Trapped In a West Virginia
Mine--Eleven Bodies
Secured.
BLASTING POWDER ExpL ODED.
Said to Have Been Set Ablaze by Ac.
emulation of Gas Catching Fire
From Miners Lamp--Work of
Rescue Extremely Hazardous.

North Fork, w. Va, Sept. ia
gas and powder explosion occurred in
the Big Four mine Of the Algoma
Coal and Coke company here yester.
day morning about o'clock, as the
result of which James Lester, an en-
gineer; John Reeckie, a Hungarian
miner, and 10 colored miners were
known to be imprisoned in the mine
last night. There was hardly one
chance of the men to be recovered
alive, as they were beyond the point
where the explosion occurred. The
gas and smoke was so thick that all
rescuing parties had been driven
back. Fl. Franckenield, mining
boss. and George Gaspie, a Hun.
garian miner, succeeded in crawling
over the fallen coal and slate after
the explosion to the lights of the res
cuing party and were taken out alive,
although badly burned and nearly
suffocated by gas and smoke.
The explosion was said to have been
caused by an accumulation of gas
catching on fire from the lamp of a
miner who was going to work, and
this in turn fired SIX kegs of blasting
powder that had been stored back in
the mines.
The explosion knocked down all of
the brattiees for a quarter of mile
back towards the mine entrance, thus
cutting out all of the air from the i'm
prisoned men.
A rescuing party, headed by Mine
Inspector Cooper, attempted rescue
yesterday morning, but were driven
back by the want of air
The coal is burning and there was
no hope last night of extinguishing
the flames until new air passage
can be built to the point of the ex-
plosion.
Late last night Il bodies were re-
covered

LAWMAKERS TRIBUTE.
OHIO LEGISLATURE ADOPTED
MEMORIAL TO M'KiNLEY.
House Committee Adopted Nash Code
as Basis For Legislation-Home
Rule Defeated.

Columbus, o., Sept. 16.-The select
committee of the lower branch of the
Ohio legislature temporarily hung up
the Nash municipal code bill at
meeting yesterday morning. The SEN
ate some time ago adopted this bill
as basis upon which to work, but
the members of the house committee
who We're considering the measure
were not friendly to the bill and they
refused to adopt it on the ground that
they would not commit themselves to
vote for the bill at the time report
is formulated. The committee took
d recess with a motion to adopt the
bill still pending.
Indications yesterday seemed to
point to at least three weeks con
tinuous session before the house will
be ready to vote upon the bill as
whole. and even then it will in no
wise resemble any OF the bills now
pending There will be sessions of
conference committee the week fol
lowing, so that it will be more than
a month before the municipal govern
ment question in Ohio shall be set,
tied.
The Nash code was adopted as
basis at the afternoon session.
A vote ON home rule resulted in it's
defeat-12 to 8.
After a stormy session last night
the code committee of the house
adopted the plan OF single heads for
departments of municipal govern
ments. The board plan and the
straight federal plan were voted down.
1t was decided that the officers of
cities should consist of a mayor, a
president of council and a solicitor,
elected for two years each; an audi
tor elected for three years. and a
treasurer, whether appointiye or cleo
tive yet to be determined. The mat
ter of the mead of the department of
public works was under consideration
when the session ended for the day.
'psldopV Aslu!NoW OF IelIomaM
The following memorial was adopt
ed yesterday afternoon by the gen.
eral assembly:
Sunday the 14th day of Septem-
Der, 1902, was the first anniversary
of the death of our late loved presi-
dent Mckinley. The day brings in
special emphasis, illumed by the his
tory of another year, a newer and
better vision of the fine qualities of
his mind, the enduring strength Of his
character and the single purpose of
his life, established in patriotism to
serve his country to the full measure
Of his great powers. while God or
dained for him to live; high on the
tablet roll of our great men stands
his name in letters large and fine;
deep craven in the hearts of his coun.
irymen is his memory; his history
will endure.
We realize how poor and made
quate are the words of any brief re-
view to even epitomize the results Of
his living Having loved him In life.

the best you could to con
vince him that what you

You would tell him why he

they were better than he

THROWING STONES AT CROKER

Mr.. Croker is not dead leader yet
by any means. Some of those who are
row throwing stones at him may find
that out by the time another political
campaign for the control of New York
city is begun.
On the day before New Years Mr.
Guggenhemer, the president of the
New York City Council gave a dinner
to members of the Council. One of the
speakers was Councilman Stewart
Brice. In the coarse of his speech he
said that Mr.. Croker would be sent to
Moat House, Berks, England, to live
and die, and that with his influence
gene honesty and decency would reign
in Tammany Hall, and that two years
hence Tammany would sweep the city.
The remarkable thing in connection
with this speech was the applause with
which the attack on Mr.. Croker was
received. 1t seemed to have the APP
prevail of the great majority of those
present,
year ago no member of Tammany
would have dared to give utterance to
such sentiments, and among the adj
herents of Tammany, utterances derog-
atory to Mr.. Croker would have been
Kissed. Now, however attacks are
made on Mr.. Croker openly. This would
seem to indicate that in the opinion of
many of the Tammanyites Mr.. Croker's
power is broken.
There is no doubt, of course, that his
residence in England for a large part
of each year has helped to weaken his
hold upon his followers. Besides. it is
very generally believed that he sacri-
feed Tammany at the last municipal
election in order to help few friends.
He insisted upon having upon the
ticket men who were in bad repute
vita very large percentage of the
voters. If all of the men on the Tam
many ticket in that election had been
without stain on their public repu-
tations Mr.. Low would not have won
the election so easily. Indeed. it is a
question whether the Tammany ticket
would not have been elected.
1t would not be surprising if Mr..
Croker should remain in England on
his return there next February. He is
a sensitive man and it no doubt hurts
him to see Tammany falling away
from him. His failure to prevent the
nomination of Perry Belmont to Con
gress is pretty good indication that
his power is waning. He has been the
boss of Tammany for long time, and
IN his case history is but repeating it,
self. The leaders come and go and Mr..
Croker seems to be going.

Lord Stanmore who is now 70 years
old, enjoys the distinction of being the

The Queen of Spain has conferred

formerly worn by an Austrian arch
duchess, who has just died.
1t is stated that Lord Salisbury
will retire from political life after the
conclusion of the coronation festivities,
and that the King will grant him the
dignity of a dukedom. AS matter of
fact, the prime minister might, with
come a duke at any time within the
last fifteen years. On at least three
occasions Queen Victoria urged him
to accept a dukedom, and each time he
respectfully declined the proffered
honor. There is one other wealthy and
influential peer who is understood to
be in the running for a ducal coronet.
