lamp. These lamps were resting on the
bumpers of cars and it is supposed the gas
was ignited by the naked lamp.
In the driving of this ganway the men
struck fault the coal seam having taken
sudden dip Of about eight feet. The work in
progress was the dislodging of = coal to
enable the men to get under the Ock Of the
fault and blow it out. 1t WAS part of this
underlying coal that Sapolinski says fell out
and dislodged the gas
Immediately after the explosion the tim
bers of the gangway seemed to catch fire and
half an hour later it was impossible to get
near the place. The dense smoke drove the
men out of other parts of the mine and
several men say they had narrow escapes
from suffocatiOn. Edward Eberman, a con-
tractor driving tunnel in East Buck Noun
tain No l lift, says he and his five men had a
hard time getting out Of the place on account
of the smoke which poured into the tunnel
through an opening from the No. lift.
As soon as it became known that No. 1
gangway was on fire message was sent to
town for the fire companies to bring their
hose. The Columbia and Phoenix companies
responded promptly with all the hose their
company had, and the cOlliery officials hur-
ried teams to other collieries for what hose
that could be spared. The hose was lowered
down the shaft on the cages and the con
nectioDs were made at the bottom. Several
of the firemen went down into the mine and
assisted the mine employees, who were under
the direction of Inside Foreman Silas Frost,
Mine Inspector William Stein and Division
Superintendent Adam Boyd, in fighting the
fire.
At eleven o'clock report came from the
mine that the fire was a stubborn one and it
was impossible to get near enough to it to
form an idea of its real extent. Shortly be-
fore noon, however more favorable report
was made The hose had been laid to the top
of the new slope and the men were preparing
to make their way down towards the lift
where the fire was. 1t was admitted, how
ever, that there was a serious fire on hand
The shaft of the oOllery is 43s feet deep.
From the bottom of the shaft 10 the top of
the new slope the distance is 1000 yards and
the depth to No. lift is about 200 yards.
There are ten breasts opened in the west
gangway. The slope has four lifts, but the
two lower lifts are not worked. They are
filled with water
When the explosion and fire were first re-
ported intense excitement was created in the
town and hundreds of men, women and chill

special TO EVENING HERALD.
New York, oct 17-The Columbia and
Shamrock met again to-day of Sandy Hook
for the second of the international yacht
races for the America S cup and the challenger
was defeated again. She was put out Of the
race by an accident and the Columbia had a
walk over. The course was a triangular one
The Shamrock crossed the starting line a
few seconds ahead of the Columbia. The
weather was hazy aud the wind was blowing
ten miles an hour.
Soon after the start the Columbia over
hauled and passed the Shamrock and the
race assumed an aspect similar TO that which
characterized the race Of yesterday.
At 1880 the Columbia had fair lead but
the distance could not he determined on ac.
count Of the hazy condition of the weather
The race was progressing favorably and all
looked forward to pretty finish race when
at about one o'clock, an accident occurred on
the Shamrock. The nature of the accident
could not be determined from distance, but
it was clearly apparent that something had
gone wrong on board the challenger. The
Columbia was seen continuing her course
As the yatchs got further apart the boats
at the boundary lines drew closer and it was
seen that the Shamrock was crippled. Her
top mast had apparently been carried away
No one on board the Shamrock was injured
by the accident
The Columbia continued on the course
alone and her chances for making flush
within the allotted time and scoring two
races to her credit were good.
The Columbia was sailing fast when she
tlrned the second mark and every iudica-
tion pointed to her reaching the finish line
within the prescribed time limit.

eral firemen volunteered to assist c. & l.
Policeman Charles Kleindienst in driving the
people back in order TO make room for the
workmen about the head Of the shaft who
were busy lowering hose, empty barrels,
buckets and safety lamps to be used in fight
ing the FIRE. The crowd was SO great that
the police had difficulty in getting the people
back 80 that the space required could be
roped of
At l. 80 o'clock this afternoon the officials
of the collery reported that the fire was out
aud water was only being poured into the
gangway TO cool it OIL The fire fighters had
got so far into the gangway that they
reached the car that stood few yards from
the face. This car was on fire when it was
reached.
The colliery officials also stated that all the
men who were at work in the mine at the
time Of the explosion escaped and none were
injured except those reported burned. The
extent of damage to the mine by fire is not
known.
1t appears that there was not sufficient hose
at hand to extnguish the fire. The hose
only reached part way down the slope. A
quantity of dynamite was procured aud ex-
ploded as close to the seat of the fire as pos
sible, and the shock of the explosion ex-
tiRguished the fire.
A telephone message from the Miners hos
pital this afternoon stated that two Of the
victims of the explosion were at that institu-
tiOn in a very serious condition. Matt, Kin
ter and Charles Galeta have about half their
bodies burned. Kinter is "a years old and
Galets 80 years.

On being asked to give an account of the

Foreman Silas Frost and David Hughes, the
fire boss, were at the face of the gangWay

says, was sudden rush of coal from the

Sioux Falls Press: Our republican
contemporaries nave had great deal
to say about Mr.. Fox's trip to the
Philippines, but not word of expls-
nation as 10 why they sent Kipp there.
What sort OF deviltry is Kipp expected
to stir up in Luzon on behalf OF the re-
publican machine?
kipp will have no chance to stir up
any deviltry over there, as Fox will
attend to all that business Then,
again, Kipp was not sent to the Phili-
ppines by anybody in South Dakota,
and if we are not mistaken he was sent
as representative of Minneapolis
newspaper. So what connection Kipp
has with the republican machine" is
not at all clear, only to the Press. In
the above Interrogation the Press
practically admits that Fox was sent to
Luzon by the state administration to
stir up some deviltry.
