plosion to-day at the shaft of the Big

five men were killed outright. five serious
~ injured and twenty other slightly in
jured.
Dead-John Miller, Dick Reins, Fritz Sci
berg, Evan Williams and Thomas Green.
Fatally injured-John Swofferd, Frank
Lazonia and Angelo Scaronia. Two others
The accident was one OF the most serious
in the history of the coal industry in this
section for many years. Six kegs of pow
der had been placed in the mine during the
time intervening between the night and
day shifts for distribution to the men In
the morning. John Miller. a driver. had
charge of the distribution of the explosives.
Ten minutes after Miller was supposed to
have accomplished his task the electric
current which runs the machinery was
turned on and the explosion followed. 1t
the current was switched on before Miller
had distributed the powder.
Preparations We're hurriedly made by the
men on top to learn the fate of their forty
or more companions below. On reaching
the passage way they were met by fright
full sight. The body of Miller, the driver,
was literally torn to pieces. Evan Williams
was found only short distance from
Miller. and four of those whose injuries
may prove fatal were found in the same
vicinity The three others killed were far
Their from the pit and not badly dis
figured The injured men were found IN
all parts of the mine The dead and in
jured were taken TO the top as rapidly
as possible, the dead to an improvised
norgue and the injured to their homes or
boarding houses.
The coroner's inquest began in Herrin
to-day and will continue Tomorrow.

GERMANS CANNOT SEE
FROM SUBMARINE BOATS
Problem That Works Against
Complete Success of ''Terrors
of the Deep"

BERLIN, May 11.-Upon the third read
ing of the naval budget in the Reichstag
to-day Baron Won Kardoff (Agrarian) asked
Secretary of the Admiralty Won Tirpitz
why the German naval authorities had
done nothing in the direction of building
submarine boats while all the other navies
were experimenting with them. THE Rus
so-Japanese war" he said, must warn us
that our navy is far from what Germany
must demand for its navy Our navy must
be made much stronger" Won Kardoff
further said that the British navy was
growing dangerous for Germany. 1t was
an urgent matter. He claimed Germany
is able TO build new vessels more rapidly
than hitherto and new objects of taxation
can be found
Secretary Won Tirpitz answered that the
naval authorities were following the sub
marine question with the closest attention
and had made some slight experiments of
its own. Won Tirpitz added that the au-
thorities were concentrating their attention
upon carrying out the fleet law. Progress
undoubtedly had been made in the sub
! marine question, but the problem lies in
the possibility of seeing, and herein prog
ress had been remarkably slow. Submarine
boats in the North sea were capable of
splendid achievements. The experiments
would continue, but even if they proved
successful submarine boats would not pro-
duce great revolution so long as the
problem OF seeing was not solved.

ried last night at s o'clock at the residence
of Rev. Joshua Stansfeld, pastor of the

of sickness in the brides family. the we'd
ding was a quiet one, Mr.. and Mrs. l. D.
Lambertson, close friends of both the bride

Winchester and was formerly In the office
of the secretary of the Republican state
committee Her father is a prominent Re
publican editor OF Winchester and is well
known throughout the State, being a
brother of Congressman James Z. Watson,

Mr.. and Mrs. Mathews became acquainted
while the latter was connected with the
Republican state committee last year, and
the friendship that sprung up there reached
its happy elimination in the wedding of
last night.

to have the young people married at his
home in Rushville, but a host of their
friends learned of the proposed affair." and
by their extensive preparations for a cele-
bration caused the bride to change her
plans.

METHOD|STS CONSIDER
THE REPORT ON RULES
Parliamentary Experts Spar, but
the Conference Transacts No
Business.
FOREIGNERS WELCOMED

Los ANGELES Cal. May 11.-Practi-
caIly no business was transacted by the
Methodist General Conference to-day. The
early morning session devoted entire
ly 10 a consideration of the report OF the
committee rules reported by Rev.
Dr. T. b. Nicely, chairman The reading
and debating of the various sections gov
erning the manner of transacting business
on the floor of the conference and the
reference of motions and resolutions to
committees took up the time of the con-
ference until recess. at which time the re-
port was left unfinished. There were many
sharp passages at arms between the par
Iiamentary experts which somewhat enliv
ened an otherwise dull and featureless SEES
sion.
After recess the duty of receiving and
welcoming fraternal delegates, which was
not completed a yesterdays session, was
taken up and long addresses were made by
Rev. William Dodson. fraternal delegate
from Canada, and Rev. j. G. Kilgore, of the
Nj. +. Church South. DR.. Kilgore aroused
the enthusiasm of the delegates to degree
not before reached in the General Confer
ence by his eloquent peroratiOn in which
he asserted that no one could love the
stars and stripes more than the people
of the South. At the conclusion of his
address the audience arose at the request
of Bishop Andrews and sang America -
The present indications are that the
heresy charges that have been made
against several individuals high in the
councils of Methodism are destined TO pro-
woke a spirited conflict among the dele
gates before a final settlement of the con-
cation will have consideration OF this i'm
portant matter

1T is remarkably queer how the sight
of persons and certain objects will often
revive memories and recall incidents seem
ingly long forgotten said Granville
Wright. one of the deputies in the county
recorders office. Just to-day there was
recalled to my mind by the sight of a
woman who came in the office, an incident
that occurred many long years ago.

day had 1 ever thought once of that which
at the time interested and amused me very
much.
THE woman to whom 1 have referred is
an old Irishwoman, but many years ago
she was a young bride. Such devotion to
her husband as she manifested 1 don't
think l have ever seen since. All of her
hopes were centered in his life and work
and everything that her Patrick did was
just right. He was the idol whom she
worshiped and the object of all sher atten-
lions. But ii must have been that she was
too devoted to her husband, for they had
not been married great while until her
Patrick took sick and soon. died. At the
time of his death it was the dead of win
ter, and the body was temporarily laid
away in a vault The weather was bitter
cold and each hour that passed il grew
colder and colder. As the widow pinned her
hours away she thought of her dead hus-
band, out in the cold cemetery, and how
very uncomfortable he must be. So that
she might in some way alleviate the suf-
ferngs of the corpse she demanded of the
undertaken that he take some comforts
and place them over the body of her dead
husband that he might be kept warm until
he should be returned to mother earth.
The undertaken at first refused, but so per-
sistent the young widow in her de-
mands that he had to yield. He finally
granted her the peace of mind that she

VIENNA, May u.-Rumors circulated of
the intention of King Peter of Servia TO
abdicate have drawn emphatic contra
diction from King Peter himself, who, in
an interview with the Belgrade correspond
ent of the Politische Correspondent. de-
clares the reports of his intention to abdi-
cate in favor OF his son 10 be pure in
ventions. He. considers it his duty to remain
at his post so long as God preserves his
life and says he has no intention of alter
ing or suspending the Constitution or of
dsmissing the present Ministry. The King
adds that such unparliamentary and un-
patriotic proceedings would injure the de-
velopment of Servia at a moment when the
country Is beginning to consolidate.
