THREE KILLED AND TWO HURT IN MINE Explosion Early Yesterday
 Morning in No. Z ENSLEYS SUNDAY SERVIC s No Revival Meeting Will Be Held at Cumberland Church Tonight, But Two Meetings Will Be Held
 Tomorrow.
ENSLEYS SUNDAY SERVIC s

Ensey, October 4-(Specal.)-A serious mine explosion occurred about 6:30 this morning at No. [ mine of the Tennes- see Coal, Iron and Railroad company at Pratt City, in which George Howard, fire boss; Mix Nicola, an Italian miner and John Williams, a negro, were killed and two other men seriously hurt. The cause of the explosion could not be ascertained; but is supposed to have been caused by a pocket of gas. Great excitement prevailed around the mines as 1t was thought the day force had gone to work, which fortunately was not the case, otherwise the list of dead and in- jured would have been appalling.
 A large crowd gathered at the mouth of the mine, and willing hands went to the rescue of the injured and in short time had rescued the two men who were injured, but alive The others were fur ther down the mine and when found were dead. While they were severely burned, 1t is thought they died from the effects of the deadly afterdamp.
 George Howard is well known in this district and was considered a very com petent man in his line of work and has resided in Pratt City for number of years He leaves d wife and five chill dren, the oldest about 14 years. His re- mains were taken to the undertaking es- tablishment of Echols and Angwin, and prepared for burial. He was a member of the Red Men and Odd Fellows, who will probably conduct the funeral exer- cises.
 The other two men who were killed were taken in charge by Undertaken Sam Foley of Pratt City. The injured men were taken to their homes and will proh- ably recover.

Chief Mine Inspector.

Chief Mine Inspector Gray was notified immediately of the accident. Assistant Mine Inspector James Hillhouse was early on the scene and assisted in the work of rescue and F. J. Rogers, mine superin- tendent, was also present.
 No. mine has been in operation about Is years and was always considered a safe mine In fact. very few accidents have occurred at this mine. Mathew Wal ker, mine foreman in charge, is man of much experience and is known to be a competent and efficient foreman.
 Much excitement prevailed throughout the day in Pratt City and vicinity. and many exaggerated reports as to the ex- tent of the accident were afioat and large numbers of the wives of the miners as- sembled throughout the day.
 A prominent official of the Tennessee Coal Iron and Railroad company stated that the mine was not materially damaged and would be ready for operation to- morrow.

FIELD LOVES THE SPORT

Selma October 4.-(Special. )-Pas- senger train No. 21, due in Selma at 4;25 a. m. from Birmingham, en route to Mobile, did not reach the city until late this evening. The delay was caused by a trestle burning near Tur- ners, small station just north of Gurnee Junction, between Wilton and Birmingham. The trestle is twenty seven miles from Birmingham and was discovered on fire when the train ap- preached 1t.
 The delay will likely make No. 22. which is due to arrive at l a. m. to- morrow morning, late in returning.
 Divisions Consolidate.
 It is reported that on October 10 the Selma and the Mobile divisions will be consolidated, one superintendent be- ing given charge of both divisions as was formerly the case. The Southern has lately been consolidating the divis- ions that were separated last January, the latter course not being found satis- factory. Who will be given charge of this division is not stated but it Is sincerely hoped by his host of friends
  tained. MT. Stanfill has endeavored to give the patrons of the road all pos sible conveniences and as good service as possible, and has made large circle of friends.
 No Action Taken.
 A large attendance was present last night at the First Baptist church, it being understood that the question of individual communion was to come up. The matter was thoroughly discussed by different members and quite an in- tcrest was manifested. NO definite ac- tion was taken, but the matter was postponed to the first Thursday night in November when 1t Is expected to be brought up again. It is understood that the congregation favors the change.
 Trap Shoot for Al. Field.
 Last year, upon the occasion of the visit of Al Fields minstrels to Selma number of nimrods of the city went out to the park and enjoyed an aft ernoon of shooting at blue rocks. A letter from MT. Field today from Jackson to a Selma friend asks If pos sible that the entertainment be re- peated this year. and several members of the Selma Gun club have signified their willingness to participate in sh oot complimentary to the big min strel man tomorrow afternoon at the club grounds. The shoot will take place about o'clock. MT. Field is quite a hunter and takes pride in several very handsome fowling pieces and guns.
