DEATH LIST INCREASED.
Goliad, Texas, Tornado Even Worse
Than First Reported.

Houston. Texas, Hay 20.-The list of
dea9 and injured as the result of the
Goliad tornado is as given late last
night. with the exception of William
Maddox. whose name should be taken
from the list of injured and placed
among the dead.
There are nnety-eight dead and 1O3
injured. though further search of the
ruins and reports from the country
may cause an addition to this list
In Goliad. forty doctors are caring
for the injured There may be Il few
deaths. but The opinion of a majority
of the physicians is that all will re
cover.
(. Reports from fhe country show that
a number of houses We're wrecked and
much stock and only three persons
hurt. none fatally.
The property loss in the city and sur
rounding country will probably reach
$4,000. The storm swept the city
from end to end. and demolished 100
stores and residences.

TWO HUNDRED DEAD
AWFUL coLLIERY EXPLOSION.
Disaster in the sratervilIe Mine at
Boys Killed by the Explosion of
Gas-OnIy One Came Out Alive,
and He Will Die.

Coal Creek, Tenn. May 2O.-Bctwecn
l15 and 225 men and boys met instant
death at the Fraterville coal mine To-
Gated two miles west of this town at
I 80 O'Clock yesterday morning. be-
cause of Il gas explosion.
OF the large number of men and boys
who went to work yesterday morning
only one is alive. and he is so badly
injured that he cannot live. This man
is William Morgan. an aged English
man. who was Il road man in the mine.
He was blown out of the entrance
by the force of the explosion.
One hundred and seventy-five miners
were checked in for work yesterday
morning by the mine boss. In addi-
tion to these there We're boys who
acted as helpers and drivers. and road
men and others to the number of per
haps fifty.
The Fraterville mine is the oldest
mine in the Coal Creek district, hav-
ing been opened in 1870. 1t is fully
three miles from the opening of the
mine to the point where the men were
at work. They had not been at work
long before the terrible explosion oc-
Cured. There was fearful roar. and
and the arShaftS.
sAs soon as possible two rcscuing par
ties We're started in. one ut the main
entrance. the other through the Thistle
mine, which adjoins and in which no
men were at work. The Thistle party
was unable to make any headway. as
the gas Stited the workers. The Frat
erville party went fully two miles un-
der the earth until a heavy fall of
slate was encountered. At this barrier
men worked desperately. hoping
against hope that those beyond might
be safe.
The news of the disaster spread
quickly. and the scenes ut the mouth
of the mine while the workers We're
within We're beyond description.
Business was suspended in Coal
Greek and all its mines as soon as the
news became known. and men. women
and children gathered around the Frat
crville entrance. Women whose hus-
bands and sons were within We're wild
with grief.
All day long the rescuerS toilcd at
the slate obstruction. and not until .
O'Clock did they force an entrance
through it. Up to that hour only five
dead bodies had been recovered and
hope was still high that many miners
within We're safe. The hopes of the
living were doomed. however. for when
once the rescuers had entered and pro-
ceeded they walked along one con-
tinuous tomb of death. There was not
a sign of life. Every man had per-
ished, they believed, although it will be
early in the morning before all the
rooms can be entered.

Houston. Texas. May 1S.-At 3:4J
this afternoon Il tornado struck the
beautiful and historical town of Goliad
and left death and desolation in its
pathway beyond the power of pen to
portray.
A correspondent reached the scene at
I O'Clock. on Il special train from Vic
toria. Texas bearing doctors. nurses
and medicines. friends and relatives
of Goliad people and the O'Connor
guards. The scene which met the eye
on reaching the scene of destruction,
which was in the western part of the
city, was appalling. Between Church
and Patrice streets, which run north
and south distance of Il mile in
length. only one house was left stand
ing and scarcely IA vestise of man could
be seen. Very little damage was done
except within these boundaries, IL
width of go yards. The tornado was
preceded Il few moments by heavy
hailstorm and deep rumbling sound.
but no one had any premonition of the
disaster, and there was no opportunity
for escape to refuge. as the cyclone.
dealing death and disaster, was all over
in few moments.
The section which most suffered was
the residence portion. the lower part
being the negro settlement while the
upper part contained many residences
The Methodist and Baptist churches
and the Baptist parsonage, both just
completed. and the negro Methodist
church were destroyed. The Episcopal
church was badly damaged and fully
100 houses We're totally destroyed. The
stone residence of Il. Y. Davis of the
Goliad Guard was the only building
in the pathway of the storm not dcmol-
ished, and it is Il wreck.
The people of Goliad. realizing AT
once the stpendous nature of the ca
lamity and the terrible loss of life and
injured. telcphoned to her sister cities
of Cuero and Victoria for assistance.
which was responded to Immediately.
General Superintendent Forbes stop
ped the regular Beeville train at Goliad
and turned it back to Victoria. bringing
on the return trip six doctors from
there and an abundance of medicines
and surgical appliances. Another train
came later from Cuero with Il number
of physicians and dozens of nurses and
many citizens.
Dallas. Texas. May 1S.-A special
to the News from Houston says mat
telephone message received from
Goliad late tonight reports that $50
or more persons We're killed and in
jured by the tornado which swept over
that village to-day. No veritication is
obtainable. Among those reported lost
are the members of the family of the
Goliad telephone manager.

BURLINGTON, Vt, June 9.-With the
returns in from forty more towns that
held caucuses on Saturday. the stand
ing Of candidates in the Republican
gubernatorial contest is claimed to be
as follows:
Mccullough. 31s; Clement, PIG; Proc

seem to preclude McCulIough's nomina-
tion on the first ballot. as he lacks
forty-three votes of having the neces-
sary majority. 363, and there are only
twenty delegates yet TO be elected.
The total number Of delegates will be
725. owing to RoyaItoa's failure to
elect.
