To the Recent Mine Disaster.


PlTrsBuRG, KANSAS, November l2-
Late last night Marie Berthune, wife OF
one Of the victims of the mine disaster,
set fire to herself and her five children,
and all but the eldest daughter were
burned to death. Among the bodies re-
covered Yesterday in the fatal shaft
was that cf Louis Ber,hune, and
when his wife recognized the
mangled remains shrek was
given and the grief-stricken woman
had swoonel When she recovered she
refused to speak or notice any one, and
it was evident that her reason had gone.
As she eyinced no disposition 10 become
violent, little attention was paid TO her,
and all DAY long she sat at her door re-
gardless Of the cries OF her five children,
the Youngest babe five months old.
Late Sunday evening she apparently
aroused from her stupor and took her
children TO the improyised morgue,
whore lay the body Of her husband. She
led each child up 10 the ghastly
corpse. and still with that awful
silence which had marked her from The
beginning Of her bereavement, led the N
away 20 the little hut which had shell
tered them ia the first No attention was
paid 20 her by those who were busy with
the dead or dying, but about midnight a
cry OF fire from the village gathered a
crowd Of workers from the mine TO the
streets. 4, was seen that the Berthune
cabin was ia flames, and willing
/ hands were soon at work 10 save
the inmates. The eldest child, aged .
years. eirl. succeeded In escaping rom
| The ire which deyoured the rest OF the
/ family. and her story was one that sent a
J thrill Of horror through her hearers She
said that her mother sent each oi he
children 10 bed with a kiss and then sat
down near the stove. The girl could
not sleep and lay watch
In. her mother, who, after
sitting for some time. took the can OF
coal oil and poured il over herself and
the bed clothes over the children. The
rief.stricken woman then set fire 10
some paper and scattered it about the
room. and soon the whole place was in
flames The daughter struggled short
time with her mother in an endeagor to
get away. but the burning oil on her
mothers clothes caused such intense heat
that she soon released her grasp. The girl
fnally managed to get out OF the door,
where she fell exhausted and frightfully
burned The cabin burned ike tinder
and soon nothing was left but the low
ing embers. from which were raked rhe
charred bodies on the insane mother and
| her four children.

The EXPOSITION.
No Features Of Special Interest Yesterday.
Pair Attendance.

No Features OF Special Interest festftns'.
A Pair Attendance.
Yesterday was a beautiful day, but the
absence Of any specially attractive feat
ures at the Exposition caused rather sim
attendance on The grounds. Besides this
IL was Monday, which is always an on
day." as nearly everybody from the coun-
try spends Sunday at home, and the
strangers do not begin to come IN until
about the middle of the week.
Notwithstanding all these drawbacks,
however. the attendance was very ialf,
and as the day advanced the number OF
visitors sensibly increased. Especially
was this the case in the afternoon AID
evening, as the great majority Of people
deferred their visit until late so as to be
able to see the perfoi nance Of The Last
iy,s Of Pompeii " before returning to
the clly.
THE NfXT PROGRAMME.
The programme for the rest Of lhe

lina Day, Petersburg Day. The great

ment and bali
Saturday, Boys Day, with a grand
programme.
THE FEATURE or THE WEEK.
The main feature of the week will be
the great sham battle, which will come of
on Thursday-Miliiary Day. This will
be a grand and novel spectacle, and will
he certain 10 attract an enormous crowd.

Exposition, promises to be one of the
most successful, as large numbers OF
strangers are expected in the city during
the week
The Last Days OF Pompeii'' was again
given last night TO an immense audience,
