FLAMES BURST FORTH.
The Bowels Of the Living Tomb
Afiame.
II the Imprisoned Miners Escape the Fire
Pilfering Rats VIII Gnaw Thorn Boz
yond Recognition.

There Is no longer any hope. All faith
in the Industrious rescuers has been
abandoned. The entombed miners can
not be rescued. A furious fire has
sealed their fate, and IL their dead
bodies escape the hungry flames, the
pilfering rats that infest the mines will
have gnawed them beyond recognition.
Death never came to men in more re-
voting form, and aff1iction never fell
heavier on the bereaved. This has been
an awful, yet even greater disaster
threatens. A fire, fierce as whirl-
wind, is raging for 1000 feet down into
the yawning mouth Of the Hill Farm
mine. Deadly gas has generated back
of the burning, and the ponderous hill
into which the Hill Farm, the Ferguson
and the Mahoning pits are driven is
mighty magazine, fairly pregnant with
death, the lightest stroke Of a miners
pick would explode it. The effect of
such an explosion would be awful to
contemplate. The rescuing party has
been withdrawn from the face
of the Mahoning pit. A strong
guard has been placed at the
mouth OF the Ferguson mines
to keep out the impatient, restless
miners who would rescue the unfortu-
nate on their own account. The flames
at the Hill Farm Mines are hot enough
to drive away invaders. Fire broke
from the mouth of the Hill Farm pit
shortly after nine o'clock Friday night
1t followed promptly after the drill en-
tered the burning mine. For two hours
before the flames burst out huge bill
lows of smoke, black and deadly,
rolled over each other into tho air
and drifted upward. A rumbling,
rushing sound, like swiftly -mov-
ing train, through a tunnel, pre-
ceded the flames. Secretary Watchern
and Superintendent Hill were at the pit
mouth awaiting the outbreak. To the
experts the smoke indicated approach
ing fire for half an hour before its ar
rival. Its coming could be heard long
before the fire reached the pit mouth. 1t
could be seen licking up the timbers in
the mine, and the steady stream of water
which rippled down the slope seemed
only to inspire and encourage to wilder
efforts the angry fiend. All efforts to
extinguish the flames have proved fruit
less, and the buildings in the vicinity
have been torn down to prevent the fire
spreading.

over $500 of this money was offered at
the banks. Officers are on his trail.

Railway Strikers at Chicago.

A crisis in the big strike of the Illinois
Central trainmen at Chicago, was
reached the Goth. After an all-day ses-

ers' committee and the Illinois Central
officials ended with positive refusal on
the part of the railroad company TO dis
charge Superintendent Russell. This
was the ultimatum as far as the COM
pany was concerned. The strikers show
no signs Of weakening, and unless some
compromise can be effected the 27th,
nothing can prevent the strike spread
