| MORE THAN one

Second Disaster Occurs in
West Virginia Mine.
HAD BEEN DECLARED SAFE

First Explosion Occurred Two Weeks
Ago and the Last Body Had Been
Recovered and State Officials Had
Inspected the colliery and Author
ICED Resumption Of Work-open
Lamp Believed to Be Cause.
Blueield, w. Va, Jan. 13.-Over one
hundred men persisted as the result
of a second explosion in the Lick
Branch mine at Switchback, where
fifty men were killed two weeks ago.
There were 300 men at work in the
colliery at the time of the disaster
and it is not definitely known how
many escaped. Rescue parties have
been unable to enter the mine on ac-
count of the intense heat.
The mine officials refuse to give an
estimate. of the number that may
have met death, but al the pit mouth
it is now believed that more than
one hundred have persisted. Fresh
air is being forced into the shaft by
way of the fan, which was not dam
aged.
While the officials cannot now sug-
gest cause for the explosion many
miners place the blame on some of
the foreign miners who may have en-
tered with an open lamp. 1t was
known that there was small guam

sidered probable that this may have
suddenly increased after the miners
began to work and that it was ig-
nited by an open lamp.
First Explosion on Dec. %.
On Dec. % last an explosion &C.
CURED in this mine, which, up to that
time, had been regarded as model
mine. On that occasion the cause
was not ascertained and the death
list reached fifty. The last body in
connection with that explosion was
brought to the surface only last Fri
day, after which the state mine in
spector declared that the mine was
again safe and that work could be re-
sumed. The majority of the miners
who were engaged to resume work at
the mine were Americans, with few
foreigners and some colored workers
as laborers. It was stated that the
mine was examined just before the
new shift went to work and that it
was reported to be perfectly safe. In
spite of this, however, soon after work
was begun the explosion occurred,
with a death list that will probably
far exceed that of the December ex-
plosion. .Ss
The mine is the property Of the
Pocahontas Consolidated Galleries
company and is situated in the Tug
River district, territory that until
the December explosion had been un-
usually free from gas.

Statement of Prussian Minister of
Finance.

Berlin, Jan. 13.-Baron Won Rhein-

finance, in introducing the Prussian
budget into the diet, said that the
business situation in Germany had
latterly grown worse. Agriculture, on

would probably affect the grain crop
adversely. The deficit in the budget
this year would be $44,0O0,000, even
after allowing for an increase in rev.

Southwestern States,
Louisville, Jan. 13.-The Central
and Southwestern states are expert
encing the first genuine cold weather
of the winter, with the prospects of
still lower temperatures. Sleet or
snow has occurred generally over the
district south of the Lake region, in
the Mississippi valley and the South
west. The temperature ranges from
8 to II above in Northern Texas and
Arkansas.
In Louisville the rain and sleet
turned to snow and was blown into
drifts by a biting north wind. The
coat of sleet on the streets gave un-
told inconvenience and was the cause
of many minor accidents. Trains
from every direction were from two
to four hours late.
