Bliss Electrical School Is Destroyed
by Flames at Washington.

Washington, Nov. T. About $50
students, clad only in their night
clothes, fled through smoke and flames
from the Bliss Electrical school,
which was burned to the ground Fri
day. The building, which was three
stories and of wood construction, was
located in North Takoma, sub
urb of the city. The fire caught from
a defective insulated wire in the
kitchen. All of the students in the
dormitories made their escape unin-
iured but lost most of their effects.
They were asleep in their rooms al
most half an hour after the fire start
ed, and many of them were forced to
jump from secondstory windows to
save their lives. The loss is estimated
at about 100000. The structure was
formerly known as the North Takoma
hotel, and had been used as school
about six weeks.

WOULD DUST BIG CHICAGO BANK.
Suit Filed in Milwaukee, Wis.,, by a
BondhoIder

Milwaukee, Nov. Z. - Suit to GUST
the Western Trust and Savings
bank of Chicago as trustee of the
$10,000,000 bond issue of the Chicago
& Milwaukee Electric Railroad Com
pany was begun Friday by Alexander
Beaubien, bondholder, who charges
that the trustees co-operated with Of
ficers of the company in "watering'
the company's bonds.
Mr.. Beaubien is unable to state the
exact amount of the alleged illegal
bond issue, but thinks that one-half
of the entire $1O,O0O,0OO worth Of
bonds were issued to cover property
valued at less than the required rs
per cent. of the par value of the
bonds. On the petition of the plain
tiff, Court Commissioner Hugh Ryan
had issued temporary injunction re-
straining the bank from acting as
trustee of the railroad company, or at
tempted to do so, pending the hear
ing before Judge Turner on Novem-
Der 21, on an order to show cause why
the injunction should not be made
permanent.

FOUR MINERS ENTOMBED
TERRIFIC EXPLOSION IN MINE
AT REND, ILL.
Shaft Is Wrecked and imprisoned
Men Are Found to Be Dead
Letters Mine Attire.

Rend, ILL.,, Nov. 7.-Searching par
ties of frantic miners who had been
working all night to reach four OF
their comrades entombed in mine
here Friday discovered that the men
whom they sought were dead, accord
ing to information which reached Col.
w. P. Rend, owner Of the mine, over
the long distance telephone. Col.
Rend was told that the would-be res
cuers had not yet abandoned their ef-
forts to reach the part Of the mine
in which the men had been last seen,
but was informed that they kept up
the search only in order that the bod
les might be recovered and carried to
the ground above, where the wives
and children of the two men were
hoping against hope.
An explosion, caused by the firing
of what is known by the miners as a
windy shot," was responsible for the
entombment of the men who have
been killed. These four men were
"shot-firers," their duty being to de-
tach the coal from the sides of the
shafts by explosives. When the de-
fective shot was fired the men were
in the mine, 1900 feet from the en-
trance to the air shaft. In other
parts of the mine at the time were
200 men.
When the defective shot was fired
it was followed by an avalanche of
coal, and deadly gases almost .imme
diately filled the underground cham
bers, from which the coal was being
taken.
There was rush for the shaft lead
ing to the air, in which men fought
frantically for safety, and then a
checking-up, which disclosed the fact
that four men were missing.
Meantime the noise of the explosion
had brought a crowd Of frightened
men and women to the mouth of the
pit, among them the wives and chill
dren of two of the buried men, Their
entreaties and the urgings of their
own relatives soon led the miners to
form rescuing party.
Four of them carefully re-entered
the mine, which they had every reason
to believe had now become a tomb,
and, driving out the noXious gases as
they proceeded, crept slowly toward
the spot where the shot-firers had
been.
