HUNDREDS KILLED
IN BLAZING MINE

YSZOVA, European Russia, July g.
The bodies of PA persons recovered
from the Rikovsky mine, which was
the scene of an explosion of gas yes
terday, were buried today.
Today the horror of the situation
was added to by fire, which broke out
this morning. 1t penetrated the inner
galleries. where $50 men were impris-
oned and made the efforts of the rescue
parties almost useless. In the distance
from behind heaps of fallen debris,
could be heard cries for help all day.
Fifty-three bodies had been taken out
today, all terribly mutilated. Some of
the men had been burned to death,
while the heads and limbs of others
had been torn off by the force of the
explosion. Seventy-five wounded also
were taken out and removed to hospi-
tails. OF these 10 succumbed during the
day and many others are in a precari-
GUS condition. Three women who
stood at the mouth of the pit and rec
ognized the bodies of their husbands
dropped from shock. A number of
others have gone mad.

Building a City
(From the Cofeyville Chronicle)

(From the Coffeyville Chronicle)
Just before Oklahoma and the
Indian Territory were admitted
as a state there was a great deal
Of talk in reference to the start.
ing Of town just over the state
line south of this city. No doubt
town would have sprung up
with the admission Of the state
had not it been for the prohibition
act. This town would have been
o. scattered, haphazard affair for
people would have gone there
and purchased ground and erect
cd buildings regardless Of streets
and this would have caused q
town without system All this
would have been done from the
standpoint of putting in saloons.
Owing to the way the state was
admitted, carrying with it liq'
uor prohibition clause, the talk
of a town starting over the line
was dropped. Since then, how
ever, the Etchen brothers of this
city purchased a large tract of
land and have plated it into a
townsite seeing many other feat
ures which would be the making
of a city, regardless of the fact
that statehood made Oklahoma
dry state. The new town is
being built on it's merits as a city
for business men, manufacturers
and professional men, ana for
men in every line of Legitimate
business, The town is possessed
of 80 many excellent features for
the building of city that its sue
cess is assured, however, a re.
submission of the prohibition
question to the volers Of the
state is being agitated END the
general opinion is that should it
come to a vote the prohibition
clause would he voted down.
In such an event South Coffey-
Vile would become one of the
most thriving border towns in
| the entire state if for no other
reason than for the fact that the
laws of the state would allow To-
cal option or govern the liquor
traffic by high license, a thing
which is advocated by those fa-
miliar with the slack way in
which the prohibition law is
handled in prohibition states.

GOVERNOR MAY
VETO THE BILL
STATED IN ATLANTA THAT HE
DOES NOT APPROVE THE
HOLDER BILL.

ATLANTA, Aug. 29-With the
compromise agreement in the senate
on cosvict measure, it develops that
the opposition to the Holder bill is
growing stronger and more aggressive
in its fight on a number of object
ionable features.
In connection with this development
it is openly stated by persons close
to Governor Smith that he will not
approve the Holder bill as it now
stands.
Friends Of the governor declare that
he objects strongly to many features
of the bill as it now is, and these OBJ
jections, with others, are, it is said,
weaving support from the Holder
bill.
1t was conceded to be possible that
the bill, slightly amended, would pass
the house, but it is claimed that it
has no earthly chance in the senate.
This fact is also being used with
telling effect against the measure, q The
usefulness of the house passing bill
that will not be acceptable to either
the senate or the governor is, it is
stated, appealing to many members,
who have been inclined to support
the measure

with the work of rehabilitating the
system and have already done a great
deal towards putting it in shape to
handle the business that may be
offered. BY direction Of the court We
will spend million dollars IN I'M

of these expenditures is at Tampa
where a half million will be spent in
the extension of our terminal facili-
ties. Our location there is right IN
the heart of the city and in order to
secure the immense advantages this
gave to us it was necessary to make
the expenditure named.

will be replaced with steel bridges
at a cost of 1925, 900; 10000 tons OF

STEAMERS
BRUNSWICK STEAMSHIP COM
PANY TO SOON INACCURATE
SERVICE.
Three Handsome Passenger Steamers,
II is Rumred, ,Will Be Put on
Run Between New York
and Brunswick.

While 1t is impossible to get the
report confirmed in this city, it is
being generally rumored that the
Brunswick Steamship company is
now preparing to put on passenger
service between Brunswick and New
York and that the company has re-
Gently made arrangements for two
handsome passenger ships, which will
be put on the run, together with the
steamer Brunswick, which is owned
by the company and is at present on
another run.
When the Bee Line took over the
New York Brunswick business Of the
Mallory line a few months ago, moth
ing was done about the passenger bus
mess, and since the withdrawal of
the Mallory line there has been no
service between this city and New
York.
The report is now current, however
that the company intends to give the
people of the south an excellent pas
senger service. According to the re-
port there win be a ship out of New
York for Brunswick every Friday ar
irving in this city Monday If the
travel is heavy enough to warrant it
an additional ship will be put on.
The service, it is understood, viii
begin during the middle of October
and after established will Re kept in
force the year around The Mallory
line formerly enjoyed a good passen-
ger business between New York and
this port, but when the Bee line sue
ceeded that line here it did not have
the necessary passenger ships to con
tinue the service.
1t is generally believed that the
report is true and that some definite
ammo uncement concerning the inaugu-
ration Of the service will be announc-
ed shortly.

BUILO LINE To

RuMoRED IN THAT CITY THAT
THE ROAD WILL LIKELY BE EX.
TENDED THERE SOON FROM
WAYCRCSS.

Is the A., B. & A. railroad socn to
start another extension?
According to reports in Valdosta
the line is figuring on entering that
city and may do so at an early date
The report is to the effect that the
line may be extended to Valdosta from
Waycross. The Valdosta Times has
heard this runner, and in its issue of
Friday appeared the following article:
There are persistent rumors that
Valdosta is going to get a new rail
road before very long from an en-
tirely new source 1t Is said that
there is a strong probability of the
A., b. & A. coming to this city from
Waycross, or rather a road that
would have very friendly connections
with the A, B. & A.
"A road is now under course of con
struction from Waycross toward
Nashville, Ga. 1t is said that that
road is to be detected to Milltown
and then brought on toward Valdosta.
This would open up excellent terri
tory to Naldosta and Waycross both
and would leave the field for an in
teresting fight by the two cities.
1T is also rumored that the proposed
line from here to MOultrie is net dead
and that it is likely to wake up to
full size existence at any time This
would be a splendid line of road and
could easily be supported by the ex-
cellent country through which it would
pass, to say nothing of the good con
nections that it could make at both
ends Of the line
