SEVEN DEAD IN EXPLOSION.
IGNITION OF GAS SUPPOSED TO
HAVE FIRED BLAST.
Accident in the Rolling Mill Mine Of
the Cambria Steel Company at
Johnstown, Pa.
.Tohnstown, Pa, Oct. 2s.-By an q.

.lonnstoWn, Pa, Oct. 26.-By an ex-
a in the mine of the Cambria
,el company here Wednesday seven
men are reported to be dead and two
painfully but not fatally burned.
The explosion is thought to have
been caused by the ignition of gas in
setting off of blast. Most Of the vic
tins are foreigners. The explosion
occurred in heading three miles
from the houth of the mine shaft.
An official statement given out by
the manager of the Cambria Steel
company, says:
by an explosion in the Rolling Mill
mine of the Cambria Steel company
Wednesday evening seven men are
dead and two are painfully but not
fatally injured. Up to the present
only one of the dead has been identi-
fed. He is an American born miner
named Sampson Luther. 1t 10 believ-
ed the other dead are all foreigners,
as are the two injured. The wounds
of the latter consist of burns on the
face, back and arms, lacerated
wounds Of the scalp and other parts
of the body.
The explosion took place in head
ing No. 30, considerable distance
from the Inflated Klondike section,
where ia men lost their lives over
four years ago. The exact cause 10
not known, but 1t is supposed that
the gas was fred by the putting OF
of blast. All the men when found
had their safety lamps in proper trim,
showing that the accident could not
have been caused by neglect in that
direction. No damage whatever was
done to the workings, and the mine
will run as usual"
The two men injured in the explo-
sion are doing well at the Cambria
hospital and no more deaths are ex-
pected. Thursday was spent by the
officials of the mine and the mine in
spector of the district, Josiah T..
Evans, in investigating the disaster.
Up to the present everything points to
the fact that the explosion resulted
from the igniting of pocket of gas
through firing shot by Sampson
Louther.

Auditor of State Carroll has writ

insurance affairs-one to the depart
ment of insurance OF New York and
the other to the officers OF the New

The first letter INFORMS the depart.
ment that some one ia sending letters
Into Iowa aligned by prominent busi-
ness men of Des Moines, urging the
recipient policy holders to vote for
the candidates for director Endorsed
by the directors of the company, and
TO vote against the candidates for
director proposed by the policy hold
ers' committee.
The second letter makes inquiry Of
the officers Of the New Yerk company
If they are sending out the letters re-
tsTFsd ia and at their own expense,
It IS Auditor Garroll's idea that the
insurance company has no lawful
right to be using its funds to send out
such letters and that II the insurance
department knew the company was
doing 1t something would happen In
New York. He regards the letter rs
absolutely unfair.

TWO SUITS BROUGHT
Against the City On Account
of High Water Last Week.

j. E. Mabry, proprietor of a livery
stable on the river bank, fronting on
Elm street. has sued the city of Hop
kinsville for 81 900 damages because
water ran into his stable during the
heavy rain last week, which was so
heavy that some business houses on
Main street had water to run into
them. He claims that the grading
of Elm street was made so high that
it causes water to run through the
stable. The stable is on very low
ground, with no sidewalk in front
high enough to keep out the water.
M. E. Nolen, who had some salt
stored in the stable, has also brought
suit for $61.75, for AZ barrels of salt
alleged to have been ruined.
