CH0KED TO DEATH.
Great Loss Of Life ii a Belgium
CollierY.

An Explosion tm the MIme which
ChOkes UP the Entrances and
Destroys YentIEatIon Pathetic
Scene at the Month Of She Pit.
BRUSSELS, March 11.-An accidentI oc-
Cured today in the colliery at Aunderliens
near Charleroi, which it is feared will re-
suit in a great loss of life. Two hundred
miners were employed il coal pit when
there was a terrific explosion of fire damp.
The fate Of the imprisoned workmen is un-
known. Efforts are being made to rescue
any who may have survived the explosion.
Three hundred men were at work and only
three Of these thus far have reached the
mouth of the pit in SAFETY. The men, if
any, who survived the shock of the explo-
sion, are apt to meet their death from
choke damp, as with the destruction ofven-
tilation it is impossible to rid the mine Of
gasses.
A large force Of volunteers are at work
clearing the mouth of the mine of the de-
bris in order to reach the imprisoned
miners. A large number of the miners are
married and their families and friends are
at the pits mouth frantic with grief.
Later particulars of the explosion show
it occurred in a gallery, 400 feet below the
surface, where 270 men were working. Of
this number forty escaped by a second
shaft and sixteen others were rescued in
fatally injured condition. 1t is feared, of
the men in the mine, 200 of them have
been killed.

to me by a young friend a few days ago.
"Do you think they really have an idle
timer / said in reply.
"oh, yes" my questioner replied, 81
am sure they have"
1 remembered the query some days
after, and having occasion to call upon
some wealthy women Of the exclusive
set, 1 inquired as to their idle hour in
dulgences. One woman informed me
that she made all her own underwear,
which upon seeing 1 found showed evil
dence of 81 accomplished needle; another
lady said she painted; another was inter-
ested in school matters and dabbled In
literature, and before l got through /
came to the conclusion that wealthy
women were as industrious, considering
the many social calls upon them, as the
working women.-Philadelphis Press,
