EXCITING ACCIDENT IN A MINE AT
C~HICOPEE, KAS.
HEARD AND FELT FOR MILES.
OF SEVEN MEN IN THE NINE TWO
ARE STILL MISSING.
Several Were More or Less Seriously
Injured-AII but One Were Shot
Fircrs-ExplOsiOn Was in
the Mount Carmel
Shaft.

Pittsburg, Kas.. Jan. S.-One of the most
disastrous mine explosions that has ever
occurred in this district took place this
evening between 6 and Z o'clock at Mount
Carmel Coal Company, shaft No. 5. located
at Chicopee, four miles southeast of this
city.
The sound of the explosion was heard and
felt, not only in this city, but in surround
ing towns and country for a distance of six
to eight miles. In the southeast portion
CT this city, windows ratified and houses
shivered as if from a heavy clap of thun-
der, and people rushed out of their homes
bareheaded and frightened. wondering
what the matter was. A bright blast about
twenty feet in thickness pulled out of the
shaft to a height of about sixty feet and
for a few seconds lighted the country
for d long distance around. The concus-
sion was ont felt with the same force in
the immediate vicinity as it was a few
miles away.
The top house was badly shattered and
this, with its catching fire from the blaze
from the explosion, left it a complete
wreck. Water thrown from the fire appa-
ratus kept constantly at the mines by the
men who were on top at the time prevent
ed the entire loss of the oodwo
Soon after the explosion men, women and
children began to gather at the shaft from
the town, which is located about a mile
away, for it was known that there were at
least seven men in the shaft. and appear
ances indicated that it would only be a
miracle if they escaped death.
Excitement ran high until Superintendent
Hoscheidt appeared, and put a rescuing
party to work at once. Plenty of volun-
teers were to be found who were willing to
go down or assist in any way possible. The
names of those Known to be in the shaft at
the time were: Ben Boyd, Ben Sherard.
Eugene Zimmerman, Tony Weisberger,
James Nolan, Joe Sitter, join Travernaro
and John BassinS.
All Of the men who were caught in the
mine We're shot tirers with the exception of
Nolan. who was night boss.
Ben Boyd, who climbed out after the eX-
plosion and before the %rescuing party had
commenced work, was pretty badly
burned. Nolan had just started down the
main way. He had gone only a short dis
lance from the top. and was uninjurea. Ben
Sherard was the first man, reached by the
reScuers. and was only slightly injured. Joe
Sitter, the third man rescued. was badly
burned, and Joe Tarernano, the fourth man,
was able to walk home. a distance OF over
a mile.
At II o'clock Tony Weisberger and John
Bossing were yet in the mine and it was
feared they were injured or dead. The
fan in the air shaft. which was somewhat
disabled, was soon rugged up after the eX-
OF the men by keeping fresh air working
through the mine.
The explosion was what is known as n
dust explosion. and not expected by the
mine. The shaft is 1l2 feet deep. and con-
tanned the most modern improved machln-
cry. The damage cannot be at
| present, but it is large.

THE RACE TO KHARTOUM.
Trouble Between France
and Euxland,

Berlin. Jan. S.-The diplomats of Berlin
expect serious trouble between France and
Great Britain as the outcome of the race
to Khartoum. They say that, if France
arrives there first, there is bound to be war,
as Great Britain could not submit to 1t, as
Lower Egypt is valueless without this key
of inner Africa
London. Jan. 8.-The official statement
that the military tactics in Egypt are pure
ly defensive is not credited. The greatest
activity is manifested in all quarters. I'm
mems supplies of ammunition and food
are being forwarded to the front and it is
whispered in military circles that this
means that the minister's desire to meet
parliament with Khartoum in their hands,
SO that a triumph in Africa may offset the
plumbers in India.
Even with the ~liveliest efforts. however,
the intervening time will hardly suffice for
a coup in the Soudan. The Anglo-Egypt-
ian force consists of 1S.0O Egyptians, three
battalions of British troops and the Nile
gunboats, all commanded by the sirdar,
Sir Herbert Kitchener. The latter refuses
to allow the war correspondents to go be-
yond the head of the railway.

pay day among the majority of operatives
in the mills where a strike is probable.
After the operatives received their money,
they proceeded to lay in a good stock of
provisions. Many weavers had barrels of
-four rolled into their kitchens. The ma
jority of the operatives think a strike is
sure to be begun. and all that could be
heard talked of at the north and south
ends of the city was the probable strike. In
making their rounds to-day the collectors
of the Weavers' Association found many
French-Canadian weave making repara-
tons to leave for Canada just as soon as
a strike is on. 1t was found that over 200
French weavers would leave the day after
a strike was inaugurated. Besides, many
other weavers declare their intention of
leaving the city if the strike goes in effect.
In the first week a after the strike; it is said
Secretary Waldron. of the Card and
Picker Room Association, has called Il gen-
eral meeting for Tuesday night to take
a ballot whether to strike or not.
