AT LEGGETT'S CREEK NINE.
Miners Arc to Return to Work There
TODAY.

After several weeks of idleness, work
will be resumed today at the Leggett's s
Creek mine, although the coal still
continues to squeeze. The mine Off
cials say the danger has ceased.
During the past few weeks large falls
of rock have taken place in different
portions of the mine and large quanti-
ties of gas had accumulated. After
much hard work the gas has been ex-
PEELED. The mules. that had been taken
from the shaft, were lowered yester-
day.
While the mine was shut down the
majority of the men who had worked
there were unemployed and the news
that work would be resumed created
a great deal of joy in the northern Sec
tion Of the city.

MOSCOW'S AWFUL TRAGEDY.
Over 1900 Persons Believed to Have
Been Killed.

Although the official report places the
number of those killed in the disaster on
the Khodynski Plain at Moscow, as tele-
graphed to The Star. at LBS, it is highly
probable that the exact number OF victims
will never be known. The vice mayor
reckons that 1886 persons were killed and
2S6 seriously, perhaps fatally, injured. The
official accounts, however do not include
many dead and injured who We're removed
by friends.
The following description Of the plain af-
ter the panic has been telegraphed by the
New York Herald's Moscow CORRESPONDENT;
l visited the scene later in the day The
ground was strewn with boots, broken
sticks and umbrellas, and large wagons
were still being filled with the dead In
some cases relatives were pleading to be
allowed to accompany the corpses One
man actually allowed himself to be shut
In with them. The scene resembles a bat
tlefield. On almost every body money had
been laid, according to the Russian Gus
tom, and on some were pieces of paper
bearing name. On the chest of one man
OF superior appearance was a photograph.
Many relatives Of the victims sat among
the dead waiiing lamentations or looking
stoically into space, and many sat thus
throughout the night and until the bodies
were removed this morning.
Scene In the Burial Ground,
Investigation shows that there have been
about as many women as male victims.
Some of the men were giants in stature;
some were Nero youths. The scene at the
burial ground today was appalling The
dead were laid in long rows and hundreds
Of moujiks were working though for
life, excavating huge trenches, extending
nearly the entire length of the church
yard. Hundreds were buried during the
night, but today the hillside was still COW
cred with rough collins. Everywhere stood
groups from which came the low wailins
chant which the Russian peasants sing over
the dead. In one spot stood a big water
ing cart. Male and female dead We're being
washed by their relatives there in the omen
field. Around a long table sat a score of
clerks writing orders for collins Hundreds
of bodies, however. are unrecognized, and
these will be placed side by side in trenches

National League Ball Players Cir
culnting "a Subscription Paper.
From the New York Journal.
IT was learned from reliable source YES
terday that in the event of President
Freedman refusing to sign Rusie at the
latters terms, his salary will be paid by
his friends in the profession. Several we'll
known ball players, who are in sympathy
with the big Hoosier twirler, and who are
under the impression that Mr.. Freedman is
stretching the thing too far, have started
popular subscription among the PLAYERS
of the National League. No specified sum
IS asked for, but any player desiring to
contribute his share can do So
One of the players at the head of the
movement said yesterday:
RuSie's case has attracted considerable
attention among the players in the Nation
al League. Those who were in the league
when the brotherhood was organized can
readily understand the position Amos Is in
ne new players naturally want to be right
IN line, as many of them have already felt
the power OF the magnates, and they are
willing to help Amos out.
'Of course, this action on our part does
not mean that the players are going to re-
volt and try TO give the league another bat
tie, but it is done in good spirit and to
eSch other when We think we are In the
right. Amos might be wrong in the stand
ne has taken, but nevertheless he will re-
celVe the support of the players until it is
clearly proven that his is a case Of stub

Standing of the Clubs,

The Senators will have very hard prob

clever group of players representing Cleve-
land being their opponents, but local en-
thusiasts believe the solution will be per-
fectly satisfactory to all concerned The
Spiders are fresh from series of hard
games with Boston, winning and losing
one ard playing a twelve-innfng tie. There
Is no question as to the playing ability of
the Clevelands and also their fighting abil-
ity, but 1t is just such clubs that the SEN
ators are liable to win from. The Cleve-
lands are at the head of the list and play

thrown them down before and may do the

about due for the visitors. Pat Tebeau

THE ST. LOUIS CYCLONE.
Park Commissioner Ridgeley Men,
lions Some of the Incidents.

ItluBe1ey Mcn-
lions Some of the Incidents.
Capt Frank L. Ridgeley, one Of the park
commissioners Of St. Louis. was in the city
this morning on his way to Annapolis to
attend the commencement exercises there.
Captain Ridgeley left St. Louis on satur-
day. three days after the cyclone. To a
Star reporter this morning he said: IT can
not speak too highly of the work of Mayor
Walbridge. 1t was but short time after
the storm before he got together the heads
of the street and health departments and
put them to work. He Is a hard worker.
and it will not be long before he will have
St. Louis in as fine condition as before the
terrible storm.
ANY incidents Of the storm? Yes, thou
sards of them, but they were SO frequent
that they became common. The anxiety
felt throughout the city few hours after
the storm was heartrending. I have a
friend who went to his home in North St.
Louis and found his family away. The
storm had not done his home any harm,
but he was worried about his family. He
went to the home of his mother-in-law to
see If lis family was there. He found the
house demolished. He was wild for hours
until somebody told him that his family
was safe. There were thousands Of other
cases just like this. except that there was
u.cre sadness connected with some Of them
Searchers found members of their families
dc ad and injured instead of safe.
1.-THE storm disabuses our minds of the
idea that q city has immunity from a cy-
clcne because of Its big strong buildings.
It's not the velocity Of the wind that does
damage, but the whirlwinds, which tear
and twist"
Mr.. Ridgeley said that the damage to the
.Eads bridge was about 100000, and that
President Walsh Of the bridge company
had gone to work Immediately to repair
this damage. Trains were now running
over the bridge and traffic had been re-
stored.
