mines. Twelve men were caught in a
cave in that took place from the 500
level down to the 800. 'The ground at
the place where the accident occurred is
sloped more or less all the way out, so
when it gave way at the 800 level, all
above, as stated, gave way too. The
accident is 6imply one of those unavoid
able occurrences that may be expected
at any time, but cannot be foreseen or
prevented.
There were a dozen men-working in
the slope near the 500 level, and at vari
ous distances down from it. They were
all caught in the cave- Three of them
were near th-j top aud were rescued
alive, but badly injured. The other
nine are so covered with debris, rocks
and timbers that life most have at once
been crushed one of them. The bodies
of three have so far been recovered. All
were unmarried. The work of recover
ing the others is slowly proceeding, but
has to be undertaken with care. Ouly
meager particulars are yet known.
BASE BAi_L RECORD.
Armed Men About to Fight Ovei
the Cutting of a Dyke Trouble,
and Perhaps Bloodshed
Is Now Feared.
St. Louk, May 16.—Opposite the Jef
ferson barracks a number of houses
have been undermined by the flood. It
is believed that all the occnpants es
caped.
On Mnllanphy island, thirty-five miles
north of St. Loais, iu the Missouri river,
fourteen women and chiidreu were res
cued by a volunteer corps.
Several dead bodies have been seen
floating in the water. Most of them,
evidently, came from a long distance.
It is now a common sight to see smail
houses and various articles of furnitnre
traveling past.
All railroad traffic over the Eads
bridge has been abandoned, owing to
the flooded tracks in Illinois. The Bur
lington. Alton, aud other roads ruu pas
senger trams in over the Merchants’
bridge.
The most 8*rious aspect is found near
Venice, between there aud Joplin. The
water backing np the Brooklyn side is
flooding several fine farms, aud the
owners of these went down to cut the
dyke, as by doing this the water would
ruu through on the Venice side, where
the laud is lower.
About twenty of the Venetians are
armed with shot guns pal rolling the
dyke to prevent any attempt to cut it.
The Brooklyn meu are said to be deter
mined to drain their side. Up to mid
night no reri‘ us trouble was reported,
but both sides were on the alert, aud a
conflict mav ensue.
Raving re entered business in my new and roomy
