McMURRAY General Passenger Agont Portland, Oregon EIGHT DEAD IN MINE Open Lamps Ignite Gas and Ex plosion Follows. RESCUERS ARE FORCED BACK i Prompt Action at Management Aids Hundreds to Escape Fire Pre vent Recovery of Bodies. St. Louis, Mo., Dec. 25. Eight men were killed and the lives of 400 per sons were imperiled by an explosion of gas in mine A of the Chicago & Carter ville Coal .company at Herrin, 111., late Thursday. Open lamps carried by the mine engineer and his assistants caused the disaster, according to a long-distance telephone message from the mine office to the Associated Press. There were throe men and a boy in this party. All lost thir lives. 1'rompt action by the management resulted in the safe exit of the hun dreds of men at work below ground. Within five minutes after the first re port of the explosion, miners in the im mediate vicinity of the accident were started toward tho surface and on the return trips of the cages rescuers were lpwerod to entries Iv'o. 7 and No. 8, west, where the catastrophe took place. Among the dead were: W. T. Pierce, mine engineer. Eugene Barrett, assistant engineer. Thomas Williams, assistant manager. Thomus Guinney, superintendent ot the mine, and Robert Huston, manager, hoadod the first relay of rescuers. De spite the black damp that flowed into the chambers adjoining those in which Pierce and his party wore killed, these men plunged into the workings. Throe bodies blocked their path. Hasty examination showed that the men wore alive, and they wore rushed to the surface. Ono was A. .1. Huston, brother of the manager. The. others, Charles Klem and Albort Shelton, and Huston were Tevived, and all are ex pected to recover from the effects of the gas. . The rescuers next found the bodies of Snyder, Greeco and Romeo, miners. None of these men had been burned, the condition of the corpses testifying to the force of the concussions. The body of Harbor, a miner, was badly burned, the features being scorched almost beyond recognition. Efforts of the rescuers to penetrate more deoply into the workings were re pulsed by increasing afterdamp! The ventilating apparatus of the mine had not been damaged, but it could not cope successfully with the gases, and Guin ney and Huston and their helpers were forced to retreat, leaving the bodies of Pierce and his companions. The fire aUo began to gain headway, and it is not expectea the bodies can be recov ered before tomorrow. NewB of the explosion soon spread through Herring, and women and chil dren jushed at jonce to the shaft-housa But as the cnges emptied load after ioaa or rescued miners so.bs of anguish gave way to cries of joy. These in turn were soon hushed to murmurs of sympathy as the bodies of the dead were brought to the surface. SKY LIGHTS SEEN AGAIN. Many Towns Eeport Searchlight Borne by AirBhip. Boston, Doc. 25. Following . the re port from Worcestor Thursday night of tho discovery above that city a strange moving ngnt, apparently tne search light of a dirigible aircraft, last night brought stories of the observance of similur lights from villages east of Worcester, and even from Boston Com mon. People in Marlboro, South Fremlington, Natick, Ashland, Graf ton, North Grafton, Upton,. Hopedale and Northboro turned out in throngs last night and saw a mysterious light in the sky. Many declared that it had the ap pearance of a strong light and, while they could discover no iramework be- md it, such as an aeroplane would- have, they were positive that the light could not be that of a balloon because it moved as if under control and ap parently against the wind.
