Explosion in Shaft.
INHALE THE DEADLY GAS

Superintendent and Volunteer Rescuer
Descend Into colliery, but Are Near

When Restored to Consciousness
They Reported No Possibility That
Any of Entombed Men Escaped.
Birmingham, Ala, April 22.-Not
one of the forty-one men imprisoned
by the explosion in the Mulga mine
of the Birmingham Iron and Coal COM
pany is alive.
This was the word brought to the
surface to the waiting and weeping
families of the victims when, uncon-
scious from the deadly gases of the
shaft, Superintendent Johns of the
mine and man named Bonds, vol
unteer who risked his life for those
already perished, were drawn up to
fresh air.
The condition of the rescuers told
the story long before the men had
been revived. The watchers knew that
If the rescuers, helmeted and protect
ed, had so narrowly escaped death
there was no hope for the workers
who, without a seconds warning, had
been entombed by an explosion of gas.
When Johns and Bonds, after heroic
treatment, finally regained conscious.
ness they confirmed the gravest an.
ticipations of the people who for hours
had waited at the mouth of the shaft
to hear word of their loved ones.
Says Not One Escaped.
"Dead-all dead" was the stammer.
ing sentence of the superintendent as
he began to recover from the effects
of the poisonous gases.
Before they had lost consciousness
the rescuers had reached the first gal
lery. Even near the shaft they saw
things that made them know that only

and all other means adopted by rescue
parties in an effort to reach the en-

There are fifteen white and twenty
six negro laborers In the mine.

Call for Her moIester

There is slip Of girl teach

east Of this city who is entitled to
a Carnegie hero medal; if the

is unable to procure a room in the

One night last week some one
attempted to force an entrance to
the shcool house, frightening the
poor girl nearly to death. She
managed to escape by one of the
windows, and fled across the snow
to the nearest house. half a mile
away, falling several times and
sustaining sundry bruises and
bumps. After that she provided
herself with a 32-calibre revolver
and resolved to use it if further
molested.
Tuesday morning. about 200

presumably from the same man.
He was bent on forcing an en-
