100 MINERS
KILLED
TERRIBLE EXPLOSION
IN DEEP COAL MINE.
MARIANA, PA, SCENE WAS TER.
RIBLE TO BEHOLD BY
SURVIVORS.

More than 100 men were killed by an
explosion in the Mariana (Pa.) mines Of
the Pittsburg- Buffalo Coal company re-
Gently, which entombed large number
Of miners.
The officials of the company assert
that the number of men entombed will
not exceed 1875, while others about the
scene say larger number were in the
mine when the explosion occurred.
About so of the victims, it is re-
ported about the mine, were either
American or English-speaking men. A
majority of the foreigners were COM
paratively new arrivals, many of them
having left families in their old homes
Steps have already been taken for
the relief of dependents of the victims
Subscription lists have been opened by
charitable organizations and newspa-
pers. The loss of property will be
heavy.
Inspection Was Completed.
The workings in which the catas
trophe occurred are known as the Rachel
and the Agnes mines, in reality double
mine, with underground connections.
Construction work was practically fin
ished and Deputy State Mine Inspector
Henry Louttit, few minutes before the
explosion, had completed two days
inspection, which had revealed no cause
for apprehension.
So great was the force Of the explo
sion that shattered portions of the
woodwork about the mouth of the
shaft were blown into Ten Mile creek,
1000 feet away,
Mine Belches Smoke.
Immediately following the explosion
a dense column of smoke issued from
the shaft and it was feared fierce fire
was raging at the bottom of the mine.
A short time afterward the smoke al
most ceased.
Rescue work was started Immediately,
Inspector Louttit assuming charge, but
it was impossible to gain entrance to
the mine for long time. The opening
of the shaft was the only solution, and
LOT ILLS TASK IneTe were volunteers In
numbers sufficient to work short relays
Of as many men as could find room for
operation.
Two Theories of Cause.
The noise of the explosion was an
ominous summons to all the people of
the town and they hurried to the shaft
house.
The cause of the explosion has not
been determined. Two theories are
entertained: One is that pocket of
gas was struck by one of the miners,
quickly filling the workings and then
igniting from lamp. The other theory
is that gas from a well on the farm
under which the mine is located pene-
trated the workings. The land in the
vicinity is said to be gaseous and it is
possible gas may have seeped through
the coal stratum until it accumulated
in sufficient volume to cause the dis

THE DYING SUMMER.

The summer Is dying in peace and in beauty,
Long past her empests, her flowers still bloomI
Her fierce heats over and fond regrets signing,
Are waiting her gently toward autumns tomb
Her arrogant youth, with its tropical passion
Grim time has subdued with a touch of his hand;
The peace of her passing lies gently upon her.
And her seasons frultion blesses the land
The suns glowing ardor her daytime still brightens,
AS though he would her TO young life again.
And warmly she clings to his passionate kisses,
As though she dreading partng's pain.
But then the cool starry nights with soothing
To dry her tears in their infinite calm
And soothe her to sleep in the crystalline moonlight
Luled by the fragrant breeze laden with balm.
And yet nature weeps not the death of the summer
But spreads q bier royal BETTING queen,
With colOrs most gorgeous to usher her spirit
From earth to that mystical region
In she has reigned, and In pomp is her passing
The bleak desoation of winters ahead
But summer will sink to rest dying in glory,
A pail of magnihcence her spread.
