MANY KILLED IN MINE.
From Thirty to Sixty Lives Lost By An
Explosion.

Trinidad, Col, (SpeciaD From &C
to 90 men lost their lives in a terrific
explosion which occurred at Min,
No. OF the Rocky Mountain Fue
and Iron Company at Terico, 10 miles
west of Trinidad The exact number
OF dead may never be known, as the
mine is burning, and in all likelihood
the bodies will be consumed.
A large number OF mine officials
lett here as soon as word of the
accident was received. Company doc
tors were picked up all along tho line
as well as all other available physi-
clans. f. J. Foreman, a Government
stock inspector, was at Terico when
the explosion occurred. He returned
here and gave the following account OF
the accident:
i was standing not more than 800
yards from the mouth of the tunnel
when the explosion occurred. The ex-
plosion was preceded by a low rum
bling sound, resembling and earth
quake, which made the earth tremblc
and startled the whole camp.
Il looked toward the mine and out
OF the mouth OF the tunnel and two
airshafts came a great volume OF
smoke and dust, which continued for
nearly a minute. Out of the two air
shafts, each Of which is seven feet in
diameter, timbers two to three feet
thick were shot into the air and broke
into splinters. Rocks were thrown
over the camp for distance Of quar-
ter OF mile. In fact, it rained rocks,
broken timbers aud all kinds of debris
tor fully a minute, and many people
were injured by being struck with
these missels.
The explosion, which resembled
volcanic eruption, caused the widest
excitement. Men, women, and children
rushed to the mouth of the tunnel, and
women whose husbands were in the
mine had to be brought away by min
ers to. prevent their being killed by
the flying timbers and stones"
DNauiy luIlISS NdllIC OUT Oh tne mouth
OF the tunnel
The mine in which the accident oc-
Cured employs SO men and it is be-
lieved that at least 90 were in the mine
at the time. News of the explosion
brought assistance from the adjacent
camps. Deadly fumes overcame the
rescuers frequently. but their places
were Immediately aiken by others
ready to risk their lives. 1t was
not thought possible that any one in
the mine could escape death.
Nearly all the miners employed are
Slavs. The mine was opened only a
year ago and extended 1000 feet into
the hill. The explosion is supposed
to have been caused by dust. Only
one body has been recovered, that OF
I. Duran, a driver, who was just en-
tering the tunel when the explosion
occurred. He was torn and burned
beyOnd recognition.

AT a meeting of the Executive
Committee of the Progressive
cague, held on Tuesday evening,
after six O'Clock, June 2Sth, it
was decided TO send representa-
tives 90 Baton Rouge, to appear
before the Senate Committee on
Agriculture. Commerce and
Levees, to urge the passage of
the Bill, introduced in the Senate
by Hon. Jos. \ Provost, the pur-
pose Of which bill was to establish
a waterleVeI in Lake Tasse, this
parish. Against the expressed
wishes Of the Secretary the Ex-
eGutive Committee insisted upon
his being a member of that dele
cation. A sense Of duty to the
League prompted him finally to
set aside the questions of person
al Inconvenience and undertake
the mission. MIR. Jos. Z. Russell
was the other appointee on that
mission.
The two ENJOYS of the League
left here on Wednesday, June
Goth, via New Orleans. There
was no altern&tiye-a lay over
had TO be made in the Crescent
City till 6 a. IN. on Thursday. AT
IL a. N. Thursday they arrived at
Baton Ronge.
The object of their mission
was at once taken up and a hear
ing was requested at the earliest
possible convenience of the Sen
ate Committee. The committee
had arranged to meet for O'Clock
that evening. This arrangement
was threatened by the fact that a
reception had been announced for
s o'clock. the same evening, at
the Governors mansion.
With the assurance from Hon.
Jno. Dymond, tile acting chair
man of the Senate Committee
that the Leagues delegates
would be accorded a hearing at

Members Of the Committee then
announced that they held tele-
grams from Messrs. Liable and
Martin, Of st. MaltinsyiIle, pro
testing against the passage of the
bill and asking that the matter be
held over ill the next day, when
they would be represented before
the committee.
The next day Friday, July 1st,
forenoon, representative J. NJ.
Olivier, Of St Martins, appeared
before jhe Senate Committee ur.
&ing the opposition of the people
.of ST Martinsville. After con
siderable more argument on the
merits Of the bill Senator Martin
GIynn, Of Point Coupce, made the
motion that the Senate Committee
report the bill favorabIy.
Senator T. g. Barrett, of
Shreveport, then called attention
to the fact that the Senate had
adjourned TIL Monday noon, July
tth; That as that day was a holi-
day but liJtle business would be
transacted, therefore it would be
Tuesday, July 9TH, before the
Senate could receive the Commit
tees report and act on the bill.
This would leave but two days
for the bIlPs course III The lower
house, as the Legislature would
finally adjourn on Thursday, July
18th. AS the State Constitution
required that bill should be
read three separate days in the
house before final passage, and as
there was every probability that
the bill would be delayed i'll the
House Committee there was no
possibility of the bills passage at
the term CT the Legislature.
Under these circumstances,

planned by Senator Jno. A. Nc
ilhenny to MessrS. Russell and

fc;Cnce Of the advocates of the
bill, Senator Glynn Withdrew his
motion and the Senate Comm ttee
agreed to report the bill without
action. 1t was so reported by the
committee on Monday, July 4tb,
and later Senator Provost with
drew the bill.
The bill failed to pass. 1t was
not introduced early enough to
allow any delay in its course by
the opposition.
