Many Miners Confined in
the Burning Mine.
Whole Town Shaken by the
Terrific Explosion.
Several of the WOrkmen Escaped
From the Pit.
The Work Of Rescue Is Dangerous Be-
cause Of Fire.

CARDIFF, Jar. 27.--A terrible explosion
has taken place IN a colliery at r~ylerstown,
near this place. The shafts were scattered
and the whole town was shaken by the
tremendous concussion, causing a scene
of wild excitement. Fity-four miners were
below the surface when the explosion
took place, and although several OF them
have reached the surface with the dead
body OF one OF their companions, 1t is
supposed that nearly all the remainder
were killed.
Rescue parties have been hurried 70 the
scene, but their work is very dangerous,
owing to the fact that the pit IS on fire.
Later advices show that ~ bodies have
been recovered from the o~olliery and that
IL are still missing. The after-damp was
carried to the connecting pits from the
Tylerstown pit. Fifteen bodies have been
recovered this afternoon and AZ miners
are now said to be missing.

and several coal cars slid out into the
dock.
No estimate of the loss to the railroad
company which controls and operates
this immense coal wharf has yet been
made by the officials, but the cost OF
dredging out the debris ana the building is
roughly placed st 5000 mud besides that
must be reckoned the loss which the cur
failing of the facilities Tor handling coal
viii involve. The entire south side OF
the pier is rendered unsafe for use and
that means that four sections of railroad
track must remain idle until the damage
is repaired, and all the big coal barges
must be unloeded on the north side.
The part of the pier which cola psed was
built about 20 years ago. Plies were
driven deep into tie riyer bed and their
tops covered with heavy ~planking and
on this were placed seven feet of dirt,
the whole structure making a long, mar
row peninsula fitting out into the harbor
from the East Providence shore. The big
coal pockets are in the center and on
either side are what ia known as the
north and south piers, with four or five
lines OF track for the long coal trains on
each.
The south side is exposed TO the full
bruut OF the waves aud every storm has
had more or less effect in Weakening the
structure. The spiles were weak aud
some of them decayed and the abutment
of solid masonry on the outer side, capped
with heavy timber, could not hold In
check the mass of EARTH on its totte-ing
support aud settling more and more
every day with the weight OF the heavily
loaded cars.
The unusually high tides OF this winter
were probably the direct cause OF the col
lapse and the storm OF Friday completed
the work, for on Saturday the outer wall
was cracked and bulyei out several feet.
The workmen knew then that it was
only n matter OF q few hours before a part
OF the pier would go and all the trains
were hauled of TO what was considered
a safe distance. Three empty cars, how
ever, were lett too near the weak point
aud they went Ia with the rest.
The lower end OF the brake is within
about one hundred feet OF the extremity
Of the pier, the latter section being OF com
paratively recent construction and re-
NAMED intact although the heavy timbers
and iron traces connecting thUtvU purts
were snapped of like ~toothpicks.
The crash was plainly heard Sunday
night on watchemoket square and in a
few minutes there was the usual crowd OF
sightreers hurrying TO the pier.

VALUABLE BOOK COLLECTION.
The Tank Books May Play a Prominent
Part In Politics.

MADISON, Wiz, Jan. "a. The Tank col
lection of books in the Dutch language.
one of the richest possessions OF the state
Historical Society library, appears de-
signed to play a considerable part In the
deliberation o: the Venezuelan commits
sion. Hon. Andrew ID. White, one OF the
commissioners, a week ago., wrote to
President Adams Of the State University,
asking him to search the Tank collection
for any historical works or aliases bearing
upon the boundaries of old Dutch Guiana.
An examination of the books In this de-
partment reveals the presence here of
several which bear authoritative conten-
porary testimony as to the extent Of tho
Dutch claims in Guina to which England
succeeded in 1908. A translator and
draughtsman are now busy extracting this
information for the commission, and 1t
IS not impossible that ono or more men,
bers OF the body may visit Madison to
examine the evidence on the spot.

company in exchange for their interests.
Merritt, in his original bill, charged that
be and his partners were inveigled i,to
the deal by the fraudulent representations
OF Rockefeller as to the value Of the
properties be controlled. He alleges that
Rockefeller represented his mines to be
in a prosperous, dividend paying condi-
ton, whereas the contrary was the case;
that while Rockefeller agreed to the valu-
alton of $40, 500, 600 on the Merritt prop
critics, they were really worth between
so, 900, coo and s14, 600, 900, and that they
subsequently, discovered that while they
yielded their interest for stock in the
Consolidated company, Rockefeller re-
=iained for his part bonds securing by first
mortgage to the value of "a, 600, 900 on
the properties TO which the stock held by
the Merritts were subject.

AN AMERICAN COUNT.
Disbelief In His Death In the Transvaal
Disturbance.

CINCINNATI, o., Jan. 2Z.-"Count'
Charles L. De Garmo, who was reported
killed recently at Johannesburg, in the
Transvaal, in one Of the battles, used to
live in C%ovington, KY. His brother, $.
&. De Garmo. teller Of the Northern
Bank in Covington, does not believe he
was killed. His reason for this disbelief
is that he received a letter from. Charles
y. De Gnrmo dated Dec. 8, 1895, at Del
agoa bay, announcing the intention Of
the latter to sal! for Egypt at once to
spend the winter at Cairo. He believes
Charles went to Cairo.
How he got the title Of count is a
matter of conjecture. IL may have been
assumed and IL may have been applied
by others. He is director OF n pure food
exposition that was to nave been given
in johannesburg in December, but which
was postponed till April IN account of bos-
Utilities. Charles DE Garmo was the origi-
nator OF card advertising in street cars
and was also a leader in pure food expo
sitjons in the United States.

Steamer ST. Paul Still Fast in New Jer-
Sey Sand.


sey Sand.
SANDY HOOK, n. j., Jan. 27.-Captain
Mulfgan, OF the life saving station at
Monmouth Beach, reports this morning
no change in position Of steamer st. Paul.
One lighter load OF cargo was sent TO New
York last night. Other lighters are en-
gagged In getting out the remainder Of the
cargo.
Four tugs made a strong effort to re-
lease the ct Paul at high tide this morn
ing, but were rnsuocessful. The vessel
lies in the same position as yesterday.
There Will probably be little Roadway
made by the Merritt and Chapman COM
panies until the wind changes. CAPTAINS
Wsrdell and M~ulligan of the Monmouth
Beach and Takanasee Lake life saving
stations both agree in saying tina it will
require the ala Of an easterly or south
essterly breeze OF some 30 knots velocity,
together with a strong sea, combined
with the efforts of the tugs and the help
Of the kedge anchors, 10 get the steamer
off. The wind Is stronger than ii was
yesterday, but the water is almost smooth
and no difficulty Is experienced by the
hoatmep In launching their surt-boats
and getting out to the ship. The work
Of tightening the ship goes steadily on
since yesterday morning. The lighters have
been busy at the steamers starboard side
and all through the night the men were
busily engaged In transferring boxes and
bales OF goods, from the steamers hold TO
tugs which were in waiting to bring the
cargo TO New York.
President c. A. Griscom of the Inter
national Navigation Company and his
son remained aboard the steamer st.
Paul all night. They came ashore his
morning accompanied by Port Captain
Shackford and General Freight Agent
Bittel.
President Griscom raid that ne had
made careful inquiries regarding the
accident and reiterated the statement
he made yesterday as to his confidence i'm
Captain Jameson.

a statement which ! am not at liberty &c
make. but it satisfied me that he is not to

days, but at present ! do not care to say
any more about IL. / am perfectly satis-
fed that the ship will tie brought off all
right as i have the utmost confidence
in the ability of the wrecking com
panies."
Rumors are rife among the teach comb
ers that the ship is lying among sub
merged rocks, and when Mr.. Griscom
was asked about this he replied: "well,
! have always found that some people
know moro than Others. AS far as / know
there are no rocks there. As | have al
ready said, / have no fears for the safety
OF the vessel"
The lighters are busily at work taking
of the cargo ana about 100 alongshore.
men, who were sent down from New
York, are as busy as beavers tightening
the steamer a tug was moored at the
ST. Paul's port side and unstripped all the
port davits. The life boats on the star
board side were lowered this morning
and towed over to one of the tugs where
they were slowed away.

been with its father six months before
the accident and he could not be held
responsible for negligence and that there
was no estimony To the effect that the
driver was not as careful as he should
have been.
Judge Rogers denied the motion for a
non-suit.
Before Judge Wilbur and a jury was
tried today the suit of Edward Quinlan Of
P~awtucket against Jesse A. Fairbrother
and Frank M. Burrows, administrator
on the estate of Lewis Fairbrother, de-
ceased.
The plaintiff testified that on Feb. 3,
1892, he was i'm the employ of the Fair
brother Betting Company of Pawtuck ct
and was hired as a leather inisher. On
the day in question he was ordered to put
floor and then walk TO the ground floor
to emove them.
He did so and stepped into the elevator
well to ease the shipper to bring the
elevator down and he was struck in some
manner by the elevator and rendered un-
conscious. He claimed that since the ac-
cident he had been unable to work and
has suffered from a sore back, aches in
the head and other injuries received.
! In cross examination be denies that he
knew the rope holding the elevator, the
bad condition OF which is alleged TO have
been the cause of the accident, was old
and worn. He also denied having been
told by Mr.. F~airtrother That he had bet
ter be careful OF II. lie said, however.
the rope never was in good condition.
Witness said in answer to questions by
Mr.. Gardner that be had never been sub
ject to rheumatism, had not fallen down
stairs just previous ID the accident, nor
had he been troubled with running sore
on one OF his legs.
Mr.. Quinlan seem TO explain Ia a clear
manner TIE way the elevator was built so
his counsel, Mr.. Owen, asked that the
jury take a view OF the premises and the
court granted the request.
WATSON DISCHARGED.
A final order was entered in the appel
late division of the Supreme Court today
directing that Francis c. Watson OF Hop
kinton, who was serving a four-years'
