DEATH LIST IS PLATED At lA8
Bodies of Miners Killed in Prussian
Shaft Recovered.

Saarbruecken, Rhenish Prussia, Jan.
30.-An official report places the mum
Der Of dead in the Reden mine cXplo-
sion at 14S. of which sixty-two have
been brought out. Escaping gas from
the BldstoCk shaft was caught and
analysed by chemists and the result
showed that the fire was diminishing.
General Manager Won Velsen, with
$50 men, started into the mine to res
enc the eighty-six bodies still under,
ground. Two hours later the winding
machinery began to bring bodies rap
Aly TO the surface.
Stories told by some of the rescued
miners show a number Of ~hairbreadth
escapes. One man said:
I'VE were resting for breakfast,
when suddenly a rumbling sound was
heard. The foreman shouted: Every

HUNDREDS DIH IN PIT
EXPLOSION scATTERs DEATH IN
PRUSSlAN MINE.
Sevcnty.seven Bodies Taken Out and
Fifty.six CoTpses Known to Be I'm
der Ground-Second Explosion
Catches Reseuers.

Saarbruock, Rhenish Prussia, Jan.
ga iredamp explosion occurred
in the Reden coal mine at st. Jonann-
on.SIar, opposite S~aarbrdeck, and
caused the loss of from $50 to 200
lives. The mine is owned by the
Prussian government.
Seventy-seven bodies have been
brought out and Hfty-six corpses are
known to be under ground. Only fifty
live men have been brought out, and
of these the doctors say at least thir-
ty-five will die, as they are frightfully
injured through having been hurled
against the walls of the galleries by
the force of the explosion.
An official report says the number
Of dead cannot exceed 100.
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 resulting
from the explosion and by a fierce fire
that broke out Immediately after
wards. This caused efforts at rescue
to be suspended and the workers had
to be ordered out of the mine.
After all the resCuers had reached
daylight. according to ono version, a
second terrific defamation was heard
underground. But, according to an
other report, many of the rescuers
were still below when the second *
plosion occurred, and it is estimated
hat the casualty list from the two ex.
plosions reaches a total of 300.
1t is regarded as certain that the
lowest levels of the mines are com
pletely wrecked, and the inspectors
are celebrating upon further meas.
ures to get control Of the fire. The
managers are discussing the advisable
lty of flooding those levels as the only
means of extinguishing the flames. II
is believed that all the men who were
in the lower levels assurodly are
dead. It will take a full week to en-
ter and explore the mine.

Diaestible Food.

One of the biggest mistakes about
food which people make is to forget
that the true value of food to anybody
Is the measure of its digeStibility. Half
Il pound of cheese is vastly more nour
ishing as regards its mere composition
than half Il pound of beef, but while
the beef will he easily digested and
thus be of vast service to us the cheese
is put ont of court altogether for ordi-
nary folks by reason Of its indigesti'
bility. We should bear this rule in
mind when we hear people comparing
one food with another in respect to
their chemical value. - London IIospi'

About 1000 men were employed in
the burned building, which was five

quickly. all were able to get out safe

upper portion of the wall on Spring
Garden street fell and n fireman and
three wOrkmen were caught by the

only slight injuries. The fremen sue
ceeded in getting the flames under

Weston, w. Va, Jan. 2S.-District
Mine Inspector Barton took charge of
the situation at the mine OF the Penn
~sylvania Consolidated Coal company
and a searching investigation is being
made into the cause of the explosion
which killed twelve men Saturday. A
coroner's jury devoted the day to In.
vestigating the affair. The testimony
indicates criminal negligence on the
part of a miner. Several kegs OF pow
der were left at the bottom OF the

It is thought the powder must have
been ignited from a cigar or ashes in
the pipe of one OF the thirty miners
who were being carried up in the cage

Little Chance That Any Of Entombed
Men VIII Be Taken Out Alive--Res-

Charleston, w. Va, Jan. 30.-With a
defamation heard for miles and hurting
debris hundreds of feet in the air,
dust In the Stuart mine near Fayette-
Vile exploded, bringing a terrible
death 10 eighty or more men who were
OF work 500 feet below the surface.
There is no chance that any will be
taken out alive, for il is thought that
the terrific force of the explosion
snuned out their lives instantly. 1t
will not be possible for rescuers to
reach the bottom of the shaft for for
ty.eight hours.
The disaster is perhaps the worst,
IN the number OF killed, in the history
Of this state. Most of the men were
Americans and many OF them were
married and had large families. There
were a dozen or more colored mon and
about twenty aliens among the VIC
Tins.
The rescue work vas begun as soon
as the shaft house was repaired.
About two hours after the explosion

they will have air enough to survive
until the rescuers reach them.
