A HAIRBREADTiT ESCAPE.

—_—

Picrov, Jan. 15.

The Albion Coal Mines at Stellarton, owned by a Canadian-American-English syndicate, have again been wrecked by ex- plosion, and are on fire. These mines are the scene of the great explosion of 1880, when forty-five persons lost their lives. This time fortunately no lives are lost, but four men were badly injured and fifteen men, working in the Halifax pit when the tire was discovered, had a hairbreadth es- cape. The fire was discovered in the Halifax pit at 10 o’elock last night. Hardly had the men reached the surface when the mine exploded. Two explosions occurred to-day. The second one at 1.20 o'clock of tremendous force, wrecking the engine house and destroying the fan, burning all the hoisting gear, and destroying all other buildings im connection with the mine. This explosion was so great as to be felt like an earthquake shock inthe surround- ing country for twelve miles distant. The mine is still on fire. It is supposed to have commenced from the cage pit, which has beea on fire since the great disaster of eight years ago.

Bexiin, Jan. 15.

The Prussian Diet opencd Saturday The Royal speech made no mention of foreign or military affairs.. It declared that there was hope that the progress of the Crown Prince Frederick William toward recovery will be maintained. The condition of the finances of the Empire is favorable beyond expectations. The bills to be submitted provide for an improvement of the condition of the clergy of all denomi- nations and for the abolition of the widows and orphans fund, which civil officials hitherto paid. The Siate will partially assume the payment of salaries of teachers in communal schools, will contribute to the construction of important railway lines, wil] assist in the developmeut of all interests of the country to which it is proper to devote the resources of the State. The success of reform in taxa- tion justifies the hope that unless unforseen events intervene the restoration of the maintenance of the equilibrum between revenue and expenses in the coming years will be more easily effectet.
