men seriously injured and an estimated
property loss Of s., 100000 entailed in
an early morning fire today that de-
stroycd two factories in the shoe and

eight others.
The fire started in the seyen-story
factory OF the Krippcndorf O'Neil Shoe

story plant Of the Taylor Poole Leather
Company, both plants being leveled to
the ground. The casualties occurred
when the walls Of the former building

was spectator, being instantly killed.
OF the ten other firemen hut, being
instantly killed. OF the ten other fire
men hurt none is in serious condl-
ton. The cause OF the fire is unknown.
There are strong reasons to believe
the fire was OF inccndiary origin.
At T O'Clock this morning the fire
was finally brought under control.
When the walls of the Krippendorf-
O'Ncill plant fell, two fire engines were
completely buried under tons OF debris
and those OF the crews who were not
caught had hairbredth escapes.
The burned district is in the inn
mediate vicinity OF the county jail and
when the walls fell a panic ensued
among the prisoners. They were
taken from their cells and marshalled
together ready to be marched at a
moments notice through tunnel into
the court house, but their removal
proved unnecessary.

ANOTHER MINE HORROR

Three Hundred Miners Entombed-
Enormous Death List Fearcd-Fire
Follows Explosion
Manchester, Eng, Dec. 2l.-Two
hundred and fifty coal miners are be-
lieved to have been killed today in an
explosion and fire that wrecked the
Pretoria Mine of the Hutton Company
near Leigh, 25 miles northeast OF
Liverpool.
The cause OF the explosion, which
occurred at S O'Clock, is unknown.
Approximately 800 men were in the
mine when the explosion occurred.
Fire broke out Immediately, and
within few minutes flames were leap
ing from the mouth of the mine to q
height OF eighty feet.
The shaft was choked by the wreck
ed mine cages and other debris. This
not only practically destroyed the
ventilating apparatus, but turned back
the rescuing party, led by Mine Mana
ger Tonge. after the rescue OF seven
men ear the mouth of the mine.
The rescuers finally effected an en-
trance through an adjoining mine, bu
their work was greatly hampered by
the flames and the danger of further
explosions Most of the victims en-
countered were dead. Those still alive
were for the most part badly injured
None OF those taken out alive coult
give any clue as to the cause OF the ex
plosion.
Hundreds OF people gathered abou
the mouth Of the mine and the grief o
the families of the entombed men lee
to many dramatic incidents. Wives
and mothers OF victims tried to enter
the mine and were only restrained by
an extra detail OF police.
Many of the corpses recovered were
unacceptable from burns and dis
memberment. The force OF the ex
plosion was sufficient to denude mos
OF the victims.
Among the victims were a number o
small boys, who were serving a.
helpers.
