India, bring advices of an atrocious mas
sacre at a little colony on the west coast

selves in a reserve on the top of a hill,
while the others rushed upon the set
Element. The wife and children Of the

killed. The rabels first attacked'the in

electric SPARK
PROVES DEADLY
CAUSES EXPLOSION OF LARGE
AMOUNT OF POWDER IN AN
ILLINOIS MINE.
Five Workmen Are Instantly Killed,
One Body Being Torn to Pieces
Three Others Are Fatally and Sew
eral Seriously Hurt.

Carbonate, H., May 12.-In an explo-
sion Wednesday at the shaft of the Big
Muddy Coal & Iron company, in Herrin,
five men were killed outright, five seri-
ously injured and 20 others slightly in
jured. The dead are: John Miller, Dick
Reins, Fritz Seiberg. Evan Williams,
Thomas Green.
Fatally injured: John Swofford,
Frank Lazonia, Angelo Scaronia.
The Cause.
The disaster was one of the most seri-
Gus in the history of the coal industry in
this section for many years. Six kegs
of powder 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
machines was turned on, and the eX-
ploslon followed. 1t is supposed that
through some mistake the current was
switched on before Miller had distributed
the powder.
