CAltuiFF, Vt'ules, Jim. 23. Yt it onlay tho
residents of tho towu nud vicinity of Ty
lorr,town, which a Hltunted nenr hero,
Vrcro torrlllcd by a terrific roverbcrutlou
which nhook tho wliolo town nud ciiused
peoplo to rush out of doors, wondering
whether thoy wore being overwhelmed by
mi eiirthquiiKc. It wiia aseurtitlnud In n
short tlino that tho concussion wus cuused
by nn explosion In a neighboring colliery
with disastrous conseriuonces to llfo nud
property. Tho IntcBt report places tho
number of dead nt flf ty-four, though It Is
fenred that tho further oxplorntlou of tho
wrecked iniuo will ilovolop tho bodlos of
more. Reports of tho number of killed
Iiavo been conflicting, and thoro Is doubt
as to tho uctunl number of men In tho
mlno at tho time of tho cntastropho. Tho
first reports gave tho number of miners In
tho shaft nt Ufty-four, but some of thorn
csenped to tho surface, bringing tho body
of ono comrndo with them.
Tho mining population of tho locality
rushed to tho mouth of tho pit, only to
have their worst fciiM confirmed. Tho shaft
was found to bo entirely shattered, nud It
wns evident that there was little hopo that
any of those in tho pit could have sur
vived tho explosion. The despair of tho
women who Hocked nbout tho mouth of
the pit was llttlo more terrible than tiio
horrlblo tiuxlety of those that hoped to
Olid that those who wero missing from
their sides had, by some chaucc, not
entered tho niino.
Tho pit was found to have caught Are,
and tho hindrance that this caused to tho
work of tho robcuo parties added to tho ex
citement and tension of fueling. It was
only through braving the utmost peril
that tho living wcronblo to prosecute their
quest for tho dead.
Tho number of tho dead romoved grew
from twelve to flfteou und then twenty,
and tho list of those known to have been
In tho fntod shaft kept constantly growing,
and with It tho number of bereaved fam
ilies waiting at tho surface.
The work of exploration is going steadily
forward, but under great dilllculty, tho
numerous unreins obstructing tho ndvnuco
and making It impossible to reach romoto
portions of tho mlno, whllo tho defective
ventilation often drives back thoso who
nro advancing on tholr sad errand. The
last to coma out brought with them lire
bodies. Kone have been found nitre, und
it Is not now hoped that any will bo.
Thoso who havo boon engaged In the
work of exploration and tho few survivors
who have been rescued tell terrible stories
of the scenes they witnessed and tho dead
bodies thoy found or stumbled over,
htrewn in nil directions as they fell over
come by llro damp or hurled by the force
of tho explosion.
Ono of tho Mirvlvors, a llreman, who
wns In tho mine Itself when tho oxploslon
came, sturtod to work his way in tho di
rection of tho entrance, with painful und
almost hopeless labor, making frequent
pauses. In ono spot ho was obliged to
stop and wait four hours on account of
tho after damp. At tho end of that time
ho ventured to ndvnnco n few steps fur
ther, when ho had to desist ngnin and wait
another two hours In hopeless darkness.
Another llremnn, who mado his way
out of tho death pit by n long journey, ro
tates that ho passed numerous men on the
way who wero unconscious and holploss
and badly burned. Ho could do nothing
for them nud was obliged to leavo thorn to
their fnto.
Tho ruscucrs continued their work in
defatlgnbly nil through tho night, en
couraged by the snrlugof a few and tho
hopo thnt still others remain nliro In the
mine whoso lives may possibly be saved.

The Ohio I'rlrmW nf McKlulry nml Toinker
Are Getting Together.
Ct.EVKLAND, Jan. 23. There wns n mys
terious gathering of politicians hero yes
terday. Knrly lu tho morning Charles
Kurtz, chairman of tho Republican state
committee dropped Into town, und wns
soon followed by Colonel A. Ii. Conger, of
Akron, lloth nro well known frlonds of
Souutor-olect Kornker. Kurtz flitted nbout
most of tho day, seeing several leading Ho
pnbllcaiis. Ho spent somo tlmo In tho
ofllco of M. A. Haiinu, who Is recognized
ns tho closest friend of MeKlnley, nud wns
nlso In confercuco with Colonel Slyron T.
Herrlck, nlso ono of McKlnley's support
ers. When nski'd tho purpose of Ills visit
to Cleveland, Mr. Kurtz said ho hud been
nttcndlng to somo business matters.
It was learned from another sourco that
his talk with Mr. Hanna was of n political
naturo; that in fo'ct tho ninko up of tho
dolegatlon-at-large from Ohio to the St.
IiOtils convention was considered. Tho
cholco of delegates In the various districts
wns also discussed. "It wns proposed,"
said this gontlonian, "and practically set
tled, so far as this preliminary conference
can scttlo It, that M. A. Hanna and James
II. Hoyt, of thl city, and Senator-elect
Fornkor nnd General Uushncll will bo tho
delcgatcs-nt-largo. There Is no doubt thnt
Ohio will be united for MeKlnley, and tho
purposo now Is to provide ngalust futuro
friction and conflicts between tho two ele
ments of tho Republican party In tho
stnto."
There seems to be no doubt that tho
conferences hero wero held with tho full
knowlodgo of both MeKlnley nud Fornkor,
nnd that tho meetings wero arranged with
tholr full consent. If tho delegates-ut-largo
nre agreed upon ns suggested both
MeKlnley nnd Foraker will have an cqunl

Three Second Ward Democrats Scrambl
ing: for the School Board.
IT DELAYS THE TICKET MAKERS
A Meeting of the Nominating Committee
Was Held last Night, But Nothing
Definite Was Accomplished Will
Try Again Next Thursday.
Tho most prominent political topic under
discussion nt present hinges upon what the
Democrats ot the Second ward are likely to
do relative to tho approaching Spring elec
tion. They held their primary beforo that
of the Citizens party was held, but left tho
ward ticket open with tho exception of the
olUco of Justico and appointed n eommltteo
to use Its judgment and discretion in mak
ing up a ticket after the Citizens primary.
Last evening tho committee, which comprises
Messrs. .1. K. P. Scbeifly, Michael Mellot,
James Smith, M. J. Scanlan and B.
.1. McOumiiess, met for tho purpura of
fulfilling its mission, but failed tu do so. It
kcems that there is a scramble for tho nomi
nation for School Director by three parties,
w huso uamcs nro not disclosed, and tho eom
mltteo was unable last night to concentrate
upon one man. Another meeting is to bo held
next Thursday evenlug. It is understood
that Andrew Ulllutt Is to bo placed on tho
ticket ns a candidate fur Council.
It has been reported that Max Reese was
not regularly nominated for Justice of tho
Peace at tho Second ward Democratic primary,
and that Thomas Ilellls would he placed on
tho ticket. One of the board of officers that
served at tho primary stated to-day that
Mr. ltceso Is tho regular candidate of tho
party, that ho was nominated by ballot and
Mr. Ilellls cannot bo placed on tho ticket If
Mr. Kceso insists upoii holding the nomina
tion. The latter gentleman has stated that
ho will get oil' the ticket for nobody and
intends to try for an election. It would
seem, therefore, that the only point tho
Deuioeiats hae to decide to complelo their
ticket lu the Second ward is as to who shall
bo the candidate for School Director, and
assurances nro given that a candidate will
bo agreed upon by Thursday evening.
