A DOZEN MINERS DIE
Flames In Coal Mines the Cause
Of Deadly Explosions.
CHARRED BODIES RECOVERED
Disaster Occurred In Baby Mine at
Pocahontas, Virginia, and Was
Caused BY Defective EIec.
trio Wire.

4. special from Bluefield, w. Va,
says: Thursday morning at 8 o'clock
it was discovered that the Baby mine
of the Pocahontas Colliery Company
at Pocahontas, Va, was on fire. An
alarm was sent in and the fire com
pany responded promptly. In a very
short time after the fire fighters reach
ed the mouth of the mines and were
attempting to extinguish the flames,
some of the firemen and others rushed
inside of the mine to ascertain the
extent of the trouble and to assist
miners entombed therein, terrific ex'
plcsion occurred and many miners and
their would-be rescuers were more or
less injured. It is supposed that the
mine caught fire from defective elec'
trio light wire.
Five bodies had been recovered up
to 6 p. m., and 1t is uncertain how
many more are dead, though it as
known that there are several, perhaps
eight or ten, in the mines unless they
succeeded in making their escape
through the Tug river entrance.
twenty-five persons have been res
cued, all more or less burned, some sc,
riously and perhaps several fatally.
The injured were carried to their
homes in wagons, and all the physi-
clans in Pocahontas were busy all day
Thursday attending them. One or two
other explosions followed that Of the
morning, and others are hourly expect
ed. Tie mine is still burning and
clouds Of smoke are constantly issu-
ing from it's mouth.
In 1884 Pocahontas experienced a
like experience in which over one hun
dred lives were lost.
The dead so far recovered are:
Louis Woolwine, John Barnhart,
Will Montgomery, M. D. Koontz; a
Hungarian named Urico.
Woolwine, Montgomery and Koont1
were killed while attempting to res
cue and bring out dead body. AT
this time it is impossible to secure
the names Of those injured.
AS yet the estimate Of the damage
cannot be obtained.

FAIR BUILDINGS BURN.
Two Large Structures In Piedmont
P,eL A$Ianf, rofoIIv nasfrovAS

Two Large Structures In Piedmont
Park, Atlanta, Totally Destroyed.
An Atlanta dispatch says: The
portation and electrical buildings
at the exposition grounds were totally
destroyed by fire at o'clock Friday
morning. The origin of the fire is un-
known. The burning Of the two big
structures made a brilliant illumina.
tion. The loss is estimated at $4,000.
The buildings were located in the
lower part of the exposition grounds
and were in close proximity to each
other. They were frame structures
and furnished easy fuel for the flames.
The fire started shortly after mid
night.
During the Southern Interstate fair
the buildings were used as stables and
a large number Of horses were quar-
tered there. The city fire department
was notified and responded, but the
flames had gained such headway that
the work Of the firemen was useless.

STRIKERS USE GUNS
Bloody Battle Occurs at Mines
Near MadiSonyille, Ky.
NON=UNlONISTS ARE ATTACKED
In Bombardment Two Men Were Kill
ed and Four Badly Injured.
Troops Are Hurriedly
Called Out.

Sunday morning before daybreak
one of the most deadly conflicts of the
entire year of mining troubles occur
red at the mines of the Providence
Coal Company, II miles from Madison
vile. Nv. Two men are dead and 9TH
ers are wounded. Fohowing are the
casualties:
James Smith, negro striker, dead;
George Crouch, striker, fatally Woun-
ed; John West, guard, shot In both
hands; Nathan Bush, guard, shot IN
forearm.
This is the seco1d time inside of a
week that these mines have been at
tackled by roaming mobs, each battle
resulting in the shedding of human
blood.
The latest combat was the bloodlest
Of all. At 4:30 o'clock Sunday morning
several shots were irei on the engine
house of the company. 1t was but a
few minutes until the stables OF the
company were surrounded by union
meu, who commenced the destruction
of animal flesh. A fine saddle horse
and six mules were killed. The attack
ing party about eighty strong, then,
from the brow of neighboring hill,
poured well-directed fire upon the
homes of non-union employees, where
over half a hundred men were peace
fully sleeping with their families. Many
of the miners dropped to their floors,
while others rushed with winchesters
and other guns in hand to small piles
of timber, arranged to be used upon
Just such an occasion. Behind these
Notifications the miners knelt and re-
turned the ire of the strikers, assist
ing the guards in holding the property.
Volley after volley of lead was thrown
into the bottoms where the miners
reside. While these homes were COW
cred a steady fire was kept up on the
tipple, engine room, stable am other
buildings.
The guards were heavily armed and
their work was even more effective
than that Of the strikers. The battle
ragged an hour and half. The three
guards are not seriously wounded.
County Judge Hall, at Providence,
started an investigation. An inquest
was held, the coroner's verdict being
that the negro came to his death at
the hands Of guards while in the de-
fense of the life and property and they
were, therefore, justiiable.
The news of the shooting spread like
wildfre. 1t was not long before the
news reached the ears Of Adjutant Gen
eral Murray, who at once commenced
an investigation, opening up with com;
munication with the governor.
Two companies of state troops were
Immediately ordered out

lONGBAUGH IN BAD BOX.
Identified BY Employees Of Great
Northern Road as Train Robber.

Northern Road as Train Robber.
At st. Louis Wednesday the federal
grand jury returned indictments
against Harry Longbaugh, alias John
Arnold, the mysterious Montana train
robber suspect, and his companion,
Laura Bullion. They were indicted on
seventeen separate counts each. Chas.
H. Smith and Michael F. O'Neil, ex-
press messenger and fireman, respec-
lively, of the Great Northern flyer that
was held up last July near Wagner,
Mont, arrived in ST. Louis Wednesday
afternoon and identified the suspects
under arrest as Harry Longbaugh, the
man who held up the train and took
the lead in intimidating the train crew
and blowing open the express COM
pany's safe, from which nearly $780,
900 in unsigned bills of the national
bank of Helena were stolen.
O'Neil says that ,Longbaugh is the
man who climbed over the tender and
held up Engineer Jones and himself
and then superintended the blowing up
of the safe. His recollection of the epi-
sode was so vivid that he could de-
scribe the two revolvers the robber
used. The police say they are the
same weapons that were found on the
prisoner when he was arrested.

GIN. SHELLEY CLAIMS FRAUD.
Committee Makes Salty and
Sensational Charges.

y Birmingham, Ala, dispatch says:
General Charles NJ. Shelley, chairman
of the naturalization committee of
the democratic party, does not give up
the defeat CT the new constitution as
claimed by the friends of the measure,
but on the other hand claims that it
has been defeated.
In an interview Wednesday morning
he gave out some facts and figures
which make good showing for his
side Of the contest. He claims to have
carried for naturalization thirty-seyen
counties QUO of thirty-nine in the state
with majorities aggregating 29,400, and
most all of this is from the white coun-
ties. He asserts that he has carried
every county in the state where fair
election was held. He makes some
salty charges and il il said that he is
not one Of the sort to make charges
without some proof. Among other
things he says:
1--WE have carried enough counties to
give us. the control of the next state
convention and the legislature.
I'VE have carried every congression-
al district in the state but two.
1--WE have carried every county in
the state in which an honest election
and fair count was had, except posi-
bly, two.
"The most fragrant frauds were per.
petrated in this (Jefferson) county.
They say that the negroes voted in
Birmingham freely. 1t is not true. We
endeavored to prevent every man we
could from voting, as We knew it would
increase the majority against US.
Every white county in the state ex-
cept possibly two voted against rati-
fication.
call the state officials, both sena-
tors, all the congressman, nearly all
the lawyers and all the newspapers
but six advocated ratification, and yet
the white people turned it down by
over 10000 majority.
1T would be a shame to have this
constitution imposed upon the white
people by $4,000 negro majority in the
black belt. That a $4,000 white ma
jority should be overwhelmed by the
votes of negroes, voting to disfran-
chise themselves, IS a disgrace to civil
ization.
"The moral sentiment behind those
advocating ratification is shown by the
fact that Judge Of one Of cur supe-
rior courts here boasted that he had
voted five times.
''The fact is, that upon a square
count the white majority against rati.
fication is about 50,000."

BRILLIANT JOURNALIST DEAD
Pascal j. Moran, of The Atlanta Com
stitution's Editorial Staff, Passes $
Away Suddenly.

Pascal ]. Moran, we'll known journai.s
ist. died at his home in Atlanta, Ga,
Friday night, which was the result o.
heart trouble, and came with absolute
unexpectedness.
Mr.. Moran had been Ill but a few
days, and his sickness-a cold which
he contracted last Saturday-was con-;
sidered but a passing lilness. In facl
I'D to the day of his death-almost up
to the hour-he continued to DO his.
work which he sent regularly to Hnel
Constitution office every day from his
house. Shortly before 8 o'clock Friday
night his usual amount Of editorial
matter was received by the editor OF
The Constitution, who little suspecteds
that it would be the last from the PEN
of this brilliant writer. These edtfoss
rials appeared in Saturday mornangs3
issue, which also bore the announces
ment of his sudden demise.
The news Of Mr.. Moran's death
spread rapidly. It came as q distinct,
shock to his friends, the majority Of
whom were not aware that he Wa
even slightly sick. In hall an hour nsls
merous telephone messages OF condo
lence were received, and the many
friends of the family and professionak
associates called to extend their sym
pathy. g.
Up to within few days Of his death
Mr.. Moran had the appearance ol q
man in the very best Of health, but at
appears that for some years he has;
been troubled with a weak heart Thks
in conjunction with congestion of tie
lungs, which set in Friday mornsng1s
was the cause Of his death. s.
In the death of Pacal ]. Moran, the:
south loses one of it's most brilliant and
versatile journalists, and the Atlanta
Constitution an editorial writer whose
place will be exceedingly difficult tos
fill. He was man whose store OF gen
eral information was remarkable. and
whose grasp Of all subjects-potticaI
historical, social, economic, religious
agricultural, and, in fact, all phases Of
thought that a skilled Journalist is:
called upon to deal with-was firm and
secure. ~
