Fatal Explosion in a Coal Mine.
A disastrous explosion of fire damp has occurred to-day at the Abram colliery, near Wigan, in Lancashire, by which it is feared many lives are lost. A large number of men were at work in the mine at the time the disaster occurred, and of these fully two hundred have not been rescued. Later. Accounts to hand from the scene of the colliery explosion near Wigan state that all the miners except forty have been rescued, and the mortality, therefore, has been less than was at first expected. A proclamation has been issued by the Irish Executive, declaring the Ladies' Land League to be an illegal organisation. -""* Intelligence is to hand from Africa that a false prophet collected 2,600 negro fanatics, and then caused 300 of them to to be massacred in cold blood. The rest succeeded in escaping.
