AT WORK SOME DISTANCE FRQM THE POINT WHERE THE EXPLOSION OCCURRED.. Bluefield, W. Va., Jan. 6.—Twenty- three bodies, five whites and eighteen negroes, have been removed from the Coaldale mine, where a terrific explo- sion of mine gas caused heavy loss of life and property. It was at first supposed there were but twenty-one men in the mine at the time of the explosion, but as the regular working force is seventy-five men it was im- possible to tell the exact number in the mine until a rescuing party com- pleted its search. . ! The rescue work was carried on nearly all night, the rescuers being able to enter the mines at 2 a. m. An hour later they succeeded in locat- ing and rescuing the bodies of eleven of the victims. Mine Boss Williams, who at the time of the explosion was nearly a mile away, suffered from the concus: sion and was almost overcome by the dust. and gases before he could reach a place of safety, The greater num- ber of the victims were working some little distance from the point where the explosion occurred and were foung to have been suffocated. The explosion was of terrible force and caused great excitement in the surrounding country, many believing an earthquake had occurred. The damage to the mine is very heavy. ACTION AGAINST BOSTON BANK Institution Holds Deposits of Factory Employes. Boston, Jan, 6.—Action upon the re- ceivership petition”brought by the sav ings bank examiners against the Prov- ident Security and Banking company, which was flled Thursday, was de ferred until next Wednesday by Judge Braley of the Massachusetts supreme court. The case came up, but on rep- resentations of S. K. Hamilton, coun- sel for the bank, who said that the right of the examiners to ciose the institution was doubtful, the case was permitted to go over. A temporary in- Jjunction restraining the company from doing business pending a hearing granted by the court Thursday, re mained in force. In connection with the case Assist ant County Attorney de Golsh in formed the court that the company had total assets of a par value of $609,707, of which about $2,000 or 000 was in cash and the remainder curities of doubtful value. The com: positors, he said. The cffices of the bank on Frankiin sireet are closed. Hundreds of factory employes at Lynn had deposits in the bank. At Brockton there are nearly 2,000 de positers. Their deposits range from 81 to $250, the average being e mated at about §5. Most of the depc itors are minors, including hundreds of girls employed in the stores and sho: lactories.

MINNE HISTORICAL Jane! shell the towns and vill SOTA ' TEN €ENTS PER WEEK MAY AROUSE POPULACE FEARED RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT IS CARRYING POLICY OF RE- PRESSION TOO FAR. ARTILLERY EWPLOYED MERCILESSLY INTOLERABLE SYSTEM OF PER- SONAL ESPIONAGE PRACTI- CALLY RESTORED. St. Petersburg, Jan. 6.—The govern-. ment’s victory over the revolutionists has been quite decisive, although open revolt continues in many places in the interior. Artillery is employed mercilessly and the movement is grad- ually being stifled. These. fires af re- volt, however, are.smothered but are not extinguished and the main fear is that the government, encouraged by success, will fall into the very error of which the revolutionists were guilty and attempt to press its advantage too far. Aiready there are signs that the policy of repression may he carried to a point which is sure to again arouse the resentment and discentent of the classes which shrank from the violent programme of the “reds.” In St. Pe- tersburg, for instance, the wholesale perquisitions of the ‘veolice have heem succeeded by a p“ficmatly offensive measure of the prefect of police which practically gives the house porters a free hand to search private lodgings for arms and suspicious persons for documents, offering them a premium of 50 cents for the discovery of every revolver or homb and 25 cents for a- knife, Such a measure naturally will arouse the cupidity of the house por- ters and restore the intolerable sys- tem’ of personal espionage which was in vogue at the time of the late In- terior Minister von Plehve. Two wings of the Social Demogratic party have now joined the workmen’s organization in declaring that they will boycott the elections to the na- tional assembly.. The. Social Deme. crats have adopted a series of reso- lutions -instructing-the members of so- cialist organizations not to participate in the “police elections,” but to take every advantage of such freedom of meeting as may be allowed them to discuss the elections and preach the extension of the doctrine of armed - revolt for the purpose of completely overthrowing the present government.” PUTTING DOWN REBELLION, Villages in Courland Are Shelled by Artillery. Riga, Livonia, Jan. 6.—The energetic manner in which General Sollugub has inaugurated his governor general- ship is reassuring the German resi- dents somewhat and there is less talk of abandoning their property interests in the Baltic provinces. resumption of railroad trafic is in progress., Two trains are sent from Riga daily. Governor General Sélio gub has announced that he is willing to accede to the economic demands of the railroad employes, but he abso- lutely refuses to consider any political demands. The railroad men who have been obstructing traffic are being ar- rested as fast as found. Among them is the assistant stationmaster. The revolutionists during the day killed two more policewmen here in broad day- light, making the number for the last toree months twenty-eight, » The devasiation of estates by the peasants in KEsthonia proceeds furi- ously. The authoritles are dispateh- expeditions with artillery ections. In Courland no own where revolutionary to surrender. The troops s. Several of the latter have been set on fire and completely destroyed. ing militar Many Casualties at Tukum. Tukum, Courland, Russia, Jan. 6.— Five hundred and eighty persons were killed or wounded during the present revolt here. FIVE GENERALS KILLED. { Further Details of the Fighting 2t Pu- - erto Plata.
