ANOTHER MINE EXPLOSION
ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY MEN
ENToMBED IN WEST VIRGINIA.
Many Are Believed TO Be Dead and
Some Are Horribly Injured-Twen.
ty-seven Have Been Taken from
Mine, Nine Dead.

An explosion of gas In the mine OF
the Century Coal company at Century,
n small mining town 80 miles south OF
Fairmont, W. Va, ON the Phillip and
Buckhannon branch of the Baltimore
and Ohio, at 4 clock yesterday af'
ternoon, entombed at least $50 miners,
many OF whom are believed TO be dead.
At IL o'clock last night q men had
been taken out of the Century mine,
Nine are dead and the others horribly
injured. 4 relief gang, headed by
superintendent John Ward entered the
mine at $50, but since II O'Clock moth
ing has been heard from the accident,
as the telephone wires have been put
out by storms and no other means OF
communication is available.
The mine is owned by Shaw Broth
ers of Baltimore and is one of the
largest in northern West Virginia.
Two hundred and fifty men are en-
ployed, but many of these came out be-
fore the explosion occurred
Following the explosion, relief trains
were run from Buckhannon and Phil
lipi, taking physicians to the scene.
Until they return, little in detail will
be learned of the accident.
Immediately following the explosion
the officials began house to house
canvass to ascertain the number OF
men TO be found on the surface. This
resulted in 100 miners being located.
IL is believed that there are many more
outside who have not yet been ac-
counted for. If this is not true there
are still IS men in the mine with little
nope of their being alive.

grandchildren, and grandchildren,
numerous other relatives were present.

freshments of cake and coffee were

Mr. and Mrs. Herrick were married

RocKINaHAM LICENSE BOARD.
License and No.License Elements Clash

business men and manufacturers had
signed that petition. n. g. Williams

board, he said, would do all they could
10 make the law odious.
n. q. Williams said that +. Il. Keefe
had told him that he knew Of sales in
kitchen bar-rooms under prohibition
and told him but short time before
the last town meeting that he knew of
kitchen bar-rooms in Bellows Falls un-
der no-license, yet he never heard of
Keefe's giving the officers of the law
any information that would lead to
the conviction of the guilty parties.
Keefe denied Williams 8 statements,
saying: ~ will take my solemn oath
in any court before any set of judges,
that / never made statements to Mr..
Williams, as he alleges, and that | did
not talk with him for at least six
months prior to the last town meeting.
The man that makes those statements
is not entitled to the respect of a
cur" To this Mr.. Williams replied
with much emphasis that he would
make oath that conversations did take
place as alleged.
After short consultation the judges
announced that they had been in
formed that one of the candidates
would not serve if Glynn was appoint
ed and so they had decided to appoint
Wheeler, Bacon, and Keefe. The board
as chosen, therefore, is composed of
one no-license and two license men.

Reflects Upon Vermont Republicanism.

The Greenfield Recorder says: The
issue of the Australian ballot has been
precipitated in Vermont by the in
sistence of United States Judge Wheel
er of Brattleboro that he had a right
to mark his ballot on the side of the
house instead of in booth, if he chose
to. The encouragement concluded
that the Judge had not violated the law
in marking it on the rail, as he kept
his ballot secret, and the incident
might pass if it were not threatened
that the Legislature will feel called
upon to grapple with the law. 1t is
significantly stated that the republi-
can leaders of the state are opposed to
the whole idea of the law and would
be glad to see it abolished. The re.
Election is not so much upon the law
as upon the quality of the republican
party in the state. In Massachusetts,,
the man who seriously opposed the Sc.
cret ballot would find himself out OF
business with promptness.

WILL TAKE ITS OWN SAMPLES.
Water Board Declines the Offer Made by MIR.

Geo. E. Crowell, Brattleboro, VT:
Dear Sir-Your open letter Of March 18th
was duly received, contents noted and mas
been carefully considered. am free to ac-
knowledge the misunderstanding as to the
samples of water taken at Mr.. Bacon.s house
and that it has no bearing on the Pleasant
Valley supply. However, by your own state
ment, it was at the time took the sample
part of the reservoir supply and what the
consumers supplied from the reservoir were
getting.
Your offer in regard to the taking OF wa
ter samples in the future has been fully con-
sidered by the water board and is respectfully
declined. We do not question your ability to
take samples properly, and we feel quite con-
fident of our own. It would seem to us to
be a needless amount Of trouble. Our sam
ples will be taken from the sources OF sup
ply mainly.
I am informed by q resident of the Pleas
ant Valley watershed, that the Italian Ia
borers on your works have been in the habit
of washing their clothes in Pleasant Valley
brook. This might add something to the
favor of the water and increase the variety
of microbes. Very truly,

Woman's Club Notes.

The advertising and demonstrating
fair. which was to have been held next
week, has been postponed.
Mrs. Alice Bates Rice Of Boston has
been engaged for the musical to be
given at the Brooks House April 4.
The program will be entirely from
from American composers. Mrs. Rice
is the soprano soloist in Kings chapel
and very well known in Boston where
she has appeared in many concerts and
productions of musical works.
The Woman s club held its Reciproc-
ity day meeting at the hospitable
home of Miss Susan Clark in West
Brattleboro, Wednesday. In absence
of the secretary, Mrs. +. s. knight was
elected secretary pro TEN. Mrs. Wells
reported for the club rooms committee
that in the new Crosby g. Adams block
rooms may be secured, one 40 by %
feet, one SO feet square, including
toilet rooms, with partitions as the
club desires, for $400 year. This re-
port was accepted and laid on the table
for one month for consideration. A
letter from the corresponding secretary
of the State Federation was read urg-
ing that all memDefs ol thc ciuu oe
come subscribers to The Northern,
edited by Mrs. Mary l. Wood, which
magazine has been accepted by the
state federation as its official organ.
Russian dance, very skillfully
played by Mrs. John Barrows and MISS
Holden, opened the program. Miss
Weatherhead followed with a pleasing
violin solo. Mrs Mary /. Wood of
Portsmouth, N. H., chairman OF the IN
formation bureau of the general FED.
GRAFTON, was the guest and speaker OF
the afternoon. Mrs. wood is woman
of delightful presence and fasclnat-
ing speaker. She is typical clup
woman of the best sort, being interest
ed most of all in her home and family
and giving her leisure time to the up
building of clubs when mean 80 much
to the women of these days, Mrs.
Wood forcibiy impressed her hearers
with the assertion that tins recent
club movement is not thing OF fads
and frills, but a permanent feature, an
evolution in the worlds history which
was bound to come. The industria! pc.
riod of the last century occupied all OF
a woman s time. Man brought all raw
materials to her to make into commod,
tiles. Then came the inventive period
and machines accomplished the work
which women had been doing and more
time for them was the result. Some
women were forced by this from the
home to take their places as wage earn
ers for the family in factory, store,
and shop. Another class spend the ac-
quired leisure entirely in the pursuit
of pleasures. The club gets little help
from such but between these two
classes is large group OF women
