Thirteen Hurt In Crash.

Pittsburg, Pa.-The Atlantic Ex-
press. No. 8, eastbound on the Penn
sylvania Railroad, was wrecked few
minutes after It had left the Union
Station. A majority of the passen-
gers on two Pullman cars were in
jured-13 so seriously as to require
medical attention. The wreck was
caused by either a frozen switch or
a too hasty throwing of the switch,
II is said, with the result that two
Pullman cars were thrown from the
tracks and we're sidewiped by two
express cars.

400 MAY BE DEAD IN MINE DISASTER
Simultaneous Explosions in Two of Consolidation Goal

PROBABLY WORST IN COUNTRY'S HISTORY
Believed That None of Miners Will Be Found Alive
Explosion of Dust In One rline Followed by

sides of the West Fork River, at this
place, but merged in their under
ground workings by a heading and
on the surface by great steel tipple
and bridge.
The two mines regularly employ
1000 men. working in two shifts,
500 during the day and 500 during
the night, and the best Information
obtainable is that the entire day force
had gone to work and that oil were
caught. Within an hour after the
explosion relief parties, composed of
brave, experienced men, were at
work. Superintendent John Brannon,
of the shaft mine at No. s, headed
the first relief party. He had 10
men with him. Charles Price, one
of the men in that corps, was over
come by fire damp, and had to be
brought out. He narrowly escaped
with his life.
The deadly fire damp made it inn
possible to do much rescue work dur
Ing the day, especially at Mine No.
s, where the explosion had wrecked
the fan. Until another fan could be
brought from Shinnton, 12 miles
away, and put in working order, the

Blown Across River.
The demolished fan was one of
the best in the country 1t weighed
thousands of pounds, but the force of
the explosion was so terrific that
heavy pieces of the fan were hurled
across the river a distance of 400
feet. The engineer was killed and
his assistant seriously injured. Car
penters were at work all the after
noon replacing the brattices in the
leads off the mine 'entries so as to
open up an air course.

Driven Out BY Fire And Gas.

Fairmont, w. Va. (Special) -
Dread afterdamp. that most horrible
of all the foes which the miner must
face drove back the rescuing party
which for SO hours has been seeking
and removing the hundreds of dead
entombed in mines Nos. and s, of
the Fairmont Coal Company. To
add to the suspense and horror fire
broke out in Mine No. and the for
eigners fear the bodies of their dead
will be consumed. The panic-strick-
EN- people are kept back from the
mine by guards, while workmen with
lines of hose fight the flames. There
was danger of another explosion ow-
ing to the presence of the afterdamp.
AT late hour it is reported that the
fire Is under control. From 2
O'Clock picks and shovels were idle,
and work temporarily suspended.
Had the company so ordered the men
would have stuck to their picks until
they dropped over overcome, but the
officers did not so win IL. In their
eyes one single human life. even
though il be that of a Bohemian,
Hungarian of Slav, is of infinitely
more value than the bodies OF the
dead, however desirable it may be to
recover them for the last tender
glance of the women yet wailing
about the guard lines.
And SO, when in No. s Sunday the
afterdamp became so strong as to
imperil the life of any man who VEN
tured into the mine, and the flames
borke out, the officials. acting after
consultation with the state inspector,
called out the men in both mines,
boarded up the mouths of the pits,
and set to work, with the aid of the
most skilled knowledge obtainable
and the latest mechanical appliances
obtainable, to drive out the after
damp.

Stockholm (By Cable) Oscar H.,
king of Sweden, died at 80 o'clock
Sunday morning. The death of the
venerable monarch occurred in the
royal apartment of the palace, where,
surrounded by the members of his
family, including the aged Queen
Sophia and the Crown Prince, Oscar
Gustave, and high Minister of State,
the inevitable end had been awaited
while outside the palace great
crowds stood with bowed heads and
fearful eyes long after the announce
ment came of the death of their we'll
loved sovereign.
Gustave Adolphe, Duke of Verm-
land, eldest son of Oscar, has taken
the oath as successor to the throne.
The whole country is bowed with
grief, for King Oscar was something
more than a ruler of his people and
had endeared himself to them as an
intimate and personal friend. When
the flag on the palace was dipped to
halfmast there was a moan of an
guish from the assembled multitude
and many of them cried "Our dear
old King is Dead
I'VE declare upon oath that His
Majesty, King Oscar H., expired
peacefully at 80 o'clock Sunday
morning in the castle at Stockholm,
at the age of rs years 8 months II
days, as the result of calci6cation of
the cerebral and cardiac blood yes
seles. (Signed)
BERG,
"EDGREN,
"FLENSBURG."
The last hours of the expiring mon
arch were passed in Inconsistencies,
and up to the end he gave no sign
of recognizing those about him.
The Queen was grief-stricken because
he could not bid her farewell. All
through Saturday the King had re-
mained in a comatose condition. At
times there we're faint signs of con-
scious perceptions as the attending
physicians brought some temporary
relief to the patient sufferer.
