BLAST ENTOMBS
1876 MEN IN MINE
NO HOPE FELT THAT ANY OF
THE VICTIMS WILL BE
FOUND ALIVE.
as ARE WHITEAND go ARE NEGROES
Women and Children Rush to Mouth
OF Mine and Pitiable Scenes
Are Enacted-Rescue
Work Futile.

Palos, Ala. - One hundred and
thirty-five miners are entomhed as
the result of an explosion in mine
No. 8 of the Palos Coal & Coke co .at
Palos, 20 miles from Birmingham
Forty-five are white men and 80 are
negroes. The explosion occurred at
1880 o'clock in the afternoon and is
believed to have been caused by gas
and coal dust. 1t happened at time
when employees are not supposed to
be shooting" So great was the
force of the explosion that Samuel
Goodsby, rural free delivery mail
carrier, who was walking on the rail-
road track 200 yards from the mouth
of the mine, was instantly killed, his
body being almost burned to a crisp
by the roll of flames that shot out of
the mine. He leaves a wife and ten
children.
The shock was felt for several miles
and caused great excitement. Men
and women and children made rush
for the mouth of the mine and pitia-
BILE scenes were enacted. Messages to
Birmingham and to adjacent mines in
the district soon started rescuing par
ties to the scene. A. d. Lightener,
general agent of the Frisco railroad,
rushed number of physicians, mine
operators and others on special
train to Palos. Rescue work was
futile. Oxygen helmets were brought
into use but cave-in a few hundred
feet in the mine impeded the passage
of air. Seventeen bodies have been
recovered so far.
AS the miners are numbered the
work of getting up a complete list OF
those entombed will be difficult task
Among the whites known to be in the
mine are:
J. S. Pennington and three sons-cllff

that they have a right to expect re-

was reported yesterday. claim that the
men were employed for an indefinite
period with the agreement that they
were to have employment for at least
