Benton, ILL.,, Nov. 6.-An explosion
at the mine of Colonel w. p. Bond,
10 miles west of Benton, wrecked the
main shaft, and as a result four shot
firers are entombed. WORD has just
reached here that the mine of Joseph
Letter of Zeigler, in Franklin county,
is on fire.
So terrific was the explosion that a
car and pieces of railroad track were
hurled from the bottom to the top Of
the shaft, more than 600 feet, demol-
ishing a steel tipple. 1t is impossible
to reach the firers, and their fate is
unknown. A large force Of men is
trying to clear away the wreckage,
but the work is proceeding slowly.
Unless the men are reached soon
they will suffocate. The names OF
the entombed miners are George
Reed, Patrick Daley, Perry Stevens
and John Holmes.
No workmen are in the Letter mine
at Zeigler, which is burning, but sew
eral mules are within. The main and

fort to smother the fire.

MARYLAND WILL
DIVIDE ITS VOTE
Leaders of Both Parties Claim Vic
Victory Will Be Very
Small.

New York, Nov. 6.-The member
ship of the electoral college which
will choose the next president CT the
United States remained in dispute
when the Official, counters in Mary
land abandoned their task for the
day. According to the best informa-
ton obtainable, the propcrtionate
numbers of Republican and Demo
cratic electors will be determined by
a division OF Maryland's eight votes
Half of the city of Baltimore and two
of the % counties outside of that city
are still to be counted, but there is
a strong indication that the states
vote will be split. In any event, the
margin of victory will be so small
that the state is claimed by the lead
ers CT both parties Though the split
ting of states electoral vote is un-
usual, it will be recalled that in 1904
Maryland elected one Republican ana
seven Democratic electors.
Missouri appears to be safely for
Taft, to whom the latest returns give
a plurality CT 2,371.
Concedipg Missouri to Taft, and
leaving Maryland to be split between
him and Bryan. the figures show 319
Republican electors assured and 156
Democratic
Latest congressional returns indi-
cate that the next congress will be
composed of PIC Republicans and ITS
Democrats, majority for the Repub-
licans of Al.
The returns for the Socialist and
Prohibition parties are still far from
complete, but indicate that the hopes
of the Socialists have not been real
lied, and that the Prohibitionists, in
certain sections where gains have
been expected, have been disap-
pointed The figures for the indie
pendence party vote are also INSULT
cient to give an accurate idea of
what the party accomplished
Outside of the returns, political in
terest was engaged in the exchange
of messages of congratulation and
thanks between Mr.. Taft and Mr..
Bryan; statement by Mr.. Bryan in
