Disaster Occurs in PruSSian
Property, One Hundred
and Sixty Being Killed
Fatal Fire Damp Brings Death to
Throns of Workmen, the Poison
Gus Classes That Filled the
Chambers Hampering
Work of Rescuers.

Saarbruck.-A fire damp explosion
ccprred Monday morning in the
Reden coal mine at st. John-on-Star
pposite Saarbuck, and caused the
oss Of from $50 to 200 lives. The
mine is owned by the Prussian gov
eminent.
Seventy-seven bodies had been
broght out and fifty-six corpses are
known to be underground. Only fifty
live men have been brought out, and
OF these the doctors say at least thir-
ty-five will die, as they are fright
fully injured through having been
hurled against the walls of the CALLER
les by the force of the explosion.
An official report says the number
Of dead cannot exceed 160.
Immediately after the explosion res
cue workers we're hurried from all
the adjacent mines and boldly entered
he Reden shaft in great numbers.
The work of rescue has been greatly
hampered by the poisonous gases re-
sulting from the explosion and by a
fierce fire that broke out Immediately
afterward. This caused efforts at res
cue to be suspended, and the workers
had to be ordered out of the mine.
After all the rescuers had reached
daylight, according to one version, a
second terrific. defamation was heard
underground. But according to an
other report many of the rescuers
were still below when the second ex-
plosion occurred, and it is estimated
that the casualty list from the two ex-
plosions reaches total of 300 men.
1t is regarded as certain that the
lowest levels of the mine are COM
pletely wrecked, and the inspectors
are celebrating upon further meas
ures to get control of the fire. The |
managers are discussing the advisa.
bihty of flooding these levels as the
only means of extinguishing the
flames. 1t is believed that all the men
who were in the lower levels assured
y are dead. 1t will take a full week
70 enter and explore the mine.
