ALL DEAF, SAVE One
Terrible Explosion Of Gas In
Tennessee Mine.
MORE THAN 200 MINERS persisted.


| 1m8 H1nt0Fys
| KNOXVILLE, Tenn, May 20.-In
formation just received from Goa
Creek, Tenn, where the terrible ex
pIosion of gas occurred, says the res
cue party has entered the Fraterville
mine. Every man within it is dead
The list of dead will reach between
175 and 225. The work of recovering
the bodies has begun.
Out of the large number OF men and
boys who went to work yesterday
morEing developments show that only
one is alive and he is so badly injured
that he cannot live. This man was
William Morgan, an aged Englishman,
who was road man in the mine and
was blown out of the entrance by the
force Of the explosion. One hundred
and seventy-five miners were checked
in for work by the mine boss. In addi-
ton to these were boys who acted as
helpers and drivers, road men and 9th
ers to the number of perhaps fifty.
The men had not been at work long
before the terrible explosion occurred.
There was fearful roar, and then
flames shot from the entrance and the
air shafts. News of the disaster spread
like wildffre, but as soon as possible
two rescuing parties were started in,
one at the main entrance the other
through Thistle mine, which adjoins
and in which u men were at work.
The Thistle party was unable to make
any Roadway, as the gas stided the
workers. The Fratervills party went
fully two miles under the earth, until
a heavy fall of slate was encountered.
At this barrier men worked like de-
mons, hoping against hope that those
beyond mi int be safe.
All day long the rescuers toiled at
the slate obstruction, and not until
O'Clock in the evening did they force an
entrance through it. Up to that houl
only five dead bodies had been recov-
cred, and hope was still high that
many within We're safe. The hopes Of
the living were doomed, however, for
when once the rescuers could enter and
proceed they walked through contn-
uous tomb Of death. There was not
sign Of life. Every man had persisted,
they believed. although all the rooms
have not as yet been entered.
The Fraterville mine is located in
Anderson county, Tenn. 1t is owned
by the Coal Greek Coal company, of
which Major Il. G. Camp of this city
is president and general manager.
This is the Oldest mine in the Coal
Creek district, having been opened in
1870. A large area has been developed
and worked. The Coal Creek coal |
seam is struck by this mine the hard |
and tenacious top averaging four and |
one-half feet in thickness. The Fra
tervilIe mine has always been consid-
eled one of the safest mines in the |

In passing a market the other day we
saw a lot of fiat turnips and took some
home. The sight of them reminded us
of a turnlp patch which man had in
a field near where a brook ran and
which gave opportunity for hungry
boys while fishing to get a luncheon.

nlpS used to taste we sampled one of
these, but the flavor wasn't so satiSfac-
tory. But the conditions We're diff

The fault is in the turnips, Brother
Evans. We say this with due allow

OF course my "turnip days" began be-

were no doubt about the same. Either
the variety of turnips with which we
used to regale ourselves has run out, or
the country has got too old to produce
them. The turnip needs new ground
Then the turnips you bought were no
doubt the usual market article, brought

find any that were eatable.

Mysteries of Watch Making.

The National Magazine in nearly
every number has one or more articles
on characteristic great American indus
tries,-those most impressive express
sions of the life of the time,-enter-
prises which have set this country at
the head of the list of producers. In
the August National, Bennett Chapple
tells the extremely interesting story of
how the Waltham watch is made. How
many of you know that there are $50
parts in the ordinary watch? Or that
3, 746 mechanical operations are requir-
ed to produce it? Yet these are among
the least astonishing of the facts de-
veloped by Mr.. Chapple during a visit
to the great factory at Waltham, Mass,
which during its half century of oper-
alton has turned out over twelve mil
lion of watches. The day has passed
when one could keep posted on Ameri-
can affairs by reading literary month
lies. Nowadays, the best talent is en-
ployed in industrial enterprises, and no
part of the National is read with keener
interest than its articles on great
American industries.

cordial support. There was no personal
bitterness because of the campaign
! Gov. Burleigh and Mr.. Miliken were
good friends till the day of the latter's
death. In fact. Mr. Milliken's last din
ner in Maine was eaten at the govern
or's residence. When the vacancy
arose Gov. Burleigh was eventually
nominated by acclamation i'll the sum-
! mer of 1897. There were two or three
other candidates at the start, but they
promptly withdrew, the game fight he
had made five years before having con-
vinced the people of the district that he
was entitled to the nomination.
1t is a striking coincidence that the
very few good political generals in the
House are men of quiet demeanOr
None could be more so than Gov. Bur-
leigh. He is modest almost to a fault,
yields graciousiv to his elders in Con-
gressiona service, but withal is the
most tenacious of men in carrying out
what he undertakes. When one would
think him in retreat he is doubling on
his tracks and preparing for an assault
with new energy. He went diligently
about the unpretentioTs duties of serv-
ing his constituents as soon as he arriv-
ed in Washington and kept piling up
results, which increased his reputa
ton at home for usefulness. Whether
1t was a question of better postal facil-
ltleS for some little farming community
on the northern border of his district or
urging the interests of the great granite
quarries along the Maine coast in some
government contract, he watched the
matter with the same zeal.
