City Hall Overflows [Communicated.] ‘When 8 o’clock came last night the city hall was so crowded that standing room was at a premium. Mr. Bursk operated the stere- opticon, and the service opened with pictures of the village of Oberammergau, Bavaria, where the ‘Passion Play” is enacted once in ten years. Pictures of some of the leading characters, and of the great open air amphi- theater were also shown. To- night the service will open with the ‘“Passion Play”’ itself. Mr. Hamilton’s subject was “Six Facts About Hell.” The outline of his sermon was about as follows: 1. Thereisa hell. God says so. “In hell he lifted up his eyes.” 2. Hell is separate from heaven. God says so, “There is a great gulf fixed.” 3, Hellis a place of wicked inhabitants. God says so,—*The fearful and unbelieving, abom- inable and murderers, whore- mongers and sorcerers, idolators and all liars, drunkards, thieves and adulterers.” 4. Hellis a place of torment. God says so,—“There shall be weeping and wailing and gnash- ing of teeth,”” There is remorse there, “Son remember.”’ 5. Hell is forever. God says 80,—*'Depart ye Cursed into ever- Motor Boat Men.

CAGES BLOWN FROM SHAFT Heavy Charge Used in Blasting Ignited the ‘Accumulated Dust in the In- terior of the Colliery, Thereby Caus- ing the Disaster. Charleston, W. Va., May -3.—The bodies of eleven dead have been re- covered from the Whipple mine, where an explosion of gas occurred, and this is thought to be the full ex- tent of the fatalities. The number of injured is five. The mine was but slightly damaged. The explosion occurred in the main return heading, 1,200 feet from the mouth of the shaft, and is said to have been caused by a heavy shot, which ignited the accumulated dust. The in- terior of the mine was not damaged, the force of the explosion expending at the top of the shaft. The cages were blown out and the tipple build- ings were wrecked. Six men who were working a tipple escaped unhurt, although heavy timbers were hurled in every direction. There were no marks on the bodies of the dead. These men suffocated frem the afterdamp and could have been rescued had they been reached ten minutes sooner. AFLOAT IN LEAKING BOAT Sixteen Shipwrecked Men Picked Up at Sea. Norfolk, Va., May 3.—Captain da Rochel, fourteen seamen and a negro boy stowaway, survivors of the Span- ish bark Oriente, which stranded off Nags Head lifesaving station, on the North Carolina coast, last Saturday night, have arrived here, having been picked up by the fishing smack Lilla B. Fernald of New York. They were rescued thirty miles north of Cape Hatteras after they had been afloat in a small and leaking boat for fourteen hours. The lives of the rescued men were in great peril from the time the bark stranded 500 yards off shore in a dense fog and rough sea until they were taken on board the Fernald. The Fernald herself carried a crew of seventeen men and there were not sufficient accommodations and food aboard for all hands, so her captain abandoned his fishing expedition and brought his charges here and they are being cared for by the Portuguese consular agent. The Oriente and her cargo of phos- phate is a total loss. The vessel was bound from Barbados to New York. FUEL FAMINE SERIOUS. Western Canada Suffering Because of Miners’ Strike. ‘Winnipeg, Man., May 3.—The fuel famine is assuming serious propor- tions, hardly a town in Western Can- ada having enough fuel to last for a week. Near the mines where the min- ers are out the condition is becoming most serious. At Calgary hundreds of people are down to their last pound of coal and many industries have been obliged to close down and there is no relief in sight. At Brandon green tamarack wood is practically unob- tainable at $12 per cord and not a pound of coal can be had at any price. All towns in Western Canada are in practically the same cendition and even Winnipeg is beginning to suffer for want of fuel. Some 7,000 cars are tied up on the Canadian Northern be- tween Winnipeg and Fort Frances, the company being unable to bring them in owing m a shortage of eng&nes IRONWORKERS ON STRIKE. Three Thousand Men Quit Work at San Francisco. San Francisco, May 3.—Three thou- sand men engaged in the iron trades in this city and around the bay walked out of the shops because their employ- ers had refused an eight-hour day. The Union iron works, the Risdon fron works and twenty other shops lasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels.” 6. Everybody in Bemidji who rejects Jesus Christ is going to hell. God says so, “He that be- lieveth not is condemned al- ready.” Tonight Mr. Hamilton will speak on “The Devil’s Play- ground.” The Pioneer at all times has in stock office supplies of every are completely tied up. Twenty-s en shops granted to the men the eighi hour day for which the fight is being waged and 10 per cent of the men continued at work. An arhitration proposal has been made by the organization of employers, but the men will stay out pending its consid- eration. Foreign Loan for Salvador. San Salvador, May 3.—Congress has authorized the executive to negotiate on the most favorable terms possible a forelgn loan of $5,000,000 in gold.
