient, for a dense cloud of smoke issuing from the mouth of the slope met the eyes of the gazers and told the tale. A throng of spectators were soon at the scene of the disaster, a distance of nearly two miles from New castle. A glance was enough to dissi pate any hope for the lives of the en tombed men. The force of the explo sion had caused a cavern and the tunnel and air course was tilled with the fallen rocks, earth and timber. The number of victims cannot now be accurately stated, estimates running from 50 to 70. Those best infermed think the number is very likely be tween 55 and GO. The excitement at presont is so intense that efforts to se cure a complete list is useless. Both Fan Houses Wrecked. Both fan houses were wrecked and the slope and vicinity were so full of debris and the gas so bad that it was hard and dangerous work to begin the rescue. Nevertheless willing hands were soon at work and five men went down as far as possible to ascertain tho .condition of the slope and found it such that it will require much labor to re gain the miners. The gas was so bad that after the party had gotten 200 feet they were compelled to recede. The party consisted of Superintendent Her ripk of the Ynlcan and John Evans, itt:ii: t C" T7:n i t , i l Wiuijijjt it?tMi, cam niiii uuu xyoptui Templeman from the Consolidated niino. The last named mine shut down immediately upon hearing of the dis aster and sent their entire force of 150 men to help rescue the unfortunate ones. The construction of a temporary fan house was commenced at once and the work of pumping fresh air into the mine will soon begin. s It is hardly pas sible that any of the miners are still alive, but the starting of the fans will e made as soon as possible in the hope hat if any have survived they may be jjept aliye till help reaches them. Only Map to Get Oat. The only man "who get out of the ruiues at the time of tho explosion was Edward Walsh, who was near tho mouth of the tunnel and was blown out. His skull was fractured, arm broken, the face badly cut and burned and all the hair burned from his head. He was breathing when found, but expired shortly after without showing con sciousness. Two young miners, Tom Connelly and James Petric, met with narrow escapes. Their eyes becoming sore, they quit work in the mines and had just emerged from the tunnel when the explosion occurred. A Mi RAGLE HOW THEY ESCAPED. Out f 6Q Tinman Beings In tbeTroy Fire Only Three YTere Killed. Teoy? N. Y.. Feb. in. What seems almost a miracle in connection with flip disastrous conflagration in Troy3Ionday night is the fact made evident last nighf that the loss of life is no greater. The list of three killed and 15 wounded is verified, and iho miracle appears in the fact that those noted as missing have reported and that out of the G50 human beings, who crushed and struggled for life in the flame bound building, but three fatal endings came. The dramatic incident of yesterday occurred about noon, when, at 101 River street, a member of the firm of Stettheimer & Co. began calling the roll of the employes to find the missing. Pale faced women, nervous from the shock of the fire, stood in rows before the caller of the roll. As the call pro ceeded the answers came readily, and there were looks of joy upon the faces. Vheu the names of the dead women were reached, Mrs. Carrol, Mrs. Carr and 2Irs. Foley, there were sobs and tears. When the call was completed seyen absentees were noted and emis saries were sent out to find them. The pppreheusiou in th.e meantime growing into a settled belief that they were in the building. By o o'clock all had beeq located and police and firemen were alike in their wonder as to how the great mass of humanity -escaped. In surance men limit the loss on the build ing and contents at no more than 100,000. FOUR KILLED IN A MINE SHAFT. Skip Jumped the Track and Turned Over on the Men. Republic, Mich., Feb. 1G. A terrible accident occurred at 6 o'clock this morn ing in the Republic mine, while men were coming up in the skip from work ou,t of No. 1 shaft. The accident was caused by the skip jumping the track and as there was no signals to be given to the engineer to stop tho skip, it was pulled on until it caught and turned over on tho men.

Martin Julian came across the Rio Grande this morn ing for a conference with Stuart and Buck Connelly. Julian started out by claiming the forfeit, but was told he could get no forfeit. The articles of agreement provide that "The man fail ing to appear at the ringside" should forfeit. Maher was ready to appear at; the ringside, or would be as soon as the morning train got in from Las Cruces. In addition to that there was no ring side, so Mr. Julian was told. There was a ringside on Friday, the day set for the fight, and if he wanted to claim any forfeit for the failure of Maher to ap pear at the ringside, he should have done so on that day. Fitzsimmons dubbed Maher and his friends a pack of curs. Connelly lost his temper and returned the compliment with emphasis. A row was imminent, but order was finally restored. Julian then made a proposition that Connelly name arbitrators, and he (Julian) would accept their decision. This proposition was greeted by yells of approval by the crowd and Connelly accepted it. The committee named by Connelly agreed that the articles of agreement of December 6 were abrogated Friday and that under the circumstances Julian could not justly claim forfeit. The com mittee consisted of Dan Stuart, George Siler, Louis Houseman, William W. Naughtou, Tom O'Rourke and Hngh Fitzceralil. A compromise was reached aud the fight is now positively set for Friday, Connelly posting $1,000 to guarantee Maher's appearance in the ring on that dav. SITUATION IN FRANCE CRITICAL. Present Crisis May Lead to a Change of Government. Paris, Feb. 18. The political crisis which has ari?eu out of the demand of the senate for a vigorous and thorough inquiry into the Southern railway scan dals, that body having emphasized its attitude in the matter by twice refusing a vote of confidence in the Bourgeois ministry, is now practically a struggle between the chamber of deputies, which has supported the Radical ministry, and the senate, which seems bent upon over throwing it, even at the cost of most se rious disturbance. Bat", it is claimed, the resignation of the ministry will not alter matters to any great degree, as it appears to be no longer a question of confidence or of noucoufideuce in the cab inet. The chamber of deputies, it is as serted, has practically, by defying the senate, endangered the constitution, and the result is a condition of affairs about as threatening as any since the trouble some times of 1870-71. The newspapers are filled with excited articles and vivid reproductions of interviews with polit ical teacc-rs, aud many of them have ex pressed the opinion that a constitutional solution of the problem is impossible.

In 1775 tho brigantine Governor Clin ton left Philadelphia loaded with flour for Spanish Town, Jamaica. It was the loth of December, and Captain Ira Drake, her commander, expected to eat his New Year's dinner on the island. Everything was auspicious, and with a northwest wind he sailed down the river. He remarked long after that he felt un usually flurried by his parting with Mrs. Drake and his daughter Emma, on the wharf, but not being of an imaginative turn of mind the impressions passed, and he saw the tall poplars and red roofed farmhouses in the Neck fade away under tho winter sunset with pro fessional indifference. The Governor Clinton was only 430 tens, and she left port in company with 20 others, foreign bound, most of them square rigged. An the present time there aro only two ships owned in Philadel phia, and neither sails from here. Mrs. Drake and Emma walked up Second street to their home, which was in the house then a two story, afterward the tea store of the late eccentric John Lamond, who died a few mouths ago. To be a captain's wifo in those days was to hold social position nest below the magnates cf Society Hill, and Cap tain Drake was reported a prosperous man. "Mother," said the daughter, "do you feel any unusual anxiety in parting with father this vovage?" "No, my dear. Don't let such things get into your mind." "Yes, but the Aggy Slade has been cut over GO days, aud she's bound for Jamaica tea Poor Mrs. Folsom is just wild about her husband. Howl do wish father would give up the sea and stay ashore 1" Shipmasters' wives had to have stout hearts in tbosodays; there were perils on the sea then that are unknown now. A West India voyage meant poor charts, dodging among tho reefs and keys of tho Bahama banks, northers, hurricanes and more deadly assaults from tho desperate ruffians that infested the coast of Cuba and were secretly up held by the Spanish authorities, who shared their plunder, and at this time both Tardy and the La Fittes were known to be cruising in the gulf. Christmas passedt and as New Year's came on a feeling of uneasiness and dread entered into the Drake household. Emma had an additional source of anx iety. Sam Spain, although only 24, was first officer of the Governor Clinton and a splendid specimen of the American sailor, and before this voyage he and Emma had exchanged vows. And so poor Emma fretted and made her moth er anxious. New Year's day, 179G, was cold, blustering and sleety, and after attend ance at early mass at St Joseph's both women sat down to breakfast. "For the Lord's sake, Emma, don't tell mo anything about your dreams. You make me nervous. Your father and the brig arc all right, and whey tho Quickstep comes in we'll hear frpin Spanish Town. She sailfroin there to day." "But, moth,er, there is something in dreams, and I never had such dreadful ones before, and you know good God, What is that?" And the girl's voice arose to a scream. "Oh, mother! On your hand, cu your hand 1" The mother looked and grew pale as death. There on her plump, white hand was a drop of ruddy blood. She mur mured, "Maybe I pricked myself with the fork." And with a shudder she wiped away the dread token. But thero was no wound, the skin being unbroken. "There, there, it has come again. Oh, mother, let's pray! My dear father and Sam aro in peril. I know it. I feel it." And they knelt and with heads bowed down prayed to him who rules the winds and tempests to spare their loved ones on the sea. The Governor Clinton was an old tub and did her best when sho reeled off eight knots on a bowline, but this time, under a fair northeast wind, she was cutting a feather through the waves of tho Bahama bauks pn tho i 9th of De cernber. Here her good luck ended. A norther set in, driving them 200 miles off their course, and then head winds blew for a week! so that it was the last day in the year before they came in sight of the Cuban coast, and not over ten miles off Cape St. Antoiue the wind failed, and there came one of those dead calms peculiar to these latitudes. The sails hung without a shiver, and tho pennant was as straight down as a yard of pump water. But this was not the worst. Captain Drake knew that he was in the track of the pirates and was prac tically helpless to keep away from them, and at this moment he was doubtless signaled off shore to some of their ves sels. Everything depended on keeping a stout heart His six 24 pound carronades were loaded with grape and kentledge, the arm chest was opened, cutlasses and pis tols were served to the crew, muskets were loaded, and tho cook filled his cop pers with hot water ready to repel board ers. All hands kept watch that night, and in the morning Mate Spain went aloft with a glass. Ho at once hailed the deck. "There is a topsail schooner lyiDg behiu-1 that point of land off the starboard quarter. I can't make out any sail on her. " breakfast There's trouble ahead. But there are 23 of us, all good men, and we ought to make a tidy fight for our lives." A strict watch was kqpt at the mast head, and at 10 o'clock a hail came: "There's a boat full of men putting off shore. It is a yawl with a tug. She's coming fast under sweeps. " Tho ensign was seized union down to attract some passing vessel, and all waited and watched. There were not less thtm 40 into in tho ray. the boat, the captain cried, "Fire!" But as usual two of the carronades missed fire, the other scattered ten feet wids of the boat, and next it swept under the bow, tho leader a white man, springing into the chains, followed by a gang of mulattoes, negroes and Spaniards, all big men. Their captain's head just came above the bow, when he was run through the neck by a pike and dropped over board, but his men managed to get on the bowsprit and come aboard. Two of the pirates mounted the channels and tumbled into the waist. The cook, a ne gro giant weighing 300 pounds, rushed at them with a cutlass, beat down their guard and hewed them down. A third had grasped the swifter to help him up, when his arm was cut clean off at the shoulder by the negro. A splash in the water told the rest In the bow the defenders had done good work, but Captain Drake was stretched on the bits covered with blood. The last pirate had run out on the jib boom and fired his pistol just as a mus ket ball took his life, but he had done his work, for poor Spain got bis bullet in the head and never spoke after. They were beaten, audnnder a parting volley the ruffians sprang to their sweeps and with the loss of half their crew made for land. Suddenly the mainsail gave a flop. No orders were needed. The topsail hal yards were manned. " Dp with the fly ing jib, trim sheets, round in starboard braces!" was the cry, and the little brig began to surge through the water. "See, see! The schooner's making saiL Up gq her gaff and foresail. The fight's not over, men ! She'll cut us to pieces with her long Tom!" Just then came the sound of a heavy gun, and so intent were the crew watching the pi rate vessel that they had not seen, half a mile away, a British corvet piling on Eail up to royals. She was a flier, too, and inside of five minutes swept down on the brig, hailed and was told what had occurred. The pirate craf c was intent only on saving her men in the yawl, but it was too late. The corvet ran her down and at 100 yards gave tho marauders a shower of grape that tore the boat and crew into splinters. The schooner made off, followed by the nian-o'-war, and both disappeared in the southern board. Tho second mate took command of the brig. Her captain had a broken thigh and a shot through his body, while the mate and four of the crew lay dead. The breeze kept steady, and on the 4th of January they came to anchor in Span ish Town harbor. Captain Drake lived to get well and quit the sea. But before the Christ Church chimes rang for an other Christmas poor Emma Drake had followed her lover to a better laud. Philadelphia Times. Victor Hugo and Politics. Victor Hugo, in spito of everything that has been said to the contrary, w3 distinctly not a republican at the outset of his career, and it is niore than ques tionable whether he would have ever become the blatant one he did if Louis Philippe and Louis Napoleon had con sented to take him at his own valuation as a statesman. Berauger, who was a republican pure and simple, notwith standing his supposed share in tho zs tablishment of Louis Philippe on the French throne, summed up Victor Hugo's republicanism in one line. Gae day, shortly after the February revolu tion which overtopped that throne as it would seem forever an acquaintance of Beranger met him coming out of the Palais Bourbon. "I shall feel obliged, " the poet said, "if you will see me horne for I do not feel at all well. These vio lent scenes inside there aro not to my taste." This, pointing to the erstwhile resi dence of tho illegitimate daughter of Louis XJV by Mme. de Moutespau, bat ter known as the widow of that mis chievous dwarf Louis, third duke do Bourbon-Conde, the small minded and small bodied sou of the great Conde. "I am not at all well," he repeated with a wistful smile. "I have been accused of having held tho plank over which Louis Philippe went to the Tuileries. I wish I could be the bridge across the channel on which he would return now. Cer tainly, I would have liked a republic, but not one such as we are having in there. " And his hand pointed once more to the home of the constituent assembly. "You ought to be pleased," remarked his interlocutor. "Victor Hugo is in the same regiment with you." "Victor Hugo is not in the regiment ; he is in the band." Contemporary Beview. Churchill's Push. When Lord Randolph Churchill was at Oxford, he was constantly in conflict with his dean at Merton on the subject Cf compulsory chapels, and on one ocea iou he was sent for to listen to a grand remonstrance. It was a chilly day, and the dean was standing with his back to the fire when Lord Randolph entered. After about ten minutes another delin quent was ushered in, aud found Lord Randolph standing with his back to the fire and his coattails comfortably up raised, while the unfortunate dean was arguing away out in the cold, near the door.

The two men sat by the fixe in the grate, and the ex-premier talked of his own polit ical career. At last he ceased talking, and gazing abstractedly into the burn ing coals muttered, "Dreams!

Apparently it incf cated that he who bad for long, labori ous years devoted himself to his country found in that fact no solid satisfaction. Is that the usual fate of retired states men? Tho incident is quoted by Mr. Tucker man as a thought provoking addition to his account of an interview with Wil liam H. Seward, published in "Person al Recollections of Notable People." While Mr. Seward, in. 1S72, was suf fering from paralysis at his home in Au burn, N. Y., Mr. Tuckerman went on j of his way to pay his respects to the vet eran statesman. He found him unable to use his anus and legs, but with his mental faculties unimpaired. For the two days the guest enjoyed the states man's hospitality he was entertained with reminiscences and anecdotes. When he was departing, Mr. Seward took him asido and said: "Now tell me what I can do for you. If I possess any influence with the present administra tion, I am at your service." Mr. Tuckerman replied that the only service ho could do for him was to get better health at his earliest convenience, and to let tho world hear from him oc casionally. "Do you mean to say," asked Mr. Seward, "thai you camo out of your way to visit a broken down old man like me without a single interested motivo beyond that of seeing me:" He noticed that his guest was annoyed by the implication, and added, with emotion, "I do not have many such vis itors nowadays." Youth's Companion. The Vajjuo Laureate. It would bo pleasant to think cf Spen ser as poet laureate to Queen Elizabeth, and there aro those who do so, but strict criticism cannot allow the claim. It is true that Spenser became a courtier and flattered the queen in the extraordinari ly exaggerated style of tho time, and that when he dedicated the first three books of the "Faerie Qneene" to Eliza beth she gave him a pension of 50 a year. It is true also that Spenser speaks of himself as the wearer of the laurel leaf. In one of the sonnets to the lady who was to become his wife he Eays; The laurel leaf, which yon this day do wear. Gives me Rreat hope of your relenting mind, For, since it is the bause which I do bear. You, bearing k, dos-m to me iaclin'd. But this is nothing more than the usual formal reference to the laurel as the poet's special tree. No such office as that of poet laureate, as it is now under stood, existed in Elizabeth's time, and few peers who have flattered a sovereign have had such bitter experience of tho fickleness and cruelty of a conrt as Spenser. Like some of his more formal ly appointed successors, he was indeed buried in Westminster abbey. Yes, but hehaddied.of starvation. Temple Bar. Dr. A. P.
