Horrible Fate OF o Hundred Missouri
Coal Miners.

OIs AOU103 1udlCu AVs-at 1llCu olil,
Mo-, at 4.30 o'clock this afternoon ter.
rible accident occurred, which will un.
doubtedly result in the loss of 100
lives. at the hour named two explosions
were heard, and later it was found that
mines Nos. 5 and 6, situated six miles
from town, had caved in, burying an un.
told number of miners in its ruins. As
soon as the information reached town
everything became at once scene of
confusion and excitement, and informa-
ton is yet difficult to obtain.
Before dark forty bodies had been
taken from the mine. The superinten-
dent of the mine was taken out more
dead than alive, but may possibly recover.
Rich Hill is sixty.five miles from
Kansas City, on the Fort Scott and Gulf
road.
Later dispatches say the first EXP! sion
occurred at 1910 p. m, killing twenty or
thirty men. Superintendent Sweeney
and his assistant Immediately began the
work of rescuing the imprisoned miners,
and up to 4.30 had succeeded in saving
fifteen men, when the second explosion
occurred, involving Superintendent Swe-
ney and his aids. The fire was terrific
shooting out from the top of 270 foot
shaft like great furnace. Further effort
to save the miners was hopeless, and as
hundreds of men, women and children
crowded about the burning shaft, the
scene became heartrending in the ex-
treme.
The bodies recovered represent small
proportion of the number at work, and
it is supposed the further loss of life will
be very great. Ats p. m. another ex.
plosion was momentarily expected. The
flames were almost within reach of the
magazine containing three or four hun
dred kegs of powder.
The superintendent of the Rich Hill
Mining Company is now in charge of the
work Of attempted rescue, but it is not exs
expected he will accomplish much.
Mine No. 6 belonged to the Keith and
Perry Case Company, and was inspected
about two months ago by Mine Inspector
Wolfe.
