of the Birmingham Railway Coal &

night. 1t is believed all are dead
The cages in the shaft of the mine
were so badly sprung by the force of
the explosion that they are useless,
and all other means adopted by res
cue parties in an effort to reach the
entombed men have proved futile.
There are fifteen white and twenty
five negro laborers in the mine. Fol
lowing the explosion, flames shot up
the mine shaft 400 feet and the
ground is covered with charred tim
bers, which were blown from the bot
tom of 350-foot shaft by the explo-
sion. Every window in the little min
ing village was broken.

New York state pays It's governor
an annual salary of $4,000 and ex.

this may be increased to $17,500.

MEET AWFUL DEATH
EIGHTEEN LIVES SNUFFED OUT
BY EXPLOSION IN AN OHIO
COAL MINE.
Some of the Victims Believed to Have
Been Suffocated by After Damp,
While Others Met In
slant Death.

Stubenville, O.-The lives OF eigh-
teen miners were snuffed out in a
tremendous explosion in the Youghio.
gheny & Ohio Coal company's mine
at Amsterdam Friday night
Seven men, bruised and burned,
were rescued from the mine, and
their escape from death is regarded
as miraculous. The interior of the
mine was wrecked and all ventilation
shut off. The cause has not yet been
determined.
The mine had been inspected but
two days before the explosion by
Deputy Inspector Thomas Morrison.
From the condition underground, it
is said the explosion in point of force
was the greatest ever recorded in
Ohio.
When the explosion occurred, peo-
pie thought there had been an earth
quake. A train was passing the mine
and every window in every car was
shattered. The trainmen fed, as a
car of dynamite was attached to the
train.
After working all night, the rescu-
ing crews located six bodies. During
the afternoon, government experts
from the geological laboratory at
Pfttsburg arrived with oxygen outfits.
They failed to find more bodies.
e. o. Jones, the night superintend-
ent, was blown over several cars,
and gas flames passed over him.
Jones, when found, was badly burn
ed and bruised. All the other men
rescued were burned, but none seri-
ously. Two men, brothers, were found
locked in each others arms. This
leads to the belief that the men were
not killed instantly, but were suffo-
Gated by after-damp.
