MUCH INTEREST
Felt BY Waterville People in the Proposed
New England League Team.

Watcrvllo. April 9.-(SpociaD. - A
number of the leading citizens of Water
vile are int rested in the suggestion that
a few of the New England League games
be scheduled for this city. The idea
would be to have such games begin here
after the college commencement in June,
and continue through the long summer
vacation. Our citizens feel that II or Is
such games would do much to break up
the monotony of the long, dull summer,
and would be Of material benefit to the
city by drawing many people to the city
from surrounding places They would
also serve to awaken an increased interest
in our national game in this section of
the State.
No move will be made. however toward
securing any part of these games until it
is ascertained whether or not the college
authorities would be willing to grant the
use of the grounds to the townspcople
during the vacation season. The Colby
university grounds are easily the best in
the State and are practically the only ones
available in this city. The authorities
Of the university have always been very
liberal in permitting the use of them by
the townspeople and it is not believed
that they would object to having few
games played upon them during the
months of July. August and the early part
of September. upon the assurance of re-
sponsible citizens that they would be kept
in first class condition and that such
games should be conducted in quiet and
orderly manner.
Much of the success of the New Eng
land League has been due to the fact that
it's exhibitions have been entirely free
from Objectionable features. It's teams
have given clean, creditable exhibitions
of the national game, and have enjoyed
the good will of the best people of the
cities where they have been located
A number of our best known citizens are
| ready to give the project of vacation games
in Watcrvillc a hearty support, if the con
dtons arc favorable, and have no doubt
but what the people of the cities further
down the Kennebec would be glad of such
cooperation, and that the games there
would also receive a considerable increase
of atten dance as a result Of it.

DETAILS ARE MEAGRE.
The Two Survivors Wonderful Escape
Searching Parties at Work.

New Whatcom, Wash, April 9-Few
details of the Blue Canon mine disaster
except those received with the first news
are to be had. Tho formation of the mine
and the story told by the two survivors
show that the breast where the explosion
occurred was a third of mile from the
entrance to the mine. The latter is q
tunnel about 800 feet, driven in from the
hillside and terminating in the main
gangway running at right angles, from
which at frequent intervals laterals were
cut in following the vein.
According to Kearns, who was work
ing in one chamber, the explosion occurred
ct the breast or working. about 1000 feet
from where the tunnel terminated In the
gangway. AS the main vertical air shaft
pierced the gangway close by the interscc-
zion of the tunnel, it but partially carried
off the poisonous vapor following the
ignition of the fire damp.
The noise of the explosion warned the
miners in the chambers to fee, and they
entered the gangway only to be overcome
by the deadly gas. The shock was slight
where kearns was working, as his lamp
was not put out, nor was he thrown down
by the conclusion. 1t is mystery that
he should have been able to pass through
the gangway to the exit passage.
The first victim the rescuers found was
on entering the gangway after traversing
the 800 feet of tunnel. A mule driver
and his beast were found dead not over
100 feet from the tunnel, and from that
point bodies were found close to the later
ais, showing how quickly the unfortu-
mates were overcome on starting for the
outer air.
The man Gellum, the only survivor be
sides Kearns thus far known, was work
ing near the entrance to the tunnel. 1t
was about the hour for the new shift to
90 on duty, and the men were already on
their way from the barracks to the tunnel
when the explosion was heard. Had they
inferred the gangway the loss of life would
doubtless have been greatly increased.
