DAMP
KILLS MANY
WEST VIRGINIA MINE HORROR
CAUSES LOSS OF TWENTY
FOUR LIVES.

Charleston, w. Va, March 20. -
Fourteen men Sunday lost their lives
in Rush Run and Red Ash mines, near
Thurmond in vain attempt to re-
cover the bodies Of ten miners who
were killed by fierce explosion Sat
urday night. The exploring party was
killed by a second explosion and by
after damp.
Explosion Is Terrific.
The first explosion seemed to shake
the foundations of the mountains and
the angry twin flash from the two
neighboring drift mouths lighted up
the heavens for two miles around. The
first explosion was caused by naked
flame" coming in contact with gas.
Flames leaped from the drift mouth
and set fire to everything in reach that
was not blown from harms way by
the explosion.
The great drum. by which the
loaded cars are run from the drift
mouth down the incline to the tipple
and the empties drawn up, was blown
from it's moorings and down the noun
tainside, 600 feet, while the drum
house caught fire and was consumed.
The cars standing at the mouth of the
mine were blown far down toward the
tipple and much of the track of the in
cline was destroyed The rails were
twisted and the cross ties were
whipped from their beds in the ballast
and sent scorched and charred, many
yards away. The big fan that fur
nished air in the mine was SO badly
damaged that it was several hours be-
fore it could be started again.
Rescue Party Killed.
The great fan was repaired and it
began drawing 100000 cubic feet of
aid through the charnel house each
minute. A rescue party of twenty men
entered the mine in search Of the bod
les of those who had perished at the
first explosion. The men explored the
mines for two or three hours putting
up brattices SO that pure air should fol
low them wherever they went.
Finally six Of them came out and re
ported that the other fourteen were go
ing forward faster than the good all
was supplied carrying at the same
time naked" light Soon afterwar6
another awful explosion occurred anC
fourteen more miners were dead.
A New Rescue Party.
| The second explosion again dam
aged the fan and it was not until this
morning that another rescue party was
able to enter the nine

dent Occurred at $3.50 O'clock.

Lingering for hours in the most ter.
rible agony from fatal burns due to
playing with matches Robert Wesley
Terry, colored, the 3-year-old child of
MI. and Mrs. Frank Terry, passed
away at 1880 o'clock this morning.
For four hours this morning the agon-
lied father, the aged grandmother,
Mrs. J. w. Lee, and sympathizing
friends stood about the couch of the
little fellow waiting hopelessly for
him to breath his last.
The Accident.
The burning occurred at about $3.50
o'clock this morning. Little Robert
lives with his grandmother
Mrs. ]. w. Lee. Robert had
just. climbed out Of bed and started
to put on his shoes in front of the
stove when Mrs. Lee left for the gro.
Gerry store. She had not been gone
over five minutes. When she started to
returne home someone met her and
told her that her house was on fire.
When she arrived, little Robert had
been carried out. and the inside of the
front room was blazing freely The
child was taken into neighbor's
house, and the fire department and
doctors were notified by telephone.
Through some mistake the department
caught the location of the fire as on
Myrtle street and both the North Side
wagons made the run across the river
BY the time the wagons had returned
and made the run to Meadow street
the fire had gained considerable head
way. 1t was quickly extinguished and
the loss is perhaps not over $50.
-.-s Entire Body Burned.
DR.. A. o. Williams and DR.. NJ. Ban
mister arrived quickly and after an ex
animation of the boy declared his
burns fatal. He was carefully attended
and everything possible done to re
lieve his suffering. His entire body
from head to feet is severely burned
and it is the belief of the physicians
that his lungs are injured by breathing
the flames that enveloped his body.
Although his suffering was most in
tense he was not unconscious at any
time. To the attendants he said that
he had struck a match to see it burn
and that his night gown caught fire
from the flame.
