TORNADO IN TEXAS
MANY ARE KILLED IN eoLlAD

dred and Fifty Yards Wide-Ap.
paliing Scenes of Destruction-on
Hundred Houses Totally Demol-
ished.
Houston, Texas, May 1S.-At 3:45
this afternoon 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
Z o'clock. on n 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 Patricc streets, which run north
and south distance of n mile in
length, only one house was left stand
ing and scarcely n vestlgc of man could
be seen. Very little damage was done
except within these boundaries, II
width of go yards. The tornado was
preceded few moments by n heavy
hailstorm and deep rumbling sound.
but no one had any premonition of the
disaster. and there was no opportunity
for escape TO refuge, rs the cyclone,
dealing death and disaster was all over
In Il 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 X. T. Davis of the
Goliad Guard was the only building
in the pathway of the storm not demol-
ished, and II is a wreck.
The people of Goliad. realizing at
once the stupendous nature of the ca
lamity and the terrible loss of life and
injured, tclephoned 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 II 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 number
of physicians and dozens of nurses and
many citizens.
Dallas. Texas, May 1S.-A special
to the News from Houston says mat
n telephone message received from
Goliad late tonight reports that 100
or more persons Were killed and in
jured by the tornado which swept over
that village to-day. No veritication is
obtalnable. Among those reported lost
are the members OF the family of the
Goliad telephone manager.

TWO HUNDRED DEAD
AWFUL coLLleRy EXPLOSION.
Disaster In the rraterviile Mine at
Coal Creek, Tennessee-Men and
Boys Killed by the Explosion Of
Gas-only One Came Out Alive,
and He VIII Die.

Coal Creek, Tenn. May 20.-Between
1T5 and 225 men and boys met instant
death at the Frateryillc coal mine, To-
Gated two miles west of this town n!
7:30 O'Clock yesterday morning, be.
cause of n 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, m aged English
man, who was road man in the mine.
He was blown out Of the entrance
by the force of the explosion.
One hundred and sevcnsy-tive miners
We're checked in for work yesterday
morning by the mine boss. In addi-
ton to these there We're boys who
acted as helpers and drivers. and road
men and others to the number of per-
hnps 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 We're
at work. They had not been at work
long before the terrible explosion oc-
Cured. There was fearful roar, and
then flames shot from the entrance
and the airshafts.A
AS soon as possible two rcscuing par
ties We're started In. one at the main
entrance. the other through the Thistle
mine, which adjoins and in which no
men were mt work. The Thistle party
was unable to make any headway, as
the gas stitled the workers. The Frat
ervllle party went fully two miles un-
der the earth until 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 at the mouth
of the mine while the workers We're
within We're beyond description.
Business was suspended In Coal
Creek and all its mines as soon as the
news became known, and men. women
and children gathered around the Frat
erville entrance Women whose hus-
bands and SONS were within were wild
with grief.
All day long the rcscucrs toilcd at
the slate obstruction, and not until .
o'clock did they force an entrance
through II. Up 10 that hour only five
dead bodies had been recovered and
hope was still high that many miners
within Were safe, The hopes of the
living We're doomed, however for when
once the rescuers had entered and pro-
ceeded they walked along one con-
tinuous tomb OF death. There was not
sign of life. Every man had per-
ished. they believed. although 1t win be
early in the morning before all the
rooms can be entered.
