ROSLYN MINE HORROR

The Worst; Disaster That nas Been
Chronicled on the Coast.

Otber News. -
Boslyn, Wash., ilay 10. At 1 :45 this
afternoon -a terrible gas explosion oc
curred in the slope of mine No. 2 of the
Northern Pacific coal company at this
point, in which the loss of life exceeded
in number that of any other -disaster
that has ever; been chronicled in
the. northwest or on the Pacific slope.
The exact nature of the explosion or the
circumstances which led to it will prob
ably never be known, since at this writ
ing it is believed that every miner, who
was at work in th slope at the time has
perished. The accident occurred just
after the afternoon shift had gone on
duty. A driver had just come out of the
slope when a tremendous explosion oc
curred which upset his cars, knocked the
mules and '. driver down and bruised a
man a hundred feet away. , .The report
was . heard all over, the town, , and the
mouth of the 6lope was soon surrounded
by an anxious crowd, which grew in
size every minute. It is not definitely
known as to the number of men who
were in the vicinity of the disaster, but
it is believed that between forty-five and
fifty were on the three levels affected by
the; explosion.. Large relief forces are
at work, and at this time two bodies
have .been recovered. These men were
working nearest the opening and at
some! distance from the point where it
it ia'supbee the explosion! joccurre'd.
Mostlof tbAfflpn. were 1500 tojiOQ feet
further iu the . slope and in the .immedi
auTsic'inity of "the ageideni: There is" no
doubt, either in the minds of the miners
or"the cbnipany. officials -but' what' every
mantras instaiitlylikilled by the explo
sion. As soon 'as .it was possible to
enter, the Telief 'forces Be to work; but
their-prpgre88 wa9 Impeded ' by .f the
smoke' . and.'.dtimp - J whiqb-'j,.';' continued
to roll from .the EtunneUii At--Z"30
o'clock ' four;, bodies were, reached ' ; A
progress, was made the. " frightful .. execu
tion of the explosion' became more man
ifest."' The timbers 'were; torn out '."ior
hundreds of feet.and the whole interior
was fearfplfywrecfced.' The -scene sur
rounding the' entrance to the mine ; was
of, a distressing .character.' .The . .wives
and children, of many of the." im prisoned
men gathered around, and their distress
was heartrending.. In several .'instances
the a debased .;m.mer8 -iwiU . '.leave, their
families in' comfortable circumstances,
bulj in many1 cases the death of the .hus
band, father, or son, removes. their, only
support. TheTcity hall was" then turned
into a morgue, and" when a - body is re
coyered.it is laid in the hall to await
identlfi cation and the action of the, cor
oner. From the fearful wreckage of the
slope interior, and the doubt . as to the
existence of Cre.in the lower level.'there
is ho way "6f determining how soon- the
bodies can be recovered. . Several of the
miners who have been taken out. are
badly: mutilated.; in one . instance, the
head being completely severed from: the
body. At midnight, about : the only
sound that . breaks the stillness of the
night air is the footsteps of pedestrians
tramping to and from, the mine, and
ramble of the dead wagon; as it 'brings
its ghastly loads into the morgue; where
lie fourteen: maimed pieces of what' was
once: humanity. .'. It is the opinion of
Supt. Harrison, that the explosion oc
curred either in the sixth level,' west, or
in the seventh levels east, and his theory
ir that some of the miners 'struck a drill
in a hole full of gas and watenthe former
forcing the latter out and bringing it in
contact with the miner's lamps. He ' Is
convinced every miner who was working
on either of the three levels at the time
of the explosion Is dead.

: Boy Hanged For Harder. .
Cheyekne, May 11. The boy who was
conyicted of murder was hanged yester
day.... Much sympathy" was expressed
for him on account of his "youthfulness,
but he was mature enough to accomplish
his murder with skill and secrecy, ' and
hence the jury, wisely enough,; decided
that he was mature enough to iiang for
thenar Human sentiment is undoubt
edly shocked by the hanging of boys and
women. But a person killed by a " boy
or woman is just as dead as a person
killed by a man. Less flabby sentiment,
and more common sense in dealing with
murderers, v would be beneficial '. to
society. : - -"'.-' . . -

la he a False Prophet. , ,
: New Havkn, Conn., May 11. Weather
Prophet Vaughn of Norwalk, is at a dis
count. April 25th he ; predicted that
early on Thursday morning, May 5th, a
terrible storm would appear in ;'the Pa
cific ocean in north latitude 25.30, 71
west ot Washington," and' swept east
ward with wonderful impetuosity. That
it would strike the Pacific coast, with
its center in lower California, and across
the continent at a, terrific speed. The
whole country between St. Paul and St..
Louis was to be in its ' line of march.
The storm; Vaughn adds, will sweep
down upon the. New "York and New
Jersey. coast en or before May I2th.
Some parts of the prediction have been
verified, but still a large district discount
his ability, notwithstanding he predicted
the great March blizzard, and various
other storm's and cyclones with more or.
less succesa. - - '- . ; r
