Terrible Disaster, Involving Great Loss
OF Life, Occurs ut Coal Mine at
LEVIN, France.

Saarburck, Rhenish Prussia, Jan. Is.
A fire damp explosion occurred about
s o'clock this morning in the Bildstock
shaft of the Reden mine, at ST. johann
non-Darr, opposite this town. Up to 2
o'clock this afternoon the bodies OF 1854
dead miners had been taken out of the
mine, and II men dangerously injured
had been rescued and more than 100
miners were missing. There were about
900 men working in the shaft when the
explosion occurred but half OF them
were not in the galleries which were
wrecked. The rescue corps is working
desperately in Efforts to reach the men
and 1t is hoped that some OF them viii
BE- found alive. The scenes at the PIT
mouth, where the families OF the nliu-
ers gathered were most distressing.
The Reden mine ia owned by the Prus-
sian government.
An outbreak OF fire IN the REDEEM mine

still In the pit. The number of dead
is now estimated at 200.

Or. DoWie and Creditors Will be
Left 10 Fight Out the Cues

HE vii 60 TO PACIFIC COAST
Too Many Factions in Present Place
New Leader Looss for Success
In New Lands.

Chicago. Jan. 2S.--2ion City is to be
deserted by Wilbur Glenn Voliva and
all those over whom he holds sway, A
new Zion City is to be founded, prob
ably on the Pacific coast. and Dr.
Dowie and his creditors viii be left to
fight out tho question of supremacy
here
Rumors of such impending action
have circulated in Zion City ever since
last summer. when oyerseer John G.
speicher, was sent TO Los Angeles to
assume charge OF the various colonies
ON the Pacific coast II was said
Speicher was to select the site for the
new colony This was repeatedly de-
MED until yesterday, when the rumor
was confirmed by Noliva himself at a
meeting held in Zion temple
Within a few weeks Noliva viii go on
q trip of inspection, visiting all the
churches west and north OF here which
CLAIM him as leader. This viii include
a trip to the Pacific coast from Seattle,
Washington, to Los Angeles.
IT was practically admitted that on
this tourney he would view several
sites now under consideration. 1t is
probable that on the return trip Voiya
will visit certain sections of the gulf
coast of Texas, where the land and the
climate are similar TO that of southern
California
The reasons for abandoning the pres
ent Zion City We're not defined clearly
by Voliva IN his address but they are
known. nevertheless. The factions in
Zion is one of the great contributing
causes, and the other is the hopeless
ness of making the religious leader SUI
preme in both temporal and ecclesias-
teal affairs so long as the cloud hangs
over the place.
Not political but Christian social
ISM" has been the text of many of
Voliva's sermons. He believes such a
colony, founded in somt warm climate.
where fruit raising. truck gardening
and agriculture can be engaged in, will
insure success and 1t Is his purpose to
lead his people to hnd where this
can be done.

coroner insisted that as the shooting
occurred outside the government prop
