GLOUCESTER, O., June 9.-Two
hundred miners were imprisoned early
yesterday by an explosion Of gas in Mine
No. 2, and as many more were about to
enter the mine for work. 1t was thought
at first that the loss of life would be very
large, but the work Of the rescuers was
carried on so energetically and success.
fully that all were rescued and saved ex-
cept three. Evan Joseph, John McCel-
land and Aaron Swanson were killed, and
their bodiss probably cannot be recover
ed, us the mine is still on FIRE. These men
were engaged to watch the large mine at
night and see that it was in condition for
the miners to enter in the morning. They
were cut off from all means of escape at
the time OF the explosion, and their
horses persisted with them. William Will
liams, also employed In the mine, had his
leg broken and others suffered slight in

"On June General Talbot Coke, with

THE attack, which was well planned
by Hildyard and carried out with i'm

mountains were too steep, outflanked the
enemy. who were forced to retire from

Mary Tull.

The tallest woman on the American
stage, according to the Saturday
Evening Post, is Miss Mary Tull, who,
besides her decided histrionic talent,
has won world fame as the favorite
model of the foremost American
sculptors for their recent goddesses
Of liberty. Miss Tulls height, which
is considerably over six feet, naturally
limits her field OF endeavor on the
stage, out In her especial line Of parts
It is not exaggerating to say that she
stands head and shoulders above her
rivals. On o western tour some time
ago a programme printer misspelled
her name, calling her Miss Mary Tall"
The management at first declined to
pay the printing bill, but after the
programme man, who was also tho
manager OF the local theater, had Wis
tied the show and seen the actress he
refused to deduct cent, claiming
that II Tall was not her name, It
ought to be.
Last fall, In New York, Miss Tull
was photographed az the Goddess of
Liberty in a. Broadway studio, and In
answer to telephone call she hastily
left the gallery and went into the ad-
joining building. neglecting, mean
while, to remove her classic draperies.
As she stepped on the street small
crowd gathered to view the unusual
sight. She was only In evidence

There was not a single failure in

Neither were there any failure or
