Connellsvillo, Pa., Nov. 23. "Hill
Farm mine," the ill fated, lias added
ten more victims to its black record.
Just as one shift had about completed
its labors and was about to leave the
mine a terrific explosion rent the inte
rior of the mine, and nineteen miners
w ho were working in the vicinity were
thrown iu all directions, the roof came
tumbling down, and the close air of the
mine became stupefying. The men
rushed in every direction seeking
meaus of escape, but only nine succeed
ed in reaching the pit mouth alive.
These were picked up by the rescuing
party in different positions of exhaus
tion after an hour of frantic search. As
they reached the open air tUey fell
prostrate into the arms of their wives
and children, who had spent that long,
weary hour at the pit mouth fearing
that they would never see their loved
ones again.
Terrible Scenes at Pit Month.
As these nine emerged from the mine
pit one by one their faces were black
ened, their hair scorched aud clothing
burned almost to shreds from the
liames that followed! the explosion. The
other ten perhaps never regained con
sciousness pfter the disaster. Their
bodies were found lying in all shapes
horribly burned when the- rescuing par
ty reached them. The explosion oc
curred in the Ferguson mine of the
Dunbar Furnace company, which ad
joins the "Hill Farm mine." It is be
lieved by mining experts that the tire
which has boon raging in the "Hill
Farm mine" since the disaster of ISiKi
broke through the walla which had
been erected between the "Hill Farm
mine" and Ferguson mine and caused
an explosion of gas.
As soon aa the news of the explosion
was known to the oflleialB of the com
pany a rescuing party was organized,
and half a hundred men descended in
the deep pit to rescue the injured and
dying. Great volumes of smoke rolled
out of the mouth of the mine, and the
rescue work wna dangerous. Almost
blinded by the dense smoke, the men
pushed on for nearly two miles until
the first of the dying miners was found.
The injured were carried out and taken
to the company house, where half a
dozen physicians were already in .wait
ing. The miners who were found dead
are so terribly burned that it is impos
sible to identify them.
Two Miles of Timbers lllonu Ont.
The explosion was a most terrifying
one, and for two miles timbers were
completely blown out. The flames shot
through almost every room in the mine,
setting fire to the timbers and burning
the pit cars that were in the section of
the mine where the explosion took
place. The dead are all foreigners, ex
cepting James McGuerque, son of Pit
Boss John MeGiienine. The pit boss
was in the mine at the time of the ex
plosion, but escaped death by crawling
into an abandoned room, where he re
mained until the flames had swept by.

Equal Distribution of Space!
Now Listen to This!
A perfect Shoe should contain not a single particle'
of space more than necessary, otherwise the Shoe be-"
comes large and ungainly. The Dorothy Dodd Shoe
leaves more space for the foot than any other Shoe we
know of, yet the Shoe itself is absolutely smaller than the
ordinary Shoe. That is because it equally distributes space.
