C., Oct. 1.—Seventeen men are dead as a result of fire and ex plosion in an extension mine, No. 2, be longing to the Wellington Colliery com pany. The flames started from a cur tain, which caught fire from a miner’s lamp. The dead: George Southcomb, timberman, mar ried, with family, resided at Ladysmith, a native of Australia.

The fire broke out at the bottom of level No. 3 and was communicated across the slope by one of the curtains. Iu half an hour the whole slope was on fire. Rescuers hurried to the mines, bat the men Had gone, attempting to get out by the accustomed, route, thus meeting death half way. While the rescuers were at work sev eral explosions occurred. When it was realized chat the men could not be saved, a strong force started to choke the mine, but their work was undone by a terrific explosion, which biew down the barricade. A little later the fan house burned. James Thomas, a rope rider, had a thrilling escape. He was riding down the slope and seeing the fire coming, jumped oil the car and ran. George B. Somhcomb and Eugene Griffith, tim- bermen, called to him to follow them, but he ran on up tne slope for 1.000 feet to its mouth and barely escaped with his iife. The other men were overtaken by the flames and perished. The fire is still raging, but it is thought it can be extinguished without flooding the mine.

Increase of 3Iore Than $125,000 Over Last Year. Atlanta, Oct. I.—Commis&ioner of Pensions J. W. Lindsey has completed his work of Dassing upon new applica tions for pensions for the coming year. He will continue to receive applications and put them on file, but he will not act upon any more to be paid next year. As a resuit of Commissioner Lindsey’s investigations he estimates an appro priation of $825,000 will be necessary to pay all the pensions next year. This is an increase of more than 125,000 over last year, but it takes iu the new class of widows provided for at the iast ses sion of the legislature, but who were not paid. This new class of pensioners will account for about $89,000 of the in crease. The following amounts will be re quired to pay the different classes of pensioners: Indigent soldiers, $362,000; indigent widows, $78,000; disabled sol diers, $190,000, and old class of widows, f190,000. This makes a total of $825,000. Drowued in Ogeeciice Canal. Savannah, Sept-. 30.—Sam Deitch, a 12-year-old boy, was drowned in the Ogeechee canal. Deitch and several young companions were playing on a raft made of old logs at the foot of Mar garet street, when the raft gave way and precipitated the whole crowd into the water. The screams of the boys brought assistance in short order and all were fished out in time except Deitch, whose body had sunk to the bottom. Some little time elapsed before the body was recovered and life was extinct. No lives were lost in the conflagra tion, but the inmates lost nearly all their personal effects. Fire was discovered in the upper part of the building at 8:15 o’clock. It started in the garbage plant. Immediately this discovery was made, an alarm was given and a hose line at tached to the tank in the rear of the building, and the inmates hurrisd from their rooms. An appeal for aid was sent to the fire department in town, and a fire track was sent in response thereto. The water in the tank proved entirely insufficient to stay the blaze aud the structure burnt like tinder. In 30 min utes after it caught it was a rnin. Save for the water iu the tank the building had no protection. There were 75 inmates in the home. The building was insured for $10,000. It cost about $10/)00. All the inmares of the home have not yet been accounted for, but it is believed at this hour that no lives are lost. Scarcely anything has been saved. A movement will be started to rebuild the home by popular subscription. TO REBUILD HOME. Cotton Fields Are White.

Atlanta, Oct. 1.—The news of the destruction by fire of the Georgia Sol diers’ Home was received throughout the state with evidences of the greatest sorrow. Sentiment generally is in favor of re building the home at once. Already Atlanta, Savannah, Macon, Augusta, Albany, Columbus and many other cit ies and towns of the state have started subscription lists and, with, the insur ance money of $10,000 as a nucleus, it is only a question of time when a sufficient sum wiil have been raised for the pur pose. The Soldiers’ Home, with the addi tions and improvements that had been made thereon, represented a cost of $30,000. Inside the building were fur nishings to the amount of $3,500. The building was insured for $10,009 and the furniture for $2,000. The actual loss, therefore, is something more than $20,- 000. Of the $J 0,000 insurance, $5,000 is with the Scottish Union National In surance company and $5,000 with the Hamburg-Bremen Fire Insurance com pany. The building was a three story structure.
