Four Men Instantly Killed by Gas Ex-
plosion.
CLARKsBuRa, w. Va, May This
morning about Z o'clock, at the Ocean
coal mines, two miles northeast of this
city, owned by Wilson, Black & Sheri-
den, terrific explosion of gas occurred.
The report was heard for many miles and
brought throng of people from all the
surrounding country in the vicinity of
the disaster. Fourteen men had de-
scended into the mine and about forty
more were descending when the catas-
trophe took place. When the explosion
occurred two great clouds of smoke and
a large volume of water we're forced from
the two entrances to the mine, located
about 1000 feet apart, and there was no
idea that any of the men would come out
alive, but the rescuing party decided to
start into the mine, and five men we're
gotten out alive; the other four-George
Feather, VIM. Dougherty, Nathan Gains
and Chas. Welch-were all Instantly
killed. Feathers body was recovered
through rush made by the rescuers, but
the others could not be reached. The
mine at once took fire and is burning fu-
riously. There is no hope of obtaining
the bodies. If the explosion had oc-
CURED few minutes later, forty lives
would b.. been sacrificed.

LOSING GROUND.
It Looks as Though the Striking Coke

1t Looks as Though the Striking Coke
Workers Would Lose the Strike.
P1TTsBURG, May 1.-THE latest advices
from the coke region go rather to verify
the words uttered by Frick, the coke
king, when he first determined to run
their works with non-union men: "Gen-
tlemen, we must run our plants and we
will" Foreigners are arriving in the re-
gion at the rate of seven TO ten carloads
per day and are distributed throughout
the Frlck plants, that company having
been first and most determined to break
the strike. 1t is estimated tonight that
there are nearly 4,O0G men working at
the different plants, including those at
the w. J. Rainey ovens. Rainey, though
paying the old wages, has never recog.
nized the organization. OF the 5000 at
work, there are very few old strikers, the
bulk being imported men, and it is
thought the strike cannot hold much
longer against this influx. However, the
men say they will win.

ment, and as such need cabinet repre-

But He Was Put Ashore at a
Point Eight Miles From

They Sent Him Ashore,

SAN Francisco, May IA Chroni-
cles special from San Diego says: When
the Chilian transport Etata weighed her
anchor last evening and commenced to
steam rapidly down the channel, it was
supposed the deputy .rdated Sta,c
marshal who had beel put aboard %
hold her would either be compelled to go
with her to her destination, swim ashore
or cast adrlft upon the desert Cofonado
Islands, several miles off the coast. He
arrived in the city this morning. how
ever, the Chilian captain having put him
ashore at the ballast point, eight miles
from town and he made his way in as
best he might. His statement makes
sensational reading and from circum-
stances surrounding the case the Etata is
nothing more or less than privateer in
the service of the Chilian rebels.
THE CHARLESTON WILL PURSUE.
SAN Francisco, May THE Alta
California has positive information that
the United States steamer Charleston
will sail for San Diego tomorrow IN
pursuit of the Chilian ship Etata. Secre-
tary Tracy telegraphed special orders
to-day, and the Charleston left
Mare Island to day and anchored
off San Francisco instead of
taking her usual anchorage. She went
behind Goat Island out Of sight. Her
ostensible purpose in coming down is to
go outside and try her guns. The officers
and men have been ordered to be on
board at o'clock tomorrow morning.
SAN Francisco, May 1.-THE Chroni-
Gle states it has Information that gives
ground for the statement that the
steamer seen lowering around the en-
trance to San Diego is the armed tran
sport Imperiale. She left Valparaiso to
intercept the Etata on her return voy-
age. The Imperiale is vessel of 1890
tons and is said to be capable of steam
ing sixteen miles per hour. Senior Cas-
sanova, former Chillan consul said yes
terday: sit will be found that British
money is the mainstay of insurgents
agaiust our government. The British
want to obtain control of the nitrate de-
posits, and president Balmaceda wishes
them to be worked for the benefit of the

The Anticipated Trouble,

ScoTTDALE, Pa, May g. The coke
region to-day was shaken from center to
circumference by just such another scene
as has been feared since the dreaded
Morewood killing. At Leisenring No 8
last night a man named Mahan was shot
dead and another seriously injured. Even
at this hour 1t is difficult to secure posi-
tive information, owing to the excitement
caused by the affair. The most reliable
accounts, however, agree that two Hun
garians, who had left the works, delayed
their visit, and Superintendent Gray be.
came Suspicious. He, in company With
his assistants and four deputy sheriffs,
visited house No. IL, where their
workmen were enjoying them
selves immensely. Their entrance
caused stampede among the strikers,
and two of them rushed out. Gray and
deputies we're followed up the hill by the
angry crowd who came so close that they
we're compelled to back down with rifles
presented. They stayed off the mob as
long as possible, but Mahan rushed up
to one of the deputies, seizing his rifle
and grappled with him. This deputy
fred and the balance followed suit. In
the fusilade one man fell dead while
another was injured. The remains of
Mahon, ,shrouded in black shroud, ARE on
cot in house No. IL this evening. He
was evicted from this house
about week ago and strikers
to-day gained possession in time
to shelter his body. There are grave ap-
prehensions of further trouble at Leisen-
ring and the force Of Deputies is largely
increased. Deputy Coroner Stone ar
rived at Leisenring, empannelled jury
and conducted an examination. A YER
dict was rendered that Mahan came to
his death from gunshot wounds fired by
unknown persons. On information of
Worthy Foreman McCloy of the mine
works, Superintendent Gray, Mine Boss
Callaghan and Yard Boss Agnew were
arrested for the murder and given pre-
liminary hearing before Squire Cotton,
Of Dunbar, who held the defendants for
trial and they were taken to jail. The
testimony adduced placed the blame of
shooting on Gray. Some thirty families
were evicted to-day at Broadford, and
more would have been thrown out had
not deputies objected to being stoned
and struck because they were not al
lowed to use their revolvers on the
strikers. Tonight there are $500 men
at work, including the men at the Inde-
pendent works and Il. w. Rainey's.
There is no doubt slow but steady gain
is being made on the men, owing to the
heavy imports of labor. Five carloads OF
Italians arrived in the region to-day.

that they would pay but SO per day for
eight tours' work. The master builders
declare this resolution final, and as the

disastrous strikes in the building trade
that has ever occurred in this city.
