COAL MINE HOLOCAUST.

CHERRY, Illinois, November 15.-lt
is now estimated that there are not
less than four hundred miners entomb-
ed in the ST. Paul mine, which ex-
ploded last Saturday and then took
fire. None have been rescued yet, nor
have any bodies been recovered. The
mine is still on fire.
CHERRY, ILL.,, November 14.-One
of the worst coal mine disasters in
years occurred here yesterday, when
the st. Paul mine first exploded and
then took fire. A large force of
miners were at work in the various
galleries at the time of the disaster,
and very few of them were able to
reach the lifts and escape. More than
three hundred men are missing, and it
is believed that all of them have
persisted.
The scenes around the mouth of the
mine, where the wives and children Of
the imprisoned miners have gathered,
are hear-trending. At the present time
great volumes of smoke are rolling
from the pit, and it is impossible for
the rescuing parties to do anything to-
ward getting out any of the men yet
alive, so they are bending all their
work to extinguishing the blaze 1t
may be necessary to seal up the mine
and smother the fire in that way.
The explosion is thought to be due
to dust. The mines here are not sub
ject to gas.
