mine EXPLOSION
costs many lives
DISASTER DUE TO ACCUMULATED
GAS OCCURS IN COAL SHAFT
AT ZEIGLER,I ILL.
Thirty Seven Bodies Recovered, and
Coroner's Jury Says Forty Three
Were Killed-Explosion in Cart
ridge Factory Kills Three.

Carbondale, ILL.,, April 5.-Th1rty-
seven bodies of miners who lost their
lives in the gas explosion at the mine
of Joseph Letter at Zeigler Monday
have been recovered, and it is supposed
several more bodies are in the mine.
The exact number of dead will. proba-
bly, not be known for several days, at
least not until the mine has been di-
vested of the gas and persons are per-
mitted to enter. Among the dead is
William Atkinson, state mine exam
liner for the Seventh sub-district, who
lost his life in an attempt to perform
his duties as mine inspector, and who
died while trying to reach the bodies
OF those who were entombed.
Accumulated Gas Cause.
The belief is that the gas which
accumulated over Sunday, owing, it is
alleged by w. D. Ryan, secretary Of
the United Mine Workers of America,
to the fact that the miners did not
know how to deal with fire damp, and
that the mine was full of it.
A cage was resting at the mouth OF
the shaft to allow a force of mechanics
to enter the mine. J. L. Wood, of
Cleveland, O., was stepping on the
cage when the explosion occurred. He
was killed outright The flames, leap
ing out Of the shaft, burned several
others, all of whom may recover. An

away. A six ton cage was blown 500
feet from the bottom of the shaft to
the tipple. A miraculous escape from
death was experienced by a workman
on the air shaft. The concussion
hurled him 60 feet into the air, and
he fell outside the stockade, rs yards
away. Besides a few slight bruises he
was not injured.
Verdict of Coroner's Jury.
Zeigler, ILL.,, April 6.-Afterdamp, due
20 an explosion of blasting powder set
off by persons as yet unknown, caused
the death of 43 miners at Joseph Letters
coal mine on Monday, April 8, according
to the verdict of coroner's jury as re-
turned Wednesday.
Three Killed in Explosion.
Bridgeport, Conn.,, April Sin a
terrific explosion that blew to pieces
one of the brick buildings Of the Union
Metallic Cartridge company shortly be-
fore the close of the days work Tues
day, three men were instantly killed.
The only man in the building at the
time, John Meary, was blown through
the roof, with a great mass of debris,
and came down dead. Two helpers,
Michael Hurley and William Bayliss,
working near the building were also
killed. The explosion occurred in the
dry house, where primer caps are dried
on long steam pipes. In some manner
one of the caps was discharged and the
explosion followed.

An AWFUL HORROR
occurs IN india
MEAGER DETAILS INDICATE DIS
AsTER EXCEEDING THAT OF
MOUNT PELEE ERUPTION.
Earthquakes Destroy Entire Cities
Loss of Life Will Be Between 5O,-
and 100, ,OOO-Whole Kangra Val
ley Is Devastated.

London, April S.-Fifty thousand
many thousands in other portions OF
the Punjab is the awful result of the
recent earthquake in India. Towns
have been RACED, ancient and historic
buildings made mass of wreckage,
and population of hundreds of thou
sands offer up prayers against a repeti-
ton Of the shocks. Amid all this hor-
rOr men, women and children are
starving, and unprotected from the
weather huddle on the bleak and DESC
late hillsides, fearing death at any
moment from another earth convul-
sion.
Disaster Almost Beyong Belief.
Fragmentary reports of the dreadful
catastrophe have reached Lahore and
thence sent here. Piecing these reports
together it is impossible not to reach
the conclusion that the greatest disas-
ter of modern times, exceeding the
horror Of Mount Pelee's eruption, has
befallen India.
The whole Kangra valley in the
Jullinder section of the Punjab has
been devastated. The town of Kangra,
in the same district thriving city
with a population of $4,000, is reported
wiped out, scarcely soul escaping.
The whole town of Palampur, con-
tanning about 5000 inhabitants, has
been leveled to the ground and not
even hut is left standing.
Three Missionaries Killed.
A telegram received by the Churtu
Missionary society reports that three
of the society's representatives at Kan
ray-Rev. H. F.. Rowland, Mrs. Daueble
and Miss Lorbeer-were killed by the
fall of the mission house during the
recent earthquake. All the other mis-
sionaries in Punjab are believed to be
safe.
1t now appears that 400 of the Sew
enth Gurkhas were killed at the
Dharmsala cantOnment by the col
lapse of a stone barrack building in
consequence of the recent earthquake.
In addition, 20 members of the First
battalion and SO members of the Sec
ond battalion of the First Gurkhas
were killed, while it is roughly calcu-
lated that from 20 to 80 per cent. of the
native population Of the surrounding
villages were killed. In addition to the
Europeans already reported killed at
Dharmsala, seven children of Euro
peans are said to have, perished.
Relief Steps Taken. III
News comes from Simla, the sum-
mer capital, and where Viceroy and
Lady CurzOn are now staying and
which sustained some slight damage
from the earthquake, that the viceroy,
aided by Lady Curzon, has begu1.
active steps to relieve so far as posi-
BILE the destitution and suffering.
Communication by road and railway
is practically cut off and the supplies
at Simla are all that can be had for
some time. These are inadequate, but
are being distributed to the best possi-
BILE advantage. Unless stores arrive
from Calcutta and other Indian centers
the death roll of the earthquake will
be augmented by thousands claimed by
famine, fever and cold.
