Denver.-A reduction of S1.50 q hun
dred pounds on express from New

LltietOn. Ala.-One hundred and
eighteen men are entonbed in the
Banner coal mine, near here, follow
ing terrific explosion.
Three bodies have been recovered.
Scranton. PA revised list Of
dead shows that seventy-three men
and boys met their deaths In the fire
In the Pancoast colliery at Throop,
near here.
A canvass of the victims families
shows fifteen widows and 1877 or.
phans.
Littleton. Ala.-The fatal after damp
which followed the explosion has SO
far kept the rescuers from penetrating
the mine. although they have been far
enough into the interior to see q grue-
some pile of human bodies huddled to-
gether near the shaft.
1t is estimated that about twenty
corpses are in this pile. Officials of
the Pratt Consolidated Coal Com.
pany, which owns the mine, have
abandoned hope Of bringing out alive
any OF those below the surface.
At first the entombed men could be
heard knocking on the pipes below,
but there is an ominous stiffness now
which indicates that the after damp
has done its deadly work.
Practically all of the men are negro
convicts.
The rescue work cannot proceed
safely until the mine can be bratticed
SO that fresh air can be forced in to
drive out the after damp. This work
is going on. but 1t probably will be
several days before all of the bodies
are recovered.
A special train is bringing the gov
eminent rescue car from Chattanooga
This explosion differs from others in
that there are practically NO mourn
srs at the openings.
The men at Banner were convicts,
without friends here. and whose rela-
tives are scattered throughout the
counties of Alabama.
While no official statement has been
made, 1t is believed the explosion was
caused by safety powder ignited by !
lamp and followed by dust.
When the night crew left the mines
shortly before the explosion happened
the night fire boss, Sparks, reported
the condition Of the mine as good and
the day shift was sent to work. There
were 40 men in all, only five Of whom
were free laborers. The others weHe
conyicts, mostly negroes.
Immediately following the explosion
several of the convicts with mining ex-
perience discovered that black damp
was forming. They spread the alarm
and many started a race with death to
the entrance.
Forty-five of the miners either
reached the outside in safety or got
within hailing distance of the shaft
and were taken out by rescuers.
Scores Of volunteers were on hand,
brought by the alarm and made hero
ic efforts to bring out the victims.
This work proved effective until the
deadly gases reached the main shaft
into which the men were headed.
State Mine Inspector James Hill
house and Assistant Dickerson togeth-
er with several other experts and Off

to the mine when news of the disas-
ter reached Birmingham.

1910 as in 1909: but if we take into

NOW FOR DECORATIONS.

Now that one business house in
the city has donned holiday garb, it
is to be hoped that the power of sug-
gestion and imitation Will begin to
work upon other merchants. The
business streets of P%endleton during
the next week should be one mass of
cclor so that when the stranger with
il our gates steps off the train he
will know at once that he is in the
midst of a great festival.
The streets themselves will adopt
gay trappings, the city and the
Roundup association having made
provisions for the festal array, but
they should be banked on either side
Nth a solid mass of ornate business
fronts. When only a few of the mer-
chants display their colOrs to the pub
lie. the general effect is lost although
the few merchants themselves gain,
for the average visitor will immedi-
ately take mental note of the efforts
made 10 observe the celebration with
some utwar display. If these eff
forts are few and far between, the
visitor will decide hat the number
Of live. active, patriotic business cit
izens IS limited. What everyone
wants is a universal impression that
Pendleton has a business class that
Is a unit of wideawake spirit.
In the past, during days of celebra-
ton, some merchants have always
adorned their buildings in flags and
bunting and there have been a few
occasions when nearly all have fallen
in with the decorative idea. Fair
week which begins Monday will I'M
doubtedly be the greatest festival per-
iod in the history of the city and it
Is a duty Of all to prepare %fittingly.
