excitement was created here this fore
noon by report that terrible explosion
had occurred in the Raccoon pit at the
Lower Hin Coal Mine, at Chesterfield,

and were probably dead. Their names
are HobsOn Cheatham and A. L. Leigers.
THE SLOPE EXAMINED.
The former was a gasman whose duty
it was to examine the chambers slopes
to see if they We're properly ventilated be-
fore the men went TO work. Leigers was
a contractor aud worked force of hands
in the mine. 1t seems that they went
down the slope together, made the exam
ination and reported everything all right.
How the explosion occurred cannot be
positively stated. The two men had not
come out, although about go men had
gone to work.
BOTH KILLED.
The explosion occurred in the lower end
of the slope, and caught Cheatham and
Leigers, but all the men who were 81
work nearer the mouth OF the slope es-
capped before the black damp overlook
them. A Tescu1ng party went into the
mine, but could not az first get within 500
feet of the unfortunate men, owing TO the
black damp. Late this afternoon, how
ever, they succeeded in recovering the
body OF Cheatham.
A boy named David Lucas had his
clothing burned and was himself little

BURNING OF A TENEMENT.
The Corpses of = Widow and Her Two
Children Found in the Ruins.

NEW YORK, Nov. 23.--The five-story
tenement at No. 404 East Sixty-fourth
street was set on fire this morning by the
upsetting of a lamp, and when the fire
was extinguished the dead bodies of
Mary TiOlka, Bohemian widow, and her
children, Mary and Annie, were discov-
cred. They had been sutocated by smoke
ascending the air shaft.
INCENDIARIsM ALLEGED.
The report was spread early this morn
ing among the homeless tenants that the
house had been deliberately set on fire by
one of their number. Henry Kohnt. a
Bohemian cigarmaBer, was pointed out
as the guilty one. He had disappeared
and did not show up until later In the
morning. BY that time the police had
collected evidence enough to make a
charge Of arson and murder against him.
The excitement of the Bohemians had be-
come furious, and threats of lynching
were made il KOhnt was found.
INSURANCE MONEY HIS AIM.
Kohnt is insured for 5000, while his
furniture is scarcely worth $15, aud the
charge is that he set fire to the house to
get this money. An Investigation by the
fire marshal showed that the fire broke
out in kOhnt's room, and that Kerosene oil
had been poured over the he'd and floor.
The hallway and stairs were IN flames,
and the only way of escape for the ten
ants was by the FIRE escapes in the front
and rear. Kohnt was Identified by one OF
the tenants as man who threw some
thing like water from pail on the burn
ing stairs. 1t blazed up the moment it
struck the stairs, and then others thought
that it was kerosene. Kohnt was ar
raigned in court to-day and was held on
charge of arson.
