A rigid investigation is in progress in
Danville and elsewhere to determine
whether others have become similarly
affected. The officials believe that the
spread of the contagion will be check
ed, although admitting that the situa-

thorities.

KILLS MANY
Brooklyn Residents Hurled into Eternity by the
Ignition of an Accumulation of Gas.

New York, Nov. 20.-Twenty- five
persons are believed to have lost their
lives in an explosion of gas which tore
up a great section of Gold street,
Brooklyn, today. 1t is definitely known
that Is persons were buried under the
hundreds of tons of earth and timber
thrown into the air and 10 more are
reported as missing. The exact num-
Der of dead cannot be determined until
tomorrow, for those working to recov-
er the entombed bodies must dig
through so feet of dirt, rock and a
tangIe of pipes and timbers.
The explosion occurred in 5O-foot
deep excavation that had been made in
Gold street between York and Front
streets, where a water main was be-
ing laid. The gas main recently sprang
a leak and in a manner unknown a
spark came in contact with the escap-
ing gas. Immediately there was a
terrific explosion, which lifted the
surface for half block in both direc-
tions and shot dirt, paving stones and
debris into the air.
Gold street was crowded with school
children when the explosion occurred
and that scores were not killed or in
jured was remarkable. A woman and
three children were almost over the
excavation when the earth crumbled
under their feet and they were swept
down into the hole under tons of
wreckage. Two other children were on
the opposite of the street when the
sidewalk caved in and they lost their
lives.
When the smoke and dust cleared
away it was seen the street had been
opened from doorstep to doorstep over
an area for nearly a block. The loos-
ened earth and debris had fallen into
the excavation, burying the score of
laborers who were at work when the
accident happened. Great tongues of
flames shot from crevices and, besides,
geysers of water leaped into the air
from a water main that had been shat
tered by the explosion. Two bodies
were sticking out of the wreckage.
Samuel Trout, foreman of the gang
of laborers, was near the woman and
three children who lost their lives.
He rushed forward in an endeavor to
save them, but he too was thrown in
to the hole. His body was the first re-
covered. It had been roasted almost
to a cinder.
Only four of the men working in
the excavation escaped and their es-
cape was remarkable. They were Ar

NINE DISASTER
AT RED LODGE
Fire Breaks Out and Causes Horror Similar to
That Which Occurred in Year 1906.

only six missing, many of the res
cued men insisted that there were
more than that number still entomb-
ed.
There,wasfittle hope that the men
would be found alive, but that did
not halt the work in the slightest.
There was the fighting chance that
they might have survived in a man
ner that no one cared to predict.
The bare possibility threw all hesi-
tation, to the winds. y
Through the town during the day
and far into the night there ragged
intense excitement. The panic-strick-
en- women and children were with
difficulty controlled even by the
strong force Of deputy sheriffs that
was quickly called out and who
formed a Gordon around the staff of
the blazing mine.
Against the line Of officers half
craZed women, some with children
dragging at their skirts, hurled
themselves again and again, de-
manding to know if the one man in
each case had been found.
Some lines there would be a shrek
of joy when it was learned that he
had escaped. For others there was
no comfort.
When the word went forth that
70 men were entombed alive and the
mine on fire the scene which follow
ed can hardly be described, mothers,
fathers, sisters and brothers, sons
and daughters, rushed to the tunnel
and would have plunged in to try
and save their dear ones but for the
presence of Sheriff Bachelor and sew
eral deputies, who held them back.
The first impression was that
white damp had overcome the men,
and few, if any, would escape with
their lives. The first reports coming
from the bottom of the mine were
most sensational.
At late hour tonight at least 16
men are unconscious yet, and some
of the miners declared that there
are more than this number still en-
tombed in the mine. Until the fire
has again been safely walled up the
men will not return to work.
In all there were about 20 men
who were brought out in critical
condition from inhaling the gases.
Among them were Mine Foreman
Haggerty and John I. Flaherty, a
head tracklayer, and while badly
overcome they have practically re-
covered. Ed. Dean was brought out
in the most critical condition of any
of the miners rescued, but the ply
sicians are confident that he will re-
cover.
1t is estimated that at least 40
men were employed in this entry.
That it was not one of the most
appalling disasters in loss of life in
the mines of Eastern Montana was
due to the prompt action of mine
officials and the effective work Of
large number of miners who
promptly went to the rescue of
their fellow men when the fire was
discovered

WARM CAMPAIGN in CANADA
Liberals Ask Return to Complete
Development of the
Northwest

OTTAWA, Ont, Sept. 2l.-The announce
ment of the dissolution of parliament and
the general election on October 20, plunges
the country into the excitement of a politi-
cal campaign. Sir Wilfrid Laurier, the vet
eral head Of the liberal party is still the
foremost figure Of that element. while Rob-
ert Laird Borden is at the head of the con-
sentative ranks.
The liberals who have been in power for
the last twelve years, are appealing for a
renewal of confidence on the strength OF
their record and to enable them to complete
an ambitious program for the development
of the Canadian west. This includes the
construction of the national transcontinen
tai railway of which 666 miles have already
been constructed and the proposed Hudson
Bay railway.
Speaking during the fast week, Premier
Laurier announced as his platform the ac-
complishments of his government during
its tenure of office. the extraordinary de-
velopment of the country's resources dur
ing that period and the governments plans
for still further development in the future.
He said the country's exports had risen
from 81, in 1896, when the liberals
went into power to $263, 0OO,OO 100 in 1908. The
premier explained the financial relation OF
Of the government to the Grand Trunk Pa
cific Railway company, which is building
the national transcontinental. The claim has
been made that the railway will cost Can
ada $20O,OOO,OOO, but the premier says the
total cost to he government will not ex-
coed greatly $50, OOO, 1000, which is represented
by a seven-year lease given TO the company
to operate the road when completed.
TIL conservative party led by r. L. Bor-
den, member of Parliament, of Halifax, is
attacking the government on the ground
Of extravaganza and the corruption of pub
lie funds and untitled promises to the cleo
torate. The Tenth Canadian Parliament
elected four years ago and dissolved the
