At" nine o'clock this morning, shortly after day, a force numbering sixty seven men 4had gone. on duty at the Cumnock coal mines, six miles west of here, a terrible gas or fire damp explosion occurred with fatal effect. Upon hearing the report the peo ple of the village and relatives of the entombed miners hastened to the scene, but for some time they were unable to gain any tidings from be low. After pumping fresh air into the shafts for some time several min ers were prevailed upon to venture down and investigate. They found and brought out twenty-five men from stokes numbers 2 and 3. Five or six of them were badly wounded and some of them will probably die, others were slightly wounded. A mule and two men were killed in stoke number 2. After considerable delay the search ing party entered slope number 1, where they were greeted by a most horrible and ghastly sight. Dead men fearfully mutilated were found Some of them were partly covered up with -pieces of coal, timber and other debris. The searching party 'came up and reported what they had found. . At four o'clock ten or twelve miners went down to bring up the dead bodies, but at last accounts none of the dead men had been rescued. It is believed that forty-three men were killed. Their names are not obtainable at this writing. Several of them were negroes and foreigners and the rest natives of North Caro lina. Several had families living at Cumnock. Eight of the dead miners were from Pennsylvania ancf expected to return to that State tomorrow to visit relatives. A quantity of dynamite was in the mine and exploded, wrecking coal cars and splitting massive pieces of timber into kindling wood. Mothers, wives and sisters were around the mines day, weeping r ii d wringing tn ir hands with grief, expecting every minute to see tlie lifeless form of some loved one ought up. xc cement runs high. Stovinson's Ur.pubiished Novsl. "St. Ives," the novel left substan tially complete, and unpublished by Robert Louis Stevenson at his death, is discribed as purely a romance of adventure. It i3 the story o a French prisoner captured in the Pen insular wars, who is shut up in Edinburgh Castle; there he falls in love with a Scotch girl who, with her aunt, frequently visits the pris oners. There is early in the story a duel under extraordinary circum stauces, between St. Ives and a fellow-prisoner; after various episodes a dangerous plan of escape is decided upon, and the daring St. Ives finally becomes a free man. The perils that heimdergoes while in hiding about Edinburgh, hi3 adventures on the Great North Road with starngers robbers, his final escape across the border into England, his subsequent return to Edinburgh, and many oth er incidents of this splendidly con cieved story are told in the spirited, vivacious and wonder style of which Stevenson was a master. Mr. Sidney Colvin himself an author and critic of raie ability and a master of style says of this novel that "as a tale of adventure, manners, and the road, which is all it was meant to be, it will be found a very spirited and entertaining piece." From S. S. McClure, Limited, 30 Lafayette Place, New York. The Latest in Skirts. In the matter of skirts there is very little change, except tbat the stiffly lined godet nates have entire ly lost their smart appearance, and begin to look pas3e. They are so stiff, heavy, awkward, and inconven ient that the wonder is they held favor so long. The well-cut skirt of this winter har.gs in free and easy tubular flutes around the figure, and can be drawn to either side when seated, so as to avoid crushiBg. There is a hint even of the passing of the flutes in the newest evening gowns, where the fullness of the back is box-plaited and hangs distinctly flat. From 'Review of Fashions," in Demorest's Magazine for January. They are still doing about in Mad ison. This is from the Asheville Citizen : During a row at the house of Mrs. Griffin, on Laurel, in Madison county, on Saturday last, William Norton,- a resident of-that section, wa3 ordered from the house and .on his refusal to leave Mrs. Griffin at tempted to force him from the cabin. In the scuffle that ensued Mrs. Griffin aimed a blow at the head of Norton with a butchei knife and cut one of the man's ears in two. Norton fin ally landed outside the building and as the door was closed on him he pulled a pistol and fired, the bullet passing through the door and enter ing the woman's arm. Norton will need a new ear. but Mrs. Griffin's wound is not thought to be danger ous. Uarr to Sell His Horses. Raleigh, N.'C, Dec. 17 Mention was made four days ago that L.

Much new material is promised, and twenty-five pictures, including three portraits of Lincoln, and facsimiles of interesting docu ments' written and signed by Lincoln. Colored Schools Honored Vance. It is gratifying to know that the colored schools are working for the Vance monument. One dollar and ninety-one cents have been received from the Oberlin school, one of the Raleigh Public School system. This is a countiy school of less than two hundred enrollment, and the contri bution came from the pupils. It speaks well for their patriotism and advancement. News and Observer.

Mrs. Joe Person's Wash Will Cure Sore Eyes. About two years ago a child of one my neighbors was suffering terribly from sore eyes; the eye balls were red, being very much inflamed, and discharged all the time. The child's eyes had been sore for about two months, and there was danger ot erysipelas. They finally got so they were closed all the time, the dis charge was so copious. I had so much faith in the virtue of Mrs. Joe Person's WASH, that I persuaded the mother to try it. We did not use the Remedy, as the child had no disease, and only needed the exter nal application. One week's use of the Wash, made a perfect cure, and the child has never been troubled since, The application is altogether painless, being very soothing and healing. We have used the Remedy and Wash in our family for years we use it for everything as a family medicine. I have never seen a sore tbat the Wash would not cure, and the Remedy cannot be beaten as a tonic to build ong up when the sys tem has ran down, and it will cer tainly break up chills, for T have used it time and again for ten years and it has never failed me yet.

This new company is composed entirely of stockholders in the old company, and ail residents of North Carolina, whose purpose is to organize under charter at the earliest possible date and put the furnace in operation. Details of organization have not been arranged, further than giving all old stockholders the privi- lige of taking stock in the new com pany.

Its profits for the quarter ended Oc tober 31st were $20,507.12, and for the whole period since it was established- $210,608.

No one who has not been through the ordeal, can possibly have any concep tion of the terrible fear and dread occa sioned by the anticipation of a surgical operation. Well grounded, too, per haps, in a majority of cases, for the keen blade of the surgeon is too often used indiscreetly, and where it cannot possi bly do any good. It is a little less than folly to submit to a surgical operation for a disease of the Dlood, and such a course always proves either fatal or useless. Mr. Lincoln Nelson, of Hartville. Mo.. had an interesting experience with the doctors recently, and was on the verge of a painful surgical operation. He writes: "I hereby add my unqualified endorsement of your excellent remedy, S. S. Si For six years I have been a sufferer from a scrofulous affection of the glands of my neck, and all efforts of physicians in Washington, D. C, Springfield, 111., and St, Iyouis, failed to reduce the enlargement. After six months' constant treatment here my physician urged me to submit to a re moval of the gland. At this critical mo ment a friend recommended S. S. S., and laying aside a deep-rooted preju dice against all patent medicines, I be gan its use. Before I had used one bot tle the enlargement began to disappear, and now it is entirely gone, though I am not through with my second bottle yet. Had. I only used your S. S. S. long age, I would have escaped years of misery and saved over $150. If this endorse ment will serve you in any way use it."
