with debris consisting of timbers
knocked out by the terrible force of the
explosion, which was felt abovo ground.

michacl family loses threo sons. Jesse
Armlshaw went down No. 2 slope and
found his three sons and a brother piled
together In n heap in ono corner of the

out his boys. Tho sons of Robert Mc
Voy, both under 14 years, occupied ono
coffin. Hugh Hunt loses two sons.
These sorrowful households aro only
a few of the largo numbers from which

tled over the whole community. A spe
cial train arrived Sunday morning from
Wcstville and other mining centers In

Some of the bodies have been fright
fully mutilated and had to bo identified
by the clothing or marks on their bodies.

Halifax, N. S., Feb. 24.-Thc follow
ing appeal has been issued by Mayor
Hall:
"To the Public: ,A mining disaster,
attended with fatal results unparalleled
In the history of Canadian mining, has
fallen upon the town and the people of
Spring IU11, N. S. The loss of life is
probably as great as the combined ap
palling loss at the Drummond and Ford
pit explosions. About 117 lives are lost.
Fifty-one widows have been left behind
and 157 children mode fatherless. The
widows and fatherless will require
abundant assistance, and that promptly,
from the public, shocked and horrified
by this terrible calamity.
"Seventy thousand dollars will be re
quired to meet the demands and to alle
viate the sufferings of the bereaved and
distressed during tho most pressing
period of their dismal misfortune. The
residents of Spring Hill have appointed
a committee to solicit and acknowledge
subscriptions to the Spring Hill relief
fund, and they earnestly ask for an im
mediate response from persons of all
denominations, societies, trades and
nationalities."
This appeal Is being sent broadcast
and the necessity for a prompt response
is great. The first subscription to the
relief fund was telegraphed from J. W.
Clendennlng, president of tho Acadia
Coal Company, New York. It amounts
to S300.
Spring nii.r., N. S Fob. 24. Threo
more bodies were taken from the ill
fated mine Monday nfternoon, making
tho total number recovered so far 120.
It la thought now that all the bodies
have been recovered, but tho rescuing
party will continue the search until
every foot of the ground has been gone
over.
A sad accident in connection with tho
disaster occurred yesterday. While
Oliver Dupee, a Frenchman, accom
panied by his only living child, was en
gaged in removing from tho morgue tho
dead body of his son James, ono of tho
victims, the little fellow slipped on tho
ice and broke his neck.
Montkeal, Feb. 24.- -Senator Ge-irge
A. Drummpnd, of this city, is ono of tin,
directors of the Spring Hill mines. Ho
shows nn ollicial report of the manager
of the' mine which tells a remarkable
story. It is dated February 10, and in it
underground superintendent Swift says
that much uneasiness had been caused
among the miners by "old Sirs. Coo,"
known in tho neighborhood as the
"Pietou prophetess," for forotolllng an
explosion which wns to take place in
the Spring Hill mlno. In consequence
of the old womun's story and tho con
sequent uneabincss of the men, n com
mittee of miners was appointed by tho
compnny, and with manager Cowan at
their hcud, they began an examination
of the mines on Fobruury 10.
The west mlno was examined and on
Tuesday last tho north mine was gone
through and the most complete exami
nation made of all seams, drifts, slopes
and leadings. Everything was found
in good shape with no apparent pres
ence of danger. Tho fears of the miners
caused by "Mother Coo" were dispelled
by the perfect condition of tho mines,
except among a very few who stoutly
maintained that thu old woman never
prophesied wrong. Tho awful fulfill
ment of her prophecy cumu Saturday.
