AN AWFUL. DISASTER.

Terrible Explosion of Fire Damp in a Coal
Mine in Rhenish-Prussia-Ov Two Hun
bred Miners Buried, of Whom Only
Thirty Are Rescued Alive.
BERLIN, March ia terrible disaster
occurred in the mining village of Camp
Hansen, near Saurabruecken, yesterday,
by which it is believed fully two hundred
miners have lost their lives. The explosion
occurred in one of the large mines. The
miners had hardly begun the days work
when the fre-damp becoming ignited, ex-
ploded, causing heavy caye-in around the
shaft and entrance to the NINE Over two
hundred men are known to have been in
the mine at the time Of the explosion, and
all efforts to reach them have thus
far been unsuccessful. 1t is feared
that they have all been either
crushed to death or asphyxiated The
scenes in and around the mine are heart
rending. The wives, mothers and children
of the imprisoned men have fiocked around
the entrance to the mine, sobbing hysterical-
ly, and imploring of God to help them and
spare the lives of dear ones entombed be-
low.
The latest reports state that ninety-eight
bodies have been recovered from the
wrecked mine There are still one hundred
and two men and boys unaccounted for.
The work of exploration is being pushed as
actively as possible, but it is almost certain
that all who are now In the mine must be
dead, as the main shaft and the air appara-
tus were destroyed by the explosion. Thirty
OF the persons in the mine were saved.

Sad Story of the Destitution Which Pre-

1 Sad Story of the Destitution Which Pre-
| walls In Parts of West Virginia.
CHARLESTON, W. Va, March 24-D. W.
Cunningham, who has been travelling dur
| ing the past week in the counties of Cal
houn, BraXton ard Gilmer arrived in the
city Saturday. He relates the following
story of restitution: During the past
week have been travelling through the
counties Of Clay, Calhoun, Braxton and
Gilmer. l had heard a good deal before
going out into this section of country about
the suffering caused by the drought and
severe winter but could not believe that
accounts had not been exaggerated. A
few days experience, however, sufficed to
satisfy me that l was mistaken The
restitution and suffering are indescrba-
bic. In many localities people are on the
very verge of death by starvation. Horses
and cattle are no better off than men,
women and children, and are literally dying
for want of food. This state Of affairs is
sickening in parts of Jackson and Reane
counties. In some sections of the stricken
districts people have subsisted on beans and
kind of Cruel made by grinding up wheat
and boiling it. This is the case among
hundreds of people. Of course Pm
speaking of these regions of the country
which are isolated from villages
and towns where supplies could be obtained.
Indeed, for miles there is scarcely village
store to be found, and the few that are kept
are SO poorly stocked that they do well if
they provide something for the owners
families to eat. In addition to the scarcity
of food for man and beast, the low state
OF the springs during the warm, dry fall
months, when the drought existed.
s0wed the seeds of disease, and hence there
are many sick people. The difficulties met
with in obtaining medical aid adds another
terror to the situation. This is what l saw
in my journey through the counties named.
The people there ought to be helped, but
how it is to be done, and who is to do it, is
more than / am able to say.'

ST. LOUIS, No., March 19-The thaw Of
the last few days has done great injury at
various points along the Missouri River,
through the counties of Carroll, Ray and
Lafayette. In Carroll County the water
spread out several miles, and hundreds of
farmers left their homes, many being res
cued with boats, leaving household effects
behind. In that county alone the loss will
reach many thousands of dollars, and
at least three or four lives are known
to have been lost The wheat crop, en-
bracing hundreds of acres, is completely
ruined. This loss falls, as general thing,
upon class of people ill-prepared to stand
only lost their household effects, clothing,
and stock of provisions, but cattle, horses
and chickens, and many are left in a needy
and distressed condition. The loss by flood
alone thus far will reduce the wheat crop of
Missouri to considerable extent.
The situation at Wayerly, small village
in Lafayette County, is very serious The
water stands out over the Waveriy bottoms
from one to fifteen feet deep. This bottom
covers territory of six miles up and down
the river and not less than one back, en-
bracing hundreds of farms. Many of the
farmers are yet in their houses, some having
been forced to the second story; Others are
in trees, and sceIe of great desola-
ton is presented. The waste of waters is
charging. Hundreds of head of stock have
perished, many having been drowned while
tied up in the stables. Rescuing parties
are out in 1at-boats and skiffs, endeav-
oring to save suffering people, A number
have been taken to land, but many are yet
in their water prisons.
The food at Waverly was caused by the
ice forming a gorge few miles above the
town of Waverly. This forced the water
over the bank and spread it over the vast
territory, imperiling many lives. 1t is esti-
mated that the loss so far, outside of stock,
will reach 100000. The latest news from
that section is to the effect that hundreds of
men are out rescuing those still in their
houses. Among the rescued were Mrs.
Judge Thomas, who was driven from her
house by the water and took refuge upon a
hill surrounded by water, where she had
been for two days and nights without food
or shelter. They also rescued Mr..
Van Meter, wife and children
from the second story of their
house. They had been there without food
since the beginning of the overflow, two
days ago. Herds of cattle have been
drowned and many tales of suffering are
told by people who went for several days
without food and were at last miraculously
rescued.
