MEET DEATH IN A MINE.
Seven Men Killed and Many Injured b.
an Explosion at Golfers, w. va.

Seven Men Killed and Many Injured by
an Explosion at Golfers, w. Va.
A most appalling mine disaster occur
red Tuesday shortly after noon at the
Blanch coal mines on the Panhandle
Railroad at Golfers Station, w. Va.
A new miner, an Italian, put off an over
charge blast, which ignited the coal dust
in the mine and fearful explosion fol-
lowed, carrying death and destruction in
its path. There were forty eight men in
the mine at the time and seven are known
to be dead.
After the explosion there was q terrific
whirlwind in the mine, carrying every
thing before it. Miners Donnelly and
Roony were in the mine some distance
from and going toward the mouth. The
force of the explosion drove them nearly
100 yards out of the mouth Of the mine
and landed Roony on the railroad track
killing him instantly. Donnelly landed
in a gully, striking his head against a
post. His brains were dashed out and
scattered for yards around. His wife
was the first to find him, and she swooned
away. There is little hope that she will
recover.
The news Of the disaster quickly spread,
and in q few moments hundreds of people
were crowded about the mouth of the
mine. Many heart-renderirg scenes were
enacted. The wives and children of the
miners were frantic and s'rong men were
overcome. In short time rescuing
party was organized and went into the
mines after the bodies. Prosecuting A.
torney Cotton and Coroner Walkinskaw
Of Wellsburg were soon on the ground
and took charge of the bodies. They will
conduct rigid investigation. This is the
second accident of the kind which las

the help offered in Doctor Pierce's Fa-
