MINE EXPLOSION.
Rescue Party at Bluefield, W. Va,
 Brought Ont Fifteen Dead.

BLUEFIELD, W. Va, Feb. 27.-As a result of an explosion in shaft No. of the United States Coal and Coke com. pany at Wilcoe twenty. three miners are supposed to have lost their lives, and it is possible that the number will exceed this. Fifteen dead bodies have been taken from the shaft.
 A large rescuing party is in the mines, and it is barely possible. but not likely. that some of the remaining entombed miners will be rescued alive The explosion was of terrific force and shattered glass windows mile dis tant. Immediately after the shock great numbers of miners. who were of duty, rushed to the shaft to find great clouds of smoke and dust gush- ing from it's mouth.
 The company usually work in this shaft about seventy-fve miners.
 The United States Coal and Coke company, with principal offices in Pittsburg. is part of the United States Steel corporation.
 The cause of the explosion has not as yet been determined. and since it is hardly probable any of those in the mine will be recovered alive the cause of the explosion may never be known.

FAILS TO GIVE NAMES.
Mrs. Chadwick Taken From court in
State of Collapse.

Cleveland, o.. Dec. 5.-NIrs. Cassie L.
Chadwick was taken into the federal
bankruptcy court today upon her own
request, for the purpose, as she stated,
of completing her testimony as to some
of her financial dealings. Although she
has recently stated that she could reveal
certain facts of Importance, nothing of
that nature was brought out and the
hearing ended with Mrs. Chadwick in
a condition bordering on collapse.
Mrs. Chadwick said that she would
make some further statements concern
ing her transactions provided that GER
tain persons she alleged have benefited
greatly through her dealings would first
tell what they knew. She mentioned DR..
W. H. Kitchen, president Of the State
Savings & Trust company Of this city
and J. A Smith, an attorney, and one
of the directors of the bank. Attorney
Smith Immediately stated to the court
that the only dealings he had with Mrs
Chadwick was about four years ago,
when she borrowed IS, 500 from the bank
and some months later the money was
paid back through him Requested to
give additional names Mrs. Chadwick
became excited and almost hystericaI
and said she did not wish to give them
in public, stating that she did not want
to have anybody exposed She said
that these. persons had benefited to the
extent of hundreds of thousands of dol
lars by her and the money might be
recovered for the benefit of the creditors
if suits were begun. Pressed for the
names she refused to give them and
finally showed evidence Of fainting and
was assisted from the court room. Be
fore being taken back to jail she said
she would give the names to Trustee
Nathan LOeser in private and he could
do what he thought best.
