COAL MINE DISASTER
over 500 LIVES DESTROYED
BY AN EXPLOSION.
Terrible Calamity in Coal Mine at
.MonongaheIa, w. Va.-Two' Elk
plosions in Different Mines at Same
Time From Cause Unknown-Prop-
erty Loss Over a Million Dollars.

Pittsburgh terrific and disastrous
explosion occurred Friday in mines
Nos. and 8, of the Consolidation
Coal company at Monongah, W. Va
Mine Superintendent Malon says al
least 500 men are entombed.
1t is believed a majority of the en-
tombed men were killed.
Mine No. is located on the east
side of the Monongahela river and
mine No. on the west side.
How the explosions, occurred stimuli
taneously in both mines can not be
explained.
The explosion was heard for eight
miles.
After the receipt of the news physi
clans and special cars were despatch
ed from Paramount to the scene. The
mine was too full of gas and smoke
for rescuers to enter.
1t is said the explosion started in
No. 6 and spread to No mine, the
two being connected.
Another special says the first ex-
plosion was followed by the blowing
up of boiler in No. 8.
Some idea of the force of the explo-
sion may be gained from the fact that
props from the mine were not only
blown out of the entry, but were
hurled clear across the west fork of
the Monongahela river. Wires are
down.
1t is feared that the accident will
turn out to be the worst in the his
tory of mining in this country.
superintendent Malon telephoned
that of the 500 men who we're in the
mine at the time he does fot think
any could escape with their lives
from the force of the explosion. The
fans were started to clear out the foul
air and the rescuers were expected
to reach the men by o'clock this aft
9rnoon. The management declares
that it must have been dust.
A hospital was arranged at the
opening of the mine, where the wound
I'd will receive attention. Several men
were practically blown out of mine
No. 8 through the force of the gas
explosion.
Possibly the largest coal-producing
mines in the state are located at
Aonongah. The mines are both shaft
md slope mines, being worked by the
'ope and haulage systems. They lie
IN both sides of the West Fork and
ire connected by steel pier bridge
'wned by the coal company. Until
bout 10 years ago only American
miners were employed. At that time
he miners of Pennsylvania, Illinois
nd Ohio were on a strike.
The coal company is one of the
argest companies of the kind in the
ountry and is capitalized at about
100000. They have upward of 100
reducing properties. Clarence w,
Watson is the president, with head
uarters in Baltimore. Superintend |
Mt Malon is said to be one of the
lost practical men in the mining in
ustry.

A small cottage house 25 feet wide
by 4S feet inches long is given In
this plan. It is built without an attic
which saves expense in roof construct
tion and the low roof design fits the
general style of the house better than
high roof could. 1t is small affair
when measured up against the ordi-
nary house, but it contains more room
and more convenience than'the ortho<

comfort.
A person never appreciates the value
of a good cellar until they leave one,
and go to live in a city fiat where you,
have no cellar except an ice box, and
no room to store a pint of cider or a
peck of potatoes. 1t is much better ar
ranged than a fiat because you have
light on all sides and the bedrooms, as
well as all other rooms, are light and
airy, great advantage in both comfort
and health. BE it ever so humble
there is no place like home" is senti-
ment that applies in a general way to
all small houses, but not especially to
this one because it is so attractive in
appearance, SO thoroughly well ar
ranged and so comfortable that the
humble features are lost sight of en-
tire1y.
There is a good deal in the shape of
the cellar. A good many cellars are
almost useless except to keep the
house up away from the ground, to
keep it dry and assist some in keeping
the lower floors warm Some cellars
are too dark and musty to be desirable
and great many cellars are too con-
temptibly dirty for any purpose what
ever. A good deal depends on the
