CODY DIVORCE CASE
Stopped Suddenly Because There
Were No More Witnesses.

Cheyenne, Wyo., Feb. 20.-The
Cody case terminated abruptly this
evening, both sides announcing that
they had no more witnesses. Mrs.
Cody will give her deposition at
North Platte, Neb., on February 2S,
at which time others will testify in
her behalf, and Cody will file deposi-
tions in rebuttal on March 9Th, to-
gether with new testimony.
The final hearing and arguments
will be heard at Sheridan, Wyo., on
March 20.
Cody leaves the United States on
March for France. A decision will
be handed down about April 6.
The defense scored a strong point
against Col. Cody this afternoon when
it was shown that Cody's sickness
at the big banquet in North Platte,
at which it was charged he was given
drug by Mrs. Cody, may have been
caused by teacup full of whiskey
given by the club chef, as a bracer.
Bankers and prominent merchants
and leading women of North Platte
testified today that in 23 years they
had never heard Mrs. Cody use pro-
fame language and never knew her
to take drink.

ONE HUNDRED LIVES LOST
IN AWFUL MINE DISASTER
Gas Explosion Near Entrance Of Mine in Alabama
EntOmbs Scores of Men---Mne Closed
by Mass of Debris.
HEROIC WORK ,OF: BRAVE RESCU|NG PARTIES

Birmingham, Ala, Feb. 20.-An aw-
full disaster, which, 1t is believed will
result in the loss of over 100 lives.
is reported from the Virginia mines
which are situated nearly 20 miles
from here. RELIEF trains bearing ply
sicians and relief gangs have been
sent from surrounding points but it
is feared they will not reach the
scene in time to render any valuable
assistance.
Reports as to the cause of the ex-
aster do not agree, but all of them
say that more than five score of min
ers are entombed. 1t is believed that
a gas explosion caused the trouble
which choked the shafts. But, as
in these mines, other causes may be
accepted for the awful loss of life,
The mines belong to the Alabama
Steel C Wire Co. and are leased by
Reid Co. Only short time ago
union miners went to work there and
both white men and negroes are en-
ployed
The slopes are all well construct
ed and the mines were considered
to be as safely arranged as they pos
sibly could be. 1t is possible that
the accident was caused by cave-in
but this is not thought probable.
The latest reports from the mines,
which are situated about seven miles
from Bessemer, say that 105 men are
entombed and the accident was caus-
ed by a gas explosion close to the
entrance. The explosion was follow
ed by choking mass of broken
timbers, coal, and earth which COM
pletely closed the entrance and shut
off the unfortunate men below from
the outer world.
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1905-02-24

The report of the explosion quick
spread through the surrounding col
onies and terrified mothers with their
children and other relatives of the I'M
fortunate workers soon gathered near
the closed entrance. The cries of
the women and children were heart
breaking, but this only spurred on the
noble fellows who were working un-
ceasingly to dig away the huge mass
Of debris that separated them from
their buried comrades.
There was no lack of volunteers
In making up the gangs of life savers
who tackled the gigantic work of re-
lief and release.
Gang after gang of big, lusty,
strong armed fellows dug and picked
their way into the bowels of the
earth, each vieing with the other
to do three mems work at once.
At any ordinary time their efforts
would have been deemed extraordin-
ary, but to those grief stricken ones
who watched their hopeless efforts.

ating company but when they arriv-
ed they had nothing to do other than
stand by idly, except to render med
ical attention to fainting women,
and there we're many of these.
Up to midnight the rescuers had
not dug further into the mine than
the second lift. Not a living or dead
body had been brought to the sur.
face and grave fears are entertained
that the sixth lift, where the en-
! trapped miners were at work, will
not be reached before tomorrow NOR.

BILL TO PREVENT

San Juan, p, R., Feb. 20.--So sue

disease known as tropical anemia, by

has been introduced appropriating
$4,000 for the continuance of the
work.
Tents are to be re-erected all over
the island and corps Of physicians
conversant with the disease are to be

St Petersburg, Feb. 21.-"The Zem-

autocracy and to prevent revolution.
Even though 1t be true that the an
cient institution of the Zemsly Tabor
will be revived. the czar does not feel
safe and the spectre of Grand Duke

Constantine Gaume, a Pennsylvania

morning at about 1880 just east of

attention but his ears were covered
with ear flaps and he was unable to
hear the warning and was crushed un-

fellow workmen he was dead. His

Retaliation will be the plan of the
various bridge companies or Ohio In
meeting the prosecution that is being
started by Ex-Attorney General Frank
Monnett to recover money paid out for
bridges where the exact letter of the
law was not observed In letting the
contracts. The law which applies to
the letting of bridges applies also to
the purchasing of every commodity
for the county, 1t Is claimed, even to
supplies for institutions like the in
firmary. 1t relates to the planking
of bridges, to putting in of culverts,
and II enforced strictly would reach
nearly rs per cent Of the money spent
by the county.
The bridge men from all over the
country will have a meeting and get
together to meet the issue. 1t Is said
that scores of additional suits are CON-
ing against the bridge people. They
have had similar cases taken to the
supreme courts and one to the United
States court and 1t has been held that
they have an equity claim If the
bridges have been furnished and the
county is using them.
The plan is If the prosecution is
persisted In to begin actions against

INFORMATION
WILL SEND GERMAN PRINCE TO
THE FAR EAST. ...
Brother-in-Law of the Kaiser viii Go
to Manchuria and Report on
Conditions.

Chicago, Feb. 20.--A dispatch to the
Daily News from a staff correspon-
dent in Berlin says:
Distracted by the conflicting and in
triguing reports of his own officers
the czar has determined to learn the
Manchuria, through a non-Russian
agency in the person of Lieut.. Gen.
eral Prince Frederick Leopold of
Prussia, brother-in-law of the kaiser,
who sails for the Far East this week.
Your correspondent is able to make
ment of the real reason why a mem
ber of the royal family, one of the
highest ranking officers of the Ger
man army, is sent to brave the Tigors
of the Manchurian campaign.
Prince Frederick returned from St.
Petersburg yesterday after taking
leave of Nicholas and acquainting
himself fully with his majesty's
wishes. The results of his highness'
investigations will reach Russia
through German channels. Elaborate
precautions have been arranged to Sc
cure transmission Of his reports di-
rect and exclusively to the czar. Mich
olas was so anxious to secure the SER
vice of German expert for the pur-
pose of ascertaining the truth in Man
churia that he insisted on paying all
expenses involved, but the kaiser's
selection fell on Frederick, who is
very rich and refused to go unless al
lowed to pay his own bills.
Prince Frederick is considered one
of the most brilliant soldiers in Ger
many. He is dashing cavalry man
and was the winner of the long dis
tance ride from Berlin to Vienna a
few years ago. He is son of Prince
Frederick Karl, one of the leaders of
the German army in the Franco-Prus-
sian war The selection of a German
officer for this highly special service
in behalf of the czar, instead of an Of
fjcer of the allied French army, is in
terpreted as a fresh addition to the
many proofs the war has afforded that
Russia feels itself considerably closer
to Germany than to France.
