MANY MINERS
WERE KILLED
Terrific Explosion Occurred
in a ColIiery at Wilcoe,
w. Va.
FIFTEEN BODIES RECOVERED

Roanoke. w. Va. Feb 27--As the
result OF an explosion in shaft No. 1
pf the United States Coal and Coke
company. at Wilcoe, yesterday. %
miners are supposed to have lost their
lives. and it is possible that the num-
ber will exceed this. Up to a m. is
dead bodies had been taken from the
shaft. A large rescuing party are in
the mine. tits 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 a mile dis
tant Immediately after the shock
great numbers of miners, who were
off duty yesterday. it being Sunday
rushed to the shaft TO find great
clouds of smoke and dust gushing
from its mouth. Mothers. children and
other relatives soon were weeping and
pleading. for the rescue of those dear
to them entombed in the mine The
officials Of the mines, including Gen
eral Manager Refs, were soon on the
ground and the work of rescuing the
miners is now being directed by Mr..
Reis The dead miners thus far E9cov-
cred are all Italians and Hungarians,
and have not as yet been identified,
The company usually work in this
shaft about rs miners, but yesterday
being Sunday, the men were not all
in, and the small loss of life can be
attributed only 10 this fact.
The cause Of the explosion has not
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. s4

Evening journal., 1905-02-27


The New York Herald predicts that in
the Middle States and New England today
clear and considerably colder weather and
brisk to fresh northwesterly and westerly
winds will prevail, temperatures falling
below the freezing point in the northern
districts. on Tuesday partly cloudy TO
overcast weather and fresh variable winds
viii prevail, with nearly stationary, fol-
lowed by slightly higher temperature and
by snow in this section, and on wednes-
day partly cloudy weather, preceded BY
snow or rain in the coast districts with
moderate temperature changes.
BY far the most important announce
ment made by the Garrick management
this season. from at least more than one
point of view, is the appearance of a
demonstration of Liquid Air at the house
during the week commencing today. The
possibilities Of this marvellous discovery
are comparatively little known, yet we
are compelled to admit that as an ex-
plosive force II lis far greater than gum
powder, that 1t can perform wonderful
experiments in the extremes of heat and
cold and that # Is capable of other things
equally as mysterious. Vaudeville has
contributed nothing to the amusement
world this season that hasiattraeted more
genuine interest. While people go to the
atres as rule to laugh and enjoy them
selves they also go TO be entertained in
other ways, and the number who have
paid their money to see Liquid Air demon
strated has exceeded even the fondest
hopes of the theatrical managers. And IN
every case the people have been VII sat
ished. In offering this attraction at the
every case the people have been well sat
fed that he is giving something which will
interest most everyone and particularly
those who are scientifically inclined. The
act goes on about $50 at matinee and $50
az evening performances. II costs on an
average of sl.Oo a minute TO operate the
Liquid Air machine, so II will be seen
that this is by no means an inexpensive
number Of this weeks bill.
