Workman Torn to Pleeee and Blown From Iht Mould el Iht Mint Night Repairmen Iht Victim. A day terrible explosion occurred Salur at the Hcrrysburg mine of the Southern Mining and Transportation Company at Hcrrysburg, a milling set tlement six miles south of I'hilippl, W. Va., In which li men were killed in stantly and two others fatally injured. 'I he miners were not working and only a repair gang were at work put ting in older machinery and other re pair work. There was a magaine con taining a quantity of dynamite ami blasting powder in the mine and the repaiiuieti were using dynamite in some lasting. It is sutmoscil that one nl the workmen dropped a stick of dyna mite near the magazine ami the explo sion set off the whole supply. However, the raiise of the disaster will probably never be known. The mine is a single ong tiiimel extending into the inotm ain side for over a tnite. anil from this tunnel short tunnel branch oil to the rooms where the turn work. The repair gang was working toward the mouth of the mine from the maga zine, nnd not the full force of the ter rific blast of air forced towaril tlir en trance. The entry tunnel furnished an unobstructed tube like thr barrel f( a r If It and along this everything movable was thrown. I hrre were three mules in the mine and half a dozen or more mine cars. These were lifteil bodily and shot out of the tunnel like bullets from a gnu. The nudes were torn to pieces and the mine cars went tearing out of the nunc lit splinters. Several of the men were lorn to surli bit that recognition was impossible. I he body of another miner was rut in twain. Ihe other were knocked luainst the wall of the mine nnd bruis ed ami crushed out of all semblance of human form. Fortunatrly the outer works of the mine were not located fair ly in front of thr tunnel mouth, nnd escaped with but little damage, the force fit the nwful dischnrgr passing harmless ly out into the valley, carrying its freight of wreckage hundreds of yards from the mouth. The force of the explosion was felt in Philippi, six miles away, nnd for miles around the earth trembled as if from an interior disturbance. The two men who were spared to tell of the dis aster were carried bv the force of air 00 feet from the mouth of the mine, the ilast fortunately striking them broad side and carrying them without their coming into contact with any obstruc tion. There is no evidence of careless ness on the part of the management either in providing safely devices fir methods of operation. I he work of clearing the mine rmii- day progressed so well Sunday that operations were resumed Monday. It lias been ascertained now that there were only 14 men in the mine, and that the explosion was caused by dynamite uid not by gas. THIRTEEN ARE DEAD. Three More Explosion Victims Cannol Re coverThe Coronor's Vordicl. The latest reports from the Hcrrys burg, W. Va., mine show that 13 are dead, eight of whom have been recogniz ed, and three are so seriously injured that they cannot recover. A dozen theories are advanced as to the cause of the explosion. I he coroner s niry was out for an hour and a half ami returned the follow ing verdict: The jury find that the men came t') their death by an explosion on ho night of November 2. 1000. caused by the firing of powder and dynamite m the south entry of the mine, either in tentionally or accidentally, by persons to the jury unknown."
