Fire In a Cual Mine.
San Francisco, Nov. 25 Particulars
have been received here of the tire in tbe
Blossburg coal mines, near Raton, N. M
briefly mentioned in last ni&bt's dis
patches. They were as follows: ''At 6
o'clock last night a fire broke out in the
mule aiables in the main entry of tbe
Blossburg coal mines, which are situated
four miles south of Rao ton. It spread
with lightning rapidity, and soon tbe en
trance to the main shaft was a mass of
flames. Sixteen mules were in tbe stable
hen tbe fire broke out, and none were
saved. V ben tbe fire was discoveied, it
was known that 100 men were at work
in the sub-ways, in enlire ignorance ot
their great peril, and shut off from escape
except through au air shatt wbcb was
likely at any moment to be cut off by the
names. A messenger was at once dis
patched to tbe mouth of this shaft a dis
lance of three miles over tbe mountain.
to notify the miners of their great danger.
ana it is thought at this Dour tbat all
have escaped. Tbe town wild with ex
citenient. Women and children whose
husbands and fathers are known to be in
the inine are panic stricken, and the
greatest consternation ptrvalls. The
Raton hose comnany arrived on the
ground, but owing to tbe limited water
supply their efforts to extinguish the
flames were ot no avail. The Blossburg
coal mines are tbe largest in the territorv
and are operated by the Atchison, Topeka
B santa be railroad, employing about
500 men who take ont 50 carloads of coal
per day. . It is thought the mine will be
consumed. The origin of tbe lire is un
known. Tbe lots to the railway company
cannot be estimated, as they depend a!
most wholly on these mines for fuel on
tbe Hew Mexico divisions, but it is prob
able tbat should these mines be entirely
destroyed tbe output of tbe Starkville,
Colo., mines, which are controlled by the
same company, will be greatly increased,
in wbtch case nearly all of the Blossburg
miners wiii nod employment. At a late
hour last nigh: the fire was still raging
fiercely, with no prospect of abatement."

ered tbe following day. Deceased was

an advertisement to tbe Seattle papers
stating that he would individually pay

to their capture. The story that two
men visited Franklin Saturday and
bought provisions with some of the stolen
money proves UDlounded.

' Northern Pacific Train Held np.
Tacoma, Wash., Nov. 25 Tbe North

Hot Springs last night bj three masked
men who re ieved tbe Pullman paseengers
of about fifteen hundred dollars in money
and jewelry. T. C. Taylor of Pendleton,
Oregon, aa relieved of forty dollars in
coin and a watch aod shirt stud.
Tbe three masked highwaymen
climbed onto the rear platform of the last
sleeper while it was stopped at Hot
Springs. They held up the male occu
pants ot tbe car while the train .was go
log irom that station to tbe next, then
stopped the train, got off and made their
iscape. 1 bey got away with about $1300
in money and a tood deal of lewelrv
They fired one shot while in tbe car .and
gave the train a parting salute when
moved away.
It is believed tbat tbe robbers are the
same who robbed tbe Roslvn bank two
months ago. They understood tbe train
signals perfectly, so that Eogineer Geary
readily obeyed every signal given.
THE ROBBERS WERE GALLANT.
The Northern Pacific train which was
held up near Hot' Springs, Wash., last
nigtu arrived bere this morning. K. H
Miller, of this city, who was on the train
said: "I was sitting in tbe smoking'
room or me faliman wnen tbree masked
men entered the compartment ordered
me to throw np my bands. I complied,
ana tbey relieved me or ten dollars,
watch, ring and a scarf-pin. While
robber stood at each door ot the car and
covered tbe passengers a tbird man took
up tbe collection, after all the passengers
complied witb tbe order to throw up their
bands.. JNone of tbe lady passengers
were molested..

Spokane, Nov. 26 A series of high
way robberies which have taken place at
YVenatcbee, - on tbe line of the Great
Northern, west of Spokane, resnltcd last
night in two murders by the robbers.
Gamblers, thieves and thugs bave made
that town their headquarters, reaping a
rich harvest from the railroad construc
tion men, who usually visited the town
to get their money, and then proceeded
to spend it in the saloons and gambling
bouses. Hold ops became so trequeBt
tbat it was unsafe to go cn tbe streets at
nigbt, and not until last night's murder
did tbe cit'zens unite to drive the lawless
element from the town. Joseph Cooper
and two friends were walking from tbe
depot to the hotel just after dark last
night and, while passing through a dark
place In tbe street, were contronted by
two men wbo commanded tbe others to
bold up their bands. Cooper's friends
obeyed instantly, for tbe strangers bad
them covered. (Uooper, wbo was noted
for fearlessness, coolly asked in response
to tne command, "What do you want?
At tbat instant one of tbe robbers fired
and Cooper fell, shot through tbe bead.
At tbe approach of other persons at
tracted by tbe shot, tbe robbers fled.
Cooper lived six boors after receiving tbe
wound, but never regained consciousness.
There is no clue to the murderers.
John McVicar, an old and almost help

Salem, Or., Nov. 28 The secretary ot
state is in receipt of his usual election
contest, wtiicb emanates from the dis
ordered braiu of an unfortunate insane
patient, and which in past years bas
causedjno small amount of trouble at tbe
meeting-of tbe elec'oral college, as bis
communications are always duly filed
and forwarded to Washington. Tbe cor
respondent bases his contest on constitu
tional grounds, and calls tbe presidential
electors bogus electors for the reason
they are not trom congressional districts.
He also calls Pennoyer a bogus governor,
and calls upon tbe proper authonties to
investigate fully.
CURRY 18 SLOW.
All counties of Oregon, with the ex
ception of Curry, have forwarded elec

Nbwbtjrg, N. Yn Nov. 25 A barn
owned by John Powell, at Kioderhook,
was destroyed by fire early Tuesday
morning, and William Mason, tbe 10 year
old nephew of Mrs. Powell, was burned
to death. The little boy and bis 8 year
old brother Alonzo went to tbe barn witb
a lantern. Alonzo says tbe building was
then on fire, William opened the door
and went in aod tried to save the horses,
and tbat was the last seen of bim. When
the smoke became thicker Alonzo called
to - William to come out, but tbe little
fellow was pinned in one of the stalls by
a frantic borse ' and cried nut that be
could'l get away. Alonzo ran for help,
but was so frightened tbat be bad wan
dered a mile when be was finally found.
He
posed to bave considerable money. His
body was found in tbe morning near bis
but, with tbe bead cut open and a bullet
bole through the body. The bouse' bad
been ransacked. Officers are investigat
ing the case. The people have become
alarmed, and a protective association,
similar in purpose to the vigilance com
mittee, will be organized. A similar or
ganization already exist, among tbe rail
roadmen. A general rootiog out of all
lawlessness is to be inaugurated.
An Infant Phenomenon.
Bristol, Tenn , Nov. 26 News bas
just reached bere of a phenomenon in tho
shape of an extraordinary Infant born re
cently near Crab Orchard, Lee county,
Va. The child was well developed, bad
a full and beautiful set of teetb and long
flowing balr of a sombre hue. It was ex
ceedingly pretty, and seemed to be pos
sessed of all ol the mental faculties of
maturity. In a clear voice it said Time
here is short." It then closed its eyes
and died, ibis, together with the ao
pearance of a comet which is supposed to
carrv deatb and destruction in its wake,
bas created consternation in tbat com
munity. It bas made an unmistakable
impression even on tbe more sensible an
serious, and they are living in a state
dread, expecting every moment to beat
Diast trom uabriel a born. It is even
said that some of tbem bave not slept
since tbpy learned ol the possible mission
of tbe comet.

Much Alarm is Felt
New York, Nov. 26 Dispatches from
London, Paris, Berlin and St. Petersburg
report great alarm among the ignorant
and superstitious classes over tbe reports
oncerning tbe probability tbat tbe Biela
comet is likely to be cutting up capers
with some portion of tbe earth, if not
witb its entire surface, witbin tbe 48
hours commencing at noon to day. For
wonder, however, the English Seventh
Day Adventists, wbo implicitly believe
hat coming dangers and eventually the
estruction of tbe eartb, will be fore
shadowed by signs in tbe heavens, are
taking little stock in tbe prognostications
concerning the opproach of tbe heavenly
visitor.
The Northwest Disappointed.
Chicago, Nov. 27 Local astronomers
were much disappointed to-day at being
unable to obtain a view of tbe comet and
tbe expected star shower, but tbe sky was
overcast the entire day witb heavy gray
clouds. Professor Hougu, of tbe Dear
born observatory, said to nigbt:
"There bas - not been tbe slightest
chance of seeing tbe comet. It is not
Bella's comet, anyway, nor ia it at all
likely to collide witb tbe eartb. In fact.
it is moving directly away from our
planet at the rate of 15 miles per second,
and it is already 150,000,000 miles away."
Dispatches from many points through
out tbe West and Northwest state an ina
