The total dead Includes three miners, rescued alive, who failed to regain consciousness. Further search of the headings was maas tonignt.

When the gas was Ignited, possibly by an open lamp, the flame roared out through tha fanhouse, while the gas and smoke traveled through the main beading In the other dlreotlon and shot to the surface through the shsft. The consequ' uce was that little debris wss dislodged and miners who were conscious were able to stsgger towsrd the fresh air sone at the sixth heading, where they were round By the first rescue party. It was admitted also that the casualty list would have been much greater had the explosion occurred on any week day but Monday. On other days, 100 or more men usually reported for work, gome miners, for various reasons, do not work on Mon days. The total workers was ad ditionally reduced yeaterdsy by a church mission. When the aas let so. a boo re of miners were attending mass In a Catholic ohurch a few blocks from the mine. These men headed the volunteers who are dig ging the gravea.

HILDEBRAND. Washington, Nov. 7. The election figures tonight proved disquieting to Republicans. The returns from New York all but shivered G. O. P. timbers. That was the first and the most conclusive thing they heard about, and at the office of the Re publican congressional campaign committee they began to wonder whether the Democrats would achieve the Impossible, and capture the house. This set Jf Republicans was inclined to attribute their mis fortunes In the east and out Chicago way to the prohibition issue, and they said It looked aa If the Republican candidates had taken the dry side of the argument with disastrous results. Many Republicans had considered It quite likely that Smith would be elected by a reasonable majority Iri new York but the election of Cope land, the Democratic candidate for the senate., had never figured serious ly in their calculations.

They think he has made a very good sort of President, but that In the cross currents of American politics all the great national lasues that have hitherto appealed to the voter have been lost, that such Issues weigh very lightly upon the national con science, and that mon, If not women, have felt free to tote for such things as a glass of beer, where they felt so Inclined.

Guilford Democratic By Probably 1900 and , , -t rr rr STEDMAN LEADS Davidson Goes Democratic 600 to 700, With Probably 800 For Spruill. RATHER LIGHT VOTE CAST Guilford county went Democratic yesterday by a majority that will sweep Into office every candidate on the ticket and will give J. F. Spruill enough votes to Insure his election aa solicitor of the 12th judicial dis trict. In spit of ths fact that less than half the normal voting atrength of the county went to the polla the Democratlo majority will range around 1,900 and may push 2,000, the largest off-year majority th county has ever known. Ths roost optimistic Democratic leader did not figure on such a sweeping vic tory, but the wave of Democratic strength all over the state and na tion was reflected throughout the county. At midnight partial returns from 34 out of 44 precinct' In Guilford indicated majorities ranging from 1.800 to nearly t,J00. The 10 pre cincts to be heard from Include sev eral that will probably give slight Republican majorities, but . Demo cratic Chairman O. C. Cox and othr leaders early this morning estimated that the figures would not be great ly changed. Light Vete Fast. Th heavy. Democratic majority was piled up In the face of the fact that less than 00 per cent of the voting strength was heard from. Es timates early thla morning wrs that not more than 8.700 votes were- cast In a county that two years ago polled 17.657 votes. In some precincts lass than one-third of the Vote was cast. The voters simply did not vote, but tlm.ie who did voted overwhelming ly the Democratic ticket. With no figures available from Stokes county, the returns from Gull- ford and Davidson Indicate beyond all doubt that J. K. Spruill has swept Into the solicitor's offics over B. t Jerome. Thirty-five precincts In Gull- ford gave Spruill h.Oll and Jerome 1.114, a majority for Spruill of 1. 027. This Is slightly behind most of the tjeket, but not far enough behind to hurt hi chances. Reports from Mr. Spruill himself and from the Daily News' correspondent tndloate that Davidson county, also In the 11th Judicial district, has gone Demo cratic by approximately 060 .votes with Spruill leading his ticket so far that he may have there a majority of 800. Republican estimates before the election were tfiat Stokes would give them a majority of 1,000. Taking that figure at its ace value. Spruill would appear to have probably 1.000 majority In the district and possibly more. Hla election Is certain. MteSntan Leads llnndsomriy. MaJ. Charles M.
