ANOTHER HORRIBLE
MINE DISASTER
Report From Alabama Of an Explo-
sion That Killed More Than 400
Earth Toilers--Most of the
Dead Were State Convicts

Littleton, Ala, April S.-0ne hum
dred and fifteen men, the greater
majority convicts, were killed this
morning in an explosion in the BAN
ner coal mine near here. Five bod
les have been recovered and about
80 whites and eighty negroes are
still in the shaft. Forty-five were
rescued.
Rescue work is interfered with
as many persons are overcome by
black damp and have TO be dragged
out. State Mine Inspector James
Hillhouse is in charge OF the work.
The disaster occurred far under
the ground and is thought to have
been caused by AZ explosion of
powder, which set fire to dust. As
the fan was destroyed, black damp
quickly spread over the mine. Run
ners were sent out to warn work
men and this is responsible for so
many being taken out alive. The
explosion came after the night crew
was out and before the day crew Of
1Ftt liillltiS lidu tDbtItu .iiIt liltiit.
There were 100 conyicts and about
10 free miners i'll the workings al
the time of the explosion.
Guards with shot guns are keep
ing back the crowds from the
mouth of the mine to give rescuers
free access. Lists are being checked
of all men who were at work at the
hour of the explosion. Bodies are
being taken out at the new shaft
1ree-quarters of mile from the
old mine. J. s. Waldrop, local su-
perintcndent, and +. b. Rosamond,
general superintendent, are assist
ing in the rescue work. Everything
possible is being done to reach the
men, but it is believed that no one
will be found alive.
Out of the 275 convicts who
worked there, it is estimated that
i75 were from Jefferson county.
The Banner mines are in the
western part of Jefferson county.
They are owned by the Penatt Con-
solidated Coal Company, with of
fees in Birmingham. Convicts,
hired from the various counties
throughout the state, are employed
in the mines.

tcrw0rks Bonds and Throw
OF Fees and Costs rs a
Premium.

The Mena Water Works Commits
sion has closed the deal for the sale

to William r.. Compton a. Co. of st.

years and bear 6 per cent interest.
More than this, there is TO be no
trustees fee nor commission for
the sale of the bonds, and the bonds
are furnished by the purchasing
company for about one-fourth the
regular price, so that the commits
sioners consider that they are ac-
tually getting little above par for
the No. 2 Improvement district pa
per.
Since the new board, composed Of
John Thompson, NJ. Martiny and G.
w. Petty, organized a few weeks
ago, there has been little said, but
IT appears that they have been busy.
They have been carrying on CORE
spondence with bond buying COM
panies, engineers and water works
supply people.
The commissioners have had sew
eral good propositions for the sale
of the bonds, and several engineers
have visited Mena to look over the
proposition and figure on the extern
sive improvements to be made on
the city's water system. A repre-
sentative Of the Compton Company
was in Mena several days last week
trying to buy the bonds. He finally
made an offer of 80 cents, but the
board held strong for par value and
The gentleman left for st. Louis to
see his people. A telegram received
yesterday announced the accept
ance Of the boards terms.
The William Compton company
is q heavy dealer in bonds. II re-
Gently purchased large issue OF
Little Rock bonds, also large is
sue OF TT. Smith bonds. The COM
pany's financial rating is very high.
Under the agreement the neW

years, beginning with O payment OF
of $500 principal and interest on
S65,00O on June 4, 1912, and ending
with a payment of $500 and inter-

attention TO the question of getting
an additional water supply and tax
ing up the rebuilding of the system
