Motte c. H. Cantwell, u. G. Bradford, Ezra
Fell, David Ferris. DR.. g. B. Maui
dain, and C. NJ. Curtis. The meeting was
a large one. =. T. Warner stasei the OBJ
ject of the meeting AMI read extracts from
a circular that has been issued by the
Church Club Of New York asking for the or
ganization of relief societies.
There was considerable discussion about
organization, and finally committee Of five
was appointed to ominate officers. While
The elgAmRSteeg was cdnsulting Dr.. Mesro-
\ plan, ts&se q short and teleing address about
!. the coifditfon of his country. The officers
chosen were. President, e. T. Warner; vice.
president, w. K Crosby: secretary. E. T.
Canby; treasurer, George s. Capelle. The
committee recommended that an executive
committee of twenty be chosen and shat a
mass NEE ting be held 1t time to be chosen
by the committee.
There was more discussion as to the COM
position of the committee. Some wero in
favor Of having all the members from VIII
I,nington. Others ehought that some of the
members should come from points down the
/ state. 1t was finally decided that the presi-
dent should name a cdmmittee composed Of
Wilmington people and that auxiliary So
cieties should be formed throughout the
STATE, the presidents Of these societies to be
members OF the executive committee.
The Rev. George q. Hail said that he had
been unable to learn what was the real
trouble in Armenia. He would like TO
know from DR.. Mesroplan whether the
trouble was rel. glous pr political. DR.. Mes
ropian said that it was entirely religious.
The Armeniaps, he aaid, took no part in
politics. 1t was true there was society
among them, but 1t was for mutual pro-
lection.
Il He also said that the Turks were worse
than the Kurds. The latter would only rob
the Christian of hi# valuables, but the
former would rob and then murder.
F David Ferris said he would like to know
definitely how money collected would be
delivered. He knew number of kintly-
disposed persons WHO were afraid to con-
tribute for Armenian relief because they
feared the money would never reach its
destination. He was disposed to regard the
Red Cross enterprise with favor.
Dr. MesropiaD said that he had found no
difficulty IN sending money, and with all
the trouble his letters never went astray.
Ezra Fell also spoke and said that his
friends did not wish to contribute to any
thing which sayored of miiitarism.

The burial OF Miss Boyd In the family
vault In the First Presbyterian cemetery
was the first interment since her brother
was buried there three years ago. vii.
mington has now two cemeteries which are
practically filled. They are the one re.
ferred to and the Roman Catholic Gene
terry adjoining the Wilmington and Bran
dywine Cemetery.
There would be almost unanimous pro-
test against doing away with any old ceme-
terry but they should not be neglected and
allowed to remain oyergrown with weeds
The First Church cemetery because OF its
location and historical associations should
be made an ornament to the nelghborbood
and II should be made accessible to all who
would like to study the names on the tomb.

THE cUMNoCK MINE VICTIMS.
1t Is Now Known That rhirty-sevcn Men
Were Killed,

Were Killed.
RALEIGH, N. c., Dec. 2l.-It is now
known that tbirty-seven miners were killed
by the explosion at the Cumnoek NINA
The cause is still unknown. Twenty min
utes before tho accident the fro boss ro-
ported everything all right. While the
work OF rescue was going on yesterday the
mouth OF the shaft was surrounded by q
large rrowd Of people On one hand was
an old mother whose husband and sons
were buried in the bowels of the earth.
Nearby stood young wife with baby in
her arms, while brothers, sisters and rela-
tives from far and near stood around weep-
ing and wailing.
When the bodies were brought to tho
surface several were unrecognizablc The
negroes could not be distinguished from
tho white miners, all being covered with
sooty coat of coal and many having the face
and eyes burned out. DIR. Moore, tho
principal physician on tho scene, thinks
most of them died from suffocation by
firedamp, but the old miners think nearly
all were killed by the explosion. Four
fifths Of the dead were married men and
their families are left helpless and desti.
tute.
The miners who escaped alive tell thrill.
Ing tales. One man, Joseph Smith, had
reached the foot Of the main shaft when
he thought of his son, who was In thu di-
vision where the explosion occurred I Ho
rushed back into the darkness to where
the gas was burning, snatched up his son,
who had fallen into a stupor and carried
him to the foot of the shaft. Both were

MINERS BURIED ALIVE
Terrible Accident in Mine Near
Dayton, Tenn.
TwENTY-N1HE LIVES SACRIFICED.

An Explosion OF Firedamp Caused the
on tho Air and Making II Impossibie
to Reach Even tho Dead Bodies.
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Doc. 81 Twenty
nine minors lost their lives yesterday in
the Nelson mine. near Dayton, Tenn, by
an explosion OF firedamp. The explosion
was succeeded by a terrific crash, which
indicated that the roof of tho passage
which they had entered had fallen in. No
avenue Of escape was left and there Is no
possibility that any Of the men will be
found alive
Tho mine is the property Of the Dayton
Coal and Iron company. The men, both
white and colored, Including several boys,
entered the mine togo to work at o'clock
In the morning, but notidpg of the awful
catastrophe was known until II o'clock,
when the miners at entry No. 10 found
the way blocked by solid wall of coal
and slate.
The entry where the unfortunate miners
are entombed ran back more than two
miles from the mouth of the mine The
mine Ia Of tho kind common in southern
coal fields, known as a drift or level veined
mine, worked In the direction OF tho vein,
straight into the face of the mountain, but
bcAbAC bhC Chtfy fttCntu u long tlODo
extends to level several hundred yards
below, at an angle Of about twenty de-
grees Tho cars are pulled up from the
foot of the slope, where tram cars, drawn
by mules, connect with the outside by q
cable, which hauls the coal up with re-
markable rapidity.
Resculng parties worked all day and
night trying to reach them, but 1t is prob
able they will be several days forcing an
opening through the wall of the fallen
roofing, which must be made safe as they
proceed. The foul dir quickly exhautts
the workers, who are relieved by fresh
hands The work will continue day and
night till the bodies are recovered.
At tho first drift mouth hundreds of
women and children coon gathered, and the
picture Of their grief nnd despair is heart
rcnding. Mothers wrinRlng their hands,
weeping daughters and little children,
sweethearts and grandparents, all In tho
greatest distress, for they have been told
that there Is no hope. The mine Is VEN
tiiatod by air shafts or passages. The
caving in OF the wall in the entry cut off
the draught. and death was certain to
those who breathed the poisoned air.
The following is a nearly complete list
OF tho entombcd miners: Lon Ferguson.
Jack livestock, William Henderson, John
Westfleld (colorcd), John Manls, Josh
Bennett, William Alexander w. H.
Davis, Theodore Lane, VIII Lane (son of
