Three Die of Strange Disease.

Richmond, Va, Dec. 31.-Three
Of the five children of John Cole
man, who lives at Spottsylvania
Court House, who have been i'll of a
strange disease, have died, and the
other two are not expected to live.
The children became infected
through the presence in the Coleman
house Of a nephew from Phila4el-
phia, whose family recently lost five
children by what is believed to be
the same disease. Doctors in the
vicinity have been nonplussed.
A post mortem examination was
held over the bodies Of the children,
and the physicians came to the con-
clusion that their ailment was nei-
ther infectious nor contagious. The
peculiar circumstances surrounding
the illness lead many to be lieve that
the children contracted the disease
from the visitor.

Horror i'm the Coal Regions OF Vir-
ginia-Cause Not Known.

Roanoke, Va, Dec. 30.--Meager
news of coal mine disaster at Lick
Branch, Va, reached here last night.
Between forty and sixty men are
said to have been imprisoned, and
up to 6 O'Clock this evening rescuing
parties had been unable to go into
the shaft because of fire and smoke.
Lick Branch is the name of a coal
operation on the Pocahontas divis-
ion of the Norfolk and Western rail-
road, and is without commercial tel
egraph facilities. Because Of the iso-
lation of the scene of the reported
disaster, no particulars have been
learned here. ..,
Norfolk and Western headquarters
here say that, owing to the fact that
miners are taking a holiday this
week in large numbers, it Is not like
ly that more than fifty or sixty men
were at work in this particular mine
at the time Of the explosion, which
occurred about 4 o'clock in the af-
ternoon. 1t is stated that the Lick
Branch mine has a connection with
another mine on the other side Of
the mountain, and that it is possible
that this mine has been affected.
The cause Of the explosion has not
yet been determined, and cannot be
learned unlll an exploration can be
made

WOman'S Graphic STORY.

Catania, Dec. 29.-The following
graphic story is told by a woman,
who arrived here from Messina this
morning, badly injured:
Internal is the only word that
will adequately describe the fearful
and terrifying scene" she said.
when the first shock came, most
of the city was fast asleep. was
awakened by the rocking OF the
house. Windows swayed and ratified
and crockery and glass crashed to
the floor. The next moment I was
half stunned, but knew that the only
thing to do was to make my way out
doors. The streets were filled.
Everybody had rushed out in their
night clothes, Needless of the rain
falling in torrents. Terrified shrieks
arose from all sides, and We heard
heart-rending appeals for help from
the unfortunates pinned beneath the
ruins.
walls were tottering all around
us, and not one of our party ex-
pected to escape alive. My brothers
and sisters We're with me, and in Il
frenzy Of terror we groped our way
through the streets, holding our own
against the panic-stricken people,
clambering over piles Of ruins, until
we finally reached a place of COM
parative safety. But this was not
done before ! was struck down and
badly injured by piece Of furiture
that fell out Of the upper story Of
house.
'All along the road We were JOS
tied by fleeing people half clad, like
ourselves. The houses seemed to be
crashing to the ground in whatever
direction we turned.
Suddenly the sea began to pour
into the town. 1t seemed that this
must mean the end of everything.
The On-coming waters rolled in in
huge wave, accompanied by terri
flying roar.
''Thc sky was aglow with the re-
llection OF burning palaces and
other buildings, and as if this was
not enough, there suddorIy shot up
into the sky huge bust of flame,
followed by a crash that seemed to
shake the whole town. This proba-
bly, was the gas works blowing up
Eventually, We reached the prin-
cipal square of Mcssina. Here we
found two or three thousand utterly
h' rrificd people assembled. None Of
Us knew what to do. We waited in
agony Of fear. Men and women
prayed, groaned and shrieked. /

Coast Line Changed.
When day dawned the entire shore
line Of the surrounding country was
utterly changed in appearance.
The coast line was greatly al
tered, while of all the magnificent
houses along the shore only a few
tottering ruins remained From
these ruins from time to time there
sprang jets Of flame and smoke.
King Victor Emanuel and the
queen, who eft yesterday for the
scene of the disaster, have won the
hearts of their subjects by continu-
ing in this noble manner the tradi-
tions of the house of Savoy, which
makes the sovereign actually share
in all the sufferings of his people.
People with tears in their eyes
watched the departure OF the king
and queen, while veteran, pointing
to his majesty, said:
This is worthy Of the son of King
llumbert, who. / remember, risked
his life amid the ruins of Casa Mio-
ciola when it was destroyed by an
earthquake and stood at the death

in Naples amounted to a thousand

ed TO me that scores of persons were
lost consciousness and l remember
no more"
Refugees are pouring into Catania
by trains, steamers and automobiles.
They are half naked and stupefied
with terror and suffering. Some of
them appear almost insane from the
horrors through which they have
gone. In the beginning they could
only babble "Messina has been de-
vastated; the city has been annihi-
lated"
Little by little some idea of the
indescribable horror at Messina was
obtained from these unfortunates.
They declare that thousands of de-
mented survivors are still wander
ing about among the ruins of the
city. A wounded soldier said:
"The spectacle was terrifying be-
yond words. Dante's Inferno gives
you but faint idea as to what hap
pened yesterday morning at Messina.
The first shock came before the sun
had risen. 1t shook the city to it's
very foundations. Immediately the
houses began to crumble. Those of
us who were not killed at once made
our way over undulating floors to
the streets. Beams were crashing
down through the rooms and the
stairs were equally unsafe.
Il found the streets blocked by
fallen houses. Balconies, chimneys,
bell towers, entire walls had been
thrown down. From every side of
Of the wounded. The people were
half mad with excitement and fear.
Most of them had rushed out in their
night clothes. In little while we
were all shivering under torrential
downpour of rain. Everywhere
there were dead bodies nude, dis
figured and mutilated In the ruins
could see arms and legs moving
helplessly. From every quarter
came piteous appeals for aid.
"The portion Of the town near the
water was inundated by the tidal
wave. The water reached to the
shoulders of the fugitives and swept
them away. ~
THE City Hall, the Cathe dral and
the barracks crumbled, and other
public buildings and dwellings with
out number were literally razed to
the ground. There were two hun
drcd customs agents at the barracks;
only forty-one were saved. At the
railroad station only eight out of 2SO
employees have been accounted for.
Many Of those who succeeded in
escaping with their lives are inca
pable Of relating their experiences
coherently. I questioned all who
were in a condition to talk. Most OF
them told the same story. They said
the first thing they knew they were
thrown out Of bed, and amid crash
ing ceilings and falling furniture
managed to make their way to the
street. Then in the blackness Of
night and amid a pouring rain that
added to their horror and distress,
they rushed blindly away, amid the
crash of tumbling buildings and the
shrieks and groans of those buried
in the ruins. Many while trying to
escape were struck down by falling
balconies and masonry, and still
many others lost their reason and
are to-day wandering aimlessly in
the open fields outside he city or
up and down the ruined strets they
knew so we'll
