HUNDREDS ARE DEAD
JOHNSTON MINE EXPLOSION.
Great Loss of Life Recalls the Terri
BILE Flood Disaster-Explosio
Caused by Fire Damp in Cambria
Steel Companys Mine-Large
Number Of Men Still in the Mine.

Johnstown, Pa, July 11.-Johnstown
disaster. only less frightful than the
awful calamity of May 81. 1889, in cost
of life. A terrible explosion took place
in the Cambria Steel Company rolling
mill mine, under Westmont hill, early
yesterday afternoon. and how many
are dead 1t may take several days to
fully determine. That it is n long and
shocking list, and it may reach 700 or
more men, seems certain.
At II 30 p. IN. the first four victims
We're brought to the surface from the
Klondike section.
They were William Robinson, who
was unconscious when found; John Re
tallio, alive and in pretty good shape,
and two unknown Slavs, both alive,
but unconscious.
DIR. John b. Lowman of this city,
who came up with the men. said he
passed twenty-five dead bodies, some
of them in sitting postures.
At 1915 o'clock this morning Gen
eral Manager Moore of the mines, who
with Superintendent Robinson had pen
etrated to considerable distance in
the Klondike. had reached a telephone
station and notified the men at the
main entrance that he had recovered
fifty-three bodies.
Further news came few moments
later that Mine Superintendent Robin
son, who had gone into the mine with
General Manager Moore, had been
overcome with fire damp and was un-
able to continue. He had been carried
to the Mill Creek entrance.
AS near as can be learned. less than
twelve Americans We're killed. The rest
We're HunSarians and Slavs.
Harry Rodgers, the foreman of the
mine, is undoubtedly dead.
William Stibich spent several hours
at the Mil Creek opening. He said
that he believed as many as 4J0 men
We're still in the mine. In his opinion,
from all he could CLEAN, not more than
$50 men had come out.
The mining officials of the Cambria
company stated the explosion was one
of fire-damp. The few survivors who
have escaped front the depths of the
mine describe conditions to be fright
full in their nature.
Outside of the "KlondilSe." the min
ers are safe and uninjured. Within
the fatal limits of the mine the havoc
wrought is such as beggars descrip-
tion. Solid walls of masonry three feet
through We're torn down as though
barriers of paper. The roofs of the
mine were demolished. and not n door
remains standing. In the face of these
difficulties. even the most heroic eff
forts towards rescue may well seem
hopeless.
The stories of the men who escaped
nre miraculous.

NUMBER TWENTY SHOES.
They viii Fit Michigan Boy Who Is
Sixteen Years Old.

When Louis Merkanen buys a new
"Duild," not make" them, says the
the Chicago Chronicle. There is a dis
tinction. Louis does not wear an ordi-
nary shoe. He wears quite an extraor-
Louis is just sixteen years old. Not
withstanding his youthfulness, he is
seven feet tall and weighs $50 pounds.
He is the wonder of his community,
for his parents are small. His mother
is not over five feet tall, while his
father is medium sized.
Louis went to local shoe dealer
yesterday and ordered a new pair of
shoes and now the wielder of the awl
is busy building" a pair Of lasts the
size of Louis feet. The lad grows
three inches year on an average and
IL he does not stop growing-which is
unlikely-he will be eight feet and two
inches in height when he is twenty
years old. Two years ago he wore a
No. 16 shoe. Last year when he was
confirmed at the Finnish church the
shoemaker built pair, size No. IS,
for that event. At this rate If his feet
continue to grow as they have he will
require size No. 2S when he is twenty
years old. Louis had some difficulty
in entering the door OF the shoe store,
for there was just n fraction of an
inch to spare, but he made it all right.
However, Louis Is good natured and
happy as most large people are, and
will go to work in the Boston mine in
few days.

CONVICTS BOLD SCHEME.
CAUSED A BOARD OF TRADE TO RAISE
$500 FOR A PHANTOM FACTORY.

Elmira, n. Y, Jan. 2.-The arrest of Emil
Weinberger, instructor in the tailoring de-
partment at the Reformatory. disclosed bold
scheme to swindle Spencer, Mass. people by a
convict named George E. Shepard. who is con-
fined in the Reformatory charge of grand
larceny in the second degree.
Shepard sent letters to the Spencer (AIass) }
Board of Trade through weinberger. in which
he offered TO locate a branch factory of the
Shepard Knitting Mil Company of Maryland.
in Spencer. for a bonus of 81. 800. The Spencer
Board of Trade accepted his offer and raised the
money. Shepard wrote to a firm Of architects
in Spencer asking them to prepare plans for a
building which they informed him would cost
200. He had a representative on the spot
TO attend TO the necessary arrangements, and
1t is said that deed to certain property to be
used as a site for the factory sent here.
Il is supposed that Shepard wished to use the
deed as collateral upon which to obtain money.
and intended to get more money from con-
tractors as a guarantee for the erection of the
building within the specified time. With the
money thus obtained the Reformatory author
tiles believe he intended to bribe a guard TO aid
him to escape.
formatory has informed the Spencer parties of
his discovery, and has discharged four employees
for completely in the deal. He also caused the
arrest OF Weinberger. The Shepard Knitting
Mill Company knew nothing OF theinegotiat1ons
transacted in their name.
