TWO EXPLOSIONS,
Resulting In Death and Destruction Teri.
BILE Disaster In Coal Mine.

Die DISASTER In q Coal mines
RICH Hill, No. March 29-At noon to-
day horrible gas explosion occurred at
Keith a. Perry's No. 6 Mine, which has
doubtless resulted in the death OF large
number OF mon and destroyed thousands
of dollars worth of valuable property.
Superintendent Sweeny is Frustrated With
badly burned face and hands, and tho
air at the scene OF the disaster is
filled with the grief and anguish
OF widowed wives and fatherless chill
dren. A second explosion occurred about
the middle of the afternoon and added
creator loss and disaster. The mine Is 240
feet beneath the surface, and the men
were Just leaving for the dinner hour.
About eighty-ive men were employedin
the mine, but it is not known how many
had gone out. The mine is supplied with
two shafts. The south one Is used by the
men when ascending. Eight men were on
this cage, and when about halfway up
there was a sudden trembling Of the earth
and aloud deafening report, fol owed by
general collapse Of the shaft and timbers
flying in all directions. The scene Mt the
mine can not be described. Loving wives,
children and sweethcarts mingled their
tears and grief for the loved ones suffer-
ing horrible death, almost at thcir feet,
but were unable TO extend them the slight
est aid 1t is thought now that about
thirty rre in the mine and OF course are
dead, as no human being could live in the
flames that roared and seethod in that
death hole.
