The Calamity Caused by Firing a Shot Wheu Gas Was la the Mine. Many Mutilated Bodies Hecoverfd. One Hilled and One Injured in a Pennsylvania Mine. McAllister, I. T., Jan. 9. The re port telegraphed from here of a terrihle mine disaster is confirmed. It wa an explosion in shaft No. 5 of the Osage Coal and Mining company, at Krebs. Just before the day shift changed oft and came out of the mine for supper a puff of smoke was seen to escape from the mouth of the single shaft to tha mine, and immediately following this there was heard a terrific report, fal lowed by a rumbling as if of rolling thunder. Six men who had already been hoist r-d in the cage had just stepped on to the platform at the side of the shaft. The cage was blown through the roof of the tower and fifry teet into the air. A toname of flame shot up the shaft and above the ground fully 100 feet, fol lowed by a terrible report which was beard for miles around and shook all ihe neighboring country so violently that people in the surrounding mining towns four and five miles distant thought an earthquake was rocking the ground. The men at the top of the shaft at once sounded the alarm, and made prep arations to send down a rescuing party, but found that the mouth of the sh .ft had been completely closed up by the debris. Relief parties began at once to work on the debris, At the time of the explosion 350 men were in the shaft, most of whom wt re waiting for the men to take them out. and the foot of the shaft is one mass f dead bodies. Eighty-five men cams out by an old entry and forty-two were saved by the shaft, most of whom are more or burned and bruised, and half will pi ably die. At latest reports 40 dead bodies have been brought out. Nearly all were un recognizable, the remains were so mu tilated. From the facts now at hand it is be lieved that the killed will number fully 100 and the injured 115.. about one- f of whom will probably die from t ho effect of their iujuries. Many of the men, some say ne;; rly half employed in the mine, succeeded in effecting their escape by climbing up through the idr shaft. One' of the men who escaped in this way climbed fully 450 feet with a broken leg. Many of those who climbed to' the top were badly burned, in aome cases the flesh stripping from their hands as they grasped the ladder. There were many sad scenes witnessed as the bodies of the dead were brought to the surface. Wives and children gathered around, weeping and moaning; strong "men turned away to hide the moisture that gathered in their eyes in spite of their utmost efforts to keep it back. It will be fully a week before all the bodies of .the entoml ed ean be reached and brought to the sur face. I Mine Explosion in Pennsylvania. Shamokin, Pn. , Jan. 9.

Resisted Arrest, and He and His Pour Companions Were Kxecutedl Without Judge or Jury Two Brave Young Women. Mobile, Ala., Jan. 8. Dispatches from Womack Hill, Ala. , the scene of the recent Si ms outrages and hanging, state that while Neal Sims, the brother of Bob, two other men and Lanra and Beatrice Sims, the two daughters of Bob, were on their way from Womack hill, Koing in the direction of Leak, Miss. , the rendezvous of the rest of the gang, they were met by a posse search ing for Neal Sims, who is wanted for murder. It is said that Neal resisted arrest, and was. hanged and afterwards shot. The rest of the party attempted to interfere in Neal's behalf, and were strung up to an oak tree along the road side, the women being among the num ber. Their bodies were left hantdnK- When Bob Sims first began to preach his so called religion, in which he told his hearers that they had a right to do as they pleased, without regard to the laws of the land, his two daughters at tracted attention by going with him to all his meetings and conducting the singing, and sometimes the prayers. They were rather pretty girls, and had obtained some education at the public schools of the county. When the Sims religion assumed the form of a craze, and bis followers num bered a hundred or more, the two girls began the publication of a paper called The True Way. They purchased a small printing outfit, which was put up in one of the rooms of the log house where the family lived, and there the paper was issued, the girls doing all the me chanical work, as well as writing most of the matter that appeared in the sheet. The paper was a very small affair and was issued weekly, its circulation being confined to the followers of Sims. Last summer, when Bob Sims was driven out of Choctaw county by the citizens' committee, the two girls se verely denounced the men vno were concerned in what they termed a shame ful and cowardly conspiracy. They at once went to work to secure the arrest of the conspirators and to arrange for the return of their father to his home. Failing to secure any redress or encour agement from the local police, the two Srls went to Montgomery aud called on overnor Jones. They were neatly dressed and modest looking, and the evident sincerity with which they told the story of their al leged wrongs made a iavorable impres sion on Governor Jones, and he promised to investigate the matter and see that Bob Sims received justice. The action of the girls in boldly going to the governor and asking protection for their father surprised the citizens of Choctaw county, and fori awhile they ceased to interfere with the Simsites in any way. Soon afterward Bob Sims re turned to his home. When the attack was made on the house of John McMillan during Christ mas week and his whole family mur dered by the Simsites the daughters of the outlaw leader were in the party dressed in men s clothing, and each one carrying a heavy repeating rifle. They were in the thick of the fight and fired many of the shots that exterminated the McMillan family. They were in the hoHse with their father when the latter surrendered on Christmas day. They were placed under arrest at the time of the surrender, charged with complicity in the murder of the McMil lan family. They were not molested when Bob Sims and Cob Savage were taken from the posse and lynched on the way to the jail. FIFTY-SECOND CONGRESS.

The county board ol education ol Rowan has raised the apportionment of the school, fixing it at $1.60 per capita. This makes Rowan the ban ner county in North Carolina, as no other county has ever appropriated over $1.53 per capita.

In December, Henrietta Mclver, a negro woman of Duplin county, was convicted of the murder of her young child and sentenced to be hanged on the 27th of this month.

The Governor therefore commuted the death yesterday to im prisonment for the term named. State Chronicle.

JOHN HAY. I don't go much on religion, And I never ain't had no show; But I've got a middlin' tight grip, sir. On the handful o' things I know. I don't pan out on the prophets And free-will, and that sort of thing, But I b'lieve in God and the angels, Ever since one night last spring. I came into town with some turnips, And my little Gabe came along No four-year-old in the country Could beat him for pretty and strong Peart and chippier and sassy, Always ready to swear and fight And I'dlarnt him ter chaw terbacker, Jest to keep his milk-teeth white. The snow came down like a blanket As I passed by Taggart's store; I went in for a jug of molasses And left the team at the door, They scared at something and started I heard one little squall, And hell-to-split over thl prairie Went team, Little Breeches and all Hell-to-split over the prai; ie! I was almost froze with skeer; But we rousted up some torches, And searched for 'em far and near At last we struck horses and wagon, Snowed under a soft white mound, Upsot, dead beat, bm of little Gabe No hide nor hair was found. And here all hope soured on me Of my fellow-critter's aid I jest flopped down on my marrow bones, Crotch-deep in the snow and prayed. By this, the torches was played out, And me and Isrul Parr "Went off for some wood to a sheepfold That he said was somewhar thar. we found it at last, and a little shed where they shut up the iambs at nigbt. we looked in, and seen them huddled thar, So warm and sleepy and white; And thar sol Little Breeches and chirped. As peart as ever you see, "I want a chaw of terbacker, And that's what's the matter ot me.'' How did he get thar ? Angels. He could never have walked in the storm. They jest scooped dow n and toted him To whar it was safe and warm. And I think that saving a little child, And bringing him to his own, Is a durned sight better business Than loafing around The Throne. AS TO OUR NEIGHBORS. Til Hoys of The ire8 WJw Print Current News and Wit. Goldsboro Headlight. Last Friday morning at Clinton, in a difficulty between two colored men, Sam Wilson and Sam Matthews, the latter was shot through the head by Wilson and instantly killedT The murderer made his escape but was arrested soon after. A woman is said to be at the bottom of the trouble. While in the act of throwing cannon cracker on Christmas day Mr. Pomp Pearsall, a machinist of this city, had his right eye blown out and his right hand so badly lacerated by the ex plosion of the cracker that two of his fingers had to be -amputated. The dwelling of Mr. William W. Pearsall, about six miles from here, was burn ed Tuesday night, Dec. 22, and on the following morning the remains of himself, his wife Lubie and two boys named Albert and Ernest, were found in the ruins of the house burn ed to a cxisp. Weightman Thompson, white, a notorious character, has been arrested on suspicion ot Slaving com mitted the crime, and will be. tried for his life at the approaching term of Wayne Superior court. A colored man named Geo. Best who lives ne ir Dover, on the A. & N. C. R. R., poisoned his wife and two children -Monday by mixing "Rough on Rats " in their dinner. The wife has since died and the children are in a critical condition. Best has been jailed af New Berne. -The Giegory hotel building was sold at public auction Monday and "knocked down" to Hon. W. T. Faircloth. of this city, for the low price of $19,000. A preacher named Sam Privett of John ston county, was car-ied to the Smithfield jail Friday charged with stealing his neighbor's cotton and selling it. Scotland Neck Democrat. A lady in town said at the begin- ninp; of 1 hens to st year that she wanted ner lay 1 500 eggs during the year. A daily record was kept and at the end of the yea;- the number was found to be 1 503. How will this do for counting eggs before they are laid? The question of choosing, a suitable and profitable substitute for cotton is at present engaging: the attention of farmers everywhere. Mr. John T. Lawerence, a successful far mer of a life-long experience, sends us the following: "Thorough drainage, breaking, manuring and cultivating the soil. Plant a little cot ton and everything to eat for man and beast, and some of all to spare. A heap of littles make a big heap, and little money all the time will keep off big debts and mortgages and will happiness and content: nent in the family and country. Thus we shall have more to give to the poor and to God and his cause. Attend to your own business, stay at home and let others' business alone. Love your wife and children and your neighbor, and serve God faithfully 'in spirit and in truth.' These things with food, and raiment are the greatest gain-" Herman is up to many tricks; bit he will never take in as much, as Dr Bull's Cough Syrup in its high" raid on coughs and colds. We indorse all the proprietors have have raid relative to the merits of Sal vation Oil. It is nonpareil. V If faithfully used, Ayer's Sarsapariila will remove scrofula in whatever form it exists.
