ANOTHER MINE HORROR.
Twenty-Eisht Coal Diggers Sent to
Their Do:m by Explosion in West
Virginia Pit.

A Charleston, w. Va, dispatch says:
At least twenty-eight men are sup
posed to have met death in terrible
mine explosion in the Parall mine OF
the Stewart Collieries company near
Oak Hill, Thursday. Thirty-nine men
were employed in the mice, and only
eleven have escaped alive.
At midnight six bodies had been re-
covered near the mouth Of the mine,
and it is certain that all the others
in the mine are dead.
The explosion occurred at 1870
o'clock Thursday afternoon, and was
caused by a pocket of gas, which was
struck in a fault in the mine. The
explosion was terrific, and it is thought
that many of the miners were Killed
outright by the explosion.
The system of fans was complete
ly wrecked by the explosion, and all
air was shut off from the mines, leav-
ing the men who had not been killed
by the explosion to smother to death.
The mine is a shelter mine about TOO
feet deep and the unfortunate miners
had little chance OF escape.
Most of the miners caught in the
mine are Hungarians or negroes, who
had little experience in mining They
were not expecting the pocket of gas
which is nearly always discovered IN
mine faults in the Kanawha region.

excitement, politics now being at fe.

Earlier than in years before a heat
ed local political campaign has been
inaugurated in Savannah. So violent
already had the difference between
the Citizens Club faction and the OPP
posing Peoples League faction become
that prediction Of serious trouble had
been freely made, and the shooting,
Friday afternoon was no surprise.
Though the election is yet many
months of, feeling had reached fe-
yer heat among those most actively
concerned.
On Thursday there was fight be-
tween the two Dyers and John Nun.
roe, driver of police patrol wagon,
and at times wholesale shooting at
fray WAS threatened. Several reyolv-
ers we're presented during that af-
fair, and it was believed that the
bloodshed that had been averted was
sure to follow in time. Friday NOM

is taking place, resulted in a fight
in which "Babe" Dyer was beaten
with a billy by Inspector McKenna,;
one Of the city employees, who has
been hanging about the polls to
watch the progress Of the e'registration.
The two Dyers had determined upon
vengeance. They knew that McKen--
na was expected at the city exchange
for the afternoons work and lay IN
wait for him. When he got OF the
car and was about to enter the build;

was then that Kearney went to Nc
