SUIT OF DISASTER IN WEST
VIRGINIA COLLlERY.
lESCUERS UNABLE TO ENTER NINE
FORCE OF EXPLOSION so GREAT
THAT ENTIRE INNER WORK.
INGS ARE WRECKED.

Charleston, w. Va, Jan. 31.-It Is
now stated that there were ninety
one men in the Stuart mine in Fayette
county, where an explosion of dust
occurred. 1t is not believed any of the
men will be taken out alive, the force
Of the explosion being so terrific as to
wreck the entire inner workings. So
far the cage in the mine has been
lowered 800 feet, or within $50 feet OF
the bottom. Repairing will have to be
done before the cage can be let en-
tirely down. The Stuart Colliery COM
pany has already received sixty cof-
fins and has ordered twenty-five more.
1t is thought that the mine Is on fire,
but this can not be determined until
later. The heat and smoke from the
shaft is intense and the men could not
be reached for day or SO If the shaft
was in working order.
Physicians were hurried to the
mine from this city and from the hos
pital at Hinton, but there is little for
them to do until the shaft has been
sufficiently cleared of gas to permit
the entry of rescuers. AS a precau-
tionary measure the air pumps are
being put in shape for effective serv-
ice before rescue party is sent down
into the mine.
The disaster is perhaps the worst,
in the number of killed, in the history
Of the state. Most Of the men were
Americans, many of whom were mar
ried and had large families. There
were dozen colored men and fifteen
or more aliens

worthy. attorney for William r. VIE
bolt, the wealthy merchant and board
of trade operator, has informed the
police that Wiebolt, who has been
missing for several days, had thrown
himself into the lake. His daughter,
who has also been missing, was said
by the attorney to be secluded with
friends In this city.
1t was claimed by the police that
Weibolt had set fire to a store which
he operated in the northern part of
the city and they have been looking
for him. According to Langworthy
Weibolt Jumped into Lake Michigan,
near Lincoln park, at about 9 o'clock
Saturday night. His daughter Mar
tha, between whom and her father
there existed strong attachment,
pleaded with her father to let her die
with him, but he refused and insisted
that she live to defend his memory.
According to the statement made by
Mr. Langworthy Wiebolt, before com.
mitting suicide, declared that he did
not attempt to burn his store, but
said that 1t was useless to attempt to
live it down.

Mysterious Death of Washington Wo-
man s.ad Child.
Washington, Jan. 31.-Washington
police officials are busy trying to solve
the mystery as to whether Mrs.
Amanda M Copley and her three
months-old baby, Ruth, who were
found dead in bed shortly after mid
night, were murdered or whether Mrs.
Copley shot the infant and then COM
mitted suicide. The latter theory is
The explanation given by the husband,
William G. Copley, clerk in the GEN.
sus office. who is held at the Ninth
precinct police station pending an in
vestigation. Lieutenant Fulvey, after
examining the wound which caused
Mrs. Copley's death, said that it would
have been next to impossible for the
woman to have inflicted the injury
herself.
Shortly after midnight Copley called
In DR.. John S. Dorsey, telling him that
his wife had attempted to commit sui
eide. When the physician arrived
both Mrs. Copley and the baby were
dead.
Mr.. and Mrs. Copley were married
in Iowa and until they came to Wash
ingtOn in 1902 resided at Walnut, near
Council Bluffs. Copley is thirty-five
years old. He was member of the
Thirty-fourth Iowa regiment and
served some time In the Philippines.
Mrs. COpley was twenty-nine years
old. Her maiden name was Amanda
M. Bunker. Both have relatives in
Iowa and Illinois.
AS the official investigation pro-
ceeds the belief gains ground that the
caso Is one of murder and suicide.

London, Jan. 31-There Is reason
to believe that the resignation Of Sir
Alexander Swettenham as governor of
Jamaica has been accepted, though
tho officials Of the foreign Office re-
fuse all information on the subject.
This official retlcence Is attributed to
a desire to complete arrangements for

is expected that the latter will leave
