800 Men May Be Dead In Two Explo-
sions In Prussian Colliery.
Saarbrueck, Rhenish Prussia, Jan. 8.
A fire damp explosion occurred in
the REDEEM coal mine at st. Johann
On-Saar. opposite Saarbrueck, and
caused a loss of from $50 to 200 lives.
The Reden mine is owned by the Prus-
sian government.
Immediately after the explosion res
cue workers were hurried from all the
adjacent mines and boldly entered the
Reden shaft in great numbers. The
work of rescue has been greatly ham
pered by the poisonous gases result
ing from the explosion and by fierce
fire that broke out Immediately after
wards. During the afternoon the eff
forts at rescue had to be suspended
for these reasons, and the rescue work
ers had to be ordered out Of the
mine.
After all the rescuers had reached
daylight, according to one version, a
second terrific defamation was heard
underground. But according to another
report, many of the rescuers were still
below when the second explosion oc-
Cured. and it is estimated that the
casualty list from the two explosions
reaches a total of 300 men.

Charleston, W. Va, Jan. 30.-There
are at least so or so persons dead as
a result of an explosion in the Stuart
mine. near Fayetteville, in Fayette
county, according to the last reports

The explosion was caused by dust
in the mine. Every effort is being
made to get to the men who are en-
tombed, but there is little hope that
any of them are a We.
At the time of the explosion there
were about 200 men in the shaft, and
there is grave apprehension that a
great many of them were in the mine
when the explosion occurred. A list of
the dead is now being compiled, and it
will include at least the number men
toned. Organized effort is being made
to get to the men in the mine, and vol
