THE GREAT CATASTROPnE AT THE ROLLING MILL MINE,JOHNSTOWN, TA., liY AN EXPLOSION OF GAS WHICHCAUSED THE LOSS OF 112 LIVES. I spent the night of July 9 at Altoona, a few miles east of Johns-town, and on the morning of the 10th started for Atlantic City, there in the evening. While on the boardwalk about 10P. M., I heard the newsboys crying out Night extra. Great ex-plosion at Johnstown. 200 or 300 lives lost. I bought a pai)er by the head lines that a terrible disaster had occurred at theRollJn;^ Mill Mine, Johnstown. I gave the report very little cred-ence, as I could not conceive how anything so serious could havehai>pened at this mine, which was one of the safest and best con-ducted in the State. Yet I became very uneasy, as I concluded that. ?.
