Fifty Miners Caught in g Burning
Mine
Four Lose Their Lives-Many Others Arc
Prostrsted by Heat and Smoke
Supposed to be the Work
of Incendiaries.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, June 2l-flre was
discovered in the coal mines of the
Mary Lee Coal and Railway company
at Lewisburg, 10 miles from this city,
at o'clock yesterday afternoon. The
fire broke out 400 feet from the opening
of the mine. One hundred men were
at work in the mine at the time, so Of
them being beyond the fire. Their
only way of escape was through the
flames and smoke. Up to late hour
last night four dead bodies had been
recovered, and many of those taken
out alive were Frustrated from suffoca-
ton. The dead are as follows:
John Whalen, superintendent of the
Mary Lee Coal and Railway company's
mines, leaves wife and several chill
dren.
G. w. Baskins; miner, aged about 40.
leaves family.
VIM. Mckenzie, aged years, and an
unknown white man whose body has
not yet been identified. ~,
When it became known that the
mine was on fire, the so imprisoned
men began making efforts to escape.
The greater part of them were loaded
in the tram cars which were drawn
through the flames and smoke by the
means of wire cables as rapidly as pos
sible. The others took their chances in
making dash through the smoke.
Some got out alive while others were
less fortunate and fell victims to the
SIN oke and fire.
The work of rescuing went on for
several hours and by dark every man
who was alive had been taken out
of the mines. Many Of those brought
out i'll the tram cars were suffocated,
as the cars had, of necessity, to be
drawn through the smoke that filled
the mime. A number of physicians
were at the mouth of the mine, as were
also the entire population Of the town
of Lewisburg. Mothers, wives and
children were wild with grief, and it
was with the greatest difficulty that
they were restrained from dashing into
the burning mine in an effort to rescue
their loved ones. AS rapidly as the
suffocated miners were brought out
they we're taken in hand by the ply
sicians and efforts made to revive them.
1t IS belle VeQ ChaJ all Lle men nave
been accounted for, though later inves-
LEGATIONS may show further fatali-
ties. -
The owners of the mine are positive
that il was set on fire. This mine had
recently started up with new labor,
having been closed down previous to
that on account of the strike. There
is no clue as to the incendiaries. The
fire in the mine is still raging at furi-
GUS rate: The fire department. from
Birmingham has been Sent to the place
to assist in fighting the flames.
The fire began in a lot Of refuse coal,
where no work was being done. 1t
was directly in the mainway, and had
not one Of the men working in the mine
discovered it before it gained Roadway,
not one of the SO miners would have es-
capped alive. The early discovery of the
flames enabled many to escape by rum
ming through the smoke. Those work
ing far back in the mine were notified
as quickly as possible, but when they
arrived at the fire they could not pass,
and it was then that they were loaded
in tram cars and drawn through the
SIN Oke and flames.

what do you think of a woman who
was the owner of eighty nine dresses
of the very finest of silk, velvet and
other expensive dress goods, one hun
dred and six skirts of every conceiv-
able texture and fabric, one hundred
and fourteen pairs Of silk hose, nine
teen rich and costly shawls, and under
garments of the finest linen by the
trunkful, and yet had never worn a
single one Of these dresses, skirts,
shawls, undergarments, Or pairs OF
hose,'' said well-known woman to a
Boston Herald man. lit seems incred-
ible, but these things were some of The
articles of wearing apparel that be-
longed to Miss Johanna Farnham, Of
Milton, N. H., although no one ever
knew it but herself until she died. She
wore the cheapest clothing all her life,
and her common remark was that she
had nothing to wear. ..-
'sMiss Farnham was eighty years old
when she died. Although she went
from Milton to Boston when she was a
young girl and lived there until her
death, she always called Milton her
home. She was for years an employee
of Boston hotels and made no intimate
acquaintance. When she died it was
not known that she had even enough
to give her more than decent burial,
but in her, old trunk in her room at the
hotel were found five thousand dollars
in gold securities, bank book showing
that she had nearly two thousand dol
lars on deposit in a savings bank, and
a key wrapped in a piece Of paper, On
the paper was written: This key will
unlock g. trunk in my Cousin AIMS
house in Milton The trunk was found
there and the key unlocked it. It was
packed full Of such things as have
mentioned and contained another key
wrapped in paper, with information
on the paper that this key would un-
lock another trunk at another place.
That trunk was found with a like re-
suit, with third key for third trunk
in still another place. This went on
until twenty large trunks belonging
to the eccentric dead woman had been
found. Besides the wearing apparel
spoken of, valuable chinaware, jewel
~ and silverware, large quantities Of
the very finest table and bed linen, the
best English table cutlery and many
pieces of bric-a-brac were found in the
trunks. This precious storage made a
load that it took two yoke of oxen to
haul out Of Milton. Miss Farnham's
heirs agreed to sell the whole Of these
valuables by auction in Boston, and
they netted more than ten thousand
dollars nowhere near their actual
value"
