TERRIFIC EXPLOSION
Twenty-Five Dead and Hun
dreds Injured.
FEARFUL ACCIDENT NEAR PITTSBURG
Carloads of Burning Naphtha Spread
Death and Destruction Far and
Wide Great Loss of
Property.

PITTSBURG. May 13.-The Shera-
was the scene last evening of one of
the most disastrous explosions and fire
known in this section for many years.
\ score of lives were lost, and about
POO persons were so badly burned that,
according to the judgment of physi-
clans in attendance, 15 per cent of
them will die from the effects of their
injuries.
The cause of the catastrophe was the
explosion of a train of naphtha cars
which were being switched at the
yards, and in the switching the rear
car telescoped car forward. The leak
ing naphtha ignited from a switch
light, causing an explosion which
threw the flames fifty feet high. Much
of the escaping naphtha ran through
Cork's Run to Esplen Borough, dis
lance of one and a half miles. and
caused another explosion. blowing to
atoms the Seymour hotel and the Col
Inns House, on River road, and badly
wrecking Il frame building near by in
which We're congregated 200 or more
sports from Pittsburg and vicinity bet
ting on the races. baseball, etc. Few Of
the occupants of this building escaped
injury. many being badly hurt. Mrs.
Seymour and her daughter of the Sher
alden hotel We're seriously and, it is
feared, fatally injured.
The first car of naphtha exploded
n bOut 4 40 o'clOck and the SDpctnclp
soon attracted Il large crowd on streets
lining the hills on both sides of and
parallel to the railroad. The second car
exploded about 3 o'clock, but it was
6:15 when three more cars of the dead
ly stuff went up with roar that could
be heard for miles that the work Of de-
struction really began.
A torrent of flame belched forth on
either side of the track, sweeping back
the terrified spectators like "A charge
of artillery and sending shower Of
flame over their heads resembling Mont
Pelee on small scale.
The scene that followed beggars de-
scription. The successive explosions
had heated the air to such an extent
that before the third explosion many
were rendered unconscious by the eX-
IRENE heat and the gaseous fumes and
were being carried away when the tor
rent of flame swept over the excited
crowd
All the ambulances from Pittsburg
and Allegheny, together with many
physicians, were quickly ON the scene,

THE TIEUP COMPLETE
Work Entirely Suspended In
Anthracite Coal Region.
MINERS NUMBERING $4,000 IDLE.
ConI Companies Prepare For n Long
Struggle by Discharging Train
Crews and Help Gem

PHILADELPHIA, May 13.-Mine
workers throughout the entire anthra-
cite coal regions of Pennsylvania to
the number of $4,000 have formally
begun their struggle for increased
wages and shorter hours. Never in the
history of hard coal mining has tie
up been so complete. not one of the 3oI
collieries in the territory being in Oper-
alton. There is every indication for the
belief that the suspension which was
to cover only the first three days of
this week will be made permanent by
the miners general convention which
will meet at Hazleton tomorrow.
Absolute quiet prevails everywhere.
In pursuance of the request of the dis
trict executive boards which met joint
ly at Scranton last week all the local
unions throughout the regions met dur
ing the day and evening and elected
delegates TO the HaZleton convention.
1t is significant in every instance where
the vote of Il local became public
property the ballot showed a decided
ma jority for a permanent strike unless
the operators grant concessions. Pre-
dictiOns are made that if it is decided
to continue the strike the struggle will
be longer and more bitter than was
that of 1900, which lasted six weeks.
The coal companies in various parts
of the regions have already made prep
arations for siege. Coal train crews,
telegraph operators, switchmen, car
penters, machinists and other employ
oes numbering several thousand not
identified with the Mine Workers I'M
ion have been laid off until further no
tice. Some of the companies have also
brought their mules to the surface and
placed them in pasture.
President Mitchell has been busy at
his headquarters. He was in close COM
munication with all the district leaders
and expressed himself as well satisfied
with the way the men responded to the
call for suspension of work He will
leave for HaZleton this afternoon.
