MINE EXPLOSION KILLS SIX.
-Four Others Injured. Two Of Them Fatally, al
Princeton, Ind.

Princeton. Ind, (Special) Six min
ers dead and four injured, two fatally,
is the result of an explosion in the mine
of the Princeton Coal and Mining Com
pany.
Their bodies were rescued two hours
after the explosion, the delay being
caused by the inability OF the rescuers
to combat after-danp. The five in
jured. including George Dill, who later
died, were brought to the surface thirty
minutes after the explosion. They were
found heaped together in an unconscious
state. When the explosion occurred most
of the miners had left the mine. Wheth-
er the explosion was premature shot
or an overcharge is not known.
Within short time fifty women, rela-
tivcs of the miners, surrounded the
mouth OF the shaft and anxiously awaited
each ascension of the cage. The miners
worked hcroically and number were
overcome by the foul air which filled the
mine. The explosion hurled supporting
timbers in every direction. In conse-
qdence the slate roof gave way in many
places and the rescuers were in constant
danger from this source.
This is the second serious disaster in
the mine, an explosion some years ago
having killed nine men. The mine was
then the property of the Maule Coal

RUSSIANS STILL RETIRING.
No Serious Fighting Is Expected for Some
Weeks

St. Petersburg (By Cable) General
Linevitch continues the retirement of
the bulk of his army northward.
The General Staff now declares it is
certain that Field Marshal Oyama has
been compelled to relinquish the idea OF
pursuit in force for the present. The
Japanese forces on the Russian hanks are
too light to constitute a serious danger,
and lull in heavy fighting for several
weeks, if not months, is predicted by
some of the correspondents.
A Russian correspondent warns the
ST. Petersburg authorities of the dan
gers of Japanese activity in Mongolia,
where he says their emissaries are en-
listing the Lamas and arousing their
old warlike spirit.
A late dispatch from General Line
witch says:
"a Russian patrol has been fired upon
by Japanese cavalry and infantry occu-
pying the village of Puljuschu.
"There has been no change in the po-
sition of the armies during the day.
"On March 23 detachment of Rus
sian cavalry drove back a force of Jap
anese cavalry approaching the station of
Shuaningausa. The same day several
Japanese squadrons attacked small
Russian mounted detachment on the ex-
treme Russian left about four miles from
the station of Nanshentsi. Russian cav
airy reinforcements were sent there and
forced the Japanese, who refused to face
charge, back to Nanshentsi, their re-
treat being covered by infantry

ceived in London says:

MIRACULOUS ESCAPE.
Workman Blown From Tunnel Under
Water.

New York, (SpeciaD Blown through
break in tunnel in the East river by
an explosion, carried to the surface of
the water and shot 20 feet into the air,
Richard Creedon, laborer, was rescued
only slightly hurt
His escape from death seemed almost
miraculous. Three of his companions
were rescued in the tunnel and carried
out, all painfully but not seriously in
jured.
The men were at work in the forward
compartment of the railroad tunnel un-
der the East river, between Brooklyn
and the Battery, which is to be used
eventually to connect the Manhattan
subway lines with Brooklyn subway
lines. Two tubes side by side are in
process of construction.
The Brooklyn end of one of the tubes
had been extended about Is feet beyond
the end of the pier line at the foot of
Joralenon street. Twenty-Five men were
at work in the tunnel when the accident
happened. Creedon and his three COM
parlions were in the forward compart-t
ment working under high pressure of
air. In a compartment back of them Is
other men were at work. This second
compartment was not affected by the
accident, as there is a bulkhead be-
tween.
Creedon was the first to ascertain that
the roof of the tunnel was leaking and
the air was rushing out into the bot
tom of East river, which was about 40
feet deep above them. With sandbags
he attempted to plug tip the leak, but
as he did SO, the whole roof was blown
out and the tremendous force of the
compressed air drove Creedon out
through the hole.
The upward rush of air carried him
to the surface in twinkling, and he
shot into the air with great force. By
ISLANDERS quickly fshed him out of the
water. He was considerably bruised and
shaken up, but was not dangerously hurt.
Bystanders who saw the man shoot to
the surface say that he was shot 20 feet
into the air from the level of the water,
and that his startling appearance so
frightened several Italian laborers ON
the nearby pier that they took to flight
His companions were dragged back
through the tunnel by worknen from
the next compartment,
