OUT INSTANTLY
Four Score Men Killed in the
Stuart Mine Near Fayette-
vile, w. Va.
MOST OF THEM AMERICANS
HORROR CAUSED BY DUST Elk
PLOSIoN.

charleston, W. Vt, Jan 29.-With de-
tcnation heard for miles and hurting
debris hundreds of feet in the air, dust
IN the Stuart mine near Fayetteville ex-
ploded this afternoon. bringing terrible
death 20 eighty or more men who were
at work 800 feet below the surface. There
- no chance that any will be taken eiit
awe, Tor II is thought that the terrific
iorce OF the explosion snuffed out their
lVeS instantly. Ii will not be possible for
rescuers TO reach the bottom of the shaft
Tor forty-eight hours.
The disaster is perhaps the worst in
the number OF killed, i'm the history OF
this state. Most OF the men were Ameri-
cans 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 soon as the shaft
house could be repaired.
Foul Air Prevented Rescue.
About two hours after the explosion

/ signal 10 hoist Further attempts were

/ but the mechanism was damaged and the
1 fans were idle for about two hours. The
/ fans have been started again and if the
men were not all killed It may be that
! they will have air enough 10 survive until
the rescuers reach them. The Stuart miro
! has only one opening although an entry

/ has three compartments, two for the
| cages and one for air. Smoke and dust
poured into the airshaft for hundreds Of
feet from the ventilating compartment,
and it was wrecked

1T is stated that nearly all the men were

the disaster or its cause has yet been
/ made by the officers of the company.
! That dust caused the explosion is stated

regarded by the Aero Club as by far
the best bahoon centre, in spite of
the facilities extended to the club at

make five asceBsions from Pittsfeld

may become an accredited pilot of
the Aero Club before he goes abroad
to take a course of instruction under
French experts for the International
Cup race from st. Louis.
Cortland Field Bishop, president
of the Aero Club, received word yes
terday from Frank S. Lahm, the
clubs foreign representative, that
Italy is anxious to enter Usuelli, its
greatest aeronaut, in the Internation-
al Cup race, but as the limit for en-
tries has expired it is regarded as
doubtful whether it will be accepted.
