ELEVEN MET AWFUL DEATH.
Coal Mine Disaster at Black Diamond
Wash.-Severa1 Injured.


Black Diamond, Wash, Oct. g.
Eleven men were killed and three in
jured in a mine explosion on the fourth
level at the Lawson mine, mile from
this place, about nine O'Clock al
night. The men employed in the work
ings or shutes were instantly killed.
Two gangwaymen and a driver, work
ing farther in the level, or gang way,
evidently escaped the effect of the ex-
plosion and instinctively started toward
the slope for safety. The deadly after
damp swept down on them and they
succumed after not more than few
minutes struggle against the fate their
experience as miners told them lay in
store for them.
Only the bodies of the men in the
workings are burned, showing that the
sheet of flame which followed the ex-
plosion did not extend to the slope,
though it is declared by some watchers
TO have been seen from the air shafts.
Those miners whose bodies were burned
were discovered lying in cramped
positions, their legs closely drawn~up
toward their bodies and their hands
cllnched. Dust covered their faces so
they were unrecognizable when first
taken from the mine. Their clothes
were torn and thickly coated by coal
dust. The other bodies were not dis
figured. No -Four level in the Lawson
mine has not been opened long. An

Interest in the mining world is being
conferred in the experiments now going
forward with the Garretson furnace at
the Crofton smelter on Vancouver is
land 1t is expected to revolutionize
the smelling industry of America.
The inventors are G. S. and F.C.
Garretson, father and son. The
Garretson smelter, if as successful as
the first day indicated, will, it is said,
cut down the cost of smelling TO one
quarter of what it is to day. 1t will
do away with the necessity of using
coke and will abolish the seperate con-
verting plant. BY it the three pro-
cesses of the smelling are combined
and the whole operation takes place
in one apparatus.

THEY ARE IN FEAR Of A RIOT
PEOPLE OF GLENS FALLS,
NEW YORK.
The National Guard is Again Called

Trouble.

Glens Falls, N. Y, Oct. 7--As re-
suit of renewed activity by the striking
motormen of the Hudson Valley Elec-
trio Railway company, soldiers of the
national guard are again guarding the
peace of this town, and though there
has been no rioting, an uneasy feeling
prevails. The militia company of this
place which had been dismissed to it's
armory Thursday last, was called out
again and is now protecting the power
house and other property of the railway
company in Glens Falls. A squad is
also guarding bridge at Sandy Hill,
having been sent there following q re-
port that one of the canal bridges was
to be blown up.
The riotous mob which held possess
ion of Glens Falls for four hours last
night was composed of sympathizers
with the strikers and the police were
powerless against it.
A mass meeting called by the labor
organizations to express sympathy for
the strikers was the origin of the dis
turbance. 1t was planned to have the
mass meeting in Bank square and when
permission was refused i'll feeling re-
suited.
Headed by band the, strikers and
labor leaders formed in parade through
the principal streets, the ranks of the
paraders being augmented by sympa-
thizers and boys who at first opportun-
ity created disturbances.
The riot was preicpitated by the ar
rest of man who made insulting re-
marks to one of the non-union employees
and each car passing through was the
object of demonstration.
At Cool's switch, four cars were,
stalled at one time. They were soon
abandoned, the non-union motormen
and conductors placing themselves in
the hands of the police for protection,
or deserving to the strikers. The car
windows were smashed and fusildes
OF bricks and stones hurled at the cars.
Conductor Currier of Brooklyn was
so badly injured by rough handling
that he is in the hospital in a serious
condition.
Under guard of the soldiers the sew
eral stalled cars were run down toward
the power house, followed by mob.

Mrs. Fayed in Court on the
Charge Of Contempt.

Della Fayed. who neglected to attend
the session of the sixth district court
yesterday morning. and for whom a writ
OF attachment was ordered 10 issue, was
there all right today.
She was wanted as a witness in the
complaint against her husband, Amin
Fayed, who was accused OF assaulting
her with a pistol.
Della was brought In from Pawtucket
yesterday afternoon by Warrant Officer
Andrew p. Martin. and when asked by
Judge Sweetland why she failed to re-
spond to the original summons declared
she came TO this city and had failed TO
find the court house.
Mr.. Martin informed the court that he
had ascertained from Delia's uncle that
the husband was at Pawtucket at
o'clock yesterday morning and that
Fayeds counsel so the uncle declared,
had told the woman not to go near the
court room.
Mrs Fayed said that it was true that
her husband visited Pawtucket at the
hour mentioned. but that he did not see
her, merely coming to the house to leave
a bundle of clothing for her.
AS there was some doubt in the courts
mind as TO whether the Syrians had been
perfectly understood he would, in Judg
ing the witness to have been in contempt.
require her TO remain in custody until
next Tuesday unless she could furnish
$500 surety.
