~ ARE KNOWN To BE DEAD.
Ten Bodies Have Been Recovered and
II More Bodies Were Reported
Yet to Be In the Mine-oceurred
at Dayton, Tenn.

Chattanooga, Tenn, April An
explosion of gas generated by coal
dust occurred in the Nelson mine of
the Dayton Coal and Iron company,
at Dayton, Tenn, at o'clock yesteT-
day afternoon. twenty-five men are
known to be dead. Ten bodies have
been recovered and IL bodies are re-
ported to be yet in the mine
Gas exists in the Nelson mine and
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 fire
men, who go through the mine after
all the miners are out and set off
these blasts. The miners quit work
at 4:30 O'Clock yesterday afternoon.
1t takes them about 45 minutes to get
out OF the mine. The two "firemen9
yesterday who are supposed to have
caused the explosion are Lark Hunter
and John Harvey. They shot the
blasts at 4 45 O'Clock, before all the
miners could get out of the mine. 1t
is supposed that one of the fuses was
defective and resulted in a blown
blast

oLEoMAReARINE BILL UP.
Simmons Made His Maiden Speech
In Senate Yesterday

Washington, April 1.-During the
entire session of the senate Monday
the oleomargarine bill was under con
sideration. Three speeches were de-
livered, two in support of the meas.
ure and one against it.
Mr.. Simmons, of North Carolina.
made an extended argument in oppo-
sition to the bill, reinforcing CO.
gent points heretofore made against
the proposed legislation and adding
some new and forceful arguments.
This was Mr.. Simmons maiden
speech in the senate and he was cor
daily congratulated at it's conclusion
Mr.. Dillingham;, of Vermont, pre-
scented a strong legal argument in
support of the measure and vigorous
ly arraigned the manufacture of oleo-
margarine for imposing, as he said, a
fraud upon the people.
In supporting the pending bill Mr..
McCumber of North Dakota, ex-
pressed the belief that the farmers Of
the country were entitled to the pro-
lection offered by the bill. Incident
ally, he advocated general pure food
legislation.

AN AWFUL DEATH.
A Little Boys Fall Into Fiery Coke
Oyen--His Body Burned to Crisp
W0rkmen Pulled IL Out with an lrou
Seraner-The Lad had been at Play.

MAsoNrowN, April AT the
Bessemer coke works, Jesse, little
son of James Henderson,, fell into
one oil the red hot ovens and there
met an awful DEATH When taken
out his body was unacceptable as
that OF human being.
The lad was about years old lie
had been playing on the top Of the
ovens with some other boys OF his
size. They had just been driven away
by the superintendent, but the Hen
dershot boy, instead OF leaving with
the other boys, climbed onto one Of
the larries. A misstep caused him
to lose his grip right above the CIR
cular hole Of an oven, and his little
body shot down through the open
ing into the red hot mass of burning
coal.
The men who witnessed the sig hit,
were so Mortified and dumbfounded
for few moments that they could
not make move. 70 rescue the lad
alive, however, was impossible Quick
work alone could save the body from
being totally cremated. Hastily the
front door of the oven, which is
always plastered shut when the oven
is charged, was torn out and the
long iron scraper used in drawing
coke was thrust into the center OF
the mass, where the shriveling,, burn
ing body lay, and 1t was quickly
drawn out The workmcn were al
most overcome by the sight. There
was little left of the body but crisp.
Coroner Hagan was notified OF the
accident, but an inquest will hardly
be necessary.

STEWART DECLINES TO RUN.
He is not a Candidate for Office
of Mayor.

Throws Some hot Wallops into Meth
DDS Of Naming Candidates-He /
Glad that Present System viii not be
Used any L0nger-Adyice to Voters.
Special to the NEw DOMINION.
The printing OF various suggestion
tickets IN your paper in which | am
named asa candidate for mayor has
caused large number of voters to
believe that / am a candidate for
that office / wish to announce
through your columns that I am not
candidate for mayor At the same
time | wish to express my thanks to
those voters whose friendly consider
alton of my name for this position
has manifested itself through the
columns of your paper
If a mass meeting of the citizens
of every section of the town had nom
mated their ticket / would be pleased
to stand for the mayoralty; OF if some
reputable organization had nomi-
mated for this Office | would at least
have given the matter consideration
but | have no desire to ask the voters
of Morgantown to support me for
mayor, running on number of bias
tard tickets.
1t Is a matter of congratulation
that this will be the last year when it
will be possible for ticket of this
kind to intrude itself into our munic-
ipal elections. The vote at the com
ing election will make the applica-
tion of the Australian ballot law to
these elections compulsory. The
voters can then concentrate their eff
forts to elect good men, regularly
nominated, instead Of scattering their
strength among these bastard tickets
composed of all kinds of material.
In the meantime let US pick out
from the job lot Of candidates the
best men and vote for them on Thurs
day. The names of many good BUSH
ness men appear on these tickets and
a first class city government can be
had If the energy of the voters is con-
centrated. It should be borne in
mind that men who do not attend TO
their own private business cannot be
trusted to attend to the business of
growing municipality: therefore, vote
for men whose private business indi-
Gates ability and integrity in its man
agement.
! The long delay in acting upon inn
portant franchise ordinances, the
street paving scandal, the filthy con-
dition of the sewers, streets and al
leys, and many other matters which
| might be mentioned illustrate the
need of reform all along the line.
The bastard ticket system of selecting
men TO compose the city government
holds out little hope for improvement
but half loaf. or even a bite, is
better than nothing.
Yours very truly,
EDGAR r. STEWART.

FOR CHILDREN.
School Of Music Will Lock after Piano
instruction Of Little Ones.


Beginning with this term the School
of Music will offer an opportunity to
children Of about eight to twelve years
Of age to study Piano at four dollars
($4) term
II is very important that good in
struetion should be given children so
that they will not have the discour-
agement of correcting bad habits later
on 10 their study. Sometimes talent
ed pupils, capable Of becoming good
pianists have been spoiled by careless
instruction in the beginning.
1t Is also OF great advantage TO be-
gin the study OF music early in life,
this Is the time TO form the musical
taste and the habitof systematic work.
1t is not expected that young person
will practice very much by himself, an
hour day is the most child can do
we'll, so the lessons will be given three
times week. They will be given In
a class OF not more than four and each
lesson twenty minutes long.
Mrs. Snee, who has had success
with children and whose work is char
acterized by carefulness will have
charge OF this class but as her time
will probably be filled quite soon 1t
would be best to register not later
than Friday, April 4th.

Gigantic Deals Affecting Interests
of the Whole State.
PTT1sBURG, April In the midst
Of the present interest over a new sea-
board outlet from Pittsburg, full
statement of the plans and purposes
OF one of the most Interesting as well
as the most mysterious of these pro-
jects, can now be made. This is in
connection with the Chesapeake &
Western Railway. The statement
comes from Joseph w. Reinhart, for
merly president of the Atchison,
Topeka s. Santa Fe, and who is now
at the head of the syndicate which is
furthering this project, Mr.. Reinhart
says:
"It is not generally known, but it
is fact that before the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company secured control
through the purchase of the Baltimore
& Ohio, Norfolk & Western and Ches-
apeake 81 Ohio, number of men qui-
city took up the project for the con-
structiOn of line of railway from the
Ohio river through the northern West
Virginia coal fields and Virginia to
the Atlantic coast. This enterprise
has been carried forward, and has
now foundation upon which the
whole structure will shortly be erect
ed.
"This project is known as the Ches-
apeake & Western Railway. 1t begins
at Gloucester Point, or York Harbor,
Va, where large acreage of land for
tidewater terminal has been bought.
The line runs enthusiastically and
westwardly, taking in the Chesapeake
& Western Railway built and 10 oper-
alton in the Shenandoah Valley, Vir-
ginia which is through 100 miles of
the coal fields of West Virginia to a
point near Parkersburg.
CONSTRUCTION work on over 100
miles of the line westwardly through
the Shenandoah and Allegheny noun
tains into West Virginia is now I'M
der way with fourteen miles of track
laid and over half of the entire line
has been surveyed and located, esti-
mates of construction have been made
+ thereupon and preparations are now
being completed for general construc-
tion.
"The line is in no sense parallel
road, with any existing railway, but
opens up now and prolific territory
throughout its entire length.
1.-THE Greatest care was exercised
by the owners to secure an ocean tide
water terminal that would be in every
respect suitable for handling the large
traffic of trunk line railway, and
Gloucester Point was selected"
1t is of much significance that the
western terminus Of this project is al
Parkersburg, w. Va, to which city &
line is now being built by the Gould'
from a connection with the Wheeling
& Lake Erie at GAINESVILLE 1t is alsC
significant that George j. Cloud the
head of the Gould interests, spent a
week at Gloucester Point last summer
and is thoroughly in touch with the
whole situation.
