MINI DISASTER
viii Probably Result I'm the
Loss of Eleven Lives.
1t Is Caused as Usual by an Ex-
pIosion of Gas.

Five Men Known TO Have Perished--Six
Others So Badly Injured That Recovery
is Considered Almost Impossible--Harl
Task OF the Resousrs-Ssd Scenes Mt the
Mouth of the Pit.
SHAMoKIN, Pa, Oct 15.-An explo-
sion of gas occurred at the Sterling Run
colliery Thursday morning, supposed to
have been caused by fall of coal break
ing miners lamp.
Five men are known to have lost their
lives, while six others were so badly in
jured that their recovery is impossible.
The dead bodies were found early Fri
day morning under tons of debris.
There were many narrow escapes of
miners working in parts of the mine
near where the explosion occurred, but
all the men are now out.
News of the disaster was soon carried
to the homes of the miners, and few
moments later the wives and mothers of
the unfortunate men had gathered about
the mouth OF the pit. All were greatly
excited, and most OF the women were
crying and wringing their hands hyster-
ically. The pit boss and mine superin-
tendent, without loss Of time, gathered
all the miners in the vicinity and orkan-
lied them into squads, that the worR OF
clearing away the wreckage and rescu-
ing the entombed men might be carried
on night and day until 1t was accom-
plished.
The women were tenderly but firmly
urged to stand back, that they might
not in any way hinder the work. In
less than half an hour the task was be-
gun. The first squad of resouers, barred
to the waist. entered upon the work
with zeal and determination that gave
the weeping women hope that their
loved ones might yet be saved. But,
determined though the rugged workmen
were, they were frequently driven back
by the poisonous black gas. Several
were overcome by it, and had to be car
ried out the work had been in pro-
gress two hours when two miners, who
had been imprisoned in new entry,
made their way out, half dragging, half
carrying two others, who were so badly
overcome that they were unable to get
out alone.
The appearance of these men at the
entrance of the mine was greeted with a
shout of joy from the little gathering
outside. The hysterical women had be-
come cooler by this time. The half
Frustrated miners were quickly cared
for by the women, who short time be-
fore were wringing their hands in
despair.
An hour later the rescuers succeeded
in hberating Irwin Edwards. At the
time of the explosion he was with the
seven men still entombed in the sloe,
and it is feared the others have been
suffocated He was hardly able to
speak above a whisper. Some brandy
was administered, and he was in little
time able to tell the anxious wives,
mothers and friends of the men still
buried in the mines what little he knew
of their condition.

ALL THE WAY BY WATER,
This Dandy Tennesseean Brings an Ex
hibit for the Fair.

CHICAGO, Oct. 10. - The schooner
Mary, formerly the City of Clinton, Cap
tain Bettes, carrying Tennessee exhibits
for the worlds fair, arrived in port
Thursday evening. The craft is loaded
with products of East Tennessee includ-
ing gold, silver, copper, zinc, fifteen
kinds Of marble, onyx, etc, and carries
relics of the Tennessee battlefelds. THE
boat was built at the city of Clinton, on
the Clinch river" said Skipper Bettes
81 did the work myself because our
state appropriated no money for the ex-
hibit, and | wanted old Tennessee to be
represented. We loaded her up ana
cvme down the Tennessee river, and
through the Ohio to the Mississippi,
then up the Illinois to the canal. That's
voyage of 1900 miles, and 1900 miles

Do You Know How It.Feels

Rheumatism. Every one has heard
the word. "How's your mother ?"
"Oh, she's well, except her rheuma-
tism." How carelessly the answer
is given. Do you know how it feels
to have rheumatism Oh its ter
rible, the swelling and the eXcruciat-
ing pain of ankle, knee, elbow and
shoulder, Just as if each point was a
bundle OF irritated nerves, each one
seemingly bent on giving more pain
than the other. Laying awake all
night longing for daylight, aching
too severely to sleep, applying lini-
ment every half hour to temporarily
relieve the agony. Praying, cursing,
turning, twisting, but no ease, no
comfort. What is 1t that causes rheu-
matism? All, there are a thousand
causes. What is it that cures rheu-
matism? Thank God there is at least
one cure. 1t is called d. B. b., or
Botanic Blood Balm. 1t has cured
more cases of rheumatism than any
other known remedy. Try it. DO
not suffer longer.
J. III. Laing, Dawson, Ga, writes :
II suffered with rheumatism in my
shoulders and general debility. Five
bottles Is. B. b. improved my health
and the rheumatism left me-"

FINDLAY, o., Oct. 15.-Daniel Snyder,
a well known gardener, has originated
and is successfully operating a novel
plan for the preservation of his five-
acre muskmelon patch from the death
dealing visits of the October frosts. He
dug trenches around and through his
melon tract, and each evening, when a
clear sky threatens chilling frost that
would otherwise ruin his crop, Mr..
Snyder fills these trenches with crude
petroleum. Shortly after midnight, as
soon as the earth has cooled off suffii-
GENTLY to allow of frost, he applies a
match to the oil in his trenches, and in
a few moments the patch is enshrouded
in a canopy of smoke, which hovers
over it until morning, and protects the
melon vines from injury. In this way
Mr.. Snyder continues to supply the
market with melons, and claims he can
do so for several weeks yet.

Both Talk of tho Situation and Causes of
the Trouble.
San FRANCISCO. July H.-J. j. Hammond,
president of the Bunker Hill and Sullivan
Mining company, who is now in this CITY,
said to-day that he had received kilograms
stating that everything is quiet to-day in
the CBur d'Alene district. Hammond said
the directors of tho company had not vet
decided what course to take regarding the
future working of the mines. The principal
loss to the company so far had been owing
to the great expense in erecting the mill
and making other improvements, and the
shutdown was much to their DISADVANTAGES.
G. r. Smith, who was sent to this citv by
the executive committee of the Wallace
Miners union, to prevent tue importation
OF non-union men. said that while the
origin OF the present trouble could be in.
directly traced to the demand for an in
crease of wages, which was unsuccessful
last year, the direct cause OF the trouble
was the revolt BY the men against tho hos
company, and which the miners claimed
was not productive of assistance to them at
the time when needed. The union had
built hospital at Wallace and adopted the
rule tha: 81 per month, instead of being
paid to the companies. should be paid to
the hospital. The Bunker Hill and Sulli-
van company refused to recognize the ius-
tlce OF this rule and the strike resulted in
favor of the miners. Smith claims that the
reduction OF wages followed.
