OVER ONE HUNDRED PERSONS PERISH.


SOUTH MCALLIsTER, l. T.. Jan. -
The horrors Of the Diamond disaster at
Braidwood, H.. about five years ago
were re-enacted here Thursday night
and yesterday, except that in this in
stance fire instead of food was the in
strument of destruction. As the
miners were preparing TO leave shaft
No. Il, located at Krebs, |. T., five
miles from here, operated by the
Usage Coal and Mining company at
5;04 Thursday evening. a terrific ex-
plosion occurred, spreading death
among the 400 or more miners at
work 1t is impossible 10 obtain any
accurate information as to the number
of lives lost or persons injured but it
is known that at least 100 men are en-
toned in the mine and il IS only pos
sible to ascertain their number by
canvass from house TO house. which
is being made by u committee APP
pointed for the purpose. It is gener-
ally conceded that the dead viii num-
Der closely to 100 and the injured
about rs many more a great many Of
whom have no prospect Of recovery.
The recognized dead so far recovered
are: George Lindsey, Sr.. George
Lindsey, Jr. William Russell, Mike
Jacomo, Ted Blondon. john Sierra.

Shane, George Russell. Ted Kimole
There are many other bodies which
have not is yet been identified and
Flew ones are constantly being brought
up. The injured arc so numerous and
are scattered so widely among the vii
lage houses that the number can hard
~ be estimated. The only record that
has been kept was that Of the recog-
nizad dead. There were about 400
men at work and rs near as can be
ascertaiued about $50 of them escaped
injury, while the others are either
imprisoned or have been brought up
injured Reseucrs flock in by
thousands from the surrounding towns.
Each trip OF the cage brings to light a
new victim, whom the volunteers care
fully carry to the mine blacksmith
shop, which mas been utilized as n
temporary morgue- Crowds Of the
miners wives and children surge i'll
search OF the absent members of their
families. No arrangements have been
made yet as to funerals. The differ
ent secret organizations have posted
notices calling special meetings for to-
night when arrangements will be
made for appropriate services for TIE
dead.

is the Complainant The Ida is lying
at anchor in the channel between
Thirty-fourth and Thirty-fifth streets
and is receiving her cargo from the
barges OF tho Houston Direct Naviga-
tion company, the shippers being
Messrs. Inman G. Co Of that city.
Article pa reads as follows: That
no steamship or any other vessel shall
be allowed while anchored in the
stream in front of the wharyes be-
tween lines running north from the
shore at the foot of Forty-first street
across the channel in the west and
from the foot OF Ninth street in the
east to receive or deliver ballast or
any cargo OF any description. except
as may be hereafter provided. The
case IS a very interesting one as it
will settle the question of the legality
of craft loading or unloading in mid
stream. Many ships masters have
protested agains: the manner of load
ing the Ida.
