EXPLOSION N A MINE.
awful Disaster at Coal Creek, Tenn.
-15O Men Believed to Have
Been Killed.
cNE MAN is BLOWN FROM THE PIT.
Only One Reported to Have Escaped
Aliye-Txvo Rescuing Parties Make
unsuccessful Efforts to Save the
aIen-Mine the Oldest in the Dis
trict.

Knoxville, Tenn, May 2O.-A special
TO the Sentinel says the Fratervllle
md Thistle coal mines at Coal Creek,
Tenn, exploded Monday morning
Only one man escaped, he being
blown out of the mine. About 800
men were at work in the mines.
Killed Estimated at $50.
George N. Camp, superintendent OF
the Thistle mine gave out an official
statement estimating the number
killed in both mines at $50. None
have been rescued.
Vain Attempts at Rescue.
A special to the Sentinel says:
Two rescuing parties were started
into the Thistle and Fratervllle mine
entrances as soon as possible after
the explosion. The Thistle party
was unable to make any Roadway
whatsoever, as the gas stifed 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 a heavy fall OF
slate was encountered. This cut off
any further progress into the mine
until the slate obstacle could be re-
moved. The intense heat indicates
that the mine is on fire.
At II o'clock there was no longer any
question but that the Thistle miners
also suffered in the disaster.
At 1880 o'clock one man was taken
4 from the mouth of the Fraterville
mine He was an unacceptable mass
of flesh.
Oldest Mine in Region.
The Fraterville coal mine is located
in Anderson county, Tenn. 1t is
owned by the Coal Creek Coal COM
pany, of which Maj. E. c. Camp, of this
city, is president and general manager.
This is the oldest mine in the Coal
Creek district, having. been opened in
1870. A large area has been developed
and worked in it. The Coal Greek
coal seam is struck by this mine, the
hard and tenacious top averaging AZ
feet in thickness. Fraterville mine
has always been considered one of the
safest mines in the Coal Creek belt.

ENTERTAINED.

On Thursday afternoon at 3 O..
clock, Sept. llth, at the residence
of Hrs. Charles Evans, Mesdames
J. j. Clark and Charles Evans gave
a Coffee Party in honor of Miss
Monte Blue, of st. Louis, Mo, to
the few remaining" of the old
Orio club of 'S5.
Miss Blue was the President Of
this Club in its balmy days; and
this reunion was, indeed, a most
enjoyable affair. The Sweet days
gone weekly meetings, hal
low cen parties, camping party of
81 at Crittenden, were recalled
with much pleasure. A paper,
written by the different members
of the club fifteen years ago, was
read, much to the pleasure and
amusement of all.
At 5 O'Clock an elegant lunch
was served. 1t being the birthday
of Miss Blue the usual birthday
cake was "dived into" to tell what
of the night" for those present.
No party of sweet sixteens" ever
sought more earnestly and anx-
iously to know if the fates were
propitious-whether or not the
dime or darning needle would be
theirs. The candles were then
blown by each guest, with wishes
for all that's brightest and best"
for Miss Monte.
The members of the old club
present were Mesdsmes j. w.
Blue, G. M. Order, Charles Ev-
ans. Misses Mona Blue, Lena
Woods, Ina Woods, Lizzie James,
and Nellie Walker. Mesdames G.
G. Gray and E. j. Hayward were
also present.

MINING ACCIDENT.
lummie Fritts Meets with Seri.
Gus Mishap.

On Tuesday evening last quite
a serious accident happened at
the Lucille mine, just south of the
city. The particulars are about as
follows: Lumm Fritts, a son Of
Mr.. r. G. Fritts, living two miles
north of Marion, went down with
the $50 night shift, and at Z 80,
while at work in a drift, a huge
boulder of spar, weighing some
400 pounds, fell and young Fritts
was caught under it. The bones
of his right leg were broken near
the ankle joint and the foot badly
crushed. The unfortunate young
man was taken home to his faith
er's aud prompt medical attend
ance summoned. While such &C.
cidents are to be deplored they are
an inevitable adjunct to the bust
ness of mining, and one which
appears almost impossible to en-
tirely guard against.

DR.. ]. R. CLARK DEAD.
A Long, Well Spent and Useful
Life Ends Peacefully.

DR. j. X. Clark, one of the oldes
and best known citizens OF Crit.
tenden county, died at his home
in this city Monday morning, af-
ter an illness extending over weeks
Several months ago he sustained
a stroke of paralysis, and only par
TALLY recovered, but his rallying
from this gave his friends hope
that he would be with them for
many years yet Several weeks
ago another stroke came, and tho
vital forces gradually gave away
until Monday. surrounded by fam
lily and friends he passed away.
The funeral took place from his
late residence Tuesday at noon,
and with Masonic honors, all that
was mortal of the respected, USE
full and loved citizen was laid to
rest in the beautiful cemetery near
town.
John Riley Clark was born in
Crittenden county, KY, seventy
years ago; he grew up alta time
when schools were scar ce in this
section. and his parents were una
BILE to give him the educational
advantages he crsved, but being
staunch of mind and body. the
hardships of those pioneer days
brought out and developed the ts-
nacious qualities of the mind that
made him successful in whatever
he attempted.
When he began life for himself
his only patrimony was an ambi-
ton to surmount the difficulties
in the way of professional ca.
reer, and blessed with a vigorous
body and a strong mind, be rose
above the barriers and for years
stood in the forefront as a physi-
clan in his native county. AS a
citizen he was progressive aud lib
eral, ever ready to lend his assist
ance to such things as he thought
would benefit his fellows, and the
cause of truth, as revealed 10 him
never had a more ardent nor a
more enduring champion. For
years he has been prominent in
the affairs OF this section, and
with thu dignity that becomes a
strong man, he bore the duties Of
citizenship we'll. He represented
Crittenden and Livingston ooun.
ties in the legislature Of 1880,
and served his district with dis
tinction.
