Sixty Victims of the Spring Hill
Mine Disaster Inferred.
AN AGONIZED YOUNG BRIDE.
Married Only Tlm-ee ‘Months, and Her
Husband, with His Father and Broth-
er, Killed in the Explosion—One
Big Grave fonthe Unidentified.
SPRING HILL JUNCTION, N. 8., Feb. 26.—
Sixty of the bodies of the Victims of the
Spring Hill colliery disaster were buried
yesterday. A particularly touching case
was that of Malcolm Neera. He returned
from Boston only a. month ago with his
young bride of three months, a. Boston
girl. He went to work in the mine with
his father and brother, and all were killed.
The young widow frantically pleaded with
the searchiiig party to find the body of her
husband. In response they made special
exertions and recovered the remains.
A Dozen at a Time.
The bodies were all taken to the Method—
ist church, where brief services were held
over a dozen, at a time, and thence the
coffins were carried in an open sleigh to
the quiet little cemetery at the foot of the
hills, a mile distant. In some cases the
bodies were followed by the surviving
members of the village band playing the
“Dead March.”
From 10 o’clock until 4 the road was
crowded with the procession. The ground
was frozen so solid that the work of dig—
ging graves was exceedingly difficult.
Early in the morning a. little army was set
at work, and before evening 105 graves had -
been dug and half of them filled in again.
The briefest possible form of service would
be held and a. bod ‘ interred, while men
four feet away never ceased work in com-
pletii g another trench.
The Unidentified All In One-Grave.
For u'nidentified bodies a. grave was dug
sixteen feet square, and the corpses were
laid in it side by side. There are still be-
tween forty and fifty bodies to be interred.
A dozen yet remain in the pit.
An inquest has been begun and the fact
developed that the section of the mine in
which the explosion occurred was exceed-
ingly dusty, with about 1 per cent. of gas.
There was so much powdered dust in the
levels and working places that orders were
given that no blasts should be fired until
after the place had been watered. Two
men were sent in that day to do the water-
ing. Whether they did it or not will never
be known.
The Theory of the Disaster.
The theory generally accepted is that a
shot was fired and the flame ignited the
dry dust. This exploded, gathering force.
as it was swept through the streets of the
underground city, and all the men in the
immediate locality were killed by the ex—
plosion and burned, while the afterdamp
was driven all through the mine and
killed the other men, working half a mile
distant.
Forty-seven bodies were found in a. sec-
tion that was not in the least injured by
the explosidn. .
At this point the inquest adjourned un-
til March 10. g,
The injured are all doing Well, and all
will recover. Those suffering from burns
are out of danger, while those who were
taken out unconscious from the effects 01"
the after damp are able to be around. The
deaths from the explosion new number
121. ‘
To Aid the Sufferers.
HALIFAX, N. S, Feb. 26.—Conimittees
have been appointed to solicit subscrip-
tions for the Spring Hill sufferers. The
governor general has contributed $500.
Hill Won’t Recognize Bulkeley.
ALBANY, Feb. 20.—Governor Hill has re»
fused to honor a acquisition for a burglar
named Fardon which was issued and sent
here by Governor Bulkeley, of Connecticut.
Governor Hill said: “I cannot grant OI
recognize the request as being in any way
official. Governor Morris has been duly
elected by the people of Connecticut, and
has even been recognized as governor by
the senate. If the people of. Connecticut
want the body of Fardon they must get it
through Governor Morris.” ‘ The case is
one without a precedent.
A l'llucli Needed Revision.
HARRISBURG, Pa.., Feb. 26. — Governor
Pattison has approved the Concurrent res—
olution authorizing the appointment of a
commission to revise the mining laws of
the bituminous and semi-bituminous coal

A SENATORIAL SENSATION.
The Illinois Farmers’ Delegation Threat-
ened with Personal Violence.
SPRINGFIELD, 1115., .Feb. 26,—The sensa-
tion in the senatorial situation is the an-
nouncement that the three F. M. B. A.
representatives have been anonymously
threatened with personal violence unless
they force the contest to a. close.
Cockrell said last night that threats came
from two sources, and they are convinced
that it is an attempt to bulldoze them into
a hasty adandoument of party principles.
He and his colleagues defy the conspir-
ators, and assert that they may threaten
or kill them. but they cannot force them
into voting against their will.
The F. M. B. A. representatives are very
indignant over these developments, and it
is quite possible it may result in indefi-
nitely prolonging the contest.
\Villiamus a Military Critic.
PARIS, Feb. 26.—-Aii interesting contri—
bution to military criticism has just been
made in the shape of a comparison by the
Emperor \Villiam of the abilities of N upo—
leon I and Hannibal. It is contained in' a.
letter from the kaiser to the French
strategist, Gen. Boisdefl'er, and is the out-
growth of a conversation on the same
subject between the author and the re-
cipient during the last Russian ma-
neuvers. A commentary upon Hanni-
bal’s tactics at Zaiiia and in other battles
is included in the communication. Gen.
Boisdeifer has frequently expressed his
high opinion of the Emperor lVilliam’s
military ability and originality. He does
not think the emperoris hostile to France.
One of the remarks made by the emperor
to Gen. Boisdefier during the maneuvers
was that the French army was the finest
in Europe.
The ‘Var in Egypt.
LONDON, Feb. fill—The latest advices
from Suakim are to the effect that the
Anglo-Egyptian force is for the present
resting at Tokar, where the battery of ar‘
tillery is stationed, while the squadron of
cavalry is scouring the’country around in
search of any remnants of the enemy.
Gen. Grenfell has arrived from Cairo, to
be near the scene of operation. Among
the captives rescued at Tokar were three
Egyptian women, who were taken by the
Malidi’s forces at the time of the capture
of Khartoum. They had ever since been
in the household of Osman Digma. Hear-
ing of the Egyptian advance, they con—
cealed them selves when the demises
abandoned ’l‘okar. A large number of
dervises are pushing forward from Kas-
sala to assist Osman Digma.

LONDON, Feb. Elli—Hon. Cecil Rhodes,
