A Celebration la the Greek Church Saved Scores Who Would Have Been la the Mine If They Had Not Been at Church. An explosion of gas In the Darr mine of the Pittsburg Coal Company, located at Jacob’s Creek, Va., Thurs day entombed between 200 and 250 miners, and there is scarcely a ray of hope that a single one of them will be taken from the mines alive. Partially wrecked buildings in the vicinity of the mine and the condi tion of 4he-few-hodiea found early in the rescue work Indicate an explo sion of such terrific force that It seems impossible that any one could have survived it This is the third mine disaster since the first of the month In the vlens of the bituminous coni under The Alias put Into Rio De Janerto for repairs,’badly leaking. On the way to this port a nautiny took place among the crew over some trouble with the male, but it was easily quelled- Before the collision off Cape Horn three of the ahip’a company met death. On May 23 J. Schumacher and Charles Nolan seamen, fell from the Jib-boom and were drowned. On lying Western Pennsylvania aadi^-£, “5 West Virginia for the Naomi mine, near Fayette City, and the two mines at Monongah, West Vrginln, in which the earlier explosion happen ed, are in the same belt as the local workings. Thursday’s catastrophe sweels the number o f -victims of deadly mine gas for the nineteen days of December to between .550 to 800. That this disaster does not equal or even surpass in loss of life and attendant horrors the one in Weet- Vlrgjnia la due to the devotion to church duties of a considerable num ber of the miners. In obbservance of the church festival-many of the four hundred or more men regularly em ployed at the' mine did not go to work that morning. Those who es caped through this reason are mem bers of the .Greek church and they suspended work to celebrate St. Nicholas Day. — j As was the case at Monongah, the explosion followed a brief shut down the Darr mine having been closed Tuesday and Wednesday before the explosion. It was 11.30 o’clock when the tenth trip of loaded cars had been brought put to the tipple and there came an awft^l fumbling sound followed Immediately by a loud re port and g. concussion that shook nearby Jbulldinga and was felt with in a'radius of several miles. ,!

On June 6, at 6 P. M., the Atlaa struck the Norwegian bark Viking. Capt. Petersen, bound from Ham burg to Callao. Both were badly damaged by the contact, but the bark fared the worst. In the terror of the night 1£ of the crew of the Norwegian bark boarded the American ship, crawling over tangled shrouds and dangling booms. Capt.

According to a statement issued officially the recent encounters at Iqniqne, Chill, between nitrate stitk- era and the police resulted la the ktiliag ol 210 men and the wounding of aboat fifty. During one oT the encounters the trpops fired parties larly at the leaders of the strikers, bat theOt aim was poor and the men were not kart Intutlvely every one in the vicin ity knew what had happened and all charted for the one place the mouth of the mine. The river seperates the mine and the homes of muy of ths jnlnara»-.ao-4haL only a portion, of those whl started for the scene were able to reach it, there being scant facilities for crossing the stream. To those who could not jroas the water the smoke‘and dust louring in from the mine’s mouth told a story of seething flamee back la the workings and from this source esme reports that were persistent until late in the day that the mine was burning. - • - The ventilating fans were kept in operating almost without interrup- tlon, however, the power plant hav ing withstood the force of the ex plosion, and . rescurers have tountf no fire at any place in the mine. As far as la known only one man who went to work Thursday morning escaped. Joseph Mapleton, » pumper, emerged from one of the dde entries shortly, after the explo- on. He had left the,part of the mine where most of tfie men were working and was on his way to the engine foom for oil. I was near entry 21,” said he, "when I heard an awful rumbling. I started towards the entry, but the next instant I was blinded and for a little time I did not know anything. Than I got to the ^ aide entry and worked my way out” Maple ton was somewhat cut and brfiiaed, but later returned to the mine and Joined the rescuing parties. William Kelvlngston, superinten dent of the mine was not in the mine when the accident occurred and be qnickly organised rescuing parties, starting one force of twenty-five men with reliefs at short Intervals in the main entry and a similar force at a side entry. It is hoped to reach the greater part of the victims through the latter. 8b far little trouble has been en countered mn account of the gas 4>r lack of air by the rescuers. While the officials and the rescuers have only the faintest hope that any of the men may be living, all work is be ing carried on upon the ffiieory that some may have found places of safe ty and every point of the workings will be explored. The main office of the company is In Pittsburg and Immediately upon the receipt of news of the explosion the officials harried to the mine and are leading and directing the rescue . | Prosperous Negro Merchant Found ' Dead la his Store. A dispatch from Sumter to The State says Coroner 8. F. Flowers re turned Tusaday afternoon from- the Stateeburg neighborhood, where he investigated the death of Waltei Bland ing, colored. The negro was the owner of a store and was found brutally eut up In hie store. No one appeared to know anything of the affair, and Coroner Flowers did not empanel a jury. From all appearances the murder was done foi the purpose of robbery, as only ft8 ccnia^jras fotuid lnjha stQr#An<L.the deceased was said to have been doing a good business and to be well off. The body was terribly mutilated with gashes inflicted with a hatchet and knife that were found near the body covered with blood.

It is bellevd that most of the men will be found nearly a mile and a half from this point. How long it will require to remove enough of the fallen roof to open a passage to these remost workings can only be conjec tured as it depends on how frequent these falls gre met with. It is hop ed from the progress made up to this time, however, that the farther rec- tion aril] be reached early. There are several side entries, trough which it Is expected some of the men will be reached. Mrs. John Campbell, wife of the mine foreman, whose home is located about fifty yards from the mouth of the mine, graphically de scribed the explosion. She said: "About 11.30 there was a loud report and the dishes in my cupboard and on the table rattled and were knocked out of place*, while the window were shattered: - Instinctive ly I knew what had happened. I have tot a. long time feared an explosion In the miner for I knew it was gase ous. My husband and I had talked of it and he often referred to the gas in the mfoe. My husband was Just about due for his dinner when this loud repart came, and I looked oat the back door towards a man way from the mine through which he came to his meals. Instead of my husband I saw a great cloud.ef dost and smoke pouring out and through the man-way. It floated upward and disappeared across the river. I nm sure Mr. Campbell will be found in the entry not far from the mouth of the mine, for I kflow he must have RESCUED BY SHERIFF. The Storekeeper, Mr. T. L. Gives, After Being Rescued, Was Taken -*■ a to the Hospital fo Charleston for Treatment. He Was Unable to Give Any Account of the Trouble. The Robbers Mode Their Escape. The following account-of an bat- rage that took y place near Charles ton, we clip from the News and Courier of Chrlsmas Day. The News and Courier says a telephony call from St. Andrew's Parish yesterday afternoon gave information of an outrage committed and the prompt response of Deputy Sheriff Joseph Poulnot and volunteers was, no doubt, the means of saving the life ot Thomas L. Caves, who keeps a gen eral store fn St.', Andrew’s, a short distance from the\New Bridge ter minus, across the Ashley River. The message was received In the sheriff's office about six o’clock and it was to the effect that Caves had been set upon and sferiously Injured by negroes intent upon robbing hid store. Caves, it seems, was, to some extent; able to defend hiifiself for some time and, though badly injur ed, managed to get inside the store wheh he barred the doors. He then crawled to the telephone and called Eighty Per Gent of New Mills and One Hundred and Fifty Thousand Workers Affected. The Arkwright Club, which rep resents the cotton mill Interests In New England, at a meeting at Bos ton Thursday voted tor the curtail meat of prodoetion 25 per cent be tween now and March 1. In order to relieve conditions tfi cloth markets of New York, Chicago, Boston end other large entries esntres. It was stated several days ago that a committee previously appoint ed by the Club to canvass the situa tion among the mills had found suffi cient sentiment to Insure the suc- of the curtailment plan, and that a restriction ot production was regarded as s certainty. The cotton mills ol.New England employ about l§fr,OQQ persons under normal condition,vffnn It is expected that at least 150,000 will be affect-) ed by the shdrt time. The curtail ment agreement became operative to-day, although numerous mini have been shut down since Tuesday night —— - The agreement will affect a large inajorlty of Fall River print cloth mills, the fine goods of New Bedford, the Amoskege Corporation, ot Man chester, employing 12,000 hands and most of the other New Hampshire factories, the York Corporation, pi Saco, Maine; Pepperlll Mills, of Bid- deford; the mills of ^ Lewiston, The message sent was to the effect that he was being murdered and that Immediate help was needed. Mr. Poulnot was In charge of the office and loat no time in atarting for the scene of the trouble. He chartered one of the big touring care from the Charleston Hotel garage, in charge of Chaffeur Johnson, and picking up Mr. Harry Lthnstedt and later Constable R. L. Knox, sped ovei to St. ^Andrew's. The men In the car did not know just what they were to face—but they asked no questions and were ready for any emergency. Arriving at Cave's store, which h at the junction of the shell road and the James Island road, they looked about for bellgerftnts._ None was in sight, and then giving attention to the store, they succeded in rbulsng Mr. Caves, who was Just ablbe to get the door and unbar it; weeping with Joy at the sight of his rescur ers. He was so far spent with loss of blood from‘an ugly wound ovet the left eye, that he could give no ac curate account of the trouble, and only the genearl details were learn ed. There was not a person in the neighborhood when ' the automobile stopped at the store, and seeing the condition of the wounded man, Mr. Poulnot- decided ■» to-eome - back,, once. Within an hour and a half ol the time of receiving the message Mr. Caves was at the Roper Hospital receiving the best possible attention. He is getting along very well, al though not outToF danger.
