Joe Petrovitch is missing. Two others were overcome by lire damp, but recovered after being brought out. About 123 men were !t work In the mine at the time of the explosion. It is not tie-finitely known how the gas Ignited, but it seems probable that some of the men fired a shot that tho shot-firers had not ret off.

This State generously divides the educational fund between the races. The Southern people have the kindest fe?ling for the negro and have no objection to any aid ho may receive to better his condition. The negro problem Is necessarily largely committed to the white people of the South, and I doubt if it can be successfully undertaken by those who live hundreds of miles away and are not Informed of existing conditions. Misdirected efforts might retard rather than advance his condition." Separate Schools for Negroes. KNOX VILLE, Tenn.. April 29.
