A Terrible Explosion Choking
Up The Mouth of The SHAFT So
That There Was No Escape For
the NIincrs-Ten Bodies RecOv-
cred.
McALLIsTER, l. T., Ian. S.-Rcport has
reached here from Shaft No. 5, of the
Usage Coal and Mining company at
Krefs that terrible explosion occurred
there at o'clock last evening, from
the effects of which two hundred lives
were probably lost.
1t was Just before the day shift changed
off and came out of the mine for supper
when a puff of smoke was seen to escape
from the mouth OF the single shr.t Of the
mine, and Immediately following this
there was heard terrible report, fol-
lowed by rumbling as if of the rolling
of thunder.
Men at the top of the shaft at once
sounded an alarm and made prepara-
tons to send down rcscuing party, but
they found that the mouth of the shaft
had been completely closed up the
debris.
When the messenger who brought this
news left nothing had been done toward
getting the men ont except to organize a
relief party, which was to begin work at
oure on the debris. There are between
$50 and 200 men cntombcd in the mine,
and it is believed that every one will lose
his life, for the shaft is a single one with
no means for the air to get to the miners.
KANSAS CITY, Mo, Jan. S.-ConGrma-
ton has been received of the heexplosion at
Krcbs, Indian Territory, near McAllis'
ter, last night. Over 200 miners were
killed and large number fatally injured
Ten bodies have already been taken out
of the shat.
A dispatch to the Star this afternoon
says
At the time of the explosion $50 men
were in the shaft, most of whom were
waiting Tor the cage to take them out
Consequently the foot of the shaft is one
mass of dead bodies. Eishty-Gve men
came out by the old entry and forty-two
were saved by the shaft, most of whom
arc more or less burned and bruised, and
half will probably die. This leaves about
233 men yet in the mine, and in all prob
ability 200 are dead.
At 7:10 a. m. today the shalt was
cleared and ten dead men were brought
out, and only one man could be rccog
nizcd, the remains being so mutiated
One man escaped from the shaft, SOC
feet deep, by working from bracket tc
bracket, and was saved.
Thousands of anxious wives and moth
ers are eagerly watching each cagr as il
comes to the surface, hoping to see theil
loved ones, only to turn away disap
pointed.
The explosion was caused by firing a
shot of powder when the gas was ii
the mine.

BI.A1NH:'s CONDITION.
IT Is Good F'hy sically, SO His Doc
tor says.

ApE 6ay Ne
From the New York World.
Dr. Hyatt, Mr.. Blainc's family phvsi-
clan, said to the World correspondent:
The facts regarding the indisposition
of Mr.. Blaine are quite simple. Mr..
Blaine has been remarkably well man
for some time. Until within few days
he has taken great deal of outdoor
exercise, walking about Washington and
going out in hecountry. The inclement
weather in the last ten days has cut him
Oft from this recreation and the result
is that he has made himself liable to an
attack such as occurred Wednesday
morning. His appetite has been excel
lent and he ate hearty breakfast before
going to the Department. If he had had
an opportunity to take his usual exercise
this would doubtless not have affected
him. He went to the Department and
plunged actively into the business of the
day. His stomach was overloaded and
the result was only what might have
been expected
Were there any symptoms of apo.
plexv"
Not the faintest," replied the doctor.
There was nothing in Mr.. Blaine's
condition showing that he suffered from
any other ailment than the indigestion
and nausea which | have described. 1t
is possible that man disposed to apo
plexy might bring on an attack through
violent fit of vomiting, but there was
no connection in the present case be-
tween the condition of the stomach and
an apoplectic state. The rapidity with
which Mr.. Blaine recovered from the at
tack shows that he is in good physica
condition and that had he been more
cautious in regardto hiseating, he would
have had no trouble whatever"

ccllent likeness. He was born at Augusta,
Ca, in 1916, was student at the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania, and in 1888 was
graduated at West Point. His first ap-
pointmcnt was in the artillery. In 1887
he was transferred to the Corps of Engi-
neers. His ability as an engineer was
marked from the beginning and gave him
very honorable and responsible work.
In 1861, on May Is, he was made
Quartermaster- General of the United
States army, with the rank of Bigadicr-
General. He was brevetted Major-Gen-
eral on July 5, 1864. General Meigs
held his distinguished office until 1882,
when he retired, He made the plans for
the new Pension Bureau building, Wash
lngton, was regent of the Smithsonian
Institution, and a member of the various
other societies, including the National
Academy of Sciences.

A PR ATE.
a Slick Scheme to SwIndle the
Wood Buyer.

Again the wood pirate is abroad. He
fixes" his loads on the lot next to Zion
church on College street, His wood is
partly in the regulation cord lengths and
then some in lengths six feet shorter,
and when his victim pays for what
he supposes an honest load one-third is
of the shorter lengths. A block of wood
six or eight inches thick is laid across the
wagon between the front standards, and
the cord lengths are piled in. The pirate
gets in his fine work now at the rear.
As the load is built up he lays the short
pieces into the spaces between each pair
of long sticks, and when his job is fin
ished the rear end the point of view for
most buyers is a temptation. The bar
gain hunter snaps up what seems to be a
Dustin big load of wood, and the pirate
pockets his silver and bats for another
sucker.

A Terrible Explosion Choking
Up The Mouth of The SHAFT So
That There Was No Escape For
the Mincrs-Ten Bodies RecOv-
The Oskaloosa herald. (Oskaloosa, Mahaska County, Iowa) 1885-1919, 1892-04-07

Senator Parrott writes to his paper
the following facts about the soldiers
cottages at the home: "The expert
ment of erecting cottages at the sol.
dierS' home for the purpose Of enabling
old soldiers and their wives to live to-
gether will be tried on a small scale.
A bill has passed both houses provid-
ing for the erection of ten cottages, the
cost not to exceed $500 each. There is
good deal of difference of opinion as
to whether this would be wise move.
The original bill made no limitation as
to the length of the married life Of the
couple, and it was argued that it
would be temptation for the inmates
OF the home to be hunting up wives
for the state to support; but that was
overcome by adding a proviso to the
bill requiring applicants for cottage
privileges to show that they were mar
ried previous to 1872. In many cases
nov an old soldier, to get the benefit Of
the home, has TO separate himself from
his wife, compelling her to "board
round" among relatives, or be sup
ported by the county, or grand army
posts, and this has stimulated the cot
tage idea, and il 1t works well under
the two years trial, future legislatures
will have to increase the number OF
cottages"

THE LEGISLATURE.

After one Of the shortest sessions Of
many years the Iowa Legislature ad
jOurned on Wednesday, and it has tC
its record the adoption of many good
laws, some not so good, and none that
are vicious. 1t killed. some very bad
measures, and some very good ones
died between the two houses-those
that are more notable being the pro-
posed change in the assessment laws
the taxation Of mortgages, and the
state board Of control for public insti-
tutiOns.
The most notable change will come
in the modified Australian ballot law,
and about which there will ensue much
speculative discussion. 1t will prove
immensely expensive, and will hardly
contribute to the public good anything
not now enjoyed by present law. 1t
has some good things about it, but
they are not worth the hundred thous-
and dollars that ths law will cost
above all other expense.
The twenty-fourth assem- bly, will 20
on record as an earnest body of men,
and one that tried to accomplish
much for the public good. 1t was
conservative, and not given to cranki-
ness, and its work will stand a fair
to t Of public judgment.
