the trunks. Tht pit clothes
were either partially or en-
tirely burned away, and in
several cases the flames had
literally roasted all the flesh
on the body. The dead were
taken to a blacksmith shop
near the main shaft, where a
morgue had been improvised
and the living to their homes.
The crowd passed between
the shaft and the blacksmith
shop all day. The battle place
was constantly crowded with
people searching to find those
whom they knew mnst either
be dead or badly hurt. The
force of the explosion was
terrific. 1t literally tore the
mine all to pieces. 1t closed
up galleries, tore down bar
ricades, which kept the air
from circulating ely
through the unused portion
OF the mine, cutting off all
the air from the galleries left
them. AS was supposed none
escaped with the exception
of those brought up from the
entrance, or by shaft No. Z.
This morning the relief party
of Krebcs mixers were com
PEELED, after 4 8 hours Of
steady labor, to stop. Three
car loads OF mules were in the
mine when the explosion oc-
Cured, and strange to say
only.two animals were hurt.
The boss driver was killed.
The frenzied brutes commit
ted great damage in their ef-
forts to find an outlet. Min
ing experts say theexplosion
, due to two circumstances,
The blast was overcharged
and it was fired % minutes

|, the miners going off duty had
: left the mine. IT should have
been fired at $50. At that
time the loss of life would not
have been only half a dozen,
although the wreck would
. have been extensive.

KANSAS CITY, Jun. IA
special to the Star from Nc
Allister says the excitement,
intensified almost to insani-
ty, because Of the mine explo
sion, shows no abatement.
All day yesterday and today
5000 people were around the
shaft of the mine. Up to 2
O'Clock this morning forty
eight dead bodies had been
taken out of the mine and
100 injured, fifteen OF whom
died before daybreak. The
remaining eishty-fve miners
are lying at their homes
swa thed in cotton and vasa-
line up to their eyes, with
their eyebrows, hair and fin
ger nails burned off and cook
ed fe,h dropping from their
bones. This morning the
company ordered sixty-fve
cotfins and local undertakers
ordered a car load. All the
mines in the vicinity have
shut down and the miners
and women of the families
are at Krebe to aid the work
of rescue. The wives, sisters
and mothers are performing
the offices for the dead and
relieving the suffering Of the
wounded. Men of allnation-
alities are aiding in the work
of rescue. Americans, Irish
men, Scotchman, Polanders,
Welshmen, Italians, Swedes,
and all but negroes, are at
work. Sometime since the
white miners refused to work
with negroes. This morning
a number OF negroes went
to Krebes and assisted in the
work in only a half-handed
way. One of their number
was heard to say that il
served the miners right tc

WASHINGTON LETTER
From our Regular Correspondent.

It is q matter for congrat-
ulation that Speaker Crisp is
rapidly recovering. Hiscon-
tinued illness is becoming
very embarrassing to t h e
democratic majority in the
House, as there is a natural
hesitation among those who
are capable Of directing the.
policy Of the party, about
assuming a function that be-
longs properly to the Speak
er; consequently there has
been some confusion, which
thoughtless people have ta-
ken for dissentation, and re-
publican newspapers have
mot been slow to exaggerate
this idea, and sore demo
Gratis, fortunately very fewin
number, have allowed them
selves to fall into the error OF
believing such statements to
be the truth.
1t is probable that had not
Mr.. Crisp been stricken down,
a democratic caucus would
have been held before this, at
which the general policy to
be pursued by the majority
of the House during the ses-
5 sion would have been mapped
} out a n d some agreement
) reached as to who should as
i snme the leadership Of the
!. House on the floor. but it
has not been thought advis-
able to hold this caucus in
the absence OF Speaker Crisp.
While II is not probable that
{ Mr.. Crisp will be strong
enough to preside over the
II House duringthis week, yet
. he is already well enough to
e confer with his colleagues
! I and the prediction is made
that all cause of complaint
will shortly disappear and
that the democratic MAORI.
ty will get down to work with
unanimity to carry out the
policy upon which it was elet

ing a conference here, against
committing the Alliance to
the third party movement,
has excited much comment
here.
Mr.. Blaine is again having
a rocky time Of it, between
the attempt Of the Chilians
to wriggle out Of making an
apology to the UnitedStates
and of the Harrison crowd
70 make his health a nation
al bugaboo. He is also hav-
inp trouble with Mr.. Harri-'
son and the Cabinet over the
question of granting the Mex
lean governmentthe right to
send troops into the United
st tes after Cara, who is
said to be backed by Boss
Shepherd OF Washington no.
toriety, andother Americans.
Mr.. Blaine alone opposes al
loving Mexican troops to
cross the border.
Chairman Tillman, OF the
House &C mmittee OF fPatents,
appears to be ths right man
in the right place. he has
been studying the complaints
of .the successful inventors
against the irresponsible par
ties who make a practice o.
wilfuly Infringing patents
knowing that the inventor
can collect no damages from
them, no matter how much
the courts may decree, and
he has become convinced that
they are too true, The rem
edy is in adopting a law that
will make the Shful infringel
Of a patent liable to a crimi'

prospect of a striped suit be
fore them there will be a large

Roan's Greek, Tennessee, Johnson Co.
Editor DEMOCRAT:
Perhaps a few items from
this community would be ap.
preciat ted by the many read
ers Of your paper The Val
ley Of Roan's Creek is a fer
tile strip OF land lying be-
tween the mountains, t h e
Stone aud the Doe. The far
.mers are happy and content
ed and have about all the
necessaries, and some OF the
luxuries, Of life. A poet once
wrote of this Valley:
"Thy fertile fields spread far and
wide,
And hills arise on every side;
And built onrocky pillows strong
They stretch in ranges far along,
And peaks rise up where thun-
ders loud
Rattles down from the angry
cloud"
The Baptist church at Pleas
ant Grove seems to be in a
aourishing condition. A Sc
ries of meetings just closed
at that church which contin-
ued for two weeks and result
ted in four additions to the
church and much other appa
rent good. Rev. j. l.. Sher-
wood, the pastor, was aided
by Rev. E. F. Jones, also
Rev. j. F. Davis preached sew
rral interesting and logical
sermons. But Jones did most
OF t h e preaching. His SER
mons were very acceptable,
and many of them very able.
! Bro. Jones is a progressive
man and is improving all the
time. His distinct and clear
expression; his clear and mel
low voice make his hearers
feel easy and comfortable.
His beautiful smiles and his
flights OF eloqnence are very
impressive and very touch
ing; often lifting his congre-
cation into a realm of sweet
rapture. All these attain
ments in connection with his
! sound and solid gospel doc
tl'ine make him a minister

prec;ated by the Baptist de-
