MANY DE4D IN MINE W. D. ROPER, OF SOUTH CAROLINA AMONG MISSING. MANY STRICKEN HOMES Ono Hundred and Five Lives Snuffed Out by Terrific Explosion in Oklalioma Coal Mine, Only Eleven, so Far as Known, Escaping of Those in (he Mine, One hundred and five lives is accepted as an approximately correct estimate of the human toll taken Wednesday morning, when .Mine No. 2, of the Sail ilois Coal Company at McCurtain, Okla., was wrecked by an ? explosion. Of the 13 6 men of the day shift, only eleven are known to ho alive, while the others are entombed behind the debris. In the opinion of Government experts and mine officials, they are dead, and a special train which brought physicians and nurses from Fort Smith, Ark., returned Wednesday night. Five physicians remained, with the faint hope that some of the Imprisoned men might be found alive. Among those unaccounted for are a surveying party, headed by W. 1). Roper, of Clio, S. C., forty-three Americans were employed in the mine. The explosion occurred shortly after 9 o'clock Wednesday morning. Those on the surface heard a ? faint rumble and an earth tremor. When those yearest to the mouth of the mines reached the opening a cloud of dust and smoke belched forth. Then came tense moments of waiting for those in the mine to emerge. Frank Fields, a miner, was the first to stagger out. lie was walking in an entry and heard the explosion, lie said. He jumped into a w side room and the explosion passed k and he made his way to the mine opening. Nine other miners escaped through a manway. A systematic search of the wrecked mine began early Wednesday night under the direction of Government experts and up to 9 o'clock five bodies had been recovered and 3 5 others located. At that hour the rescuers had reached the eleventh level, but hero their progress was retarded by a mass of coal, earth and twisted timbers. The explosion occurred shortly after 9 o'clock Wednesday morning, and, according to an official statement of owners of the property, about one hundred men were employed in the mine. Whether gas or coal dust caused the explosion has not been determined. Eight of the men who escaped alive were at work in the mule stables and made their way to tho surface through the passage used for the cars. The first party of volunteers to enter the mine at noon found five others badly injured in a wrecked entry. Mayor Bourland, of Fort Smith, has issued an appeal for aid for tho families of the victims. Heartrending scenes were enacted at the mine opening, where hundreds of women and children had gathered. Throughout the afternoon, k toSHo rncr>ina wnrlf \vj\S linltod Jiwait w ? lng the arrival of mine experts from the Government station at McAIeater, Okla., they remained about the opening. Practically every home in the camp has one or more members buried in the mine. The systematic work of penetrating the mine began early Wednesday night, and the first of the half hundred rescuers, who are working in relays, brought four bodies out of the mine. The bearers of the bodies passed between rows of gricfEtricken relatives who clamored for a view of tho dead. The bodies were blackened and burned and practically unrecognizable. Confusion was so great that it was impossible to determine definitely their identity. At eight o'clock it was reported that the rescuing party had found sixtoen more bodies which would bo brought out by midnight. This would bo tho last trip of the rescuing party into tho mine Wednesday night. Superintendent Brown stated that the force and extent of the explosion was such that only by the remotest possibility could any of tho entombed be alive. Tho mine machinory is operated by compressed air and there are three small pumps in different sections of the mine. Theso pumps exhaust pure air. If the foroe of tho explosion did not kill all of tho men, there Is a re} mote chance that some of them are jj[ being kept alive bfBfcheso frosh currents. To this ono slim chance the relatives and friends of the entomb ?> ed men cling with pitiful hope and I prav. The cause of th explosion resulted, according to mine experts, from either accumulated gas or coal dust. The San Bois property Is owned by the Fort Smith and Western Railroad Company. Hits at Gambling Too. ; By a vote of 66 to 21, the lower branch of the General Assembly of Virginia recently passed the Stepheneon anti-gambling MIL GIVE THEM GOOD NAME WITNESSES SAY ANSEL'S BOARD WAS ALL EIGHT. + Legislative Dispensary Committee Holds Session Thursday and Adjourn to Meet April 10. The Legislature's committee Investigating the Ansel wind-up commission, the Attorney General and any other persons connected with the Stato dispensary started the third week of its hearings Thursday morning. Several witnesses were sworn, but no testimony of a startling nature was produced. W. M. Edwards, at one time editor of The Fairfield News, of ltldgeway, who it had been said had published a statement that James Far1111111 paid a large sum, in addition to his $5,000 fine in the settlement of eases against him for graft, was first sworn, but he denied having publislid any such statement. Henry Samuels, a liquor dealer, who had been indicted for giving rebates to directors of the dispensary, testified that ho had paid to Director Wiley some eight to twelve thousand dollars as inducement for liquor orders. Col. B. L. Abney, of Columbia, an attorney, testified as to his part in the graft prosecutions, ho having assisted the Attorney General, lie - - - ' ? i. _ o spoke in high terms or mo worn ui the Ansel commission and said he considered the members all conscientious and faithful men and that he knew nothing of the charges made by the Governor. W. O. Tatum, at one time commissioner of the dispensary, in charge of the stock of the dispensary, was a witness. lie told of the enormous whiskey shipments received at the dispensary and of his remonstrating with the directors. Ho said, however, that shipments continued to pour in. The committee adjourned until April 10. The Please commission is expected to report on April 2S. The committee was created to investigate the Ansel commission, the Attorney General and other persons connected with the dispensary. It is not to wind the affairs of the State dispensary; this, by a new law, is devolved upon the Attorney General. It is the desire of the committee to make the investigation as nonpartisan as possible and to this effect every possible witness will be summoned. The Hleasc commission will be summoned later. WIPES OPT NINE LIVES. Explosion Kills Two Families and Damage Twenty Houses. In a gas explosion, caused, it is thought, by mine settlings, nine persons were killed and two injured Wednesday in Dumore Pa. Two " ? *i'" nftmtM.iQiiiof t wn wrtni on find I aiillll^'S, kUiuiu laiUQ V " " ? seven children, were either blown to pieces in the explosion, or burned in the fire that followed and destroyed three houses. More than twenty dwellings near the scene of the explosion were badly damaged by the concussion and the Hying timbers, and scores of persons were thrown out of their beds and bruised. During the past week, mine settlings in the neighborhood of the Cavella home caused alarm. Only a few days ago the cellar dropped out of a house on tho opposite side of the street and several miners climbed to tho surface on ladders let down by tho women of tho house. The Dumoro police, after an investigation of tho explosion, say that gas from a broken main, caused probably by the mine settlings, found its way into tho cellar of tho Cavella home, where it gathered in a dense volume and exploded when it came in contact with an oil lamp that was burning in tho house. DEIJUKED TEDDY KOOSEVELT. ? Democrats riea.sed With tho ltcsulr in North Dakota. Tho Washington correspondent of The News and Courier says while tho Taft people are smiling with satisfaction over the result of the Presidential primary In North Dakota * 1 ? " i- AW.UUHM ! iuesnay 1110 uuiiiociuih uto uiiiiuiutj roars of laughter. North Dakota's utterance Is a stunning rebuke to Col. Roosevelt and at the same time the Taft vote was practically nothing. Mr. Taft's control of the Chicago Convention seems assured, but his chances of election are steadily dwindling. The whole situation appears to have been arranged especially for the success of the Democratic party In the campaign. In spite of their present denials, it is well known In Washington that Uoosovelt's managers were confidently counting on North Dakota to turn tho tide of battlo in their favor and it Is amusing to see them hoist with their own petard. LaFolletto has Rhown that he can hit back if he can't bo nominated. w m You may safely set that person down as low bred or ignorant who speaks slightingly of women, the homo or sacred things. ? l m<f? < - I 0? - - - -- ' A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT TIIKEE PEOPLE KILLED BY OOLLAPSE OP STOKE. Two Ladies and One Little Cirl the Victims of a Most Distressing Accident at Wadesboro. A special to the News and Courier { from Wadesboro, N. C., says at eleven o'clock Wednesday morning the walls of the Parsons Drug Company's . store, a two-story brick structure standing on the public squaro of that citv, crashed with a loud noiso and carried a number of men and women beneath the ruins, killing at least three of them instantly. The dead are little Virginia May Covington, oldest daughter of Dr. and Mrs. J. M. Covington, Jr.; Miss Marian and ? Miss Dora Little, daughters of Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Little, all of Wadesboro. Mrs. J. M. Covington and her . daughter-in-law, Mrs. J. M. Coving ton, Jr., and little Virginia May and Mrs. L. D. Robinson were seated at a table in tlio corner of the store with the'Misses Little when the crash ' came. When the bystanders realized what had happened they rushed in regardless of their own lives and succeeded in bringing out the two Mes- , dames Covingtons and Mrs. Robinson. The little girl was found pinned beneath the heavy timbers, dead. No trace of the Misses Little was found until a great part of the debris had been removed. During the time the men worked like demons and in an hour the body of Miss Lora was found. It was several hours later before the body of Miss Marian was located and taken from the ruins. All the dead belonged to prominent families. It is feared that the elder Mrs. Covington cannot live. Her lower jawbone is broken on both sides; her left arm is broken and she is suffering from internal injuries. Mr. Fred Parsons, a stockholder of the wrecked store, remained in it until after the - ~ t-? *-? * '1 1* /vl 4- /-v t? 1 > > n? All f t R A I'l ttSU illiu licipcu IU U1 liif, \J ?.? ?. U1Q three ladies. Mr. VV. M. Morton, a customer, camo out of the ruins with one of the ladles. Many heroic acts were done and every effort made to rescue the unfortunate ones. The building belonged to Dr. W. J. McLendon and was being remodelled. The cause of the wreck was excavations being made underneath, and the wet weather probably effected the walls. The building was worth $5,000, and the loss to the drug iompany's stock is about $5,000. SIXTY WITH PTOMAINE POISON. Improperly Treated Milk Causes Much Sickness. A cpeclal dispatch f?*om Darlington to The News and Courier says there were about sixty cases of ptomaine poison in town Tuesday night occasioned by milk that had been improperly treated. Quite a number of them still being treated by physicians. Several members of the "Buster Brown" troupe were too 111 to leave town Wednesday. The daily rrom wiucn tno nniK came is one oi the best in the State, and it Is not likely that there will bo any further cause for complaint. ? . . . Jump OfT Water Tank.
