TE RRIBLE MINE EXPLOSION
Over a Score Killed BY Ignition Of
Of Coal Gas From Lamp.
Rush Run and Red Ash Mines Near
Thur1nond, w.CFa. Almost
Demolished.

Charleston, w. va. las the result Of
a double explosion in the Rush Run
and Red Ash mines, near Thurmond,
twenty-four men now lie dead in the
two mines. Ten of these were killed
in the first explosion, which occurred
at night, and the othe~ fourteen were
a rescuing party who entered the mines
the next morning to take out the bodies
of their fellow w0rkmen. The rescuing
party were killed by a second explo-
sion and the after-damp.
The first explosion seemed to shake
the foundation of the mountains. The
angry twin flashes from the two neigh
boring drift mouths lighted up the
heavens for miles around. Soon from
the mining villages for several miles up
and down the river hundreds Of people
rushed to the scene of the disaster
The first explosion was caused by
naked" fame coming in contact with
gas. The flames leaped from the drift
mouth and set fire to everything within
reach that was not blown away by the
force of the explosion. The great drum
by which loaded cars are run from the
drift mouth down the incline to the
tipple and the emptips drawn up was
blown from it's moorings and down the
mountainside 600 feet, while the drum
house caught fire and was totally con
Sumed
The cars that stood at the mouth Of
the mine were blown far down toward
the tipple, and much of the track of
the Incline was destroyed. The rails
were twisted and the crossties were
whipped from the beds in the ballast
and sent, scorched and charred, many
yards away. The big fan that fur
nished air in the mine was so damaged
that it was several hours before it
could be started again. :.
After considerable time the great fan
was repaired and the power turned on.
and it began drawing 100000 cubic feet
Of air through the mine each minute.
A rescue party was formed and about
twenty men entered the mine in search
of the bodies of those who had perished
in the first explosion.
The men explored the mines for two
or three hours, putting up brattices so
that pure air should follow them wher-
ever they went. Finally SOME of them
came out and reported that the others
were too careless in going forward
faster than the good air was being
supplied, carrying at the same time a
naked light.
At 3.45 another awful explosion oc-
Cured, caused by the gas coming in
contact with the naked fame Of a
miners lamp, and fourteen men were
killed. This explosion was not so forci-
BILE as the former, but was more awful
in it's effects, and was followed by a
shorter, thinner tongue of fame
Mine Inspector Edward Pinckney, af-
ter arriving on the ground, took charge
of the rescue work. The second explo-
sion again damaged the fan, and Mr.
Pinckey would allow no one to enter
the mine until it was working properly
and a draft of fresh air was running
through the mine.

Who Fell Through Manhole.


New York City.-T wade through

to save a little boys life was feat
that Robert Cook, the assistant janitor

One Hundred and Forty fifth street,
performed successfully. Leyone Sari-
van, five years old, whose parents live
at 50S West One. Hundred and Forty
fifth street, is the boy who owes his
life to Cooks act
Several days ago the cover of the
manhoIe over the thirty -six-inch sewer
that passes under West One Hundred
and Forty-ff street, between Amster-
dam avenue and Broadway, was bro
ken, making the place dangerous. AS
the city authorities were slow about
having the manhole, which was direct
ly in front of the school. fixed, Cook
rugged up a wooden cover which he
fastened in place with a chain, and to
make it more secure he placed a big
stone on top of it. The children took
great interest in the funny looking
cover of the manhole, and on several
occasions Cook had to run them away.
A crowd of little boys. of whom Sari-
van was one. succeeded In removing
the cover. They all took look into
the sewer. and in some unexplained
way young Sariyan lost his balance
and fell in. The children began to
scream and shout for nelp, the noise at
tracing Cook. He pulled off his coat,
and, jumping into the sewer, reap
peared five minutes later with the boy.

 All restrictions against travel to and from points in Louisiana and Missis- sippi have already been raised by the Alabama authorities and the raising of the quarantine against Pensacola and its adjacent county would mean the passing of the fight by Alabama against yellow fever.
 No new cases of yellow fever have been reported fn Pensacola for three days and the detention camp near Me- David, Fla, was abandoned several days ago as there was no longer need for 1t.
