DISASTER
IN MINE
THIRTY MEN DIE FROM
BLACK DAMP.
EXPLOSION OCCURES IN MINE
NEAR FAYETTE CITY,
PENNSYLVANIA.

Fayette City. Pa, Dec. 3.-Between
@entombed in the Naomi mine of the
United Coal company. located three
miles west Of this city, and there is
practically no hope that any of them
are alive. The imprisonment Is due to
an explosion of black damp about 8
O'Clock last night. soon after the night
force went to work.
1t is said miner entering an old
working with an open lamp caused the
explosion. Had the explosion occurred
on other than Sunday night more vic
tins would have been entombed. The
mine employed from 275 to 800 regu.
larly, about one-fourth of them driv-
ing entry at night, but on Sunday
nights only about one-half the night
force goes to work. The mine is of the
shaft type and the concrete sides of
the entry were broken down so as to
close the passage back a considerable
distance. About 100 feet from the en-
trance is located the first airshaft and
from this deadly gas is pouring in
great volumes. The gas found in mines
in this territory is SO poisonous that
no human being can live in 1t for more
than few minutes and it Is believed
none of the entombed men are still
alive. One man, an unidentified for
,eigner, managed to climb to the top of
the first airshaft, but dropped dead
there. No sign of life has come from
the others.
Just after the night force entered
the shaft there was a flash which
lighted up the mine and all around it.
There was a roar as tons of coal and
slate crashed down the entries crowded
with workmen. Then utter darkness
followed, the explosion putting out of
business the lighting and air facilities
in the mine. The mine Immediately
filled with gases and several persons
persisted while running to get into the
fresh air.
The shock of the explosion shook
buildings in Fayette City and could be
heard for miles, In the homes of min
ers the explosion fell like death sig
nal and emptied every miners cottage
in the Vicinity. The occupants of these

saddest picture in the scenes about the
mine this morning. The women and
children are crying and stare with
hope at the seemingly fruitless work
of rescue. The Naomi mine is one of
the Oldest operated by the United Coal
company, which has its principal office
in Pittsburg. 1t is one of the biggest
mines in the soft coal region and gave
work to 300 men all the year round.
The property loss will be enormous
as the mine was equipped at a cost
of thousands of dollars with all the
up-to-date mine apparatus, such as
electric lights, electric coal cars and
air ventilating system. The explosion
completely wrecked the air system and
that in itself means that no human
being can live long in the mine as it
now is. Thousands are fiocking to the
mine mouth, where every means
known to mine operation is being ex-
erted to reach the men. Aid has been
secured from Monongahela City, Bell
virton and other neighboring towns.

Hill Comment on New York.

New York, in the opinion of James

Railway company, has reached the
climax Of her supremacy. In an inter-
view Saturday the railroad builder of

reason being that this city can not
hope to maintain its commercial con-
troll when it's chief claim is, as he
stated it, that it is the dearest place
in which to do business.

cathedral at Winchester, England,
the excavators discovered some in
teresting relics of the Roman occu-

were unearthed. One piece was an
excellent specimen of pottery, intact
and in perfect preservation. The
lamps are of the type known as 1.-The

shape a gravy boat with a spout at
one end. from which the wick pro-
trudes, and handle at the other.
The vessels are made of iron and
though discolored with age are IN

On the seventeenth of May, 1859,
Denver turned out to welcome the

American pluck and daring, must be
forever linked with the fame of the

Red shirts drifted to the outskirts
of the hamlet and dotted the hills
around. Hard faced bartenders made
ready for the hottest night that ever
tore the camp loose" The artillery
of holster and saddle-boot was UNI
limhered for an ecstatic fusillade.
There was lively betting in dust and
nuggets that the first through stage
had been gathered in by Indians,
with takers as eager to stake their
faith that the scalps OF driver and
guard would come through intact.
At length swirl of dust showed
far down the trail. 1t grew into q
yellow cloud that crept toward the

BUFFALO BILL WILL NOT
PARADE

| n
HE WILL COMBINE HIMSELF TO GIVING
a PERFECT PERFORMANCE WITH
OCT a STREET PAGEANT.
The announcement is made that
Buffalo Bills Wild West will not give
street parade on the Cay of exhibit
ing in this city, There are several
reasons for this decision, but the prin-
clpal one is found in the fact that
horses and men give an improved per-
f'rmance wher they are not compelled
TO parade In the hot sun or disagreea
ele rain fora couple Of hours til
Furthermore advanced that delays In
transporting an organization of the
magnitude of Col. Cody's Wild West
often prevent the exhibition from ar
rving in town until late and the work
of transferring the paraphernalia 10
the show grounds requires the united
forces of the company in order that the
afternoon performance may not be de-
layed. 1t would seem in that event
that it would be more advisable to
care for proper presentation of the ex-
hibition rather than TO divide the
forces into parade groups and take
them away from the places where they
are the most needed. BY eliminating
the street cavalcade the riding stock
and performers are fresh for their i'm
portaat duty of giving a high class en-
tertainment, enlisting the best of their
ability and returning to the public the
full benefit of their talents to which
they are entitled. Still another factor
which has been considered by the man
agement is the inconvenience to the
merchants of the various cities visited
by Col. Cody and his cohorts. Street
traffic is delayed and business general
ly is diseommoded and upset. Munlci-
pl governments have in many cases
recognized this effect by either refusing
to give licenses for parades or by maxi
ing the tax prohibitive. Many other
reasons could be advanced, but 1t
seems the best established fact that
the public is more entitled to perfect
performance than they are to witness
street pageant. 1t must be remem per-
ed, however, that the movement Of
the paraherualia Of the Wild West ex-
hibitlon, from the train TO the grounds
will, OF itself. constitute parade Of
mors interest than any other organiza-
tion can offer. The engine and cars
used in "The Great Hold-Upp will pro-
coed through the streets, accompanied
by the real bandit hunters as an escort.
1t will constitute sight of much in
terest and one which has never before
been seen in this eountrp or any other
country, and will convince the public
that q parade such as usually has been
featured with exhibitions of this class
and magnitude is impossible. When
the weatssr permits Buffalo Bill will
drive through the principal streets pre-
ceding the performance, TO convince
the public by his appearance that the
old scout Is still in evidence, ready to
appesr III the saddle twice daily, and
at every performance given by Buffalo
Bill's Wild West.
