A FIIIGKTFMI. llOOKoK.

SOUTH MCAI.MSTKK, J. T., Jim. 9. The liorrors of the Diamond mine disaster at Hraidwood, 111., about eight years ago, were reenaeted here Thursday night and I'riday except that in this instance fire instead of flood was the instrument of destruction. As the miners were preparing to leave shaft No. 11 at Krebs, 5 miles from here, operated by the Osage Coal & Mining Company, shortly after 5 o'clock Friday evening, a terrific explosion occurred spreading death among 403 or more miners at work It is impossible at present to obtain any accurate information as to the number of the lives lost or persons injured, but it is known that at least 100 men are entombed in the mine, and it is only possible to ascertain their number by a canvass from house to house, which is being made by a committee appointed for the purpose.

One Hundred and Thirty Dead. A careful estimate by Assistant Manager Ivrebs places the dead at ISO and the injured at 200. Of these at least 100 will die, as they are burned so that the flesh is dropping from their bones. At 11 o'clock Friday night forty-nim bodies had been recovered from the shaft. Of these twenty-three Mad leei identified.

The DcHtli-DouUflK Hluxl.

The explosion occurred about p. Thursday, at which time there wen about 400 men at work in the mini' They were the day shift, and were just preparing to ascend when the explosion took place. Six men who had already been hoisted in the rage had just stepped on the platform at the side of the shaft. The cage was blown through the roof of the tower and SO feet into the air. Flames shot up the shaft and above the ground fully 100 feet, which were followed by a terrific report which was heard for miles around and shook all the neighboring country vio lently.

Fearful Scorn ft Above (iround. The men already above ground were prostrated by the force of the explo sion, but did not receive severe injuries. The secnes about the mouth of the shaft immediately following were fearful in the extreme. Weeping women flocked to the scene from the village at the sound of the explosion, many of them hysterical to the point of insanity. The. air shaft, the only way of escape for the entombed miners, was the point where the relatives of the miners congregated.

Worked Their Way Out.

Many of the miners were able to m: their way out of the tomb, and they were welcomed at the surface by their waiting friends. The injured wore quickly taken to places of shelter and ivcre tenderly eared for. One man with a broken leg climbed all the distance of 400 feet through the air-shaft and fell unconscious as he. reaeheJ the surface. tubers who were terribly burned labored painfully up the ladder, strips of flesh falling from their hands and arms as they grasped the '.adder's rounds. lti-tief Tarty Forim-fl.

The news of the disaster spread quickly through the villages surrounding Krebs. Kvery physician at once volunteered his services and hastened to Krebs ready to do his duty of mercy. Hundreds of miners from the liraidwood and McAllister fields hurried to the scene to do what they could in assisting in the rescue of the entombed men and the recovery of the dead. The work of rescue was begun at once and has continued all through Thursday night and Friday. The work was hazardous, but the hope that some of the unfortunate men might be rescued alive spurred the rescuers on to many deeds of bravery and possibly selfsacrifice.

Taking Out Ihu Vlrtllll-*.

No attempt can yet be made to explore the mine. At every landing dead and dying are taken out. Many bodies are so burned that they are not recognizable by anyone. Kully fifty have been taken out still alive and placcd in the nearest homes, but of these five cannot live. The burns arc all of wide area, not to speak of the effects of the inhalation of gasses by the unfortunates. There are now thirty bodies in the blacksmith shop awaiting disposal or identification.

Some Are Still Alive.

There arc two encouraging facts which urge the rescuers on to the work. No fire followed the explosion —at least there have been no signs of any—and there are known to be live men entombed in the tunnel behind fallen bowlders. The rescuers can hear faint knockings and far off shoutings. They are digging in the direcwhence the sounds come and yet to rescue some of the men

tion hope alive.

Cause of tho Kxplowion.

The mines have long been regarded as dangerous, as there are few escapes and the ground is very gasy. The exact cause of the fearful catastrophe is not known as yet, but it is believed by those who oscaped to have been caused by a premature explosion, which took place before the usual safety precautions could be taken.

FOUR MEN KILLED.

A Holler Kxplntlon In Cliicagu Wlitrh Re* milt* In I.ONI of I.tTi*. CHICAGO, Jan. 9.—Four men were killed and two others probably fatally injured by a boiler explosion Friday evening in the Warren Springer building, l'.lo-'JOT Canal street. The names of the dead are: Patrick Rogers, fireman Arthur Hall (colored), fireman Kdtvard Hush (colored), helper John Lee (colored), fireman, died at connty hospital. The injured are: James lliggins, fireman, badly burned about the head, legs and hands Henry Oswald, helper, horribly scalded.

The boiler room was completely wrecked, the center of the room being* heaped tip with broken boilers, iron pipes and other debris, and lying hemwth this mass were the six men, the sole oeeupants of the room. The wrcck wasc^nickly cleared away and the killed and wounded removed, the latter being sent to the county hospital. The damage tc the building and machinery will not, be above £PJ.000 or $!.",• 00(1 and this is fully covered by insurance.

NATURAL GAS FAILING.

8ftnd:t«ky |{e«ident* Compelled to t'se and Wood Tor Fuel. Ci.KVKLAxn, O., .Ian. 9.—The supply of natural gas has about given out at Sandusky and consumers are compelled to use coal and wood. The Northwestern Ohio Natural (»as Company, which has supplied the city, has taken much territory that the output of its wells has for several weeks been inadequate to meet the demands, and. as the pressure has been steadily diminishing, the result is the total failure of the supply. Many pupib have been withdrawn from the public schools within the last two day because parents would not jeopardize their children's health by permitting them to remain in insufficiently heated buildings. The gas fixtures will now be taken out of the schools and fur naees. and coal and wood used.

The two men dropped out of the pursuing party Tiiuisday night in No Man's land and made their way to Liberal, where their wounds were dressed

The Country in Arm*.

The entire country is in arms, but no hostilities are shown in the immediate vicinity of Arkalon or Springfield, because tiie presence of the troops deters hostile men from making targets of their enemies. The troops that have been stationed here sinee Wednesday marched to Springfield Friday afternoon, the adjutant gene nil having become convinced that it would he good policy to unite his entire forces at the latter place. The six prisoners were taken along and put in jail.

Ifolkin May Itn shot.

Judge Hot-kin will open court at Spriugticld, but he will have to adjourn in time to reach Santa Fe. in Haskell county, the following day. as he must open court there, .hist a week later he is due at Hugoion. Stevens county, where the second attempt to secure a jury for the trial of .lames Hrennan. the murderer of Col. "Saur' N. Wood, will be made. Fillers the judge is well guarded it does not seem possible that he can make the journey across the wild country without being shot. He has asked for a military escort, but none of the forces now here can be spared, as they will all be needed in guarding prisoners and in preventing disturbances at the preliminary hearing in Liberal.

Want Martial law.

The friends of the ju Ige are eon* vinced that he will he murdered unless he leaves the. county. He will not do this, however, and the only way by which further bloodshed can be prevented is by the governor placing the entire judicial district under martial law. The judge's death may be postponed for a short time by being protected constantly by a strong guard, but the minute the military forces are withdrawn fighting and murdering will begin anew. II. Pit/.er. a'friend of Judge Hotlcin. left for To* peka Friday to consult with the governor. He will lay the facts as they exiM before the chief executive and endeavor to convince him that the only way to prevent further los of life is to resort to martial law.

Tho l*lol to Kill fhr» Judge. Deputy SheritV Custer has just returned from SpringJeld. He reports more of the plot t» kill Judge Hot-kin than has heretofore been known. According to bis storv the plot was for the killing of Hotkin at Ilngoton one week from Tuesday next, and Mrk S. N. Wond, the wife of the man killed by Krennan, was to do the killing, according to his statement She has been practicing with a revolver in order to acquire a correct aim. but after the plans had been matured the conspirators eouKI not be restrained. Custer claims to have proof of this.

Mr. Cleveland Cheered.

Mr. Cleveland's name and his arising were greeted with vociferous cneers, and some time elapsed before the din had subsided sufficiently for his voice to be heard. When it was quiet he spoke at some length eulogistic of ticn. Jackson and his services. After recalling some instances in the general's career Mr. Cleveland said:

Trap to T.triir Keform.

"The fl'-ninoraiie pjit ly of to-day, whieh conjures with the name of .larUsou, has also s»tJsicked :i monstrous ovU, intrenched behind perversion of governmental power and guarded by its Hellish hcueiiciaries. Or, behalf or those ainon^ our people long neglected we h-ive insisted on tariff reform and an abandonment of unjust favoritism. We have thus ndoptcd an Issue great enough to donerve the undivided efforts of our party. Involving considerations which we profess to believe lie at the foundation of the justness and fairness of popular rule. If we are to act upon our declared belie! in the power of that .Inclisoniun spirit which was the inspiration of our party in the days of our great leader, we shall be •.steadfast to the issue we have raised until It is Settled and rightly settled. The steadfastness we need will not permit a premature und distracting search for other and perplexing questions, nor will it allow us to be tempted or driven by the enemy into new and tangled paths.

No Folitleel Maneuvering,

"Nor are the sacrcdness of our pledges' and the party dishonor that would follow their violation all we have to consider. "We eannoi trifle with our obligations to the people without CXJKKare mid disaster. Weourselves have aroused a spirit of jealous inquiry and discrimination touching political conduct which cannot be blinded, and the people will visit with quick revenge the party which betrays them. 1 believe our countrymen are prepared to act on principle and are in no mood for political maneuvering. They will not waste time in studying conundrums. guessing riddles or trying to Interpret doubtful phrases. They demand a plain unfl simple statement of political purpose. Above all things, political linesse should not lead us to forget that at the end of our plans we must meet face to face at the polls the voters of the land, with hallols in their hands, demanding as a condition of their support of our panv fidelity and undivided devotion .to the cause which we have enlisted them."
