No Hope Held Out For Entombed Workers in Death Trap.
CARDIFF, Wales, Oct. 14. Four hundred and eighteen miners were entombed today when an explosion set Are to the Universal colliery, causing the worst disaster of its kind Wales has ever known. Eight hours after the flames broke out the men were still prisoners in the burning colliery and honrr had been abandoned for their delivery. Surrounding the flaming pit mouth is a valley walled in by mountains where 'the frantic families of the imprisoned men were held back by hundreds of constables. 'On the mountain top were thousands of others watching
the tragic scene below them. So violent was the detonation that the country for miles around was shaken as though by an earthquake and from severity of the shock it was feared that all the entombed men had been burned to death or been blown to bits. Blast Shakes Cardiff. Shortly after 8 o'clock not long after the day 9hift had been sent down in the pit, the blast occurred. Cardiff trembled from the shock, fire followed the explosion and smoke rolled from the mouth of the mine. A rescue squad was formed and started into the mine after the ftemeei had died down. They reported ti.t the shaft gearing had been destroyed. The connections between the fans and the Interior of the pit were blown asunder, cutting off the supply of fresh air. Other pumps were rigged up, however, to furnish fresh air and blow out the poisonous fumes. Soon the work of carrying out the
survivors began. Many of them were unconscious. Some had their clothing blown off. Ready to Sacrifice. Families of the miners rushed to the mouth of the pit, frantic in their grief and anxiety and determined to sacrifice their own lives, if necessary in an attempt to save their loved ones penned In the shaft. Hundreds of other persons, led by curiosity or the desire to give aid, clustered about the pit mouth. Special trains and automobiles bearing rescue apparatus, medical supplies, doctors and nurses, sped to the scene. A first aid hospital and a temporary morgue were erected side by side not far from the shaft opening. Hold Back Relatives. - The excitement grew to such extent that hundreds of constables were placed on duty about the head of the mine. Lines were formed to keep the grief stricken relatives of the penned up miners from danger. The voices of hundreds of women and children lifted up in lamentations, mingled with the shouts of the police and the leaders of the rescue squads. When the call was given for volunteers to enter the mine at risk of their own lives, hundreds of miners dashed forward and begged to be allowed to join in the relief work. Only the strong est and most experienced were chosen. A government investigation probably will follow. Owners of the mine began one today. They expressed the belief that a blast had exploded the coal dust, which has a powerful explosive quality.

and the meeting passed to the next or
der of business. Burrage Expected Action. "I am very much disappointed," said Dr. Burrage, after he had left the room. "I felt very sure that the Commercial Club would pass resolutions tonight asking the county commissioners to make an appropriation for the hospital. Future action on the hospital proposition will probably be conducted through the regular channels, the club
.waiting for the report of the health
committee a majority of whose members are favorable to the hospital. In part, Dr. Burrage said: "I favor the erection of tuberculosis ' hospitals in counties or groups of counties. Persons afflicted with the disease are compelled to go to Texas, Colorado or California, and either remain there the rest of their lives or elso run the risk of succumbing to the disease if they return to their homes. "It is the same way with patientsBent to the state hospital at Rcckville, Ind. These patients are removed from their friends, become homesick and so will not make the progress they would under more favorable conditions. Needed as Preventative. "The hospital is needed from the standpoint of disease prevention. Each case of tuberculosis probably will cause from five to ten other cases. Where there is smallpox in the home the patient is at once isolated. Nothing of the kind is done in caring for the victim of tuberculosis.
"By taking the proper relief measures we will be able to prevent hundreds of cases of tuberculosis in coming generations. At these hospitals the patients are taught the proper safeguards against the spreading of their affliction. "There are only two places in the state where advanced cases of tuberculosis may be treated Evansville and Indianapolis. It is certainly needful that such cases should be cared for in such a way that they will cease to menace the health of the remainder of the community. Many Die Here Yearly. "From the monetary standpoint alone, the hospital is needed badly in this county. Fifty to one hundred people die in Wayne county every year of the disease. The parents of sixty per cent of the inmates of our orphan asylums died of tuberculosis. "We do not wait for fire to consume our principal cities before we supply
them with Are fighting apparatus, we do not wait for marine accidents be
fore we build lighthouses on the dan
gerous coasts. I believe we are as near a cure for the disease as we will ever
be. I do hope that we will some day
get an absolute cure, but at the pres ent time prevention is the safest weapon to use in fighting it.
"From the educational viewpoint alone, the hospital will be worth all it
costs. The patients dismissed from it
will return to their homes with new
ideas as to the proper living. In the in
stitution they will be taught the val
ue of fresh air, good food; exercise and
the other precautions that will give a
high resistance to the disease. Requires No Medicine.
"The idea is to raise the vitality of
those who are suffering with the dis
ease. No medicine is required. In the past patent medicines have done more harm than good. The disease can be permanently arrested by proper treatment. "With proper treatment the disease can be stamped out of the state in 25 years. I want Indiana to be the first state in the Union that can give a clean bill of health when it comes to making returns on the number of persons afflicted with this preventable disease." Following his talk Dr. Burrage replied to a number of questions that
management of the institution could be placed in the hands of a head nurse. Dr. Burrage gave it as his opinion that from 75 to 100 beds would be needed to care for those afflicted with the disease in this county. He gave the cost of treatment in an institution of this kind at from nine to ten dollars per patient weekly.
A settlement in the case of William
F. Hiatt against the Adams Express company for $3, Out) damages was made outside of court aud the case was dismissed today after subpoenas had been issued for a jury to hear the case tomorrow.

STENCH AT RIVER Residents Say Sewage Is Not Washed Away on Account of Dam.
Has At Last Been Found in "Browna tone" Hair Stain The One Perfect Stain that Is Entirely Harmless and Sore to Give Best Results-
Considerable complaint has been expressed by citizens of the North Side
over the stench this as arising from the river since the filling of Morton lake was commenced. While the water is being temporarily retarded, there is not sufficient current to carry av7 the sewage that is emptied below the dam. This has become a nuisance to the persons living near the river. It is believed water will flow over the dam the first part of next week which will materially alleviate the nuisance.
