MINERS KILLED.
Terrible Result of nm Explosion In
n ConI Mine Near Fire
Creek, W. Va.

Fire Creek, w. Va, March THE
most disastrous mine explosion ever
known in the New River district oc-
CURED at the Red Ash mine shortly
after the miners went to work early
Tuesday morning. Although the most
heroic work of the resCuing party has
been going on necessarily all day 1T
is impossible yet TO estimate the full
extent of the loss Of life and property.
The latest reports since midnight are
that there are 50 miners entombcd.
Ten bodies have been taken out so far,
but it is believed that all of the 40 who
are still in the mine will never be found
alive. The explosion happened as the
men were going into the mine, in
groups and in couples in some instances,
and they were strung along III tins
manner for over mile, so that the work
Of rescue will require "A long time.
The general belief is that the eX-
plOsion occurred by contact with dust
when the miners entered with their
lights and that il was not due to fire
damp as has been currently reported.

DISASTROUS FLOOD.
Thousands o. Acres In the Americas
Bottoms, Near Alton, ILL.,, Sub.
merged-One Life Lost.

St. Louis, March 7.-One human life
has been lost and an immense amount
of damage done in the last "a hours
by the floods throughout the Ameri-
can bottoms and the territory north
of Alton, III. In the eastern part OF
Madison county the rise of all the small
streams has been sudden and has
caught the farmers and property own
ers unawares. Thousands of acres are
covered with from one to six feet OF
water. The western part of Madison
county has suffered greatest, however,
for Wood river has gone out of its
banks in dozen places. The village OF
East Alton, three miles from Alton, IS
partly under water The damage to
orchards, wheat lands and other prop
erty cannot be safely estimated until
the water subsidies. The cause for the
sudden rise is explained by the fact
that the ground under the snow was
frozen. and that all the melting snow
and rain of the last few days was
forced into the waterways at one time.
