ing. and scarcely a yestige Of man
could be seen. Very little damage
was done except within these bound
aries for a width Of $50 yards.
The cyclone was preceded q few
moments by a heavy hailstorm and a
deep rumbling sound, but no one had
any premonition OF the disaster, and
there was no opportunity tor escape.
The tornado, dealing death and dis
aster, vas all over in a few moments.
The section which suffered most was
the residence portion, the lower part
being the negro settlement, while the
upper part contained many residences.
The Methodist and Baptist churches
and the Baptist parsonage, both just
completed, and the Negro Methodist
church were destroyed. The Episco-
pal church was badly damaged, and
fully 100 houses were totally destroy
ed. The stone residence Of d. T. Davis
Of the Goliad guard was the only
building in the pathway of the storm
not demolished, and it is a wreck.
The people of Goliad, realizing at
once the stupendous nature of the
calamity and the terrible loss of life
and injury, telephoned to their sister
cities of Cuero and Victor for assist
ance, which was responded to imme-
diately. General Superintendent
Forbes stopped the regular Beeville
train at Goliad and turned it back to
Victor, bringing on the return trip six
doctors from there and an abundance
of medicines and surgical appliances.
Another train came later from Cuero
with a number of physicians and doz-
ems of nurses and many citizens.

Dallas, Texas, May 19.-The Asso.

minutes shortly after DON
The operator there reported many
dead and 100 wounded. The storm

end of the town. The business sec

now under military rule.
The newspaper men on the ground
are assisting in the burial of the dead
and relieving the injured. None could
be induced to take the time to talk
OF the disaster. The court house and
residences are being used to lay out
the dead and as temporary hospitals
for the wounded. The hurricane that
struck the town came from the south
east at $3.50 p. m. The wires are de-
moralized and the details necessarily
slow.

Knoxville, Tenn, May 19.-The
staff correspondent of the Knoxville
Sentinel, who is at Coal Creek, Tenn,
wires the following.
AS the result Of an explosion in the
Fraterville coal mines, two miles
west of town, at 1880 o'clock this
morning, probably between 200 and
300 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 300 to $50. This he cannot now
determine. Out Of the vast number
only five has been reached. One Of
these is still alive, but he will die.
William Morgan, an aged English
man, who was a road man in the
mines, was blown out Of the entrance,
and will die. He has been unable to
speak.
Soon after the explosion a party was
organized and started in the mine in
the hope Of saving the lives of at
least part of the men. The party was,
however, unable to go more than 500
yards, on account of the slate having
fallen in the main path and also on
account of the sitting smoke and gas
and excessive heat. The latter indi-

Probably upheavals of earth, coal and
slate will have to be excayated in or

Experienced miners say that even
if the entombed men are alive, they
will more than likely die from the
effect of fire damp before they can be
reached. However, the disaster is SO
APPALLING that it is feared they already
are dead. Fully 1000 women and chill
dren are assembled at the mines.
They are mac in their grief and are
appealing to friends to go into the
burning mine and rescue their loved
ones. 1t was first reported that an
explosion also occurred in the Thistle
mine, which joins the Fraterville
mine almost on the opposite side Of
the mountain. The Thistle mine has,
it is stated, practically been abandon

Two Other Drawn Bouts and Fine
Fancy Bicycle Work.

The crowd that gathered in the Coli

astic one. and showed it's appreciation
OF the excellent program by hearty APP
plause. An exhibition of slack wire
walking by young man was the first
number on the bill and his numerous
dlf1cult feats were well applauded.
John f. Sheehan, editor of Sporting
Times. was then introduced as the ref
cree of the several bouts to follow.
Tom Mcclure of Boston, officiated as
timer.
The first bout was for six rounds be-
tween Allie Alberts and Young Kelley
of Boston. and was good exhibition
of scientific boxing. The men were
very evenly matched. although Kelley
forced his man beginning with the third
round and until the fifth, when Alberts
had rather the best of the fifth. The
sixth was evidently Kelley's Referee
Sheehan decided the bout a draw.
The next attraction was the Browns

for only few minutes.
Tom Kane of South Gardiner. and
George Roderick of Bath, were booked
for a four-rOund bout and during the
first two the men mixed up in good
shape and exchanged several good
blows. The third round was a repeti-
ton of the second. The fourth and last
was full of excitement and no sdvan-

decision was given by the referee Kane

but Roderick had a more powerful

the bouts. The first was a very pretty

the latter would have been out in a

This was clean exhibition of heavy

During the entire exhibition every
