An Enquiry.

Why are our supervisors lighting the
court house with gas which is costing
81 per thousand feet, when they can
get gas for much less money? There
are two gas companies in Staunton,
and no effort has been made to econo-
mise the price of gas to our tax payers.
Why is this? Are the people satisfied
with such conditions, or do they want
the court house lighted as cheaply as
possible? They do not know the facts
therefore we call their attention to
them, that this wrong may be righted.

TERRIBLE DISASTER AT
AT POCAHONTAS MINES
Seventeen Lives Lost-Frazier Bell, of
this City, One Of the Number.

A terrible explosion occurred in the
Baby Mine in the Pocahontae GOA
field last week by which a number OF
miners lost their lives. On Friday a
party of engineers and inspectors went
into the mine and persisted, being over
come by the damp gases. A dispatch
from there says: The inspecting par.
ty, consisting of Superintendent
O'Malley, and seven other, one of
whom was Mr.. Frazier Bell, of this
City, entered the mines Friday morn
ing. and have not been heard from.
Several rescuing parties have entered
the mines, but were forced back on
account os gas and black damp. It is
not expected that the bodies will be
recovered for some days, as it will be
impossible to enter the West mines un-
til the air passages connecting the
West and Baby mines can be closed
and the gas driven out.
The mining experts now here have
decided upon plan of rescue, but the
mine officials will give no information
to the public. Hopes had been enter
tanned that the party had escaped
through the Tug River outlet, 10 miles
distant, and messengers were dispatch
ed to that point, but they failed to
fiud any trace of the party. Assis-
tant Superintendent King says it is
impossible for human being to live
fifteen minutes in a mine in the con-
ditlon this one was when his party
entered it.
All the bodies of the mining experts
were recovered Monday, and that night
the remains of Frazier Bell reached
here accompanied by Mr.. and Mrs. H.
M. Bell, Mr.. W. A. Young and Rich
ard P. Bell, Jr. The funeral took place
Tuesday AFTERNOON from Trinity Epis-
copal church, and was largely attended.
VIM. Frazier Bell, the young mining
engineer mentioned above, is the eld-
est son of Mr.. and Mrs. Richard P.
Bell, OF this city, and was only about
% years of age. He was educated at
the Staunton public schools, at the
Episcopal High School, and at the Vir-
ginia Polytechnic Institute, standing
high in his classes and graduating with
honors. He was young man of fine
intellect, high character. of manly,
courteous and winning ways. No
young man was regarded more highly
than he, and his parents have the
sincere sympathy of the entire COM
munity in this sad bereavement.
