If you feel like emulating Sherlock

when you see some one run for street

You will see one fellow dash easily
toward the car with a long. swinging
stride that usually means athletics, but
no special training in the sprint. The

out by the way he throws his knees In

has robbed them of wind and waist.
Others are getting more than their

that manage to show you that they are
not out Of it by any means. To that
type it is a veritable triumph to over
haul a moving car and to swing on
without the assistance of the conduc-

Blowing in the yule from the grim

while yet the people were at breakfast,
the town band climbed the many steep
ladders to the top of the tower, and
up there, in fair weather or foul-and
sometimes it blew great guns from the
wintry sea-they played four old
hymns, one TO each corner of the COM
pass, so that no one was forgotten.
They always began with Luthers

There was something both weird and

NINE BLAST KILLS 100;
TWO Weeks TOLL $50
Disaster Is in Same Shaft Where
Fifty Met Death on Decem-
Der rs Last.
CALLED SAFE BY EXPERTS.
Explosion Near Bluefeld, w. Va,
Hurts Cars from Workings
and Traps Victims.

More than 100 men were killed Tues
day in an explosion in the Lick Branch
mine near Bluefeld, w Va. the scene
of a disaster only fifteen days ago, in
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 at work.
The force of the explosion was ter
rific 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 the force of the conclusion, and
from the mine mouth beiched forth a
cloud of flame, SCOT, dust and debris,
heavy timbers, broken mine cars and
even a massive motor used 20 haul the
heayy-laden cars.
1t 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 to
pieces and others moderated beyond
doubt. The fans which furnish the
fresh air of the workings, as in the
former explosion. were not disabled,
but are forcing fresh air into the
mines
Mine Foreman Bowers, who was near
the entrance, was blown from his feet,
but managed to crawl out safely, as
did also Robert Smith, a miner. With
the foreman was miner named Hol-
liday, and he, too, was blown over.
A rescue party, organized on the mo.
ment, rushed into the smoking mine
and tried to rescue him. They were
driven back by the deadly fumes of
the after gases, and were compelled to
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
the most disastrous since The mine
is owned by the Pocahontas CONSOLE
dated Galleries Company.
The explosion was in a different part
Of the mine from that of two weeks
before. Since that catastrophe the mine
mas been inspected by government Off
Gals and by the most experienced mine
men in the region, and all, it is said,
expressed the opinion that it was safe.
1t was on Dec % last that the for
mer explosion occurred in this mine,
which up to that time had been re-
garded as model mine. On that oc-
casion the cause was not ascertained
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 mine
inspector declared that the mine again
was safe and that work could be re-
Sumed.
