suffocating us.”
Tue after damp delayed the work of
the rescuing party, but the magnitude
of the disaster soon became apparent.
All the men on the raise known as
‘‘Pike’s Peak” stood close together, As
the foul air cleared from No.l tbe work
of rescue began and soon it was seen
that many of tbe miners were suffo
cated. The lower level was warned of
the explosion and made their escape
before the gaseous air reached them.
Cars were taken in and the dead loaded
into them and brought to the mouth of
Oie mine. As the bodies were brought

Harry Taylor, one of the injured,
said :
“1 was repairing sorno track out on
a dump, when I started towards the
mouth of the tunnel to get some tools.
Sudden'y there was an awful report,
and at the tame time black aloud-,
filled with rocks, bore down on me
like a streak of lightning. The next
thing I knew I woke up with a man
pouring some brandy down my throat,
and [ saw men lying all around me
moaning for help.”
The scene around the mine was be
yond description. Women, children
and friendi crowded around, weeping
and wailing, excited beyond oontrul,
waiting to see if the next b jdy brought
out was a loved one.
The financial loss to the oompany
cannot at present be estimated. It is
regard 'd as the worst disaster that
ooourred in this part of the oountry.
The nearest approach to it was the
Southern Paoiflc Almy explosion, live
years ago, when over 100 men were
killed.
Salt Lake City, May 2. —A speoial
from Sootleld at 10:30 o’olock says:
“Two hundred and one bodies have
been recovered. It la now known that
between 300 ane 400 men entered the
mines, and it is also known that the
great majority were killed. Three
thousand dollars hts..betn subsonbed
for the relief of the sufferers.”
A BEAUTIFUL TRIBUTE
To iht Memory of Om Whose Lift Was So
Suddenly Taken from Worldly Oar*.
There were many expreasions of
sorrow in Brunswiok yesterday from
those who read in The Times of the
death of young Osoar Folsom, and to
the fond parents who had lost their
loved one these expressions would
have proved oomfprtlng could th-y but
hhve heard them.
Osoar was a gopd boy, unsullied by
oontact with the world; and the earth
ly idol of bis parents. The Times has
read with Intagflß the tribute which
appeared in yesterday’s issue of the
Tattnall Journal regarding bis life
and death, and herewith reproduces
it for the benefit of the many friends
o< the family In this oity. Tbe ex f raot
reads:
OSCAR S. FOLSOM DEAD.
Son of Mr. and Mr*. Oeorge Folsom-Passed
Away Saturday Evening.
KuiUaville was thrown iuto a fever of surprise
and sadness Saturday afternoon, smth uH., when
the news was circulated over the town that Os
car S. KoUom was dead.
He had 1 'Oon sick tor only a few days, and uo
one thought his Illness was of a Serious nature,
until Saturday morning. Every thing was done
him thatcophl lie itane; and never waa a
doctor moi-ft faithful Iti.the discharge of hia ilu
tfes nltd exercise of his mental skill than Dr.

and had to claim its own—to sadden a ilresute

Oscar was horn in Brunswick, Ga:, July a,
1 ssd,and .wa- the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs.
I,'oorgo Folium. Although he was only 14 years
old and a hoy, he was ve* a man in liearlng, site

unassuming, good boy—a gffneft! flvorile witli
bla associates, and, in fact, waa liked by ali who
know him.
Thin w aa ovidonced by tbe teat s shed, the kind
words upvken, and the beautiful Moral offerings
from thejadics of tlie town, Out yonder, in
God's sacred field, he lies - liis giavo a fragrant,
mound of roses and other lovely flowers, placed
there by the bands of God's mir.istoring angels,
an u. last tribute of respect to a mother's son; to
one upon wliotn many a fond parental hope bad
been builded, as a mark of love and comfort to
a broken-hearted and grief-stricken mother.
The good people were very kind to the bereaved
family, bent down under their Load of sorrow 1
which kindness these sad hearts can never for*
got.
He was handsomely dressed and laid away in
a beautiful casket. Tbe mother's last tearful
game, the father's last look upon hopes and hap
piness that had withered and died were at Lhe
grave upon their dead boy, lying therein his
handsome casket as natural as if sleeping,with
a beat if ul white flower pinned on the lapel of
his coat, siiclt a fitting emblem of the short life
be had lived. \
The funeral services took place at the Metho
dist church Sunday afternoon at three o’clock,
conducted by Bey. D. F. Sheppard of Daisy, Ga.
The pallbearers wore from boys of his age and
h!/.e—his associates Claud Collins, Seldon Fag
terling, Keach Burkhalter, Joshua Beasley.
Walton Easterling and Beldon Ueery. Mr.
Sheppard’s words were like messengers oflove
sent as a comforter, directed to sorrowing
hearts from a Father’s throne above, while the
sweet songs sung by the choir were also lilting
to the sad scene, for his body lay there “Asleep
in Jesus, Resting in the arms of Jesus.’’
Oscar leaves his parents, three brothers and
an infant sister, together with a host of friends,
to mourn his death. The bereaved family share*
the sympathy of this entire community. He
Was a fond mother’s idol and a kind father’s
hope, as truly devoted to them as they were to
him. His gteat devotion to big mother Was a
mark of his character! and no Holder mark of

STARVING SOLDIER
SEVERELY PUNISHED
No Mercy .Shown One Who Had
Merely Stolen One
„ Chicken.
CRUCIFIED AND EXPOSED TO SDN
Details of Horrible Cruelties Inflicted on
a Militiaman-House of Commons to
Investigate the Case.
New York, May 3.—A special to the
World fromO’.tawa eaye:
Col. MoLennau has presented in tlie
Canadian house of commons a petition
from bis constituency .asking the gov
ernment to inquire into the report
that a soldier in the First Canadian
contingent had heeu punished for loot
ing. It appears that after a long ar
duous maroh, and after having fought
in the battle of Paardeburg, the Cana
dians were exhausted and half starv
ing, having subsisted on quarter ra
tions for three weeks.
The Canadian in question, a private,
driven frantic by hunger, “oomunan-
deered” a Boer farmer’s chicken,which
he shared with his tent oompinions.
He was subsequently courtmartialed
for looting, and a war correspondent
reports that the British officers sen
tenced him to 50 days’confinement as
punishment.
This was carried on by a species of
cruoiflxion, the victim being bound
with outstretohed arms and bgs on
the wheel of a fit Id gun carriage in
the faoe of the blazing sun for two
hours each day. The agony is said to
Jiave been intense, - -
The minister of militia could not
confirm or deny the correspondent's
dispatch,
It was ahown that such a baibarous
form of punishment is not provided
for in the army laws of England, and
the government was asked to give the
botjap i (llcisl information upon it
The report of Color.el Otter received
here does not state t he kind of punish
ment meted out to the troops, but
adds:
No doubt the provocation was great,
considering ill# lack of food for the
previous three weeks, yet the offense,
from a military point of view, could
not be palliated.
