~“eharges for the fiscal year, which end.d Tee front im Manhattan were thrown ONLY 46 ESCAPED OUT OF “ZOD IN THE HANNA MINE, Workings Are Still Ablaze Still to Recover the Bodies of the Ablaze and Efforts Dead Are Futile—Wives and Relatives of the Missing Bemoan at the Pit Mouth All Night. HANNA, Wyo., women and children are besieging the entrance to Mine No. 1 of the Union Pacific Coal Company, and the acenes of grief and fear for husbands and fathers are indescribable. Of the 24 men killed In the explo- sion In the mine the bodles of only two have been recovered. For those who realize the fate of the men Imprisoned in the mine there Is no consolation, Many’ women have re- mained at the shaft all night, their cries of anguish being heartrending. Of the men killed 100 were Finlanders, 60 negroes and the rest Americans. About 160 were married and had families. At the time of the explosion there were 280 men in the mine. Only forty- aix of these escaped allve. It 1s now belleved that the mine ts} on fire In rooms at the No. 4 entrance, only a few hundred feet from the sur- face. Driven Back by Gas. E. S. Brooks, the mine superintendent, and. William Pascoe, stable boss, tered soon after the explosion, but were overcome by gas at the fourth level and were dragged out barely in tme to eave their lives. The mine is more than 6,000 feet deep, and has miles of workings. At the seventeenth level sixty-five men were employed. The underground stables were also on this level, and forty-five mules were kept there. July 1—Hundreds of 7 en- | A party of five men entered the mine from an airshaft half a.mile from the main entrance and- succeeded in get- Ung in about three-fourths of a mile. They found many dead bodies of men and mules, some of them having been blown to pieces. ‘The gas became xo strong that the party could not re- turn without assistance, They were pulled out by others who had followed them, Death to Those Who Enter. Many of the air shafts and passages were obstructed by the walls caving in, From thelr investigation they say ht Is useless to try to bring the bodies of the men to the surface at this time. ‘The mine js filled with gas, and it | means deat to any one who enters. Until alr Is forced through the mine no one can go far into it. It is believed that the explosion oc- curred at the very bottom of the mine, and that its force was spent before reaching the top. Those not killed by | the expolsion were suffocated by the gas It liberated. The Hanna mines, which were started in 1878, are among the best on the Union | Pavific system. ‘The town was named | for Senator Mark Hanna when he was irector of the Union Pacific Company. | It ts sald the mine has been recog- nized as a dangerous property for some | time on account of gas, but the system | of ventilation has been so good that an ‘ necident was not anticipated. NEW WONDER IS TELECHIROGRAPH| Inventor Exhibits a Machine That Will Supplant Telegraph Operators and Enable One to Write by ’Phone. A machine by which one's hanawriting may be transmitted by a telephone wire 4s the invention of E..Karl Gruhn, of Dresden, Germany, and 1s now being ex- hibited at the offices of J. B. Crosby, No. & Broadway. It is called the telechirograph, but it Is in fact merely a greatly Improved form of telautograph, ‘This instrument differs from telauto- graphs heretofore Invented in that the power required for this instrument 18! much less than that needed for oiners| doing the same thing, his machine | @iso does not require the se.vices of an operator wielding a stencil at the re- celving end, The inventor says that his scheme hag been tried between Dresden and Berlin and gave complete satistaction.

Which tr COAL HIGHER AND THE TRUST RICHER, Earnings Gigger Than Ever, Despite the Losses Incurred in the Big Strike. It was officially announced yesterday that the anthracite coal companies wi!! advance the price of coal 10 cents a tor on July 1, making the price for tiv various grades as follo Broken coal. Ese Btcve Nut .. All of this is a part of the plan re: cently adopted by the Coal Trust to force dealers to lay in their supply dur- fing the summer months, or eariler in the season. During May a discount of 40 cents from the circular prices was allowed purchasers. During June a dis- ecunt of 30 cents was allowed, for July the ‘diszount will be reduced to 20 cents and in August to 10 cents. After Sep- tember the full circular prices will have to be paid, which will mean that those ‘who do not buy their coal until Septem- ber will have to pay 20 cents a ton more than the above table of prices, It'is safe now to calculate that the Reading will earn a surplus over all 34.55 + 4.80 4 cooling dip.

TO INVESTIGATE HOUSE OF REFUGE Odell Demands that Charges of Improper Treatment Be In- vestigated and Writes to Alexander E. Orr. Gov. Odell has called upon Alex- ander E. Orr, President of the Board of Managers of the House of Refuge for Children on Randall's Island, to inves- tigate thoroughly the charges that chil- dren confined in the institution are In- suMctently fed and badly clothed. In his letter he called attention to the fact that neither he nor State officials have power to remove employees of the House of Refuge, because of the fact that the Institution ts really a private one, to which the State and city con- tribute. He called attention to. the re- port of Inspector Robert W. Hill, of tne State Board of Charities, which shows that In face of an increasing population the food allowance for the children has been materially decreased within the last two years, The Inspector says in his re- port that not only is the food allowance smalier, but that it 1s not up to the proper standard. “The allowance made by the city of New York in 1900 and 1901 was $19,546.98 and $18,868.75 respectively, and in the years 1902 and 1903 $6,060," the Governor writes, “It will be seen from the above atatement that a decrease tn the ap- propriation resulted from the fallure of the city of New York to contribute ite usual proportion.” The Governor gives frures to show that the Ht treatment of the that the per capfta in the Randall's compared with 82% at the State Industrial School, where effic’ fe attained, Ing and hun- r among these es has bees ted," the Governor writes, "I shoulg be glad to be advised of It by those hay- Ing official responsibility, and I can as- sure you that nothing would stand in the way of a quick response, so far as T am concerned,” ——— Equally Dangeroan, (Prom the Chicago Tribune.) “There 1s a rumor that Scad fn financial difficulties.”” ts tie the matter?

Do vou realize that things were radically different only four vears ago? And then the Wayxamaker Piano business began to be felt in New York City. With it came the One-Price System. With it came the Club plan of easy monthly payments, without increase of price. With it vanished all doubt and uncertainty—all the old mystery that was formerly the bugaboc of piano-buy- ing. C With it eventually came The Frederick Doll Piano at $185 It had always been possible to get a thoroughly good piano if you were willing to pay the largest price, and rely on well-proven names; but the moment one started to try to make a moderate amount of money secure a good piano, the trouble and danger began. Our experts spen’ two years of work among manufac- turers in studying and planning to produce pianos of thor- ough excellence at a moderate price. And the successful outcome of that endeavor has proven of the broadest pub- lic benefit: to musical people who wanted a good piano at reasonable cost, The Frederick Doll piano is first of all an instrument of clear, mellow tone, accurately scaled. There are no short- comings such as are almost universal in other pianos at or near its price. It possesses tone and action that satisfies the musical ear and touch, Then the Colonial cases have the thoroughly artistic finish that pleases people of particular taste. Few pianos at any price are more refined in style. ‘Those who do not wish to pay cash for a piano will be interested in knowing that they can arrange to pay for a Frederick Doll piano on the easy terms of $10 Cash and $6 a Month Buying at the same price, $185, and paying only at the low rate of 4 per cent. per annum on the unpaid part, A new group of these excellent pianos has just arrived from the factory.
