Trouble Over Anti-Pass.

The anti-pass JOINT committee may
have some trouble. Bills have been
introduced in the legislature following
the general plan of the national law
recently passed. These bills, one by
King of Polk in the senate, contains
long list of exceptions, almost iden-
teal with the national law. The ex-
captions to the law include employees
of railroads, surgeons, attorneys for
roads, caretakers of livestock, preach
ers, railroad Y. M. C. A. SECRETARIES
and many other classes engaged in
philanthropic work. The matter of
sitting out the exceptions or those who
may receive passes, is causing some
trouble. 1t is reported that Governor
Sheldon does not care to sign bill
that is not in strict accord with the
republican state platform. That plat
form makes no exceptions besides
bona fide employees of railroad COM
panies and their immediate families
and caretakers of live stock This ru-
NOR has caused the joint committee to
ponder deeply before acting.

Charleston, w. Va, January 18th

in the Stuart mine, near Fayetteville,
exploded this afternoon, bringing a
terrible death to eighty or more men

thought that the terrific force of the
explosion snuffed out their lives in

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 dozen or more colored men
and about twenty aliens among the
victims. The rescue work was begun
as soon as the shaft house was re-
paired. About two hours after the ex-
plosion three men were lowered into
the mine in an improvised bucket. Be-
fore being lowered sixty feet two were
overcome and the third was barely
able to give the signal to hoist.
Air was supplied to the mine by sew
eral large fans, but the mechanism
was damaged and the fans were idle
several hours. The fans have started
again, and if the men were not all
killed it may be they will have air
enough to survive until the rescuers
reach them.
The Stuart mine has only one open

to connect with parallel mine short
distance away.
No official announcement of the dis
aster or it's cause has as yet been
made by the officers of the company
