MANY CANDIDATES
FOR CITY MESSENGER

There is a lively campaign on for the
office Of city messenger to succeed
Charles Marvin and the members of
the City Council are being urged to
cast their votes for several candidates,
among whom are Councilman James p.
Crosby. Daniel E. Denny of 127 West
Street, George H. Sawin, janitor of the
City Hall, Walter F. Gleason, an in
spector in the street department, G.
Emil Nystrom of II Reeves Street,
Charles C. Brown of Sherburne Ave
nue. Lieut.. william T. Gould of "a
Dread Street and William H. Pratt of
The Spy.
At this writing, Mr.. Pratt seems to
have the inside track as his candidacy
is being received with great favor by
the members of the City Council. He
has done the City Hall work for The
Spy for the past three years and dur
ing that time he has also looked out for
the Republican politics for the paper.
His knowledge of city affairs and his
training as a newspaper man fit him
admirably for the office and his genial
personality has made him many friends
in both branches and in both parties at
City Hall.

the obstacles placed in the way Of Con-
sui General Dickinson by the Bulga-
rian authorities regarding the ransom
of Miss Stone, Spencer Eddy, secretary
Of the United States legation, visited
M Gueschoff, the Bulgarian agent now
here, and made strong representations
in which he urged M. Gueschoff to tel
egraph to his government to end the
present state of affairs in the interest
of a speedy solution of the matter.
Sofia Bulgaria, Nov. 14.-Miss Stone
and Madame Tsilka are said to be oc-
cupying a hut in a village of southern
Bulgaria, to which they are closely
confined.
There is reason to believe that a con-
ference of the secret committee held at
Dubnitza, favored a reduction Of the
exaggerated ransom demanded and
that as soon as the su incomes within
the range of the funds at the DISPOSE
tjaps Of fsnnall GaneNal Dickinson he is
ready TO seal the proposal

| This was the statement given out last
night by James Logan. chairman Of tho
Committee Of Twenty Five Republic
cans. after meeting lasting three
hours
In a word, considerable majority OF
the II members Of the committee pres
ent, believe that body Of men, as
representative as the municipal con-
vention will be, is far better suited to
select a candidate for consideration
OF Republicans of Worcester, than the
Committee of Twenty-Five, excellent
though 1t may be.
Those who attended the meeting at
Republican Headquarters last night
were James Logan. John NJ. Russell,
Alfred Thomas. Hon. e. T. Marble, 8.
X. Haywood, George S. Clough, Fran
els o. Dahlquist, Philip W. Moen, John
II. Goes John w. Knibbs, Henry Bran
non, George F. Brooks, Henry +. Har-
ris, M. p. Higgins, Charles II. Pink
ham, N. P. Huot and Hon. Theodore
9. Bates
Members Of the committee who were
out OF the city or prevented by some
reason from not attending the meeting
were, William II. Sawyer, Rufus B.
Fowler, Col A. George Bullock, Charles
n. Morgan, Hon. Stephen Salisbury.
Col. Samuel r. Winsow, Charles s..
The members were late in arriving
and 1t was about S.15 o'clock when the
committee was called to order A
Journment was taken at Ills o'clock
and Chairman James Logan was dele
gated to give out the action of the
meeting. In opening the names of pos
sible candidates were not mentioned.
The meeting was given up to express
sion OF the views Of those present rath-
er than to discussion Of the relative
merits of possible candidates.
the committee carefully went over
the list Of delegates to the municipal
convention and the fact that consider
able care and judgment was shown by
candidates for aldermen In making up
their respective lists, was generally re-
marked. The view generally expressed
was that so representative a body Of
men as that to be included in the mu-
nicipal conventioncould be safely trust
ed with the responsibility of selecting
candidate for the SURFACES of the
people
What the outcome will be Pemains
for representatives Of the several dis
trlcts of the city to determine That
comparatively little caucusing has
been going on among the delegates Is
generally understood. The name OF
Deputy Sheriff james Hunt has been
mentioned lately with considerable
frequency. and there are a number
who claim that the nomination is due
William A. Lyle. that he may have q
chance to vindicate himself
Frank L. Dean is another whose
name has been received with con-
siderable favor by Republican voters.
Many Republicans who are inclined
to the belief that the party could do
worse than endorse the nomination OF
Mayor O'Connell. when they learned
Of the action Of the committee, were
Of the opinion that the declination OF
the committee TO suggest a possible
candidate enhanced the chances Of
such an endorsement

Five Bodies of Dead Miners TAX
en- From Baby Mine of the Poe
ahontas CoIIiery at PoCahon-
taS, Va.
SEVERAL OTHER PERSONS
ARE STILL MISSING
The Mine Had Taken Fire and
Rescue Party Was Going In
When Terrific Exlosion Occur
red = Many Persons Seriously
Injured

Bluefield, w. Va, Nov. 14.-Five dead
bodies have been taken from the Baby
Mine of the Pocahontas Colliery Com
pany at Pocahontas, Va. Several 9TH
err persons are unaccounted for, and
25 persons have been rescued more or
less severely burned.
Early this morning it was discovered
that the mine was on fire. An alarm
was sent in and the fire company re-
sponded promptly. Just after the fire
fighters had reached the mouth of the
mine and were attempting to extin-
Ruish the flames, some of the firemen
and others having rushed inside OF the
mine to ascertain the extent of the
trouble and to assist miners entombed
therein, a terrific explosion occurred,
and many miners and their friends
were more or less injured.
1t is supposed that the mines caught
fire from a defective electric light wire.
Five bodies had been recovered up to
& o'clock D. m. 1t is uncertain If any
more are dead. but il. is known that
there are several men, perhaps eight
or ten, still in the mines, unless they
succeeded in making their escape
through the Tug River entrance.
Twenty-Five persons have been re-
scued, all burnt, some seriously and
perhaps fatally. All the physicians in
Pocahontas have been busy all day
attending the injured. One or two
other explosions have followed that of
the morning and others are hourly ex-
pected. The mine is still burning and
clouds Of smoke are pouring from it's
mouth. The fan has now been stopped
and as soon as possible the mine will
be re-entered, in the hope of extin-
gushing the fire.
In 1884 Pocahontas experienced a
like occurrence, in which over 100 lives
were lost.
The dead so far recovered are Louis
Woolwin, John Berehart, VIII Mont
gomery, M. D. Koonz and a Hungarian
named Urico.
Woolwin, Montgomery and Koonz
were killed while ate EJting to re-
scue injured men and to bring out a
corpse.
