About half of the minors were negroos,
having been brought from the cast four
years ago to replace the strikers. The
mlneis owned by the Oregon Improve-
ment company and produces the best coal
in the state of Washington. The damage
to the mine is not large.
Fought Fire For Their Lives.
Fire was first noticed by some of the
drivers on the sixth north level, and no-
tion was given to the men Inside who
were working the different places, as It
was known there was a fire. Many of the
men rushed back to notify the miners
fartherin, while others rushed out and
reached the main shaft. It In certain that
all the man In the breast reached the gang-
way in safety.
In all about 70 men were at. work In
tho sixth level north, and of that number
about. it) lingered at breast as, where the
lireoriglnated, and made an attempt to
put out the fire. The breast was burning
fiercely, and before the miners knew it
the fire had communicated to breasts iii)
and (ii, and smoke began to Issue from
breast III. in that Immediate vicinity.
Several of those who had lingered at the
burned breast 6‘: took warning and find,
but all who remained were overcome and
asphyxiatcd. it Is evident that all the men
had time to come out, for those who
worked In the farther breast reached the
shaft in safety, while those who were
nearest the shaft and consequently were
removed from the danger perished. 'i‘hcy
evidently believed thcy were In perfect
safety from the fire. but while they lin-
gcrcd smoke oozed out from outside places
further south. and the bodies Were all
found south of breast as. They were all
found within a space of and foot,
Several men were badly bruised, and
one colored man was taken out with a
broken neck. thclr wounds Indicating
that they had thrown themselves against
posts and timbers of the gangway In a
wild and dvsperatc endeavor to escape.
But the majority of the bodies bear no
marks at all. not even a scratch. and their
features were In quiet mpusv, Indicating
that their death had been a speedy and
painless one.
At the Pin: Mouth.
As soon as the alarm whistle sounded
from the engine house people began to
crowd around the mouth of the slope. and
the cry, “The wine is on fire!" quickly
spread throughout the town. Among the
first to roach the scene was Superintend-
ent liamwy. The first to volunteer was
George Smallcy. a ncgro. who, with two
others, was loworod down the l,lUlI foot
slope to the sixth level. There they met
men from the sixth level south, who were
doing all they could to rescue men from
the north cud. Others went down from
the surface and found the body of the first
man In the gangway about 1,000 feet in
from tho slow.
The body was that of John Q. Ander-
son and was pulled totha top of tho slopo.
its arrIVaI on the surface was the first In-
tlnlatlon to the men, women and children
there that any can had been killed. Con-
sthuantiy when the body cattle up thcro
was a wild scramble to discover Its iden-
Iity. Meanwhile the minors from the
other levels were carrying on the work of
“mono In the mine. The fish keeping air
in the mine had been stopped at the first
‘lliiil‘liiififl of fire, but when the rescuers
Went. to work the fan was started again.
M. It. Storey. one of the rescuers who
mm In from the surface, protruded along
the sixth gangway after finding the first
body. Then the first of the unicorn were
found scattcrmi along in a row. At one
place eight men were lying together. and
in anotherchc man was found under a
mule. live mules In all being dead.
Emmy says that the men were all lying
In the middle of the gangway, with their
hair in the mud, as if they had tried to
burr their heads compictcly and thus ss-
rspo the smoke and gas. He could not be
licve they were dead and turned them
over so they could breathe. He was soon
satisfied, however. that they were really
dead. Nearly all the bodies Wore found
south of the burning breast.
amour- Worked Like 11er
John C. Surrey. brother of M. D. Star.
ey. was at work In the sixth level south
when a boy named Chapman gave the
alarm that breast fill win on fire.
_ storey says he tried to escape via the
Green rim or auxiliary slope, but finding
fi. impossible its mind, making up
mind that he mm as out rls‘ths
was kill“! lutwo minutes.
Among the Main: party from the
south sixth level was John E. Jones, a
gas tester, who is. now numbered among
the dead. His boy. Evan Jones, is also
dead, The bodies of father and son were
lying side by side, showing that the father
had reached his son, but was too late, and
both died.
As the bodies began to arrive at the sur-
face cf the mine slope the excitement of
the wives and mothers, and, for that mat
ter, the whole populace, become almost
uncontrollable. When the last of the 37
bodies was brought out, they began to
quiet 60wn. Many of them were com.
plately prostrated by their violent grief.
mason ’ ileum My
Superintendent Ramsey, In speaking of»
the disaster, said: "As soon as the alarm
was sounded the man working at the fan
on top of the hill noticed smoke coming
from the air course and not knowing the
cause immediately shut down the fan.
They did just what they should have done,
and had the miners not lingered so long
at the fire trying to put it out they would
have all been saved, but the smoke sur-
rounded them, and before they were aware
of it they were overpowered and smother-
cd. ”
Their Fatal Delay.
All those who were 200 and 800 feet up
in the breast had time to climb down to
the gangway, [and some of them escaped.
One who stopped with the others In breast
2, seeing the danger he was in, started to
run for the main slope, shouting to his
companions: “Come on! You will not
get out!” But they lingered, and five
minutes later 37 men were dead.
As soon as the dead arrived at the sur~
face Superintendent Ramsey had another
party carry them to the old engine room,
there to lay them out in rows on the liner.
The sight chilled tho people with horror.
Thirty-seven men without ascratch lying
dead was indeed a horrible sight.
The few who escaped were greeted with
great demonstrations of joy on reaching
the surface. All Is quiet in the town.
Tomorrow all the dead will be buried.
The origin of the fire is supposed to be
due to spontaneous combustion, caused
by refuse and screenings In the bottom
of the breast catching fire. It Is aug-
gcstod that possibly the fire had been
burning for some time, and from a smol-
dering blaze it all at once became a barn-
lng fire. The breast is about 300 foot high
and is now all on fire. The fire has also
communicated to breasts fill and III of the
same level and the fifth level is threaten-
ed. It is believed with tho active measures
which will at once be taken that in three
months the fire will have become com-
pletely extinguished.
l’ntrsi Mine Explosion.
Asmara), l‘a., Aug. 2o.—Two men
were killed and 11 injured by an explo-
sion of gas in the .GIlbcrton colllcry near
this city.

badly burned; Enoch Finglc, Gilbcrton,
aged lti, badly burned; John Kestor, seri-
ously burnt-d. '
The explosion was primarily caused by
a fall of cord which become dislodged by
the mining operations. This released an
Immense volume of gas and at the same
time forced it along the gungways ton
distance of more than 1,000 yards, stifling
and choking tho minorsns it swept along.
Finally it reached a gang of minors who
were working with naked lumps and in
itautly ignited.
An explosion which shook the earth
and was heard by the people in their
homes followed. Flames and smoke burst
from the mouth of the pit. and inside and
out there were scenes of frantic terror.
The imprisoned and hurtling minors for-
got their pain In an agony of terror, and
their wives and children rushed to the
acetic. shrieking with fear and despair.
Rescuing parties were quickly organ-
lzcd, and the men wore brought to the
surface as rapidly as possible. A tempo-
tary hospital was erected and medical at-
tendance procured, the injured being re-
moved either to their homes or to perina-
nont hospitals as soon as their sufferings
were somewhat alloviated.

TRIED SUICIDE WHEN ARRESTED.
Ills Associates In Crime, Who Are Ils-

Him With Plotting Iliuy Murders—Set
the llamrnondsport l'lrss.
Bocaasran. Aug. 25. -— Twenty-year-
old Edward Folsom is locked up in the
Steuben county jail at Bath on charges
of Incendlsrism, attempted train wreck-
ing, bank burglary, forgery and plotting
to murder. Before being arrested the
youth made two desperate attempts to
take his own life.
Bishop Daniels and Frank Hazard. two
men about It) years older than Folsom,
were his pals in nearly all of the lawless
deeds. and they are the ones that caused
his arrest by turning stam‘s evidence.
Daniels swears in his affidavit that Folsom
set fire to 11 houses with his help, and
that be aided the youth to wreck the late
passenger train on the Bath and Ham-
mondsport read last Friday night. A rail
was placed across the track, but fortu-
nately the train was not dorailcd.
Three Bank Robberies Attempted.
Folsom told Daniels that he wanted to
get hurt in the accident that was expected
to follow, so that he could collect his so-
cident Insurance policy. Three attempts
were made to rob the Ilallcck bank In
Bath, and a plot was gotten up between
the three outlaws to kill Henry C. Ains-
worth, so that the keys to the Institution
could be had. The man waited to way-
lay the cashier. but he did not pass along
the road. as was expected. Twice the bank
was broken Into, but the burglars were
frightened away.
Daniels tookvAinsworth into his confl-
dcncc. and the cashier, with officers. lay
In wait for the third attempt to be made
to crack the safe. Folsom saw the door
into the president's private office open,
and suspecting that there was a watch-
man In the building did not attempt to
force an entrance. Daniels and Hazard
both cashed forged drafts at the bank for
Folsom. Hazard makes affidavit that he
was offered Sill to fire the county build-
Ings. so that the records which were de-
rogatory to his Interests would burn. He
also offered Daniels five gallons of wins if
he would put llunt out of the way. Haz-
ard says that he refused outright to oom«
mIt murder. It was Foisorn‘s opinion
that if llunt were killed the keys to the
county buildings could be secured, and
that papers could easily be destroyed.
'l'wenty‘flvo houses have been destroyed
by fire in Hathmcudaport during the past
two months, and Daniels and Hazard say
that Folsom is responsible for all of them.
In some Instances they aided him in firing
the dwellings and blocks that were born
ad. (July the first part of this week five
houses, four barns and a mill were do-
strcycd. The people of the village were
so frightened that the members of many
families were afraid to go to bed of nights.
('ut Ills ‘I‘hront.
Last September Folsom oiopml with and
marrit-d tho lTryear-old daughter of
George Keclcr, one of liammondsport’s
wealthiost men. The father was very an-
gry, but the girl refused to come back.
.\n attempt Is being made to declare the
marriage void, as the ceremony was per-
formcd by a minister who but been de
claret! Insane.
Armed with several warrants, Constable
S. llunlcy wont to arrest Folsom. Ha;
found the youth at his home. When the
oilicor stated his mission, Folsom ox-
claimcd: "Arrest me? No. Never. if
that dud Daniels has poached on me, he
ought to be hung, but I‘ll never be taken
alive."
Then Folsom grabbed a knlfc and drew
It. across his threat. The officers tried to
Interfere, but Folsom cut his thrust in a
frightful manner. Then he ran from the
house to a pond back of Main sin-at and
throw himself In the water. lie had hard
work trying to stay under. as the water is
but three fact deep, but he clung to the
stones In the bottom of the pond and was
nearly drowm-d when he was pulled out.
The dcspcrado is new lodged in the jail,
where a watch is kept over him. There
is some talk of lynching Folsom, for the
scores of lawsuits who have been made
homeless by the numerous Ilrcs are or
