to Fall Upon WOrshippers.
FIVE OF THE VICTIMS MAY DIE

While Minister Was In the Midst of
Easter Sermon Building Was IN.

Church-Scores Of Houses Damaged.
Pittsburg, Pa, March 31.-One OF
the dercest wind storms ever known
in this section struck the city yester-
day just before noon and did almost
incalculable damage to property and
injured many people, some of whom
may die from the effects of their
wounds. Scores of houses were un
rooted many trees were blown down.
mill stacks toppled over, and tele-
graph and telephone wires were gen.
orally disabled.
The most serious accident reported
last night was the unroofng OF the
Knoxville Presbyterian Church, in
Knoxville. The church at the time
was filled with an Easter congregation
numbering about 600 persons. While
the minister was in the midst of his
sermon a particularly strong gust OF
wind blew over the large chimney and
lifted a portion of the roof off the
building. The bricks from the chin
ney crashed through the roof and car
ried a huge piece of the hardwood
ceiling, measuring about 40 by 20 feet,
down upon the worshippers in the
| pews.
An indescribable panic ensued and
a frantic rush was made for the doors
and windows The excitement was
soon quieted and the work of rescue
begun. At least 40 persons were
caught by the wreckage and more OF

The humor of Theodore Hook was
the subject the other day Of a more

Academy of London. This did not
please Mr.. G. S. Street, who. in a
lively letter to the offender, says:
Il believe the truth to be that mere
" mechanical and brainless humor like
that of Theodore Hook can never ont
live the generation it first amused.
The great humorists, of course. were
men who could think and feel. Rabe-
lais was philosopher. man with
scorns and ideals; Sterne had the ten.
derest feeling for what was kindly and
simple in men and women. Not TO
linger among the giants, even second
rate but true humOr has some mean
ing and point to it, or, if it be mere
high spirits, one can test its author,
as a rule, OH another side. Theodore
Hook has left US this test, unluckilv
for him. Have you ever read one of
his serious novels? | remember-but

his called The Parsons Daughter, and

AwFuL MINE DISASTER
Eighteen Dead in Coal Dust Explosion
at DAYTON. Tenn.

at Dayton, Tenn.
Chattanooga, Tenn, April AT
AS o'clock yesterday afternoon an
explosion of gas in the Nelson mine
Of the Dayton Coal and Iron company.
at Dayton, Tenn. ignited the dry coal
dust in the mine and caused a terrifie
explosion Eighteen men are known
to be dead. Fourteen bodies have been
recovered and four more are rep.ru-
ed to be yet in the nine
Gas exists in the Nelson mine, AMI
the men are required to use safety
lamps. 1t is the rule of the company
for the miners to place their fuses
ready to be lighted for blasts just be-
fore quitting work each day, and there
are workmen known as "firemen," who
go through the mine after all the min
ers are out and set off these blasts.
The miners quit work at 4.30 o'clock
yesterday afternoon. 1t takes them
about As minutes to get out of the
mine. The two 'firemen" yesterday,
who are supposed to have caused the
explosion, are Lark Hunter and John
Harvey. They shot the blasts about
4.45 o'clock, before all the miners
could get out Of the mine 1t is sup
posed that one of the fuses was de-
fective and resulted in what is known
as blown blast" The flame shoot
ing out from the blast ignited the gas,
which in turn ignited the accumula-
ton of dry coal dust in the mine
The explosion that followed was hor-
rible in its intensity 1t shot out Of
the mouth of the mine and completely
wrecked the shed at the mine en-
trance. Three men were killed while
standing outside the mine, and two
seriously and one fatally injured. The
force of the explosion literally man.
gled and tore the bodies to pieces.

8 O'clock The members Of the family
had retired, with the exception of one
son, who was away. In the house at
the time were sleeping Mr. and Mrs.
Mitchell, the children who were
burned and three other children. Mrs.
Mitchell and her daughter Sophia
were the first to be awakened by the
heat and smoke of the flames. They
woke the father and ran outside and
screamed for help. Neighbors were
aroused, but could do nothing but
stand heiplessly by and watch the
house consumed, and with it the
bodies of the father and five children.
Mrs Mitchell endeavored to save the
children and gathered them in room
above the kitchen. They were fright
ened, and as fast as she got them into
this room they ran back into the fire
Finally she was compelled to abandon
her efforts to save all the children.
Mr.. Mitchell as soon as he knew
what was wrong rushed down stairs tC
the kitchen to get some water to ex
tinguish the fire He did not realize
the extent of the flames when he left
his room. but when he reached the
first floor he saw that it was impossi
bic to save the house. Then he went
back upstairs and was not seen alive
again. He persisted in the burning
rafters Of his own home trying tt
save the lives Of his children. The
five children were never seen by an!
one outside the house.
Mrs Mitchell was seriously burned
but her injuries will not prove fatal
The house was reduced to a pile o
ruins
