COAL MINE ON FIRE.
One Hundred Miners Who Were Below
Made Their Escape.

Made Their Escape.
Peoria, ILL.,, Dec 9.-The Scholl mine
at South Bartonville, one mile south of
this city, was discovered to be on fire
in the main entry at the foot of the
shaft this morning. There were 100
men at work in the mine at the time
and for a while great excitement ex-
listed. The men, however, were taken
to a second shaft a half mile distant
and all made their escape, some of them
being overcome by smoke and gas.
The origin of the fire is a mystery,
but it is supposed to have started by
the lamp Of the trapper boy. Eight
mules were overcome by the smoke and
the coal is now on fire.
The fire communicated itself to the
woodwork, of the shaft and worked
both ways from its starting place, up
wards through the shaft and toward
the interior of the mine. The property
loss will be heavy.
