MOBILE PEOPLE CALM DOWN
Guilty Negroes Indicted and Will Be
Brought to Trial in
Few Days.

Mobile. Oct. 3.-Mobile passed a day
of great excitement after the incidents
of last night, when a mob went to the
county Jail to get the negro, Dick,
alias Cornelius Robinson, charged with
assault upon the little Sossoman girl
and some persons unknown fired guns
through the open gate at the Jail and
killed Special Deputy Roy Hoyle.
There is another negro in jail in Biz
mingham, Willie Thompson by name.
who probably would have been lynched
here about a month ago had the mob
been able to get hold of him.
TINS evening a meeting has held near
the Jail and a committee investigated
the Jail and reported that the negro
was not there. The crowd dispersed.
About the same hour the grand jury in
both negroes and set their trial, that
of Thompson for next wednesday.
and of Robinson for next Thursday.
This becoming known, had calming
effect upon the crowd.
A leading negro citizen, James I.
Peterson, today published an address
to the public, stating that the best ne
groes repudiated in the strongest man.
ner the awful crimes committed by
members of their race, and that they
will do all they can to bring criminals
to justice.
The reports first received of dam
age and loss of life on the lower coast
have been more than fulfilled by the
recent news.

WEST VIRGINIA
COAL Mine AF|RE
Seventy Men Imprisoned in the
Blazing Depths-Fire Fol-

Bluefields, w. Va, Oct. 3.-As the re-
the West Fork mines of the Pocahon-
tas Galleries company, where the ex-
pfosion OF 1902 occurred i'm which Su-
perintendent O'Mally and sixteen
others lost their lives, seventy five
men are supposed TO be entombed. Two
rescue parties have entered the mines.
and up to II o'clock tonight two men
named Dolbert and Godash have been
rescued and revived. The mine is re-
ported to be on fire, and the work of
rescue is retarded. The cause of the
explosion is not known. Great excite
ment prevails in the neighborhood OF
the mines. Crowds of men, women and
children remain about the drift mouth
anXiOuSly awaiting news of relatives
and friends among the missing.
The explosion took place in what is
known as the St. Paul entry of the
mine. Reports of the number OF en-
tombed men vary from sixty to 100
men. The lack of brattice cloth helps
to retard the rescue work. and a car
load of it is being hurried forward on
special train from Bluefields. The
definite results of the explosion will
not be known for perhaps twelve
hours.
The force of the explosion was hard
ly noticeable at the mines mouth as
the entry in which il occurred is two
and a half miles in the mountains. A
number of men in the south mine were
almost suffocated before they were
rescued
