over the little town OF Monongah to-
night. Imminent dangers OF an ex-
plosion 10 mine No. and fire in No.
compelled work to be suspended for
she night. Fifty-six hours mad
elapsed since the awful explosion.
and a majority Of bodies brought to
the surface were In terrible condi-
hon, necessitating almost immediate
burial. 1t is now believed that the
number OF dead will not be over 400.
A thorough investigation was begun
today, and 1t was discovered that
many miners, believed to have been
entombed, escaped, because they had
not gone to work Friday after Thurs
days holiday. A score or more OF
these men reported to the officials
during the past twenty-four hours.
Shortly after O'Clock this after.
noon fire broke out again In mine
No. 8, and the rescuers were at once
ordered to the surface.
Heart-rending scenes and incidents
crowded fast one on another, In this
sorely afflicted mining communit,
today. Funeral professions were ir
sight In all directions during the
entire day. On the way to the CEN
eIeries these solemn little professions
we're constantly going, and passing
vehicles, coming from the mines
laden with victims en- route to th,
morgue, there to be placed In casket,
and prepared for another series o

About twenty-five victims wer,
buried today in the three cemeterie
near the town. The services wer,
simple and brief, and except for TIL
grief OF the mourners, which a
times became almost frantic, wer
without special feature.
/ Several Of the services were inter
rupted by women fainting, causin
momentary excitement but this wa
soon dispelled.

RED MEN.

The Great Council ofthe United States
Improved Order of Red Men convened in
Norfolk yesterday in sixtieth annual ses-
sion with upward OF $50 delegates and
several thousand visitors.
Mayor Riddick welcomed the REQ
Men for the city and Past Great lnco-
houee John w. Cherry responded for the
Red Men of Norfolk and Virginia.
The council will be in session four
days. 1t has some important work be-
fore it, including the question of the es-
tablishment of permanent headquarters
for the Great Council, temporary head
quarters having up TO this time been
maintained in Chicago.
Louisville, KY, is making a great
fight for the permanent home or "long
house." Chicago and Washington are
also after it. The home will be an office
building, to cost between $500, 900 and
$3.50, 900.
Amendments prohibiting the admis-
sion of saloonkeepers and bartenders
from membership in the order in the
future, together with action on aproposed
new ceremony for the degree of Pocahon-
tas and a proposition to cooperate with
he fraternal beneficial societies of the

CANS WINS AGAIN.

Joe Cans, colored, of Baltimore, the
lightweight champion of the world, won
comparatively easy victory over James
Britt, the California pugilst, who recent
ly defeated Battling Nelson, at the ball
park at San Francisco yesterday after
noon.
For FIVE rounds Cans showed that he
was easily the master. He ouLpointed
and outfought Britt at all stages, and
when the bell for the sixth round rang
the Californian declined to go on, declar-
ing that his left arm had been broken by
coming in contact with Gsns's elbow in
the previous round. Referee Jack
Welsh, after examining Britt, turned to
Cans and said, "You win."
The betting was 10 to Z in favor OF
Cans, with large amount of Britt money
in evidence. The fight, while it listed,
was slugging match, but it was evident
to every trained observer that Britt had
no chance to win from the negro. For
the first time in his life Britt was out
matched.

homes of their parents near York.
Tommy and Isabelle had been reared on
adjoining farms. A few weeks ago they
ran away from home and attempted to
get married, but we're refused license
on account of their youth. Their
parents learned of the escapade and re-
fused to allow Tommy to see Isabelle
again. But Tommy managed to see the

of carbolic acid. Both agreed to take it
at the same time, if an appeal failed.

enveloped every stairway, eight work
men persisted and thirty others were
probably fatally burned today in fire
which practically destroyed steam mill
at Raal, Hungary. The mill was crowd
ed when the flames were discovered.
Many we're on upper floors. A few
managed to get down the blazing stair
ways. A rush was made for huge fire
escape on the side of the building.
Under the weight of the frightened men
it collapsed. Several of the dead were
taken from the ruins of the fire escape
and many of the most seriously injured
were hurt in the fall. 1t is believed the
mill was set on fire by strikers.

SIZE STRANGE Scene IN 81.

A remarkable mirage appeared over
Winchester Sunday evening between 8
and seven O'Clock. In the northeast
appeared dark streak, resembling the
outlines of a hill, and above this cloud
yas another bearing a distinct resem-
biance to two goldiers marching abreast.
One, according to some observers, wore
q Russian uniform, with drawn sabeF
in his right hand, and the other was at
tired "a United States soldier, with
sab5r by his side. So unique was the
vision that many who watched it were
superstiiious regarding it, declaring that
it was an omen OF divine origin.
