TERRIFIC MINE EXPLOSION
BERRYsBURG, W. VA.
Eleven Dead Bodies Removed
Miners Say IL Was Caused by Fire
dnmp-Force of Explosion Was
Great--Property Loss Is Small.

Philippi, w. Va, Nov A terrific ex-
plosion has occurred at the Southern Coal
and Transportation companys mines at
Berrysburg, six miles from Philippi
Eleven dead bodies have been taken from
the mines. The explosion was plainly
heard in Philippi. 1t occurred in the sec
ond left No. room, south entrance. The
mine owners refuse to discuss it. saving
1t was caused by too heavy charge of
powder being used The miners saw it
was caused by firedamp. 1t is not known
how many were killed and injured. Not
until roll-call can this be determined. As
soon as the mine had cleared sufficiently
rescners at once began the removal of the
dead. The pit boss ON duty and his broth
Ell, VIII Alerks, were taken out unconscious
and can not possibly recover.
The force of the explosion was so great
that two men were found 60 feet from
the mouth of the mine. An hour after
the explosion hundreds had visited the
mine. The sight was a most horrible
one. Strewn along the main channel and
about the opening We're the arms, legs
hands and other portions of the bodies
OF the dead miners. The miners insist
that the explosion was caused by fire
damp.
Mules were killed at the mouth of the
mine and cars were blown 40 feet from
the track. One man was blown in two
at the loins and his body thrown against
pile of lumber at the mouth of the
mine. The night shift went on duty at
o'clock. Everything went smoothly until
about midnight, when the explosion oc-
CURED. The dead were mutilated beyond
recognition, and the scene was calculated
to make the strongest heart fail. The ex-
plosion was probably the result of an ac-
cidental discharge OF dynamite, caused per-
haps by conclusion of a blast
The property loss is light Operations
resumed at the mines as usual on Monday.
As the work of removing the dead goes
ON things look worse. -Four men have
been brought out during the last hour,
and the searchers report that dozens are
yet in the mine. Most of those brought
out are mutilated beyond description. A
messenger just returned from the mines
states that the bodies of II men have been
brought out, eight-of whom were recog-
hized Four men are in the hospital and
not expected to live until morning. Twen-
ty men are unaccounted for. The men are
mostly negroes and Slavs.
