Ste. Genevieve Herald Ste. Genevieve, Mo. Saturday, Jan. 20, 1883 A TERRIBLE EXPLOSION Near Coulterville, across the river in Randolph Co., an explosion of gas took place on Monday afternoon of last week. Ten miners were killed, presumably smothered by the smoke and gases. Gottlob KAMMERER celebrated his 40th birthday last Tuesday in good style. Mindful of the old belief that a Suabian ought to be circumspect at the particular minute of his 40th anniversay, he had provided himself with a keg of beer and sundries in order to avoid being caught napping at the momentous moment. The brass band and several good friends were in attendance to help keep the watch, which they did most effectually, as we can testify by personal observation on Wednesday night when the jubilant gentleman was in excellent spirits, disposing of the crumbs of the feast. A long and happy life to him. Mr. H.M. CRAWFORD informs us that he has a mineral spring on his farm, about a mile and a half from town, that will cure "all the ills human flesh is heir to," and he expects that by the first of April a large hotel with all the latest appliances and conveniences will be erected near the spring, and by the first of July a string of street cars will run from the city to his farm. With all the springs, of wonderful healing properties, now in the immediate neighborhood there is certainly no need of bad health and poor digestion. He guaranteed that after using the water of this wonderful spring a few weeks, anyone can digest a padlock and eat more at a meal than a threshing machine. - Chester Tribune.
