TWO HUNDRED

RESULT OF A TERRIFIC ExPLO-

PiTTSRURG.

BE w 1870 AND 100 MEN PROB
ABLY LYING DEAD IN THE
WORKINGS.
FOUL AIR PRivtNTS RESCUE
ONLY ONE OF THE MEN HAS
BEEN BROUGHT TO THE
SURFACE.

P%ittsburg, Pa, Jan. 81. - From all
that can be gathered at this hour be.
tween $50 and 100 men are lying dead
in the headings and passage ways OF
the Harwick mine Of the Allegheny
Coal company at Cheswick, the result
OF a terrific explosion yesterday.
Cage after cage has Como down into
the mine and come up again, but only
one miner Of all those that went down
to work yesterday morning has been
brought to the surface. The rescued
man is Adolph Gunia. and he is still In
a semi-conscious condition.
In addition to the miners who were
at work when the explosion occurred
1t is now believed by practically all
or the men OF the rescue party who
have come up to the 220-foot vertical
shaft for a warming and a breathing
spell, that Selwyn NJ. Taylor. the Pitts
burg mining engineer who plotted the
mine and who was the first to reach
the bottom after the explosion hap
pened, is % among the list of dead.
OF those in the mine
All Are Probably Dead.
The explosion occurred at $50
o'clock yesterday morning, and The
first warning was a rumbling under
ground and Their a sheet of fame shot
up the shaft. Both mine cages were
l,,rTaJ tl~o,-l H. +g,~To .~-D-+, r0.t
above the landing stage and three men
on the tipple were hurled to the
ground. A mule was hurled high above
the shaft and fell dead on the ground.
The injured men were brought at once
to this city, where two of them have
died since.
AS soon as the rumble Of the explO-
sion and the crash at the pit mouth
startled the little village the wives and
children Of the men below rushed to
the scene of the disaster. but to
Gain No encouragement.
There was no way to get into the
deep workings. The cages that let the
men into the mines and brought them
out again when the days work was
done were both demolished.
All day long there was n jam OF
waiting women and children about the
mouth Of the pit. There were calls for
assistance and for surgical aid from
the men in charge of the mine, but it
was not until 4 O'Clock yesterday after
noon that the first attempt at rescue
was made. This was a failure, as the
two men who volunteered were driven
back by the foul air.
Shortly after 5 o'clock Selwyn Tay-
Tor and one of his assistants signalled
for the engineer to lower them into
the shaft. Taylor is still down there.
Three times efforts have been made
to reach him, but so far without avail.
3:15 a. m.-Dr. w. B. Mccullough Of
Cheswick. who has been in the mine
for two hours, has just come to the
surface and told the associated Press
representative that in his opinion not
one Of the miners who were in the
shaft at the time Of the explosion is
alive.
The body OF Selwyn Taylor was
brought to the surface at 2:25 a. N.
He evidently had been dead several
hours.

Tennessee Central May be Sold
Under the Hammer.
Said to Be Debt of About ~, 900,
900 Hanging Over
IL.
RECEIVER RUNNING 1T NOW

Nashville, Tenn, March 2a-The
affairs Of the Tennessee Central rail.
road are in very complicated state,
so much so, indeed, the property Ii
likely to be sold at an early day. II
is understood there Is a floating debt
of something like $4,000, 900, and
much Of this is pressing, The credit
ors have been after the company for
months and the st. Louis capitalists
who have been behind the enterprise
are reported to have grown tired OF
putting up.
The road, il is claimed, has not paid
operating expenses, and besides the
money borrowed to make needed ex-
tensions in the mineral regions in the
Cumberland mountains other money
has had to be raised to make mp the
deficit from operation. Yesterday Re
ceiver oliver who Is full in charge Of
the road, was authorized to issue s75.-
900 in receivers certificates. the pro.
ceeds to be used in paying employee
and other claims which cannot be
avoided.
When the company failed to get the
million dollar subsidy voted the road
by the city of Nashville it's troubles
began. This money, il is said, would
have tided the road over until its
hackers could have found . profitable
sale for it. The legality Of the subsidy
was attacked, however, and there lie
no telling when the courts will pass
finally on the question. In the mean.
time the road is likely to be sold, but
IL the Louisville and Nashville or the
Nashville, Chattanooga and st. Louis
lines should by it the subsidy would
be null and void.
Well informed railroad men say the
road is certain to go urder the ham
mer. and when il does the Illinois
Central will buy the division extend
ing from Hopkinsville to Nashville
and the Southern and the eastern di-
vision. from Nashville to Hartman.
The complications into which the
company has fallen is believed to stop
any further extension OF terminal ia
cilities in Nashville and which were
estimated TO cost half a million dol
lars.
