ing Habits-Clarke's Excellent Work.

The Cleveland team will commence
a series Of four games with the Wash
ingtons this afternoon. The chief in
torest in the contests will no doubt be
centered in the worl of Lajoic, the
$1,000 star of the Spiders, whose ser
vices were secured from Connie" Mack
Saturday, along with those OF Pitcher
Bernhard.
Another Philadelphia player who de-
end of last season, and who later was

possibly experience some trouble in

leon LaJoie and predicted that their

end of the pennant procession.
Local Fans Disappointed.
Much comment was occasioned when
the news was received OF the signing of
Laioie and Bernhard by Somers. The an
nouncement that the management of the
Washington club wanted Lajoie had
given the false hope that perhaps. after
all. this mighty player would wear a
Senatorial uniform before long. The
realization that Manager Lotus did not
make much of an effort to secure the
services of the second baseman. and that
Cleveland had thought well enough OF
him TO pay the somewhat fancy price OF
$1,000 year for four years. occasioned
quite a little unfavorable comment
among the local fans. especially as the
directors of the club have announced
that certain changes in the makeup of
The Senator's are desirable
Perhaps no other club in the American
League could afford TO pay so much
money as Cleveland. Mr.. Somers is re-
puted to have whole lot OF money
much more, in fact, than the men behind
the local club. He is vice president of
the American League as well as the
principal owner of the Clevelands, and
he has on several occasions made the
assertion that nothing is too good for
his club. He will, no doubt, set back
his 5000 paid to Laioie in increased at
tendance at home and abroad within the
next three months, and will find the ex-
Philadelphian the best baseball invest
ment he has ever made.

MINE DISASTER.

The worst disaster in the history o.
Tennessee mining occurred at 7:3s
o'clock yesterday morning when be-
tween 175 and 225 men and boys met
instant death ct the Fraterville coal
nine, two miles west OF Coal Creek. as
a result of gas explosion. Out OF the
large number OF men and boys who
went to work yesterday morning, de.
velopmeut5 at 10 O'Clock last night
show that only one is alive, and he is
so badly injured thst he cannot live.
One hundred and seventy'fve miners
were checked in for work yesterday
morning by the mine boss. In addi-
ton to these we're boys who acted ss
helpers, aud drivers, road men, and
others, to the number of perhaps fifty.
Fratervllle mine Is the oldest mine
in the Coal Creek district. having been
opened in 1870. 1t is fully three miles
from the mine opening to the point
where the men were at work. They
had not been at work long, before the
terrible sexplosion occurred. There
was fearful roar, and then flames
shot from the entrance and the air
shafts.
News of the disaster spread like wild
fire, but as soon as possible two rescur-
ing parties were started In, one at the
main entrance, the other through
Thistle mine, which adjoiDs and In
which no men were at work. The
Thistle patty was unable to make any
headwsS, as the gas stifed the workers.
The FrstervilJe party went fully two
miles uuder the ea,t1, until O heavy
fall of slate was ercOuntertd. At this
barrier men worked like demons, hop
ing agsinst LOpe that those beyond
might be safe.
The snanes st the mouth of the mine
" lilo the workers were within were
beyond description. Business had been
suspended 10 Coal Creek and all its
mines, as soon as the news of the dis-
sster became known, AID men, women
and children gathered around the Fra
terville entrance. Women whose hus-
bands and sons were within were wild
with grief.
All day long the rescuers toiled at
the slate obstruction, and not until
o'clock yesterday evening did they
force an entrance through 1t. Up to
that hour only five dead bodies had
been recovered and hope was still high
that many within were safe. The hopes
Of the living were doomed. however,
for when once the rescuers entered and
proceeded they walked through con.
tinuous tomb of death. There was moi
a sign of life. Every man had perished
Eight dead bodies we're first recov'
cred, and these were sent to Goa
Creek. Twenty-six more we're soor
found. They were not disfgured be-
yond ident fcstion, and each corpse, az
it was borne from the mouth OF the
gigantic tomb, was surrounded by
eager crowds OF relatives OF the men
who were entombed. The mine was
uot on fire, except In remote portions,
and sll bodies perhaps may be reached
before daylight.
The Fraterville mine is ownrd by the
Coal Creek Coal Company, OF which
