Gulf Coast breeze. [volume] (Crawfordville, Fla.) 1897-19??, 1901-03-22

The prospective development OF our
submarine boat Is likely to make a
new demand on our naval training sys-
tenn With only one such boat now in
existence, the Holland. the require
ments Of the service have been met by
volunteers; but when the half-dozen
vessels of the kind now building are
completed 1t will not be possible to re-
ly only on volunteers, and a specially
trained force OF "submarinists' will be
needed. The duty on these vessels will
call for a high order of skill; II will
be also very hazardous. Our sailors
have never hesitated to volunteer for
dangerous work, as witness Cushing's
crew and Hobson's; but the require
ments Of the submarine boats are not
met by merely personal bravery. A
new rating seems needed, composed Of
trained men, who shan receive special
pay for their very special work. COM

POCAHONTAS, VA, November 25-The
dead bodies of the lost party of eight
mining officials WHO entered West Mine
OF the Pocatontas Colierles Company last
Friday morning at Il o'clock were re-
covered at 12:45 P. NJ. Sunday.
a rescuing party numbering forty per-
sons entered the main entrance, brat.icing
the mine as they went in order to i'm
prove the circulation Of the air. They
had prdceedsd $500 feet inside the en-
trance, when they encountered such guam
titles Of white damp that it was impossi>
BILE to proceed farther.
Retracing their steps, they decided to
make another attemp from the Tug river
entrance six miles across the Flat Top
Mountain. They went in this entrance
about 1870 a. NJ, and after going 600
feet found the bodies OF a. S. Hurst.
chief inspector; Robert oldham, sub-in-
spector;g and, w. Frazier Bell, mining en-
gineery, all ,hpddied together.
From their! positions these men must
have met death suddenly and without
pain. All Of them were lying face down
ward. with no signs of a struggle.
The bodies of the other five members
of the party-Walter OMalley, superin-
tendent OF mines; Joseph a. Cardwel!.
superintendent Of the Shanokin Cosl and
Coke Company: Robert E. st. Clair, sec

and Maurice ST. Clair, sub-inspector-were

lance apart.d Messrs. Robert st. Clair
and Cardwell were ing with arms clasp
ed around each other cold in death. The
bodies of Messrs. O'Malley, Maurice st.
Clair and Priest were discoloreG and
bruised about the face, showing signs or
a struggle it being that they made Il
desperate attempt at retracing their steps
to get air, but had advanced too far into
the deadly white camp to escape alive.
It's said BY members Of the rescuing
party that Messrs. Hurst. Bell and Cd
ham. would hardly have lost their lives
but for the fact that they missed their
way, entering a chamber $50 feet to the
left, near one of the passages from the
Baby mine, in which the deadly white
damp had accumulated in great guam
titles. The bodies were brought down
from the mines in four wagons. bedded
with straw and covered with snow,
which had been coming down all day.
The Bodies are nrud-swolleu, and, having
been attacked by mine rats, present a
gruesome spectacle

BREAKS HIS SWORD FIRST.
Colonel Peters Would Not Make War on
Women aud Children.
Especial Dispatch to The Tlnes.)

UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA, Nov. %
In the address made by Capt. Micajall
Woods before the Washington Literary
Society at the unwilling of the John S.
Mosby portrait last Wednesday evening,
the speaker made references to an 'ncl-
dent in the war career Of Col. VIM. T..
Peters, chairman of the meeting, and 10
the splendid record of the Washington
Society.
Capt. Woods told how in the campaign
in Pennsylvania Col. Peters was ordered
to take his company and burn the town
of Chambersburg. This was to be done
in retaliation for the devastating Of the
Shenandoah Valley by Hunter and his
men. When the intrepid Southerner re
ceived the order. he exclaimed. in the
spirit which mas ever Chara G. eriZed him,
TN break my sword before l make war
on women and children.
In referring to the record of the. WASH
ington Society, Capt Woods said thai
the records showed the society was es.
tablished in 1885, and, according to the
resolution passed, was to be called the
Washington Society; that its name, re-
calling the deed of the ilustrious Father
of American Liberty might animate them
with the desire of using tbs power
there attained for the good Of their coun-
try and the veal of their countrymen.
In 1886 interest in the society SUI
fered a decadence. and it was reorganized
through the efforts, of John L. Cochran
and n. II. N1asse who afterwards pc
came prominent men.
In 1S49 a movement was inauguTated 10
establish THE Jefferson Monument Mag
aZine,' the proceeds. to be used in erect
ing a monument to Thomas jefferson.
Thus the Washington Society was the
first to do honor to both of Virginia S
greatest. men when it would seem the
jefferson Society would have honored the
Father of the University OF Virginia.
On the Goth of April, 1861. three days
after the secession of Virginia. the So
ciety adjourned until the close of the
war. The funds We're turned over to the
Government of Virginia for the defense
of the State.
Capt. Woods said that but for iateness
Of the hour he would mention some of
the famous men who had been members
of the Washington Society. The speaker
