FIRE DAMP EXPLODED

"As to the direct cause OF the explosion
I cannot exactly say. We know there
was an explosion OF fire damp in the
sixth right heading OF a section of the
mine commonly known as the Klondike.
So far as / can find out now there were
not more than three or four deaths from
the explosion itself The balance were
caused by the after damp.

Mr.. Roosevelt has received from Sec
retary Root, the popes note In reply to
Gov. Taft's proposition. the note having
been cabled by Gov. Taft to the war de-

At this time no official statement win

LITTLE HOPE HELD OUT

That many OF the men who were
thought last night TO be still In the Cam
bria mine will be able TO survive until
reached by the rescuing party Is not
thought probable. Immediately succeed
ing the explosion the air all over the big
mine became so foul that even with the
huge pumps working TO their fun ca
pacity and the air they supplied turned
into the proper channels to reach the
imprisoned men, mono Of the mine off,
cials would hold out any hope for the
lives Of those thought to be still in the
mine.
Up until 2 o'clock this morning only
four men had been taken to hospitals.

BrRIAL oF FATHER HARTY.

The special train bearing the re mains of Father Harty arrived in Tor rington at 2:50 yesterday afternoon. The procession to the cemetery was headed by fifty men representing the five New Britain societies, A. o. H., K. of O., T. A. and B., Catholic legion and Knights of St Patrick. Following them were the bearers in an open car- riage, and then the hearse and sixteen closed carriages. The first two con- tained the Sisters of Mercy and the rest the visiting priests and intimate friends of the family. Two hundred and fifty children from the Torrington parochial schools were drawn up in line on Water street as the procession passed. At the Roman Catholic ceme- tery the services, conducted by Father Duggan of St Francis's church of Tor rington, were simple and impressive, closing with prayers and the benedic- tus sung by the priests. The burial was i'll the family plot.

 Berlin on Account of Smallpox.
 New Britain, March 12.-The au- thorities of Berlin are taking strenu- ous methods to wipe out the smallpox which has broken out in their midst. The Ledge school was closed yester- day and all sanitary precautions are being taken about the Crossley houses, which are under quarantine. Lime has been freely sprinkled about and three men are on guard, the day being divided up into watches of eight hours each. Dr Paige has been appointed attending physician.
 The 15-year-old son of Charles Crossley complained of a sore throat yesterday morning, but 1t was not diagnosed then as smallpox.
 A report that Crossley escaped quarantine from Alabama and fled to Berlin is not believed by Selectman Taylor. The mans goods arrived at the Berlin freight depot yesterday morning. Selectman Taylor has taken measures to have them removed to 2 storehouse and fumigated.
 A joiner from Waterbury, who is at work upon the new library, boarded with the family up to last Friday. He was quarantined yesterday in the library. He has been supplied with food and bedding and continues his work there but cannot come out.
 A 22-year-old son of MT Crossley's came from Waterbury to see his par ents Sunday night, but he was not al- lowed to go near the house.

 "A little boy about years of age was found wandering about Brooklyn yesterday afternoon by Officer Me Carthy. The boy could not tell his name, nor the street on which he lived. The officer placed him on the trolley car and brought him to the children's nursery on Leavenworth street.
 The doctors are kept rather busy these days in vaccinating people as may be judged from the following. A man in this section telephoned to g doctor yesterday morning asking him to come over to certain street and vacinnate 14 persons in one house, persons in another and persons in a third house. The doctors reply was, that if the above persons wished to be vaccinated, they would have to go to his office. He could not spare the time to make any calls.
 A fire was discovered in the two- story building at $50 Bank street, owned by Mrs John Murphy, this morning about 1 o'clock. The build ing is occupied by Jonas Galminas, who conducts dry goods store on the first floor, and with his family oc- cupies the second floor. The fire is said to have been discovered by Mrs Hebert, who lives in the adjoining building. A still alarm was first sent into Protector Hose company and then an alarm was sent in from bax 32, corner of Bank and Riverside streets. The members of the Protector Hose company did admirable work. Owing to their quickness and efficiency in placing stream of hose upon the fire, thfe is no doubt but that the large block at the corner of Bank and North Leonard street, which is also owned by Mrs John Murphy, would have been eaten up by the flames.

The fire had gained much headway before the firemen had arrived and it was only good work up- on the part of the firemen that the ad- joining buildings were saved. The damage to the building was from $10O to S150 and to the stock, from $GOO to $500. Both are insured Proprietor Galinmas was not home last night. He went to New York yesterday.
