OF FiREDAMP.

Coal Creek, Tenn, May 20.-As the
result of an explosion in the Frater-
vile coal mines, two miles west of
town, at 1880 a. m. probably between
200 and 800 persons have been killed.
Superintendent George Camp states
that he is positive that 100 men were
in the mine, and there may have been
from $50 to 500. This he cannot deter
mine until further investigation is
made. Out of the vast number only
five bodies have been recovered. One
of these is still alive, but he will die.
Soon after the explosion party was
organized and started in in the hope
of saving the lives Of at least part of
the men. The party was, however, I'M

Is Feared They Are Already Dead.
Fully 1000 women and children are as
sembled there, many of them undoubt-
eddy having been left husbandless and
fatherless by the horrible catastrophe
of a few hours ago.
They are mad in their grief and ap-
pealingly beg friends to go into the
burning furnace and rescue their loved
ones, if possible. Many of these wo-
men and children are in want and a
mass meeting has been called to be
held here at which leading citizens will
take steps to relieve the needy. 1t
may be that the outside world will be
asked to help.
1t was at first reported that an ex-
plosion also occurred in Thistle mine,
which adjoins Fraterville mine almost
on the opposite side of the mountain.
Thistle mine has, it is stated, prac-
tically been abandoned, and it is IN
derstood to have been the intention of
the Coal Creek company, which owns
the properties, to abandon Fraterville
at an early date, on account of it hav-
ing been worked continuously for over
80 years.
1t is believed that gas still is emit
ting from Fraterville and that this is
gathering in Thistle mine, in which
evidences of heat are also coming.
However, it is not believed that This
tie mine is on fire. No men were at
work in Thistle mine, thus combining
the disaster to Fraterville as far as
casualties are concerned. Superintend-
ent George Camp was asked for an
official statement for publication. Be-
yond the figures given above and the
opinion that the explosion was prob
ably caused from gas igniting, he had
nothing to say.

SITUATION VERY PEACEFUL
Second Week of the Big Anthracite
Strike Beqins.

second week OF inc Big AntnTdclte
Strike Begins.
Hazleton, Pa, May 20.-The second
week of the total suspension of hard
coal mining as result of the deadlock
between miner and mine owner began
during the day without the faintest
ripple to disturb the calmness of the
situation. A Sabbath stiffness pre-
walls everywhere. Not one of the coal
companies in this territory made an
attempt to start up colliery and not
a miner wandered near the big black
breakers. The collieries and their sur
roundings had desolate appearance.
No one was about except the engi-
neers, firemen and pump runners,
whose duty it is to keep the mines free
from water and gas, the stablemen,
who are looking after the mules that
have been brought to the surface, after
having been in total darkness for two
years, and the repairmen, who are do
ing odd jobs of patchwork in and about
the main buildings.
For want of something better to do
the local miners in all the mining vii
lagos and coal patches held meetings
during the day. At these gatherings
speeches were made by the local lead
ers for the purpose of keeping up the
courage of the men.

To say that a dog can whip his

Not that wildcat is Of specially ag-

he would sooner mind his own business
any time than fight. So anxious is he
as rule to keep out Of trouble that he
has often been accused Of cowardice,
