Mrs. Annie Lannigan and Mrs. Mary
Duffy. Six others are missing and
are almost certainly dead.
The explosion occurred shortly after
noon and many of the occupants of the
building were out at dinner. The
building in which. the explosion oc-
cured was a frame tenement, four
stories high, with stores on the ground
floor. The middle store was occupied
by Rittenburg. Ten families occupied
fats in the building. So great was
the force Of the explosion that a boy
playing in the street half a block away
was lifted from his feet and hurled
against an iron fence. One of his legs
was. broken. A. trolley car was d.
rectly in front Of the building when
the explosion occurred. The burst OF
flame blown out into the street
scorched the sides Of the car and
singed the hair of the passengers.
A number of those who were on the
upper floors Of the building when the
explosion took place were either
stunned and then burned to death or
found escape cut of and were suffo-
Gated. After the first explosion there
was succession of smaller ones and
then came a second big explosion
which was muf1led and deadened and
probably occurred in the cellar.

Large Number. of Bodies Seen Float

They Are Drowned.
Bluefeld, w. Va. June 26.-The
West Virginia food situation has not
many new developments. but it is
authentically stated that the loss OF
life has been greatly overestimated.
although the loss of property can
hardly be estimated. The most con.
kcrvative estimate obtainable places
the loss Of life 1T about 50, a greater,
part of whom are colored miners and
their families. A great many more
who are missing are supposed to have
been swept away. There are great
piles of debris and it will take many
days to find all the bodies. The Nor
folk and Western railroad will lose at
a conservative estimate $500,000, not
taking into consideration the delay to
traffic, etc. Their double track Is
practically washed away for distance
If six miles and at least $500 men are
at work night and day repairing road
bed and removing drift. The Cumber-
land Valley electric light car has ar
rived and will be used to prosecute
the work at night. It will be four
days before any traffic can be resumed.
The loss to the coal operators will
reach about 100000, outside of the
delay at the mines in loading, etc.
The property lost by private parties
is very heavy and cannot be estimated
at this time. It is thought 1t Will
reach the $1,000,0oO mark. General
Boggs and Colonel Hudson OF Gov
ernor Whites staff arrived during the
day to hold conference with the gen.
eral superintendent of the Norfolk and
Western railroad to ascertain what
assistance is needed from the state
authorities. The wires are deluged
with press work and hundreds OF mes
sages are received hourly from anx-
ious friends in all parts of the United
States, inquiring about relatives and
friends. Until traffic Is resumed and
all communications opened, 1t Will be
Impossible to estimate with any de-
gree of certainty either the loss OF

Historical Division, q, Time.

For convenience time is, by his
torians, usually divided into three
great eras-ancient, mediayal Tor mid
dle) and modern. The ancient period
is considered to extend from the earli-
est times down to the fall Of the Ro-
man empire in the west in A. D. 47G;
the medieval from that date to the
discovery of America by Columbus in
1902 and the modern from that time to
the present. Some historians prefer to
put the end Of the mediaval period at
the capture Of Constantinople by the
Turks, about 40 years earlier than the
Columbus event. The dark ages are
often held to be coeval with the me-
dieval era, but some authorities think
that the term should be applied only
to the part Of the era extending from
the downfall of the empire Of Charlie
magne, in the ninth century, onward. Z

that members of the Philippine COM
