W > ? ' . ^ r -1*;- ... Cherry, 111.--Fir© fanned to fury "by the mistaken effort of the rescuers may have killed the faint hopes for the rescue of the men entolnbed in the St. Paul mine here as the result of a fire on the afternoon of Novem­ ber 13. " Rescuers were forced from the shafts and the mine is sealed at every opening. It will probably be days before relief can reach the men below. Water foiled the fire fighters at the moment they had mastered the flames. No pumps were on hand and in des­ peration the conference of experts or­ dered every opening closed. Panic ruled the miners' families when they learned of the new disaster. Revived Fire Added Calamity. Not only have 60 precious hoars been lost, but the revived fire is an added calamity no leas serious than the first one. Diagreements have arisen among the officials over the methods of res­ cue work. President A. R. Newsam of the state mining board wanted the mine sealed two days. He was over­ ruled by the conference of inspectors and owners. Others think that every miner below watt killed when the mine was sealed. The number of the missinfe is still uncertain. Officers of the miners' union place it- at 384. Th$ company claims it is but 250. Eleven * brave men were roasted alive in a vain attempt at rescue. Out of 565 lhlners, according to the mine records, who were lowered into the mine in the morning 181 were saved, many of them by the small but heroic band of rescuers, who persisted in their efforts until they themselves' perished. The elaborate ventilating machinery which poured life-giving oxygen Into the levels 500 feet below the surface was burned out, cutting off practically all, chance for life 8hafts Scaled; Last Hope Qone. Even the slender chance that ̂ the men entombed might yet be rescued was lost by the sealing of both shafts of the mine for the purpose ol smoth­ ering the flames. This last step was taken only after vain efforts had been made to conquer the flames by pouring tQns oi water down the main shaft. Gave Lives In Scprn of Death. Tbe eleven heroic rescuers who died were: John Bundy, manager of the second vein; Robert Clark, miner; Tom Flood, Tuiuca, III., mine foreman; Do- mirtiek Fermento of Cherry, III., gro­ cery clerk; Jaritet Jamison of Cherry, HI., miner; Ike Lewis of Cherry, III., liveryman; Alexander Nourberg, mine manager of third veil*.; James Shears, miner; Harry Stewart, miner; John Szarbinski, alderman; Joseph Yearley of 8pring Valley, miner. In order to determine' If puaatbie whether there were any living: beings in the mine the shaft was unsealed and a large sized iron .bucket was The coal-scuttle hat which has been 4lerlded as a thing uuaesthetic served • utilitarian purpose when it saved a woman's life in a Wisconsin town by fheddisg io her shoulder a brick that fell from the fourth story of # build­ ing. The incident shows what might be made of the hat. if beauty is to be ignored, and the qualities of the fire- man's helmet cultivated. The news items embrace a shooting in mistake for a deer; the probable loss of two young hunters in the **north woods:" and the finding of the feet and shoes of a man who was eaten by wild animals while out hunt­ ing. These are warnings of the dan­ gers of the chase which merely give sest to the sport of the true hunter, but they should admonish care, never­ theless. during the season which is at hand. HOW THE HEROES DIED Mi The report of the automobile acci­ dent by which two men were billed near Mlnneoia, L. I., says that the vehicle was going "at a moderate rate of speed" at the time, and goes on to relate that the two victims of the accident bad their skulls crushed by being thrown over the front of the automobile against the telegraph pole with which the vehicle collided. It la evident that tbe term "moderate •peed" has taken on a new meaning ^ice tlw advent of the motor vehicle. " In a paragraphic reference to tbe " USSIscoverer of New York's great river which appeared in these col­ umns he was spoken of as "Hendrlk" Hudson. A subscriber protests that he was an Englishman and that his name was Henry. Tbe subscriber is right. But the celebrated navigator wto for a time In tbe employ of Hol­ land and to hiB Knickerbocker friends be was always "Hendrik." which means the same thing as Henry and looks much quainter In print--a very tempting quality from the standpoint iMt the paragrapher. ; j . Wilbur Wright, the hero «jf many rful achievements tn #riatlon. asserts that the mlle-a-minute airship Jtts arrived. Of course airships have a wide track both sldeways> and up Niid' down, in which to move, but the probability 1b that the average per­ son traveling by the air line would be ifatisfled to go at a little lower rate * in the annals of the world's heroic cfceds few achievements are recorded more glorious than those accomplished by the 11 rescuers at the St. Paul mine before they themselves died. They saved 185 miners before their fate overtook them. 8ix times they Were lowered Into the burning mine. Leaving the cage they penetrated into the body of the mine, lifted up the miners as they found them, and sent them to the top, some jn the cage, but many, one by one, up the air shaft bound singly in p^airs. The first man was saved at 2:30. At 4:30 the man at the wheel of the hoist engine started the cage up on its seventh trip. It had been below four minutes, but no signal had been sent. The engineman, however, dared wait no longer. The car came up fast, bMt faster came a burst of fiame. The cage and the. flame came to­ gether to the level of the ground. But no one stepped from the cage. Ten of the eleven heroes already were dead. The eleventh, Tom Flood, still breathing, was dragged fromf the heap. He was able to articulftte a little. "The flame caught ue--" he gasped. Then he, too, was dead. lowered, but it was brought up to the surface empty. This bucket, which is large enough to hold several men, was dropped several times in the hope that some might be living and $je a|jle to crawl to it. Horror Price of N«gligen#|^ ^ If reports current heir are correct, some individual or individuals--prob­ ably one of the mine officials who later lost his life in attempting the rescue of his imprisoned workmen-- was negligent. Reports, which vary In their details, agree in the essential that^the fire started in some hay which had been lowered to the second level. The way in which the hay caught fire is said to be: A torch carried by Alex­ ander Rosejack, eager on duty at the second stage, exploded. Rosejack real­ ized his danger when the torch ex­ ploded and scattered boiling oil over the surroundings. He tried to put out the flames but was unsuccessful. The timbers were as dry as tinder and the fire communi­ cated to the stable and the hay. Thus the flames spread rapidly. James Hanney, a miner, 1s said to have reported fire in the mine at 1:30 o'clock, but no attention was paid to his report until the fire became so vio­ lent as to heat the mine. It was while the mine was warming ap that the few eurvivors, with the kid of the 11 rescuers, made their way to the sur­ face. The greater number of the 185 had escaped by leaving the mine at the noon hour--before the fire started. Brave Hearts Respond to Call. Smoke came out of the escape shaft at its mouth at ttffr o'clock in the af­ ternoon. The engineer in charge of tne cages failed to get up any signals from below to pull 'up. Then 12 men --Dr. Joshua Howe'of Cherry accom­ panied the rescuers in their first de­ scent -- volunteered to go into the mine to rescue the men below. Flood and Lewis were the first men to step forward and their comrades in the glorious exploit soon followed. They entered the cage of the down­ cast shaft and the engineer opened his throttle and dropped them ihe 500 feet into the earth as rapidly as h^e dared. There was a brief wait, wheh the slackened cable told that they had reached the bottom, and then a frantic signal to pull up. The cables sizzled on the drums until the cage with the rescutt party rose to the top of the smoking shaft. The rescuers were all there, but there were no rescued. The rescuers had failed to reach anybody and had rush­ ed back for air. Choke, Gasp, and Then Return. For a few minutes the brave men choked and gasped in the open. Then they re-entered the cake. Again the engineer stood at his levers and the cables hissed over the drums. Again .there was a short wait, another fran­ tic signal tb pull up/ For the second time the rescuers came to the top, this time with a number qi miners who were alive. Half stifled, with lungs parched and all but bursting, the rescuers returned to th« cage a third time, and for a third time made a descent into the pungent darkness of the mine. They found the Btables a furnace, hut the men they were trying to rescue had not reached the bottom of the shaft. So up they went to the air again with a load of rescued men and to gain breath for another battle with the mine. Strength of One Giyee Qli When the rescuer3 staggeted out of the cage for the third time Dr. Howe Was overcome by the heat and smoke. He recovered sufficiently to struggle to getv back into the cage for the fourth trial, but his companions, rec­ ognizing that his weakness had put him l»eyond usefulness, forced him back and went down alone to the heroic venture. Thiee other times the dauntless par­ ty returned to the fiery ordeal. After the sixth trip, which resulted in the finding of several upconsclouR format at the,second level, the rescu­ ers decided to make another trip to that vein. Resist Pleadings; Go to peath. In spite of the pleadings of the mine officials and the crowd that huddled around the mouth of the shaft the res­ cue party members remained firm in their grim determination. They said that many miners were lying uncon­ scious near the entrance of tbe ele- DISASTERS THAT HAVE H0RRiFliD?%0RLD •i."'.- •"**% Dead. 1901--Fratervllle, Tenn :.. 200 1902--Rolling Mill, Pa.. 10R 1903--Havana, Wyo...*.. 17$ 1904--Terrico, Cel. •>>.. 21 1905--Virginia City,.Ala. ...w>.. 152 190S--Zeigler, 111 35 1905.

China May Buy U. 8. War Goode. Washington.---Baron Liang, son Of Sir Chentung Liang-Cheng, former Chinese minister to the United States, will arrive in Washington soon at the head of an imperial Chinese commis­ sion dispatched to consider the ad­ visability of placing with American manufacturers orders for war muni­ tions and battleships amounting to $20,000 000 or more.

The big cafe containing the men who were to sacrifice their livss was quickly lowered down the shaft. It . stopped at the entrance of the eecond vein. For three minutes the engineer operating the elevator at the surface waited for the signal to hoist. It did not cpme. Realizing that some­ thing had happened the engineer quickly threw on the power. As the car. continued to rise down there In the narrow shaft the flames enveloped it and broiled tbe heroes within as bread is toasted in a kitchen utensil. The engineer, John Cowley, stood at his lever until the car was out at the top, but he hauled up not Hiring men but blistered corpses, . Reaches Open Air Only to Die. Every man was dead except one and he breathed his last five minutes after the cage came to the surface. He was Tom Flood, a mine vein manager. The elevator, it is believed, reached the second vein when the fire was be­ ginning to take hold of the shaft tim­ bers and the men were either burnedj or suffocated. Dr. L. D. Kowe, the regular mine physician, attempted to save Flood's life, but he was badly burned and died without regaining consciousness. Fan Reverses and Hope Dies. The terrible loss . of life \i as indi­ rectly caused by the reversing of the big fan which supplies air to the two big veins of the mine. When the fire was first discovered it was thought that the blaze could be d|*awn out by the fan. The reversing of the fan shut off all the air in the shafts below and also drew the flames up the air shaft. The flre came out with such fury that the fan itself was burned almost immedi­ ately. A moan of horror wen* up from the crowd, which realized that unless the miners were brought to the sur­ face within a few moments tht-y ^jpuld die from suffocation. ^ 'J. No Man Could Live Thmt > All knew that without the fnn work­ ing it would be difficult for any man to live ten minutes in the low*r levels of the mine. There were five hours more of fran­ tic but Ineffectual effort to stop the fire. At eight o'clock it was found necessary, to take the final sgep of sealing both shafts of the min-i. cut­ ting off all hope of anybody surviving in the huge underground furnace. It was a generally acknowledged impos­ sibility tb even consider taking out bodies of men without Hirst smother­ ing the flre. ' Charles McDonald, one of the men who was rescued, told a harrc.wing story of the flre in the depths below and of the rush to the elevator lifcaft. * Wine In Dash for Life.

For the first time, too, the federal govern­ ment has placed men behind the bars as an outcome of tbe lynching of a negro. At the United States jail in this city Capt. Joseph F.

' Shipp and Gibson had been found guilty of failing to protect from a mob Ed. Johnson, whose legal execution for criminal assault had beeh stayed by the supreme court until it could re­ view the case. The others had been found guilty of participation in the lynching of a federal prisoner. Shipp, Williams and Nolan we£e given sentences of 90 days' imprisoh- mtnt each, while Gibson, Padgett and Mayes each received 60 days. As the big barred doors of the jail swung open to receive the prisoners immediately after sentence had been Imposed, Warden McKee stood before them.
