 Men and Boys.

Pratt City, May -(speciaL)-shortly after T o'clock this morning fire proke out in the engine room 200 feet unoer ground at N. mines of the Tennessee company. The flames spread rapidly ana for while 1t looked as if the lives or thirteen men and boys were endangered The miners escaped, however and the flames were soon gotten under control' The fire created considerable excitement and a large number of people went from Wylam and Pratt City to the scene. It was only because of the early hour that the pits of the mines were not nlleo with miners, very few of the men having gone to work. On account of large quantity of oil in the room the blaze spread with great rapidity. The men going into the mines were warned of the fire and turned back.
 The telephone connection was working alright and the imprisoned men telephon- ed the men on the outside to pull them out the air shaft. Ropes were at once procured and the work of drawing the men to the surface was begun. The work of rescue was necessarily slow and as the miners were pulled out one at time the excitement at the surface was | intense.
 The white men and boys that were  Tom Glaze, Ellis Farrer Alexander Mo Donald, Will Bottomy. The negro men were Pete Cain, John Cain, Juney Hugh | ley, George Pyre, J. Fillmore
 Try to Save Mules.
 There were twelve mules in the mines and Will Lee and Ell Dade, colored re- mained in the mines with the hopes of saving them. Late this afternoon after the flames had been gotten under con- trol and the smoke had cleared away the two boys were brought up safely.
 The fire was discovered 6y Engineer Hancock who at once spread the alarm. Bremen were dispatched into the mine to fight the flames and cut off the air. This being the only hopes of smothering out the fire.
 As soon as the news spread to the sur rounding towns a large number of people, some relatives of the men in the mine hoeked to the scene of the fire. All the above mentioned were drawn out without accident with the exception of Will Bot tomly. When he was in fifty feet of the top he slipped, his legs catching the rope | and making 1t necessary for him to be pulled out by the feet.
 With the exception of the engine very little damage was done to the mines The engine will have to be replaced by g new one and work will have to be sus- pended at No. until the repairing if done. Much credit should be given to tht officials of the company for the manner | in which the fire was handled
