200 MINERS ARE ENTONED AFTER RECENT ERUPTONS
AN AWFUL MINE DISASTER.
CauEht by nm Explosion i'm Two
Mines ut Coal Creek, Tenn.-Only
One known tn Have Escaped
Rescuing Parties Driven Back by
the Gas-Mines Are on Fire.

Knoxville, Tenn, May 2l.-A special
10 the Sentinel says the Faterville and
Thistle coal mines at Coal Creek, Tenn,
exploded. Only one man escaped, he be-
ing out of the mine. About 800 men were
at work in the mines. Flames are now
issuing from the mouths of vent holes.
George N. Camp, superintendent OF the
thistle mine, gave out an official state
ment estimating the number OF killed in
both mines at $50. None have been res
eyed.
The frltervile coal mine is located in
Anderson county, Tennessee 1t is owned
by the Coal Creek Coal company, of
which Major H. G. Camp of this city is
president and general manager This is
t.e oldest mine in the district, having
Deen opened in 1870 A large area has
been developed and worked. The Coal
Creek seam is struck by this mine, the
hardest vein averaging four and one halt
feet in thickness. The Fratervlle has been
considered one Of the safest mines in the
Coal creek belt.
A special to the Sentinel says:
Two rescuing parties were started into
the Thistle and Fratervile mine en-
frances as soon as possible after the ex-
plosion. The Thistle party was unable to
make any Roadway whatever as the gas
stifled the men almost as soon as they
entered the shaft The Fraterville party
went as far as "the parting of the ways"
into the mine, where ..eavy fail of slate
was encountered This cut off made
further progress in the mine impossible at
present. The intense heat indicates that
the mine is on fire
At 1 o'clock there was no longer any
question out that the Thistle miners also
sunocated in the disaster. At l:3O
o'clock one man was taken from the
mouth of The Fraterville mine. He was
an unrecognzabIe mass of flesh.
Number OF Dead Uncertain.
Knoxville, May 2l.-The staff CORE
spondcnt OF the Knoxville Sentinel. who i
at Coal Creek, Tenn, wires the following:
As result OF an explosion in the Fra.
tervllie coal mines, two miles west of
town, at 1870 o'clock this morning, prob
ably between 200 and 300 persons have
been killed
Superintendent George Camp states
that he is positive that 1860 men were in
the mine, and there may have oeen 25O 10
300. This he can not determine until
further investigation Is made out of the
vast number only five have been recoy.

Dallas, Texas, May IA special
from Goliad. Texas, says:
Ninety are dead. Over 100 are
wounded. In addition there is gaping
wound in the town-the path of one of
the most destructive cyclones ever
known in Texas. The tornado struck
this place about 3:45 o'clock yesterday
afternoon, lasting only about five min
utes, leaving death and destruction ev-
erywhere in it's wake.
1t came from the southeast without
a warning completely demolishing
strip about two blocks wide through
the whole western part of the town,
about mile long. Among the many
houses destroyed are the Baptist
church and parsonage, just built, the
Methodist church and a colored
church. It is impossible to estimate
the number of houses destroyed, bur
it is thought the number will reach
100. The damage done can not be ap-
proximated, but it is very great. All
the human dead and wounded have
been taken care of.
The path of devastation is strewn
with all kinds Of debris and dead and
wounded animals
The pitiful cries of the wounded are
heard everywhere and at times are
heartrending. A report from the coun-
try around Goliad is to the effect that
no damage was done. A special train
he
sicians, nurses and many volunteers
came from Victoria. Although every
thing is done for the relief of the
wounded, cries for physicians and med
ical attention are everywhere heard.
