says: The English language cannot
describe the appalling disaster which
occurred here at 1925 Tuesday fore
noon by an explosion in mine No. 4 oil

List Grows Longer.
Salt Lake City, May 3.-The reports
from Scofield up to IL o'clock Wednes-
day night say that il is now known
that IT'S are dead from the explosion,
and that the estimate of loss will in
crease rather than decrease. The SUI
perintendent of the mine says there is
no record of the number of men that GO
in the mine from day to day, and that
the exact loss cannot be known until
all the dead bodies are taken out. One
estimate is that there were 39s men In
the mine, and on that basis there must
Later Estimate.
Salt Lake City, May 4.-The latest
dispatches from Scofeld say that the
extreme estimate of dead is now con-
coded to have been too large, and that
1t is numerically impossible to place
the loss of life at 300, as there were not
that many men in the mines. The prob
abilities are that $50 will be about the
total number of dead. There are not
enough collins in the camp to bury the
dead, and, to add to horror TO the stu
alton, the bodies are rapidly decompos-

Electricity has advanced with great

demonstration Of the latest discov-
cries and invention, and the utili-
cation OF the current for decorative

have been studying the effects OF
electrical fountains and electrical
lighting appliances Of all kinds,
and every portion OF the grounds
will be illuminated with countless
lights. The lakes and canals will
be brilliant, and the outlines OF
every building and tower picked
out with little lamps. An electri-
cal tower, 375 feet high, will be the
chief point Of display. 1t will carry
a hugh sYmbolical figure Of Fec
tricity dominating the Exposition
and the world. and there will be an
enormous lighted globe OF jewelled
glass on which will be traced IN
FIRE the outlines of North and South
America. The building to be de-
voted to Electricity will be one OF
the largest OF the Exposition. The
managers of the Exposition say
that there will be the most won

seen, and their claim is plausible.

MANSION OF CHARLES CARROLL,
OF CARRoLLToN.- Once the scene
OF the gay gatherings Of colonial
times-now a busy hive OF cloak
makers toiling in socalled Sweat
shops" in brief, is the his
tory OF the mansion in which
Charles Carroll, Maryland's
signer OF the Declaration Of Inde-
pendence, lived and died. 1t has
been suggested that along with
official disregard Of the Constitu-

Declaration OF independence and
Of the historic haunt of those who
were instrumental in its making,
1t is a sturdy old house that
stands at the northeast corner Of
Lombard and Front streets, num-
bered 500 on Lombard street and
bearing the sign across the front Of
a cloak company. Tradition has
it that the roomy mansion was
built by Thomas Welch, an Irish
man, of bricks brought over from
England. The lower windows are
still closed in with the solid
wooden shutters which were use
tul in more troublous times, and
the exterior of the house bears its
same plain look Of yore. But IN
the interior the change has taken
place.
Charles Carroll. bought the
house, lived in it as his town man
sion and died there. After his
death it was in the possession Of
his son, Richard Cation, father Of
the "three graces," who lived
there. Next it was known as part
oil the estate Of the MacTavish fam
lily, and now it belongs to the estate
Of Jacob Seeger.
AT one time it was proposed
that the city should buy the prop
erty, tear down the house and in
it's stead erect a school house, but
this plan was opposed. Atanother
time a congregation Of families
from Wieslin, town in Russia,
used it as synagogue, and then
the Scripture and the Talmud
were chanted in rooms that once
echoed to the tread OF priests Of
the Roman Church. Now it has
come to the more utilitarian use as
cloak factory, and, at the same
time, home tor many families.
In some rubbish in the cellar Of
the house was found in 1893 por-
trait OF Charles Carroll. He is
represented as seated in a chair
holding in one hand a scroll, evil

pendence. On the top OF the frame
was the inscription, "Charles Car

In March. 1899, the members of
Baltimore Chapter OF the Daugh-
ters Of the Revolution put upon
the wall Of the house a tablet to
commemorate its former occu-
pancy. II was made OF white Yer
mont statuarY marble, suitably
lettered in black. For a time thIs
called attention to the house, but
in October last the tablet became
loose and fell one day. A corner

and it has never been replaced.
Now all that remains to mark the
house from any other is a bent
nail sticking between the bricks.
