Assistant Chief William burroughs

Other firemen, witnesses of the

pyre, sought with their bare hands
to drag the l>ody of their chief and
companions out of the debris. finding
this a vain ecort, they followed
the orders of Assistant Marshal Seyr'erlich
and redoubled their efforts to

With a dozen streams still playlug
upon the smouldering ruins of

of Kreelander & Co., 1,116-20 Inclusive,
North Rodlne street, Philadelphia.
It was flrst reported that Chief
Raxter, of the firo department, was
among those atll! In the ruins, but
while he was Injured, he escaped being
carried down by the falling walls.
While the firemen were fighting
the fin uer, from adjoining dwellings,
the south wall of the big building
crashed down upon them. At the
time there were at least thirty-five
men on these buildings and all were
carried down. Four of the unfortunate
men were later taken out dead.
Twelvo were able to extricate
them selves from the mass of bricl\3
and twisted iron girders, but It Is
thought that twenty men are still in
the ruins. All of these are not dead
or seriously injured. Some of them
are able to talk with their brother
firemen, who are bending every effort
to rescue them.
The north wall of the burned
structure Is still standing, but It may
ran at any moineni. ji Burn a calamity
should occur before the men are
dug out, It iH probable that all would
be crushed to death.
After an allnight eoareh In the
ruins of the leather factory of I).
Friedlander, destroyed by Are Wednesday

of flromen killed by falling walls
is under twenty. John C. Baxter,
chief of the tire department, who
had a narrow escape from deuth,
said that his reports show that from
11 to 14 llromen lost their lives. He
said, however, that his reports ure
not complete. Superintendent of police
John Taylor believes the number
of dead will reach 20.

Fresh from the victory of his road
In the celebrated "merger" case lo
Columbia, which has been In progress
for the last three weeks, President
W. W. Finley went to Newberry
on a special train Tuesday
night and made an address at the
Newberry chamber of commerce banquet
upon the resources and the
ever-brightening future of the South, '
which he concluded by saying that
he believed the victory of the Soutern
on Tuesday afternoon meant
much for 8outh Carolina, as weli a?
the Southern.
"It baB been my good fortune,"
he said, "to spend the past three
weeks in South Carolina, and to become
better acquainted with the
splendid people of this State and better
informed as to the progress they
are making. In this connection, it
is particularly pleasing to me to address
a South Carolina audience in

the constitutionality of the legislative
act under which important parts of
our lines in this State were united
to the Southern Railway ayaiem.

I believe will be generally recognized,
means much to the Southern

eaye more than 300 rnlnerB lost
their lives Wednesday In an explosion
In the Little Hulton colliery 01
the Hulton Colliery company, which
is located a little distance outside
that city.
The explosion occurred early In the [
morning, soon after the miners had
entered the pit to be?ln work. Its
force was terrific and later investlga- j
tlon showed that the lower passages
had been blocked. Heroic efforts j
were made by rescue parties, but u
fierce fire which followed tbo explosion
prevented the rescuers from
t
penetrating beyond 400 yurds into
the workings.
At 9:30 Wednesday night all the
rescuers were called out of the mine
and a conference was held at which
government Inspectors and the engi- |
neers or the mino were present, inHpector
Gerrad issued a report after
making a descent Into the pit, In
which he stated that It was Impossible
that any of the miners are still 1
alive. Ho addod that nothing could
bo done except to bring up 20 bodies
found lying near the shaft. Thle report
was communicated to the anxIouh
crowds around the pit mouth,
after which the Bishop of Manchester
conducted a touching service in the
open air and the people lowly dls- |
persed.
No explanation Is given as to the
cause of the explosion which completely
wrecked the mine.
This Is the second great mine disaster
in England this year, an explosion
having occurred In the Wellington
colliery at White Haven, Cumberland,
on May 12 in which 13f>
minors wore killed. The explosion

reached the bottom of the pit.
In all, they brought, out eight men
still living but the majority of these
were In a serious condition from the
noxious gases. Ten bodies also were
removed and 20 additional bodies
were found partly covered by coal.
Late tonight the colliery fans were
started again and the air was found
to be fairly good. Arrangements were
then made for relays of rescuers to
go into the mine every three hours
throughout the night. Toward midnight
two more miners were found
alive. They were terribly burned
and are In a critical condition.

I had been collected at the bottom of
[the shaf, And they will be brought

the rescuers that more men may he

aro still on the scene, and
relatives, mostly women, aro lingering

Among the Incidents was the death
of a rescuer, who, anxious to reach
his two sons who were entombed,
got In advance of his comrades and
forfeited his life from after-damp.

"I'm sorry now. and Just as toon
as 1 get out of this I'U go back to
uiy parents and be a good girl. No
more burglary for me." said Miss
Jean Miller as she was taken from
Passaic, N. J., to jail In Patereon.
The girl was arrested after her coiopanlon,
known as Jamce Hanley, had
been shot while attempting to enter
the house of Theodore P. Talpey, hi
Passaic. The rurs, diamond*,
watches and bracelet* she wore, when
arrested, were worth hundreds of
dollars, and she admits every piece
was stolen. Hauley will die as the
results of his wounds.
Relating the story of her life Miss
Miller stated her parents are living
in Waro, Mass. "Two years ago when
15 years old," she said, "I went to
Boston. I worked in a store where
1 met Hanley. He said he was a
salesman an l I knew as such for a
long time. 1 was surprised when he
told me he was a burglar and wanted
to quit his acquaintance, but he persisted.
"He offered to take me through
the Eaat with him, to dress me well,
and all I was to do was to "lay
bones," that is stand outside, keep
watch and give alarm In case of
danger. Now, every girl likes to
travel and dress well; bo 1 agreed.
We began work in Boston, then went
to other cities. We lodged in th?
most fashionable part of the towrm
we were working; dined at the best
hotels; wore fine clothes, and never
gave any cause for suspecting that
we were 'pals' In crime."
Continuing her story Miss Miller
told of robberies committed in Charlestown,
Cambridge, Providence,
Philadelphia, Camden and .Jersey
City. Their second visit to Passaie
led to the fatal shooting of Hanley
and the arrest of Miss Miller. "You
might think that with all this plunder.
wo would have some cash hut
that is not true. There is nothing
in the treasury. We lived high,"
says Miss Miller, "and frequently
we were obliged to rob to raise cash
to pay our bills before leaving a
city." Hanley, who is also known to
police as "Kid" Howard and Thomas

Nine persons were killed

Although the number of murders,
