Work at every mine in the vi

Work at every mine in the vi
cinity of Providence was sus-
pended today and the miners
ga hered around the wreckage
to assist in the rescue work.
The families of the victims are
being cared for by officials of
the mine and everything is being
done for their comfort.
AS soon as the wreckage is
cleared away the company will
start an investigation to deter
mine the cause of the explosion.
According to the to the officials
of the company all precautions
were taken to prevent a disaster
like that of Friday afternoon,
and they are at loss to know
what was the direct cause of the
accident.
The dead miners are: Wesley
Fugate, white, so; married, wife
and seven children. Edward
Vaughn, %, unmarried. Cissel
Shackleford, calored, 40, unmar-
ried. John woolfork. colored,
q, wife and yne child. Willis
Roscoe, colored 80. wife and
five children. George Johnson
colored, As, wife and five child
rem. Coley johnson, colored,
ten years of age. Coleman
Northfeet, colored, 80, married
Louis Lyon, 40, wife and four
children. Hope Shelton. AZ, wife
and three children.
When the bodies were remOv-
ed they placed on mattresses and
carried to an undertaking estab-
lisment where Coroner Doris
held inquests. the verdict of
the jury was that the men came
to their death in an expl osion
of mine No. 3, of the Providence
Coal Co., cause unknown.
The scene at the mine when
the bodies were being brought
to the surface was pathetic in
the extreme. The wives and
children of the dead men re-
NAMED around the shaft all
night hoping and praying that
their loved ones had escaped.
But their hopes were shattered
when the first body was raised
to the ground. They then real
lied that all had been killed and
the frantic grief of the wives
and children caused men with |
strong hearts to weep and leave
the scene.

PROVIDENCE, KY, Nov. 70.
Ten horribly mutilated bodies
the victims of the explosion of
mine No. 8, of the Providence
Coal Co., were removed from the
bottom of the shaft today. All
the bodies have been identified,
although three were so fearfully
mangled that Identification could
be made only from the clothing
and articles found in the pockets
of the victims.
Head Blown Completely Off.
The body of Edward Vaughn,
one of the white miners who met
his doom in the bowels of the
earth, was so horribly dismemb-
cred that Identification could not
be made. His head was torn
from the body and was never
found. One arm is missing and
the body from the waist up was
shredded Articles in the pock-
cts enabledyhs friends to Ideuti-
fly it. All the bodies were so
mangled and blackened that
immediate Identification was i'm
possible.

6 o'clock this morning on a spec
ial mine rescue demonstration car
from Linton. Ind, where the
corps has been on a tour through
Southern Indiana coal regions
instructing the miners and offic-
ials.
At z o'clock three members of
the rescue party were lowered
into the mine by a windlass erect
ed during the night by the coal
company. The experts, wearing
helmets and other apparatus used
in the perilous work, were low
cred without difficulty. They
found the body of Edward
Vaughn near the bottom of the
shaft. Ropes were tied around
it and it was hoisted to the sur
face. Two negro bodies were
next recovered. These were
found several feet back from the
opening.
Several miners were lowered
in the mine to assist the experts
but owing to the foul gases that
filled the shaft they had to be
hoisted to the surface.
The experts worked like Tro-
jams before recovered the other
bodies. Great masses of debris
had TO be removed before all the
rooms could be explored. Twen-
ty feet back from the body Of the
shaft the passage was completely
stopped with slate. nine .imbers
and debris. This had to be re-
moved, reqniring several hours
of diligent work with the pick
and shovel.
The experts discovered that
the explosion was immediately
followed by flow of black damp.
To overcame this, all engines
were put to work pumping fresh
air into the shaft. Before all
bodies were recovered this was
allaved and miners went down
and rendered great assistance to
the experts.
The cause of the catastrophe
was an explosion of gases.
Twenty men had been at work
on the day shift but ten of them
had left shortly before the disas-
ter. All miners had left shots
and it is supposed that one of
shots was premature, which
opened a vein of gas. or else ig-
nited an accumulation Of gases in
the entries.
The whole population of Prov
idenc and surrounding county
flocked to the scene shortly after
the accident and began to assist
in the rescue of the unfortu nate
men. Guards were placed around
The milne and with much difficulty
he crowds were kept back.

Protecting Soft Wood.

The new process announced by
Consul Olivares of Managua, is de.
signed to make soft wood proof
against the ravages Of the termites
or white ants. which in the tronics
often destroy the finest buildings in
six months. and is specially recon.
mended to makers of furniture and
woodenware intended for use in trop.
zeal countries. OF untreated woods
only eucalyptus and teak resist the
termites. The treatment consists IN
boiling the newly cut timber in \
saccharine solution. which extracts
the air and coagulates the albnmen
in the sap, and then rapidly driving
at fairly high temperature. The hard
homogeneous product-which does not
shrink. warp or split-resists the drv
rot of temperate lands as well as the
tropic termites.
