A Terrible Kxplosiun Choking Vp The Mouth of The Shaft Bo That There Was Mo Encape For the Miners Teu Bodies Recov ered. McAi.i.i!vn:n, I. T Fan. 8. Report has reached here from Shaft No. 5, of the Osage Coal and Mining company at Krcfs that a terrible explosion occurred there at 5 o'clock last evening, from the effects of which two hundred lives were probably lost. It was just beforcthc day shiftchniigcd off and came out of the mine for supper when a puff of smoke was seen to escape from the month of the single she;! of the mine, and immediately following this there was heard a terrible report, fol lowed by a rumbling as if of the rolling of thunder. Men at the top of the shaft at once sounded nn alarm and made prepara tions to send down a rescuing party, but they found that the mouth of the shaft had been completely closed up the debris. When the messenger who brought this news left nothing had been done toward getting the men out except to organize n relief party, which was to begin work at nine on the debris. There arc between ISO and 2(10 men entombed in the mine, ind it is believed that every one will lose his life, for the shaft is a single one with no means lor the air to get to the miners. Kansas City, Mo , Jan. 8. Confirma tion has been received of thcexplosion nt Krebs, Indian Territory, near McAllis ter, last night. Over 200 miners were killed and a large number fatally injured. Ten budics have already been taken out of the shaft. A dispatch to the Star this afternoon savs: At the lime of the explosion 350 men were in the shatt, most of whom were waiting lor the cage to take them out. Consequently the foot of the shaft is one mass of dead bodies. Iiiijhty-fivc men came out by the old entry and forty-two were saved by the shaft, most of whom are more or less burned and bruised, and half will probably ilic. Thisleavcsabout 23!1 men yet in the mine, and in all prob ability 200 arc dead. t 7:10 a. m. today the shaft was cleared and ten dead men were brought out, and only one man could be recog nized, the remains being so mutilated One man escaped from the shaft, 500 feet deep, by working Iroin bracket to bracket, and was saved. Thousands of anxious wivesand moth ers are eagerly watching each cage as it comes to the surface, hoping to see their loved ones, only to turn away disap pointed. The explosion was caused by lirmg a shot of powder when the gas was in the mine. ANARCHIST ABBKRTED, The Loudon Police Tblnlt They Have Found a cousplrocy. London, Jan. 3.

BLAINE'S CONItlTION. ItlMOood Physically, so His Doc tor Says. Prom the New Yolk World. l)r. Hyatt, Mr. Blaine's family physi cian, said to the World correspondent : The facts regarding the indisposition i)f Mr. Blaine are quite simple. Mr. Illninc has been a remarkably will man for sonic time. Until w ithin a few days he has taken a great deal of outdoor exercise, walking about Washington and going out in thecountry. The inclement weather in the last teu days has cut him oft from this recreation and the result is that he has made himself liable to an ittack such as occurred Wednesday morning. His appetite has been excel lent and he ate a hearty breakfast before going to the Department. If he had had an oppertunity to take li is usual exercise this would doubtless not have affected him. He went to the Department and plunged actively into the business of the day. His stomach was overloaded and the result was only what might have been expected." Were there any symptoms of apo plexy?" ' Not the faintest, replied the doctor. "There iwns nothing in Mr. Blaine's condition showing that he suffered from any other ailment than the indigestion and nausea which I have described. It is possible that a ina i disposed to apo plexy might bring on an attack through a violent fit of vomiting, but there was no connection in the present case be tween the condition of the stomach and an apoplectic state. ' The rapidity with which Mr. Blaine recovered from the at tack shows that he is in a good physical condition and that had he been more cautious in regard to hiscnting, he would have had no trouble whatever.

Nkw Havkn, Jan. 8. lix-Prcsident Noah Porter, of Vale, is gradually sink ing and his death is thought ,to be near. Noah Porter was born in Farmington, Conn., Dec. 1 1-, 1811, and'graduatcd at Vale college in 1831. He was pastor of Congregational churches iuNewMilford, Conn., and Springfield, Mass., from 1836 until 184C. In 1871 he succeeded Theodore D.)

ABOUT THE IIONDS. A Meeting: of the Joint Hoards Yesterday Afternoon. A special meeting of the joint board of aldermen and advisors was held in the mayor's office yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock. All members of the board were present except Alderman McDowell and Advisor Summcy. The meeting was called for the purpose of considering an ordinance concerning the city's improvement bonds. The con tractors for the paving, through their attorney, J. S. Adams, propose to go ahead with their work as soon as the board will authorize the deposit in the National Bank of Asheville of enough ol the bonds to cover the amount of their contracts, the money to be paid them when the bonds are sold at par. Alderman starnes introduced a motion that a committee be appointed to whom he contaretors should submit n contract o that effect, and the motion carried. As the committee, Aldermen Brevard and Starnes, and Advisors Cummings and hint wereappomted. This committee appointed 3 o'clock this afternoon as the hour for having the contract submitted. They will con sider it fully and report to a meeting ot the joint board on Monday allernoon next at t o'clock. A PIRATE. A Slick Scheme to Swindle the Wood Iluyer. Again the wood pirate is abroad. He fixes" his loads on the lot next to Zion hurch on College street. His wood is partly in the regulation cord lengths and then soni'.' in lengths six feet shorter, and when his victim pays for what he supposes an honest load one-third is of the shorter lengths. A block of wood six or eight inches thick is laid across the wagon between the front standards, and tlie cord lengths are piled in. The pirate gets in his fine work now at the rear. As the load is built up lie lays tne snort pieces into the spaces between each pair of long sticks, and when his job is fin- shed the rear end (the point ol view lor most buyers) is a temptation. The bar gain hunter snaps up what seems to ben buslin big load ot wood, and the pirate ockets his silver and baits lor another sucker. AFFAIRS OF COSSEQUEXCIi. HOMK.

Bipthcria in a violently epidemic form exists in Pennsylvania in the section sur rounding Reading. The spread of the disease is attributed to the fact that the funerals arc public. Many deaths have occurred, it being estimated that no less than fifty persons between the ages of ffty and ninety years have died in the last three weeks. The war in Pittsburgh on Sunday newspapers, which has been threatened by the Law and Urder society, has been inaugurated. Charges were made agninst thirty-five employes of Sunday newspa pers Wednesday lor engaging in wordly employment on Sunday. Informations nre made under a law enacted one hun dred years ago. The editorial staffs have not been proceeded against. FOKUICN. The Khedive of Ugypt died Thursday evening ot mtlucuza. Pastors of n number of Gerninu colo nics in Russia have appealed to the Ger man consulate in St Petersburg for as sistance Jto prevent thousands of Ger mans Iroin starving. It is represented that fanatic mobs accuse the Germans of being responsible through simulation in land f ir the failure ot the crops, and that several ol them had been killed. Advices from St. Petersburg kav that the czar is either willfully blind to the situation of affairs in his country, or that the true condition ot the famishing peasants is kept from him. At n recent review he severely rebuked officers who bad raised a relief fund, by saying the country could take care ot the unlortu nntc ones. Immense Bums of money have been forwarded from the outside, but little reaches the spot. Defalcations in the funds amounting to 120,000 roubles have been discovered.
