sick with Scarlet Fever no alarm

Tuesday evening, when diptheria
set in and all that medical skill
and care Of devoted parents could
do was done, but the dread
disease could not be stayed and
at four o'clock Thursday after
noon death relieved the little suf-
ferer.

school, and one Of the brightest

BURIED alive BY
Mine EXPLOSION
Over One Hundred Men Entombed
Near Cheswick, Pa, and Ter

Big FORCE IMMEDIATELY SETS
TO WORK TO RESCUE PRISONERS
Men Will All Perish Unless They Can
Soon Get Fresh Afraid Sent For
-Pitiful Scenes at Mouth of Shaft
Cause of Disaster Not known,
But Gas Explosion Suspected.

Pittsburg, Pa, Jan. 26.-Between 125
and $50 men were entombed Monday by
an explosion in the shaft of the Harwick
Coal company near Cheswick. None of
them had been rescued up to two p. M,
and it is believed that many of them
were either killed outright by the ex-
plosion or have been suffocated by the
gas. One rumor said that the dead were
estimated between 40 and so. Several
hundred men Immediately went to work
trying to liberate the men imprisoned
inside. About 200 men were employed
at the mine, 150 working inside and the
remainder on the tipple. The men on
the tipple were badly burned by the ex-
plosion. With loud report and an up
heaval like an earthquake, the wood
work of the tipple was destroyed. The
walls of the shaft were filled with
debris, rocks and earth, completely
shutting off all means of escape for
those in the mine.
All May Perish.
Whether the explosion occurred at
the far extremity of the mine and killed
the men by the concussion, or whether
1t occurred nearer the shaft and impris-
oned the men is not known. There have
been no means as yet of finding the ex-
act nature of the disaster and the num-
Der of men that were killed. If the
mine entrance cannot be cleaned out so
that the men can get fresh air all will
have perished in the course of few
hours. With the knowledge that scores
of lives depended on the prompt action
of laborers at the mouth of the mine an
excited gang of men was soon working
with might and main. Help was sum-
moned from all sources available and
as many men assisted in the work Of
rescue as could conveniently work
there.
Halfsa dozen men working near the
mouth of the pit on the tipple were
caught in the wreckage and three were
seriously injured. They were brought
to this city, one, Henry Mahew, dying
upon arrival. The two others, George
Waltman and F. N. Gillespie. were re-
moved to the Allegheny general hos
pital. Waltman will die.
Help Hurried to Scene.
Superintendent George Sheets, as
soon as he heard Of the accident, tele-
phoned to Cheswick and Springdale for
assistance. Gangs of workmen were
sent in response and physicians hurried

Will waive Senatorial Rights.

Washington, Jan. Ex-senator Bur-
ton, of Kansas, against whom federal
grand jury on Saturday returned an in
dictment for accepting bribe from
the Rialto Grain company, has indicat-
ed to his friends his intention of waiv-
ing all his rights as a United States SEN
ator and accepting service in the case at
once. He left for st. Louis Sunday
evening, expressing his determination
to force the matter to an immediate is

wick, and was opened about two years
ago. The company is allied with the
Allegheny Coal company and it is said
was operated by Cleveland capitalists.
The mine, it is stated, has always been
a gaseous one, but there has never been
any serious trouble there before. Super
intendent Sheets stated that he feared
the worst, but there was possibility
that some Of the miners might have
sought refuge in one Of the mine cham
bers away from the fire and in this way
escaped death.
The scene about the mouth of the pit
was indeed pitiful. Hundreds of wives
and children surrounded the mouth
of the shaft crazed with grief and anx-
iously awaiting any news from the en-
tombed men. AS quickly as possible
rescuing party was organized, but up to
two o'clock no one has been able to de-
scend into the mine.
Gas Explosion Suspected.
There was little fire following the ex-
plosion. For few minutes smoke hung
around the mouth Of the shaft. Then
it drifted away and, except for the par
TALLY wrecked tipple, there was moth
ing to show that several score of hui
man beings had probably gone to their
death in an instant. While the exact
cause of the catastrophe has not been
determined, it undoubtedly resulted
from an explosion of gas. The explo-
sion coming several hours after the
men went into the mine would indicate
that vein of gas had been tapped, If
it had been from a firedamp the explo-
sion would have resulted as soon as the
men descended into the mine. 1t is said
the mine safety lamps required by law
were used by all the men.
What caused the gas to ignite will
probably not be known until an official
investigation has been made.

For many decades South Caro-
lima proudly boasied of the purity
of her ballot box but in recent
years in some sections question
able methods of securing votes
have been adopted, which, very
naturally, have resulted in the
practice Of fraud at the ballot box.
,is encouraging to see that in
some counties-notably Saluda
and Richland-every precaution is
being used to stamp out corrupt
campaigning and fraud in cleo
tions. A strenuous effort will be
made to enforce the law against
treating with liquor near voting
prccints. Even the Richland ex-
ecutive committee has gone so far
as to require candidates to sign
pledge to the effect that they will
,eaecure votes by certain ques-
.tionable means, Furthermore re-
.qniring them to file a sworn state
ment with the committee giving
each item of their campaign ex-I
:pense in detail. This may not
check the evils above referred to-
but will curtail them to some ex-
tent. Upon the whole the great
est satisfaction comes in knowing
that those in au:horltyin the party
ranks are endeavoriDg to do their
full duty in the premises, and in
soS doing they will receive the Co
of every ingenious citi-

women Of Charleston who desired
to take an advanced college course
knocked for admission into the
College Of Charleston, asking that
it be made a co-educational insti-
+ tuition. This request was not grant
ed. Now the youl.g women are
again agitating the matter, sug=
gesting that an annex be added to
the college for the special benefit
of women. This request is reason
able and proper, and we can see
no good reason why it should not
be acceded to. At present Char
lesion has no female school with a
high standard, consequently after
completing the course in the city
schools the young women are COM
PEELED to go elsewhere if they
sdrink deep of the Pierian spring."
This is a reflection upon city
of Charleston's size.
We are a great believer in edu-
cating-thoroughly, not superb
cially-the women of the country
who are to become the mothers of
the generations yet unborn. What
power under heaven can measure
the influence of an educated,
Christian mother :? The easiest
and most effective way to educate
young women is by removing every
obstacle and placing the oppor-
tunity at,their very doors.
