Pittsburg, Nov. 28. A scries of mine explosions occurred
today in the mine of the Pittsburg-Buffalo Coal Company at Ma
rianiui, Washington county, 'and whilo nothing is known of tho
number of fatalities, it is believed that many lost their lives. Re
ports from Marianna say that between 200 and 300 men mere
in the mine, t the offices of tho company it is said about 100
were in the mine.
At 1 o'clock, an hour nnd a half after tho accident, dense
clouds of smoke were pouring from tho two shafts of tho mine,
but there was not a sign of a miner.
Special trains from this city and Monongahela are bound for
the scene of the latest appliances from tho now United States
laboratory of this city, recently tested in saving lifo in mino
explosions, are being carried along. A majority of the minors
are Americans and their families are at tho mouth of tho pit
in a frenzy.
Mn.ri?.!in!i was recoit!w bv.ilt &t a reat cost and is ssiid to
be the most perfect mining town in the world.
LATER DETAILS
According to officials of tho company State Mino Inspector
Louttit and Mine Foreman Kennedy had just completed a two
days' examination of tljo mine and had come from the mino only
three minutes before tho explosion occurred. The iron cage in
which the men went from the surface to the workings bolow was
blown three hundred feet from the mouth of the shaft, two men
in the cage being killed. But little hope is entertained for the
men entombed.
According to the state inspector bctweon 180 and 200 men
were in the mine when the explosion occurred, while other au
thoritative sources make the number 275.
Shortly after 2 o'clock word from tho Marianna resoue party
was to the effect that thoy had succeeded in entering the mine
and are attempting to force their way through the debris to
where the miners were caught. It is not considered likely that
any will be rescued a'ivo.
ALL FRANCE STIRRED
! BYSTHEIL'CASE
Judge Scott, of Monroe County,
Was the Principal
Speaker
Paris, Nov. 28. Tho Stcinhcil caso continues the sensation
of the hour in all France, and no ono ventures to say whore tho
1 revelations will end. The political side looms larger and larger
I and the interest harks back to the tragio death in Paris in 1890
! of Felix Faure, president of Fiar.re, who diod amid the Droyfas
' excitement. The most minute e'etails of the scene in the room
i where he expired in company with Mmo. Steinhoil is flagrantly
published by even tho republican papers.
I The Royalist and anti-Dreyfus papers are domanding an in
vestigation of the death of President Faure and intimate openly
that he was an insuperable obstacle to tho leaders of tho Dreyfus
agitation and was murdered as the result of a plot. Tho only
; reason to beliove that Faure did not die a natural death wiu
found in the fact that his body decomposed with unusual rapidity.
Seven of the best-known phtysiuians of Paris certified tl.it ho
; died of cerebral hemorrhage.
Various episodes in the life of Mme. Steinhoil, her alleged
love affairs and intrigues are coming to light, and the prevail.- ;
belief in Paris is that she deliberately had her husband ?,nd I ,r
; mother assassinated.
