wife Of Harry Chancey, a labor

plant, and the mother of a two
months old babe sustained burns
at noon yesterday which resulted

died early last evening after suf-

Mrs. Chancey was engaged in
burning some rubbish in the back
yard of the home when her dress
caught fire. She was alone and
the flames completely enveloped
her before her screams attracted
the attention of neighbor women.
Several neighbors ran to her
assistance and succeeded in ex-

her on the ground. Before the
fire was quenched her dress had
been almost burned from her
body and she had sustained hor-

too cool to be entirely withou,

convenience. Cleanliness and
comparative low cost of operation
makes this type of heating de-

ly, many of these heaters are
used without a flue-pipe to carry
Oft the products of combustion.
The use of such heaters is to be
deprecated. This is especially
true of those devices of low eff

imperative that the doors and
windows be kept closed il the OBJ
Ject sought-that of raising the
temperature of the room-is to

Journal of the American Medical

when one is willing to sacrifice

Four Hundred Perish in WEIGH
Mine

Cardiff, Wales, Oct. ID More
than four hundred WEIGH coal
miners persisted, it is believed,
from fire and afterdamp, in the
Universal Colliery near here, TO-
day.
A terrific explosion shattered
the works shortly after 931 men
had descended into the pit. 1t
was first stated that the day
shift was composed of TAG men,
but later the larger figure was
given out by officials.
About 500 men were brought to
the surface alive by rescuers UP
to noon, but then the managers
of the mine expressed the opin-
that the remainder of the miners
had persisted.
The day shift of 931 descended
the shaft in the cages at five
O'Clock. An hour afterward a
deafening report brought the in
habitants in the vicinity of the
mine running to the pithead,
where they found the ventilating
and hosting machinery at the
top of the shafts had been blown
to atoms by an explosion of great
violence.
A man working sixty feet away
was decapitated by the force of
violence.
An entrance was found through
an adjacent shaft. On descend
ing the rescuing party found sew
eral groups of men huddled to-
gether in portions of the mine
where the air was still good. By
noon they had picked up and
brought to the surface 500 min
ers.
The same pit was the scene of
an explosion twenty years ago,
W hen 120 miners lost their lives.
But one man was rescued alive
at that time.
Cardiff, Wales, Oct. 14.-The
rescued miners, the members OF
life-saving gangs and officials of
the mine, declared this afternoon
that they could hold out no hopes
for the miners still below. Those
brought to the surface were
found in the east side of the
mine, where the ventilation was
fairly good. In the west side
fire added to the terrors and the
rescued parties were unable to
make progress. The officials
called out a detachment of police
to keep back the women and
children of the entombed miners
from the burning pit.

Result in First District Gratifying

Washington, Oct. IA. That

derwood tonight, when informed
chat Major Nicely had carried the

I am greatly pleased to hear of
the election of Mr.. Neely," he
added. The First West Virgin
ia district is the initial one in
which an election has occurred
since the passage of the Demo
cratic tariff bill, and it is very
gratifying to me that this great
industrial district has given it's
approval to the new tariff law,
which was made the issue at all
the polls there today"
Mr.. Underwood smiled broad
ly when the news was carried to
him OF the Democratic victory,
and seemed thoroughly pleased
over the result.
II ann Glad to hear it," was
the comment of Speaker Champ
Clark, whose speech at Wheeling
probably had much to do with the
result, when the news of Major
Neely's election was conveyed to
him. lit can only be regarded
as an endorsement of the tariff
bill, the Democratic Congress has
recently enacted, and | am very
glad to know that the endorse

Wis, who was the first Democrat
