Seventy-five Miners Are Entombed by the Exp!osion in the Mine Which Was Caused by Gas. The Wo men and Children Uurge the Men to Rescu. A dispatch from Bluefield, W. Va., says there are sixteen known dead and seventy-five mn entombed as a recent cf an explcsion of gas, followed by fire at the West Fork mine of the Pocl hontas Collieries company Wednesday night. Thursday rescue parties en dsavored to get to the entombed men. but the hett is so intense no man can get near them, and the whole mine Is filled with gas. Women relatives are crazed by the knowledge that loved ones are either dead or dying, spur on the rescuers and beg to be allowed to go in the mine themselves. Three men were brought from the bottom of the shaft where they were knocked down by the t xpilon, Lt tl ey ctu'd give no a C unt as they w< re to, far from wheri the, xpiosior occurred. A teltgram tfcm the Ecene of the Explewon says tie vork of rescuin bcaes from ,he West mine has best in prchr zs s!nce sarlv WednEsda: r.ght. The first rE u og party to g into the mire was heAded by Super litendent Vt Wiam S. LwekiE. who tool .with i= Jcthr 0 ham, W . R Talbo t and J. T Brown.' This party had little suce&s,, as three members werei rv1c.me vitri ga*es, Odham anr B:own loing their lives, and Talbot! being brougbt out uw;Consclous 'I he mine was then bratticed as the regu-Dg parties progressed and at thib hur 9 o'clock p. m , they have about rtached-the place of the crigin of tDN explosion. Tae body of one miner ba been recovertd up to this hour. He h S. B. Ucok, who was witbin 300 Lee of the outside when found and he was v-e only survivor of the explosion o! 1884. A number of bodies have been loca. tea by the explkring parties but can not be brougnt to the surface on ac c count of the aebris occasioned by h h terr.ffo explosion woich in some places has piiled up timbers and cifr: to the height of six feet. There were Eupposed to be some 5 r 60 people In this stction of the mines when the explosion occurred but a greater number of them beinj minors, tanere :s no reczrd kept o' them, hence the trouble to staue ex -&tiy these that have been ki'led. . Prties coming to work Thursdai norna f rom the Tug river, on the 'West V.rjgis side of the mine, dit not know tnere had oeen an~y troubl in the mines until they ran into som' bodies on the tracks, and scme mules dead 'with a man pinued between them. WtbIe the force of the x -loslor was terrific yet the foremen who were at the mines' ffloe did not~ knowr there had teen any trouble until the men and mules failed to come rut at the time f r quituing work. N~o re pcrt of the e xpjofi.n 'was hear d or re cutside ef i e mires. Supt. W. M. Leckie of the mine who erteredi the mine as one cf the rescung'party, had a narrow escape from death. He was o'vereOme by the funesndhad to beOariEd out. E - war Jones, the inside mine foreman, dtfe first rescne party and when tna pert.' failed ts return in a reas onable time a second rescue party under Supt. Leckie followed. Two cf Leckie's party, John 01. ham and Ezd Brown, were overcoame by gas ana aied, and Leckle barely ascaped with his life. The third par ty was formed and continued the 'work. Meanwhle the first party had reached another entrance to the mine in saety and sent word over the mountain arnouncing that fact.. Al this time the work of bratticing the mine, neecessary for carrying on the work of rescue, was being eff c tively carried on. Some confusionL 'was caused in the determination cif the ext~ct number of men entcmbed by the fact that when the exploso. occurred the exchange of shifts was in progress, added to which was the fac that a number or the men es caped from the Rag Fork entrance. The scenes around the mine were pitiful. Relatives and friends gath ered In groups at the entrances ano elsewhere awaiting tidirg of the v.c tims gave vent to their grief as the* bodies one by one were brought out1 The authorities anticipated the, feariul extent of the causualities by orderir g a carloads of coffins and bur al supplies.

An discusing the recent rsce riot at Ltlants the Northern papers gener Ily ha"Ve taken a very calm view of be situation. Tbere is a notable ab ?!ee of abte of tbe South. The llow!ng from the PalladelphIa Led er I a lair sample of the commehts f the Northern press on the race roblem in the South, and it would a well for the negro to take notice: A dozen years ago it was the fash )m for Northern newspapers and "or ans of opinion" to denounce the outh for lynchings, and to try to iake It apper that the Southern peo le were a band of semi- cvilizsd crea ares, to be carefully differentiated rom their brethren of the North. 'he North had no word but that of nmeasured horror of the Southern rs. and It was usual to say that it was e innate savagery of the white wich led them to lynch and to burr. ven when there were no attacks on bie wtjmen. In fact, for a long me the assertion was repeatedly Lade that the repo-ts of the heinous Utacks.on women were wildiy exag mrated and circuhlted for the purpose jastifyIng the lynching due to race ared. Wiehihn recent years this libel Isnot t aard so often. Within the past few I esks the lynchings in South Caro na, whieh Gv.
