THINK FORTY WERE KILLED.
Death List from BraznelI Mine Dis.
aster Is Growing.
SAFETY LAMPS NOT IN USE.
Employo Says Open Lights Were Re
sponsible for the Accident-Names of
Those Known to Have Lost Their
Lives--Many Stili Missing.

Brownsville, Pa, Dec. 26.--It is as
serted that the number of men killed
in the Braznell mine near here Satur-
day was forty or more. 1t is said that
there were fifty-five to sixty men in
the mine, and of these only twelve
were taken out alive. The others are
known now to be dead. Several bodies
were taken out of the mine Sunday.
Never in the history of mining acct
dents have bodies been more fearfully
mangled than were the corpses of these
men.
The intimation given Saturday that
the use of safety lamps in the Braznell
mine had been discontinued, in viola
ton of the law, is confirmed by the
statement of William Pastorius, a
driver in the mine and a man of con-
siderable intelligence and good stand
ing in the communi y. P4stoIius says
that Pit Boss Jones last Tuesday morn
Ing issued a general order that al,
safety lamps might be dispensed with
and in their stead the miners weIe
permitted to use naked lights.
The dead taken from the mine so fac
are:
HAGAR, HENRY, 80 years old;
leaves wife and six children.
OROsORY, PETER, sc; leaves wife
and four children.
THOMAS, WILLIAM, SO; leaves wife
and four children.
ROHTELL, MICHAEL, "a; single.
MEESE, SAMUEL, 80; leaves wife
and three children.
MEESE, ALBERT, Is; died after
being rescued yesterday.
MAHIO, MICHAEL, %; leaves wife
and two children.
KOVITZ, GEORGE. 40; single.
POSTSKY, JOSEPH, %; leaves wife.
MAGYAR, JOSEPH, 10; single.
MOLOK, WILLIAM, SO; leaves wife
and two children.
PROLOC, PAUL, "a; leaves widow
and one child.
At least twelve other bodies are in
sight but cannot yet be reached on
| account of the debris.
The estimates Of the number of dead
are conflicting. A. B. Braznell, presi-
dent of the Stockdale Coal company,
said he believed but twenty to twenty
| five men had been killed. Men who
were working around the mine Satur-
day give different figures. They say
thirty-five to forty men were down the
mine shaft in the cages, while about
twenty climbed down the steps in the
| elevator shaft -

Utah Man Constructs Wonderful Clock


Joseph Jensen, a clockmaker of
Richfield, Utah, has just completed a
wonderful clock, which, in addition to
striking the hours, halves and Qaar-
tiers, and showing the phases Of the
moon, tells just what time it is In
every city of the world. This is done
by means OF a globe, which revplves
inside transparent globular glass. On
this glass is marked line which mp.
resents IL o'clock noon. As the g6be
revolves this line is always over that
part of the world in which 1t is hoon
at the time. Other lines represent the
other hours, and in this way it is easy
to get the exact time in, any esYen
place.
