MORE THAN 50 DEAD'
IN NINE BLAST.
Thirty Of94 Men EntOmbed Near
SpangIer, Pa, Saved
RESCUE WORK GOES ON
Toll Taken by Gas-Bodies Scattered
Through Mine For Dis
tance Of 500
Feet.

Spangler, Pa.-More than so miners
are believed to have lost their lives
in an explosion in Reilly Mine of the
Reilly Coal Company near here.
Thirty blanched survivors of the
explosion, most of them young men,
lay on a double row of cots in the
miners hospital here anxiously watch
ing the entrance to the big room.
They were the known survivors of the
81 miners who went into the mine
a few minutes before a terrific ex-
plosion. The exact number of dead
was still undetermined, although it
was the opinion of trained rescue
leaders that perhaps fifty or sixty had
lost their lives.
Their vigil began when the first
eight were brought to the hospital.
The entrance of observation-disclosures
meant that another comrade had been
dragged from an underground sea of
gas.
At 7.20 o'clock \. N. the explosion
occurred in the heart Of the mine. As
soon as miners from neighboring pits
could reach the mine preliminary work
Of rescue began and it was supple.
mented later in the day by trained
engineers from the United States Blu
reau Of Mines in Pittsburgh and the
rescue crews Of neighboring mines.
The rescue men all told the same
story as they came to the surface.
They declared that bodies were scat
tered through the workings for more
than 500 feet.
The sad part OF it," said one sturdy
miner, "is that at least 20 of the
victims were within a hundred feet
Of fresh air when they were overcome
by the gas"
Men, women and children by the
score crowded the police lines near
the shaft. Many Of them had been
there since they heard of the ex-
plOsion early in the day, and there
was no Indication they would leave
their posts until the last body had
been brought out.
On the cot of honor at the hospital
rests youth Of %. His name is Abe
Craig. His GOODNESS saved at least a
dozen lives.
There isn't much to tell" said
Craig. We went down at o'clock
and entered heading No. 10 on the
lett. A few minutes later there was
a crash. I told the boys that meant
cave-in, and we had better get out.
Then there was a rush of gas. Luck
lily our door was open, or the explo-
sion would have knocked it down.

"Outside there were yells, and one
OF our gang shouted to tell them

opened the door. and three or four
men staggered in. The boys rushed
out and dragged in others. We re-
vived them.
Then I looked out again. All
could see was bodies. The after
damp was rolling through the head
ing. I jumped inside and closed the
door. There was nothing to do but
wait for rescuers.

MARYLAND.

BaltimOre.-TheD Democrats carried
the State of Maryland, electing Will
liam Cabell Bruce to the United States
Senate over DR.. Joseph l. France by
about $4,000 majority. In Baltimore
City Mr. Bruce's majority over his
Republican opponent was more than
5000.
The counties will give nearly as
much majority for Mr.. Bruce as was
rolled up in the city. The successful
candidates are:

Sixth Observation-Disclosures N. Zihl-

Judge of Supreme Bench of Balti-
more City-Duke Bond, Democrat.
AS the result of the election the
vets gain one member of the House
of Representative from Maryland.
The new member from the Second
District, Colonel Tydings, ran on a
platform in opposition to the Volstead
law. He will succeed Albert A. Blak-
eney, dry, whom he defeated for re,
election.
In the Third district Representative
Hill made sweep, showing under his
opponent, Antony Dimarco, by a ma
jority Of nearly 5000 votes.
All of the constitutional amend.
ments were carried by an overwhelm-
ing vote in Baltimore City. while the
majority Of the county votes were cast
against them. While the vote in the
counties has not all been returned it
is not likely that it will be sufficient
to defeat any of these amendments.
Therefore it appears that Baltimore
City will be given increased repre-
sentation in the General Assembly.
The Baltimore City school loan went
through by a rousins majority and the
one branch City Council charter
amendment was also carried by big
vote
In Baltimore county the road loan
was ratified.
