with the showing made against the

tc the cold weather which kept the

work, while it did not materially af-

the Islanders were up against a good

broke out today in the Rikovsky mine
which yesterday was the scene of an ey-

OF life. The work of rescue and fighting
the fire is being conducted under the
greatest difficulties. over 200 men remain
down in the mine, shut in by falling earth
and their fate is unknown. one hundred
and sixty dead bodies already have been
brought out Many of the men were burned
to death while others had their heads and
limbs torn off by the force of the explo-
sion.
Seventy-five wounded were removed to
hospitals and of these ten already have
expired and many more are dying. 1t is
believed that the present known number
of dead will be increased by seventy-fve
The explosion occurred just after the
shift entered the mine. The last twenty
men Of the shift were still in the cage at
the bottom of the shaft and they were
drawn to the surface uninjured. Rescue
parties were al once organized and COM
menced to go down. Six Of the rescuers
were suffocated. but the others hravey
continued al work
In the meantime the 500 miners who had
gathered al the head OF the shaft became
so excited that the troops had to be sum
moned. They cleared the ground and to-
day allow only members OF the families
of victims TO come within their Gordon.
Heartrending scenes are witnessed as the
msngled bodies OF the dead men are
brought to the surface and given over to
the bereaved woman. Many OF the wounded
are quite mad from the shock, The cause

a young woman rush out from the hallway
leading TO the Tostma ster's office and fling
her arms around a tall man who had just
stepped up to the general delivery window.
The rush Of the young woman and the fling
of her arms around the tall mans neck
were accompanied by a glad cry that told
of a yearning heart.
r The young woman was Mrs. Emma Rey-

LETT her after a little domestic dispute.
Later the husband wrote to his wife's
brother asking for money. The brother i'm

tanning money would be awaiting Mr. Rey-

was despairiEg Mr.. Reynolds appeared.
He looked haggard and despondent. Those
who saw him say when the woman flung
her arms around his neck his face lighted
up wonderfully, He kissed her and then
they left the building together.
