HORRIBLE MINE DISASTER.
Almost Two Hundred Miners Entombed
by Explosion of Oat.
The mii't appalling and terrible mine
disaster that has occurred In the bitu
minous coal regions took pluce at ihrt
Harwiek mine of tho Allegheny Coal
Co. at Chejwlck, on opposite side of Al
legheny river from New Kensington, at
8.20 a. in. Monday by an explosion of
gat. Almost two hundred men and
boys had gone down Into the deep shaft
at sevon o'clock Monday morning to
work nnd were In tho mine at time of
explosion. Up to Inst evening only one
of that number had boon rescued allvo.
Alex L. Flenncrand son Harry Flennor,
son-in-law and grandson of Mr. and M rs.
Calvin DoHart of this place, wi re
among the number who were working
in the shaft who have not been taken
out of the mlno yet. dead or alive.

A Long Wait.
Friday evening about twenty Odd
Follows of this place went to Punxr-u-tawney
to attend a session of tho Grand
Lodge held at that place and they mi do
arrangements with the Jefferson True
tlon Co. for a special car to leave Punx
sutawney at one o'clock to bring thi m
to ReynoldsvlUe. Tbe Odd Fellows got
around en time, but the conductor mid
motorman were just ready to go home
and refused to run the car to Reynolds
vlUe because they had recolvcd ordi rs
not to make the trip. It is hardly
necessary to add that the Reyn
oldsvlUe men were indignant for
being treated in that manner. On tic
count of high water the car had been
stopped at Elk Run, a half mile above
Punxsutawney't business section, and
rather than walk back to a hotel at that
hour of the night, the passengers re
mained In the trolley car from 1.00 a.
m. to 6.00 a. m., when first car left for
ReynoldsvlUe. The power was not
turned off and tbe car was warm und
well lighted, but tho sleeping accom
modations were not extra.
We understand that the reason the
company issued orders not to run I lie
special car to this place was because
the company thought there were only
four or five passengers to come over und
the track wat not in a safe condition.
Lost a Car Out of Train.
Early Thursday morning of last week,
as a fast freight train was going east
over the Low Grade division, a freight
car jumped the truck near the Panther
Run branch on this side of Sundy Valley
and after bumping along tho ties for
some distance tho car broke its coupl
ings aud rolled off tho track fur enough
to let tbe roar portion of the train i un
past it without stopping speid of the
train. The engineer discovered that
his train was broken in two and the
front end drifted along almost to Pun-
coast before the rear, end of train vas
stopped and the train coupled again.
None of thu train crow knew anything
about losing a car, and it waB not until
tho train reached Sabula was it dis
covered that a car had been lost.
When the car jumped the track It
tore out the frog at tho Sandy Valley
siding switch, which derailed the
roar trucks of the rear car of tho Du
Bols accommodation, which was the
Bret train oyer the broken frog. H id
tho passenger train been going I lie
other way a sorlous wreck would have
occurred.
