CALLED SAFE By EXPERTS
Explosion Near Blrehela. ". Va,
Hurls Cars from Workings
and Traps Victims.

More than 100 men were killed Tues
siay IN IN explosion In the Lick Branch
mine near Blueleia. W. Va, the scene
of q disaster only fifteen days ago. ia
which fifty lives were lost. How this
accident was caused is not known. as
experts had just finished an inspection
OF the workings and declared them
safe. Nearly all the victims this time
were Americans. The explosion hap
pened at $50 o'clock In the morning.
while the entire day shift was nj work.
The force Of the explosion was ter
rihc and the shock was felt far from
the scene. Above the tons Of earth and
stone between the workings and the
mountains crown great trees shook
from b force of the conclusion, and
from the mine mouth belched forth a
Cloud of fame. SCOT. dust and debris.
heavy tinhers. broken mine cars and
even a massive motor used to haul the
heayy-laGen cars.
Ii Is certain that the number OF men
entombed is more than 100 That ali
OF them are dead there can be no
doubt. The FIRE in the mine and the
deadly gases, TO say nothing Of the
awful force of the explosion. precludes
any chance OF rescuing any of the men
alive. 1t IS reasonably certain that
some Of the bodies never will be re-
covered. Some Of them were blown 10
pieces and others incinerated beyond
u The fans which furnish the
fresh air OF the workings. as in the
orner explosion, were not disabled.
but are forcing fresh air into the
mines.
Nine Foreman Bowers, who was near
the entrance, was blown from his feet.
but managed to crawl safely. Is
did also Robert Smith. a miner. With
the foreman was a miner named Hol-
llday. and he. too. was blown over.
A rescue party. organized on the mo
ment, rushed into the smoking mine
n tried to rescue him. They were
driven back by the deadly fumes of
the after gases. and were compelled 10
leave him to his fate.
The explosion was one OF the worst
ever known in that region. In 1884.
At the South West Virginia Improve
ment Company's mine, 800 were killed
IN an explosion. Tuesdays horror Is
b most disastrous since. The mine
IL owned by the Pocahontas Consoli-
dated Galleries Company.
The explosion was in a different part

1t was on Dec. % last that the for
mer explosion occurred in this mine
which up TO that time had been re-
garded as a model mine. On that oc
casion the cause was not ascertalned
and the death list reached fifty. The
last body IN connection with that ex
plosion was brought to the surface only
last Friday. after which the State Minis
inspector declared that the mine agar
was safe and that work could be re
sumed.

"A Gentleman From Mississippi"
by VIM. A. Brady and Jos. F. Girls
mer. This Is formed upon the play Of
the same name by Harrison Rhodes
and Thomas A. Wise, and Is illustrat-
ed by photographs. II tells Of the
honest old senator from the south,
whom the Washington sharpers
choose as a likely tool TO further their
schemes. Senator Langdon, however,
with the help Of his secretary, proves
too keen for them, and their plots are
foiled. The scheme centers about the
establishment OF a naval station on
the southern coast and the choice be-
tween Gulf City and Altacoola. and
the senator's two daughters together
with their lovers add excitement TO
the developments. Both daughters
are beautiful, one is endowed with all
the virtues. the other Is at first
treacherous then loyal, but altogether
unreal The senator is very inter
esting character. The book Is worth
careful reading.
