FLAMES START IN A TRIVIAL
MANNER AND coNFLAoRA-
TON FOLLOWS.
in mine AT CHERRY, ILL.
Few Escape, Even Heroes Who At.
tempt Rescue, Perishing - Shaft
Sealed Up and Hope for oc-
cupants Abandoned.

Laid, Illinois. - At least 400 lives
of miners were snuffed out here in
one of the worst mine horrors in years.
Twelve men have been taken from
the mine of the st. Paul Coal Com.
pany, which was set on fire by a
burning bale of hay in the mule
stable.
The men entombed number at least
$50 according to the estimates of the
mine officials, and that any can be res
cued is beyond all possibility. Last
night the shafts of the burning mine
were sealed in an effort to extinguish
the flames, but this proved futile and
if the workmen had any chance before
to preserve their lives before the
flames could be extinguished, their
hopes were sealed with the closing of
the shafts and the cutting off of fresh
air from the underground tunnel.
Cherry is a scene of grief and sor.
row. Women and children are moan
ing and crying in the streets. Many
wives whose husbands did not return
from the fiery tomb are crazed with
grief. Every family in the stricken
town has felt the blow of the calamity.
Fifty mules were destroyed. Though
estimates vary as to the number of
the men who had been burned in the
mine, officials of the company declare
that there could be no more than 25O
at work in the veins at the time the
fire originated.
Some of the miners, however, who
had left the shafts shortly before 1870
O'Clock, declare that there must have
been 400 or more of their co-workers
in the mine who never reached the
surface. Certain it is that less than
GO men came out of the mine after
the fire started, and of these, IL, in.
Guiding the rescuers, are dead. Though
fire is declared by experts to be con.
fined to a small part of the mine, and
not to have spread into the coal veins
below, smoke was pouring from the
mine at midnight.
