L BB T I PASHED an Explosion in Two West Yirginia Collierics. Disaster Likely to Turn Out the -Worst in the History of American Mining. CAUSE AS YET UNKNOW First Explosion Occurred in Mine No. 6 and Was Followed by a Similar Disaster in No. 8 on the Opposite Side of the Monongatela River, the Two Workings Being Connected:— Fairmont, W. Va., Dec. 7.—The ex- plosion of coal dust in mines Num- bers 6 and 8 of the Consolidation Coal company of Baltimore, located on op- posite sides of the Monongahela river at Monongah, six miles from here, re- sulted in what, from present reports, is indicated to be the worst disaster in the history of the ‘coal mining in- dustry of America. The most conservative ~ reports place the number of men entombed by the explosion at 300 and nearly all estimates, including those of most of the coal company officials, place the number at least 500. Some estimates place the number even higher. About 1,000 miners are employed in the two workings and most of them, it is said, had entered the mine before the ex- plosion occurred. Mining experts, a large corps of physicians and others familiar with mining matters hold out practically no hope to waiting friends that a single person in the mine at the time of thé explosion has escaped death. The town .of Monongah has a pop- ulation of about 6,000 and while for the most part the miners are of for- i elgn birth there are still many Amer- ican workmen. Possibly the largest steel tipple in the state is located at Monongah. The mines are both shaft and slope mines, being worked by the rope and haulage system. The coal company is one of the largest com- panies of the kind in the country and is capitalized at about $20,000,000. This accident is said to be the first wherein a loss of life occurred by explosion in the history of the region The third number of the Lyceum? comprising some sixty mines, owned Course under the auspices of . the Ladies’ Aid Society of the Presby- terian church, will be the “Lucy- DeBoua Combination,” at the City Opera House 'Wednesday evening, Dec. 11. The program will consist of readings, costumed impersona- tions, crayon sketches, and .singing recitations (with harp accompan ments),harp solos, etc. Danger in Asking Adivce When you have a cough or cold do not ask some one what is good for it, as there is danger in taking some unknown preparation.

Business Dépression "Recovers, Boston, Dec. .—Signs of recovery from the business depression which started several weeks ago are being felt in all parts of New England by the resuming- of operations in the mills which were shut down or which shortened their working hours and in the lessened numbering of curtail- ments and closings. Judge Reserves Decision. Buffalo, N, Y., Dec. .—Judge: Hazel, In the United States court, reserved decision upon a motion to make per- manent the temporary injunction granted by him restraining the switch- men of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Rallroad company from striking. ; and operated by the Consolidation Coal company. Berryburg mine, forty miles south, a tributary company to the Consolida- tion company, was visited by an ex- plosion less than two years ago and nineteen men lost their lives. No. 8 mine was opened only two years ago -and was considered the most modern mine in every respect in Central West Virginia. It was en- tirely equipped with electricity and considered absolutely safe. Electric motors were used exclusively, while the mine throughout was electrically lighted and mining machines, driven by this fluid, were used entirely.
