EXPLOSION OF GAS
IN A COAL MINE
Injured Five Miners at Zeneida
Yesterday Morning.
MINE FOREMAN KINSTLER
And Four Negro Miners were Burned,
Though None Seriously-Gas WasU
Being Famed Out When q Man
Approached With Lamp.

Yesterday morning about o'clock an ex-
plosion of gas 1000 feet down in the coal
mine at Zeneida, station on the Louis
Birmingham, came near working disastrous
results.
Mine Foreman w. ]. Kinstler, white, was
badly burned around the head and arms,
but is In no serious condition.
Four negroes, Wade Baken, Peter Walk
er, Kato Meredith and Wells Richardson,
were all more or less seriously burned and
bruised, but none of them were fatally
injured. Baken Jared the worst of the five.
The explosion was caused by the care
lessness of one of the miners. Some gas
had been discovered in the mine, and Mine
Foreman Kintsler was experimenting the
driving in of an air way and the tanning
out of the gas. One of the miners, whose
name is unknown, carelessly approached
with miners lamp, and an explosion re-
suited Immediately.
Just after the accident happened there
was great excitement around the mine and
a number of exaggerated reports were sent
out. A relief party Immediately began the
work of extricating the men, which was
done without much difficulty. All of the
rooms in the neighborhood of the explo-
sion were examined with the expectation
of finding more men injured, but the five
named were all whose injuries amounted to
anything
The mine is situated near the railroad not
far from Helena. 1t Is in Shelby county and
is operated by Richard Fell & Co.

THE SOUTHERN CLUB
At Annual Meeting December 10 VIII
Discuss Improvement of Building.

At the annual meeting of the Southern
club TO be held Saturday night, there will
be great deal of important business trans
acted Besides the election of officers,
proposition will lie made to the club to
make a number of enlargements and inn
proveInents to the present club building.
II is proposed to extend the southside of
the building a number of feet out towards
Fifth avenue, and also to build an addition
on the east, or Twentieth street side. These
additions will almost double the size OF the
ballroom on the second floor, and will also
greatly increase the size of the billiard hall
ard other rooms down stairs.
The plan which is to be submitted also
proposes to add greatly to the beauty of
the club by interior decoration. The i'm
provements suggested are estimated to cost
about $6,000 and whether they will be made
or not, is the question to be decided at the
nleeting Saturday night.

THE EXAMINER
AT HIS WORK
With Records and Accounts of
County Commissioners.
NO WITNESSES SUMMONED
And There is Much Speculation as to
Whether He Will Make Pre-
liminary or an Exhaus-
tive Report.
NO WITNESSES SUMMONED

Assistant State Examiner Foster contin-
ues his labors on the records and accounts
of the court of county commissioners of
Jefferson. 1t Is believed that he works all
his hours not devoted to sleep, and 1t Is
known that he doesn't sleep too much.
In the evenings Examiner Foster is not
seen about the hotel Hobbies or other places
of public resort, and it is assumed that he
is engaged in his official work. He Is well
known to be an interchangeable and fast
worker.
One of the principal officials at the coun-
ty court house declared that he had not
seen the examiner but once since the ex-
amners arrival at the court house last
Monday morning. The examiner is stick
ing to business, as the phrase runs, and
all Jefferson county and no small part of
the state outside await with eager anxiety
his report to the governor. Hardly any
other question was discussed In the city
yesterday. Everybody desired to know
just what Examiner Foster was doing in
the way of Investigating; but that much
no man may tell until the governor be
pleased to make the examiners report pub
lie.
There is one fact of interest. Mr.. Foster
has not summoned any witnesses by the
ordinary process. If he has commanded
the attendance of any witness 1t has been
by word of mouth from himself, which
means he has the legal right to employ. No
summons have been issued in the ordinary
way, and presumably Mr. Foster will not
require the evidence of witnesses, or shall
demand such evidence later in the course
of the investigation.
The fact that no witnesses have been or
dered to appear would seem to suggest that
the examiner does not at presenet propose
making an exhaustive report on the condi-
ton of business In the Office of the county
commissioners, and that he will, therefore.
submit to the governor preliminary report
whereon the governor may base the prom
Used special message to the legislature. Or
possibly, the examiner has not yet reached
that stage of his investigation whereat the
testimony of Witnesses is required.
The speculation arising out of the present
condition of affairs Is full of interest. The
examiner may carry his report to the gov
ernor at any hour, and 1t would be certain
to be followed by an executive message.
But the belief at the court house Is that
Mr.. Foster has Instructions to make an ex-
haustive report on the doings Of the county
commissioners. 1t will take up all his time
till Chhristmas. In that case his report
would reach the governor more than a week
after the legislature shall have adjourned
for the holiday vacation.

The staging of the play was very good, the

the finest ever seen In Birmingham. The
characters were well cast, and the audi

say farewell to Birmingham forever tonight
when he appears at pBriens opera house
in Faust" his famous play, for the last
time Mr.. Morrisons 'Mephisto'' has for
years been recognized as the most artistic
and in fact he is regarded today, by the
world, as being without peer In this role.
1t has made him fame and in his peculiarly
pleasing rendition of ''Mephisto" he has
taught the world to like. He loves to
play it and enjoys 1t just as much as the
audience, but he is getting old and has
decided after this season to abandon the
stage. He has sufficient of the American
god to keep him comfortable for the rest
of his days and this he has made by pleas
ing the people. This Is not his first fare
well, but his last farewell appearance and
there will be many an ardent admirer in
tonight's audience who will shed tear at
the thought of not seeing again the greatest
of all 'Mephistos."
