Nearly Two Hundred
Dead in HardWiCk Mine.
Terrible Explosion Dcals Death
to the Miners. Rescue Work
Very Slow.

Pittsburg, Jan. 25.-By an sx-
plosion in the Hardwick mine of
the Allegheny Coal company at
Cheswlck, 16 miles from Pitts
burg, western Pennsylvania prom-
ises to add one of the greatest
tragedies OF years to the already
long list of mine fatalities. Even
the officials of the Allee heny Coal
company, the owners of the mine,
don't know at this time the nuns
ber of men eutombed In the cham
bers Of the mine, 22O feet below
the surface, but a conservative
estimate places the mum ber at 1S4.
Even General Manager George
Scheetzo of the coal company,
who is in charge of the mino,
gives little hope that many of the
men will he brought to the sur-
face. The first ray of hope that
any of the men had escaped the
tremendous ooncussion of the ex-
plosion, came at 6 O'Clock tonight
when Adolph Gunia was brought
to the surface still living.
The explosion occurred at s. 90
o'clock this morning at the bot
tom of one of the shafts and was
presumably caused by fire damp.
1t WAS 4 O'Clock this afternoon
before it was possible to make the
first attempt ut rescue.
The little village of Hardwlck
that surrounds the mining works
two miles hack from the Wes
Pennsylvania railroad, has beer

the entrance to the pit, beseech
ing for news Of loved ones below
but only to meet with tie sam,

MRS. LUP0 GIVEN
EIGHTEEN YEARS.
Lillian Mock, Her Daughter, Was
Sent From Court Room.

Lillian Mock, Her Daughter. Was
Sent From Court Room.
Word was received in Savannah yes
terday of the sentence OF Mrs. Lupo in
New York. who several days ago enter
ed a plea of guilty of murder in the
second degree. She was given eighteen
years in the woman's prison at Auburn.
BY good behavior, she may reduce her
sentence to eleven years.
Mrs. Lupo was on trial for killing
her husband. After the case had pro-
crossed for several days she entered a
plea of guilty in the second degree. The
feature of the trial was the testimony
given by Lillian Mock, a Savannah girl,
the daughter of the accused. She won
a great deal of sympathy for her moth
er by the way she testified. Her at
tractive personal appearance made her
an unusual figure in the court room,
and the New York papers devoted much
space to Miss Mock's connection with
the case.
The daughter remained the center of
interest even when the sentence was
passed, for she was ordered to- leave the
court room by. Judge Kennefick presd-
ing. Mrs. Lupo came near llapsing
when sentenced. She had expected a
much shorter term os years.
Before passing sentence Judge Ken
nefick delivered a most scathing ar
raignment of the woman. The court
room was crowded to hear the sentence.

Mr.. John r. Rebarer gave a most
enjoyable piano recital in the Lawton
Memorial last night. He was assisted
by the orchestra of the Savannah Mu-
sic Club, for the benefit of which the
recital was given.
The recital was thoroughly enjoyed
by a fair-sized audience, which ex-

number, and insisted on a recall piece
from Mr.. Rebarer after the last num-
Der of the programme had been given.
The programme contained selections
from many schools and Mr. Rebarer's

especially the ITO a Wild Rose" Both
pianist and orchestra are to be con-
graduated, too, on the playing of the
Rubinstein Concerto, a work that is

of Signor Joseph Coccia. The conduc-
