CHATTANOOGA CTennl. Dec o.
Twenty-four miners lost their lives to-
day in the Nelson Mine, No. 10. near
Dayton, Tenn, by an explosion of fire
| damp. The explosion was succeeded
by terrific crash. which Indicated thar

they had entered had fallen in. No ave

ing several boys, who entered the mine
to go TO work at : o'clock this morning.
but nothing of the awful catastrophe
was known until : O'Clock. when the
drivers going into the entry found their
progress blocked by u solid wall of slate
and coal.
The Nelson Mine has been worked for
twelve years or more, and the entry
where the unfortunate miners are en-
tCmbed ran back for more than two
miles from the mouth OF the mine The
cars are pulled up from the foot of the
slope, where tram cars drawn by mules
connect with il 20 the outside with q
cable which hauls the coal
Rescuing parties have been working
vigorously all day trying to reach the
miners, but it is probable that they will
be several days forcing an opening
| through the wall of fallen roofing,
which must be made safe as they pro-
ceed. The foul air quickly exhausts the
workmen, who are relieved by fresh
hands.
At the drift mouth hundreds Of
| women and children soon arrived. and
all are in the greatest distress, for they
| have been told that there is no hope for
the recovery of their relatives and
friends who are entombed. The mine is
ventilated by air shafts or passages, SO
the caVing in of the wall in the entry
has cut off the draft and made death
certain to those VINO bTeathed the poi

Later-Latest details and corrected
accounts of the Dayton mine disaster
say way has been broken through the
debris in the passage of the entry, and
the blackened corpses of the dead min
ers were carried out, where the work of
Identification began. The number of
victims, first reported at twenty y-five,
has reached twentynine.

PosToFFICE ROBBERS.
Two Important Arrests Made by q
United states Marshal.

DENVER (COlo), Dec. 20.-United
States Marshal Israel made two i'm
portant arrests yesterday, and the
postal authorities now are sure they
have at length secured all the evidence
necessary to cause the arrest of more
members of one of the cleverest gangs
of Postoffice robbers ever known in this
country. The two prisoners are secure
ly confined where no one can get to
them, and the nature of their crime is
not known even to the jailers.
These two prisoners are man and wife,
of Hebraic extraction, who have for
some time been trying to sell large
punches of postage stamps at dis
count. When arrested in their humble
home several hundred dollars worth of
stamps were found on their person and
hidden away in the house. One pack
age was found that had recently come
from Omaha, and letter accompanied
il giving the address of the sender of
the stamps. Officers set off for Omaha
without a moment s delay, expecting to
secretly capture two other members of
the gang, and then they are to proceed
to Chicago to round up the remainder.
Some time ago the Springfield, ILL.,,
PoStOffice was robbed of several thou
sand dollars worth of stamps, and the
postal authorities have until now failed
to locate the perpetrators of the deed,
although the department It Washing
ton has been stirring up the inspectors
all over the country to do their utmost
to stop this gang. 1t appears that they
have been systematically robblng Post
offices all over the West and Mississippi
Valley States for many months. That
they successfully disposed of their
plumber indicates the Importance of this
capture.
The officers alb Alutely refuse to talk
of the two arrests made here, and were
considerably disturbed when they
learned late tonight that the story had
leaked out

The Code Commissioner Stricken With
Paralysis.


SAN FRANCISCO, Dec 20.-F. J.
Baldwin, Code Commissioner and ex-
Superior Judge of San Joaquin County
was stricken with paralysis about 10
o'clock this morning. At late hour
this evening he had regained conscious
ness and his condition, which was at
first considered by the physicians in at
tendance as serious in the extreme, is
much improved.
Judge Baldwin was walking along on
Market street in front of the Palace
Hotel when the stroke came and he fell
to the ground. Senator VOORHEES, of
Amador County ruched to his assist
ance, and the stricken urist was carried
to his rooms within the hosiery, and
physicians were hastily summoned
During the afternoon the sick man be-
gan to rally, and this evening it was
stated that he was much improved.
Mrs. Baldwin said tonight that the
Judge had been a good deal worried
about business and other matters lat
terly. He was attorney during the two
early trials of NJ. d. Howell in the noted
counterfeiting case, and was greatly in
terested in Howell'S acquittal.
The attending physician says the pa
ralysis he thinks, was caused from
overWork and indigestion.
