a
Nashville, Tenn, Dec. 2O.--A special
TO the American from Chattanooga,
says:
At least Twenty-Five miners at Day
ton, Tenn, lost their lives today in the
Nelson mine at entry No. 10, by an eX-
plosion of fire damps.
The explosion was succeeded by a
terrific crash which indicated that the
roof Of the passage through which they
had entered had fallen in. No avenue
OF escape was left. The mine is loca-
ted three miles from the town of Day
ton. The men are both white and
colOred, including several boys. They
entered the mine TO go to work at Z
O'Clock, but nothing of the awful catas-
frophe was known unail IL O'Clock, when
the drivers at the entry No. 10 found
their way blocked by a solid wall Of coal
and slate. The entry where the I'M
fortunate miners are entombed ran
back more than two miles from the
mouth Of the mine.
The mine is of the kind common in
southern coal fields, known as drift or
level veined mines, worked in the di-
Tection Of the vein, straight into the
face of the mountain, but before the en-
TRY is reached a long slope extends to
"a level several hundred yards below, at
an angle of about 20 degrees. The cars
are pulled up from the foot of the slope
where tram cars, drawn by mules, are
connected with the outside cables,
which hauls the coal up with remark
able rapidity.
Rescueing parties worked all day
like grim death, trying to force an OPP
ening through the wall of the fallen
roofing, which was made safe as they
proceeded. At the drift mouth hun
dreds of women and children soon
gathered, and the picture of their grief
and despair was heartrending. Moth
ers wringing their hands, weeping
daughters and little children, sweet
hearts and gray-headed grandparents
were all in tine greatest distress, for
they had been told that there was no
hope. The mine is ventilated by air
shafts or passages, so the caving in Of
the wall in the entry cut off the draft,
and death was certain to those who
breathed the poisoned air.
At o'clock way had been broken
Through the debris in the passage Of
entry No TO, and the blackened corpses
of the dead miners were carried 10 the
outside, where the work of identifica-
7ion began.
The number of victims, first reported
at twenty-five, has reached tWenty-nine
Life had long been extinct in all the
poor remains of humanity stretched
at the mouth of the tunnel.
Later, the reports say that the gas
WAS first ignited in No. 9 by Tom Haw-
kins, gas inspector, on his usual morn
ing round of the mines
The flames were communicated to
entry No. 10 by means of the air pass
age. All the men at work in No. 8
escaped except Hawkins.
In No. 10 which forms an angle on
the banks and connects with the out
side world at the foot Of athe lower
slope. the deadly gas drifted and con-
gested, doing its work so we'll that not
one OF the men at work in the rooms of
the cross passage is alive to tell the
story. Orrin Hawkins, one of the first
men to get out of No. 9, will also die,
making the thiptieth life sacrificed
Leech and Westfield, negroes, We're
found just outside the entry, having
fallen dead.

San FranciscO's Cand idacy.

San Francisco has set tine other can
didates for the republican national con-
vention a hot pace. Her offer of s75, 600
has induced Pittsburg to dig up OOO0,
which the Smoky City thinks is more
than equivalent to San Francisco's hid
when account is taken of the expense
of getting there. The cry is raised that
none but the wealthy could afford to
go to San Francisco. AS one Washing
ton correspondent puts It: There is
no question that Mike de Young will
have the money to make good his
promise, and that he will be authorized
to pay up the debt which still stands
against the National Committee from
the campaign of '92. But the great
distance to San Francisco and the
great length of time required to go and
come will put such bar against the
selection of the Pacific slope that there
is very little prospect of San Francis
cos success. PittsIburg will have the
support of Matt Quay, and Matt Quay
is power among the members of the
committee" Buffalo and Chicago are
also in the race, and there seems to be
an impression throughout the country
that after all is said and done Chicago
will get away with the goods.
