A MINE HORROR.
Twenty-three Men Killed by an Ex
plosion of Firedamp.
Fifty Men Were In ll«e Braznel Slialt,
Near Hrownoivllle, Pa., When tlie
Itloanter Occurred—Workmen
« latin that .Ulnlng Lau»
Were lllaregarded.
Brownsville, Pa., Dec. 25. —The ex
plosion of firedamp at the Stockdale
Coal Co.'s Braznel shaft on Saturday is
the worst since the Hill mine disaster
at Dunbar. The explosion was terrific
and was heard plainly at Brownsville,
four miles distant. The main shaft
was totally wrecked.
Pittsburg, Dee. 25. —A special to the
Post from Brownsville says: The hor
ror of the Braznel mine grows in in
tensity with every hour. There were
fifty men in the mine when the explo
sion occurred.
On Sunday the first bodies of t.he
victims were brought out of the mine
and never in the history of mine dis
asters were human beings so horribly
mutilated. It was nearly 11 o'clock
before the first five bodies were taken
out, 28 hours afier the explosion.
From statements obtained yesterday
it seems clear that the presence of gas
in quantities in the mine was perfectly
well known and that naked lights
were used for several days before the
explosion. According to credible au
thority, not a single safety lamp was
used in the mine by the working crews
since last Tuesday morning, four days
before the explosion.
William Pastorious, a driver in the
mine, tells a sensational story. Pas
torious, who has lived in Brownsville for
many years and is regarded as a man
of intelligence, says that Pit Boss
.Tones on last Tuesday morning issued
a general order that all safety lamps
might be dispensed with and in their
stead the miners were permitted to use
naked lamps. Pastorious also states
that the lamps were unlocked, con
trary to regulation.
"The miners always prefer to use
naked lights," said Pastorious, "when
ever possible, as they give better light
and are more easily handled. I have
been working here a couple of months
and used a safety lamp until last
Tuesday morning. At that time mine
safeties were in use by drivers and
others who were constantly moving
about the mine and therefore exposed
to greater risk than a digger in a
room. Contrary to the mining regula
tions the safety lamps in use were in
many cases unlocked. The safeties
were provided by the company, as
usual, and they should be locked so
that it is impossible for a miner to
open them white at work. My lamp
was unlocked and I frequently opened
and closed it. On Tuesday the pit boss
issued an order that the men could
use open lamps and they of course dis
carded the safeties, which made a
poorer light. About 100 yards from
the bottom of the main shaft there
was a fall which had been boarded up
and in which the gas stood against the
roof. I think it was this gas which
exploded."
Brownsville, Pa., Dec. 20. —Work at
the Braznel mine is progressing very
slowly. The country roads from
Brownsville to the mine are almost
impassable and there is no telegraph
or telephone connections with Braznel,
so all news from the mine has to be
brought overland. The fact that last
Saturday was pay day at the mine
and that there were no empty wagons
to load, accounts for many not going
into the mine that morning. Had the
accident occurred any other day there
would have been more than 100 men in
the mine.
That naked lights and unlocked
safety lamps were used in a dangerous
mine was officially confirmed Monday
by Pitt Boss Thomas .lones, who made
a statement which forms the most
sensational chapter on the manage
ment of the mine which has yet devel
oped. Mr. Jones was asked if it was
true that on last Tuesday he issued a
general order that the miners could
dispense with safety lamps.
"Yes sir," was the reply.
"Why did you issue the order?"
"I considered that the mine was safe,
as a 'break through'had been fixed up."
"Safely lamps were used before Tues
day'.""
"Yes."
"Is it true that some safety lamps in
use in the mine were not locked?"
"Yes, it is true that some were not
locked, because I thought the men who
used them were competent to carry
them unlocked."
"Was that not contrary to regula
tions?"
"Oh, there may be a regulation, but
men sometimes carry unlocked lamps
where it is known that they are expe
rienced miners."
Brownsville, Pa., Wee. 27.—Search
for the dead was kept up at the Braz
nel mine yesterday, 'resulting in the
finding of eight more bodies, making
23 victims of the explosion.
IHMaMroiiK Flood*.
Seattle. Wash., Dec. 28.—One of the
most disastrous floods in the history ol
the state is raging along the Nooksak
river in Whatcom county. It is esti
mated thTit at least §30,000 worth ol
damage has been done to the farms
and buildings in the flooded district,
and still the watersshowno indication
of subsiding. Five or seven bridges
over the river have been swept away,
four of them being iron.
Fell From a I Bridge.
Knoxville, Tenn., Dec. 25.—Two men
were knocked from a railroad bridge
70 feet high at Loudon, Tern., yester
day under peculiar circumstances. Sair
Eldridge, one of the men, will die.
The other will probably recover. John
Weare in a drunken condition at
tempted to ride across the high bridge
and had forced his horse along about
40 feet before it fell between the cross
ties. An oncoming train was flagged
just in time to prevetit horse and
rider being killed. In attempting tc
get the horse off the bridge Sam Eld
ridge and William Boggus were
knocked off the structure.
ASK GfiIGGS TO ACT.
Freight Shipper* Hrqiiml the Attor
ney tiini rul to Prevent Itallronda
from liicrea«lng Kate*.
Washington, Dec. 29. —Yesterday the
inter-state commerce commission, in
compliance with the request of the
freight shippers an<i representatives
of the commercial interests, trans
mitted to Atterney General (iriggs a
transcript of the evidence taken at the
hearing last week respecting the new
classification of freight made by the
official classification committee. The
proposed classification is to he made
effective on January 1 by all railroads
using the official classification. These
include more than 00 lines east of the
Mississippi and north of the Ohio and
Potomac rivers. The petition of the
shippers was that the commission
should transmit the evidence taken
before it to the attorney general, with
a recommendation that he institute
legal proceedings, by injunction or
otherwise, to restrain the railroads
from putting the new classification
into effect. To the request of the
shippers the commission in part com
plies. The evidence and arguments
are transmitted to the attorney gen
eral, bu', without recommendation.
The letter of transmittal is long, the
committee desiring to place the case
fully before the attorney general.
After reviewing the proceedings which
led up to the hearing, tlio letter reads:
"In the course of this hearing the
commission took the testimony ofC. E.
Gill, chairman of the official classifica
tion committee; Nathan Guilford,
traffic manager of the New York Cen
tral »<: Hudson Kiver Railroad Co., and
Frank Harriott, a member of the
official classification committee, who
is also the general freight traffic man
ager of the Erie railroad. At the con
elusion of the testimony given by these
witnesses, an application was made by
many of the shippers present that
such testimony be transmitted to the
attorney general of the United States,
the claim being made by them that
the evidence shows a violation of the
Sherman anti-trust law.
"While it is not the province of this
commission to determine whether the
testimony above referred to shows a
violation of the anti-trust law, and no
opinion is expressed upon that point,
there are certain features of the case
to which we deem it proper to call your
attention.
"With some unimportant exceptions
the general fact appears to be that the
class rates at present in force and
which will presumably be applied to
the new classification are now the
same as or higher than they were in
188" when the act to regulate com
merce was passed.
"The protesting shippers assert that
the increases in rates, to the extent
affected by these changes in classifica
tion, are without justification, and will
result in excessive charges upon most
if not all of the articles in question.
They also allege that hardship and in
justice will further result from the
changes which will be made in the
relation of rates, and especially from
the increases in the difference between
carload and less than carload charges.
If their contention in these respects
is well founded, as to which we express
110 opinion, a wrong is about to be ac
complished which the commission is
powerless to prevent and for which
the act to regulate commerce affords
no adequate redress. The facts above
set forth are submitted for your con
sideration."
Attorney General Griggs, who is
ill, has given no intimation yet as to
what action, if any, he may take in
the premises. He will have to review
the testimony before he can reach an
intelligent conclusion. In any event
it will be several days before the mat
ter can be determined.
AN ORIENTAL SCOURGE.
Henlth Authorities In Ca llfornla are
Trying to Prevent the Introduction
of Itiilionlc Plague.
San Francisco, Dec. 29.—The news of
the breaking out of the plague in
Honolulu, brought hen; by the trans
port Centennial, has created some
alarm among the state and city health
officials and every precaution is being
taken to prevent a possible admission
of the disease into this city. The
transports Centennial and Newport,
which arrived Wednesday night, and
the Tartar, which arrived from Manila
yesterday, are now at the quarantine
station undergoing fumigation and
will be detained at Angel island for
some time. The steamer Gaelic is due
here to-day from the Orient via Hono
lulu and will be sent to quarantine
aud held there until all possible dan
ger is past.
News from the Orient is to the effect
thrt the disease is prevalent in China
and Japan to an unusual extent and
that the officers at Manila have taken
precautions to prevent the plague
from getting a foothold there. News
from Bombay is to the effect that the
plague is rampant in India.
War Spirit IK ICampant.
Minneapolis, Minn., Dec. 29.—Willis
(>. Cannon, a lawyar of Montreal, who
ia here, was asked yesterday what the
true condition of Canadian sentiment
is in connection with the African war.
He replied that it was truly repre
sented in the newspapers of Canada,
the only difference being that news-,
papers were to express the in
tensity of the war spirit that pervades
all classes of Canadian subjects.

CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, JANUARY 4, 1900.
AT REST IN ARLINGTON.
IfemaiiiH of tlic Victim* of Hie .Tlalnc
l>l*a*ter are llnried In a National
Cemetery*
Washington, Dec. 29. Upon the
windy heights of Arlington cemetery
the Maine dead, brought from Havana
by the battleship Texas, yesterday
were laid away to their final resting
places with simple religious services
and the impressive honors of war, in
the presence of the president, members
of his cabinet, officers of the army and
navy and other representatives of the
government. A cabinet officer survey
ing the flag-draped coffins before the
ceremonies began said; "The lives of
those men cost Spain her colonies."
The caskets interred yesterday
ranged row on row. Over each was
spread an American ensign upon which
lay a wreath of smilax leaves. Around
the enclosure, shoulder to shoulder,
the yellow of their coat linings form
ing a band of color, were drawn up
the cavalry of Fort Myer; to the right
was a battalion of marines from the
navy yard; to the left a detachment of
jackies from the Texas; in the flag
draped stand in the rear, the president
and his cabinet. Admiral Dewey, Maj.
Gen. Miles and a distinguished group
of officers of the army and navy in
their showy dress uniforms; while all
around pressed tlie throng of people
who had braved the snow and biting
cold to pay their last tribute to the
dead.
There was a tender appropriateness
in the fact that Capt. Sigsbee, who was
in command of the Maine when she
was blown up, had charge of the cere
monies in honor of his men and that
Father Chid wick, who was chaplain of
the Maine, was there to perform the
last rites. Three others who lived
through that awful night in Havana
harbor were at the side of the graves
of their comrades, Lieut. Commander
Wainright, who was executive officer
of the Maine and who sunk the Pluton
and the Furor at Santiago; Lieut. F. C.
Bowers, who was assistant engineer of
the Maine, and Jeremiah Shea, a fire
man on the Maine, who was blown out
of the stokehole of the ship through
the debris, escaping uninjured most
miraculously.
Slowly, solemnly, the Marine band
broke the deep hush, pealing forth the
sad, sweet strains of the diger "Safe
in the Arms of Jesus," and then Chap
lain Clark, of the naval academy at
Annapolis, came forward and took his
place under a canvas-covered shelter
in the open space in front of the dead.
The I'rotestaut services were held
first and were very simple. Chaplain
Clark read the burial service of the
Episcopal church and then gave way
to Father Chidwick. who was assisted
by Revs. Holland and Brown and two
acolytes. With head bared to the win
try blast the Maine's chaplain read a
memorial service according to the
rites of the Catholic church, blessed
the ground, repeated the Lord's
Prayer and concluded with a fervent
appeal for the repose of the souls of
the departed. A detachment of ma
rines then marched to the right of the
graves and fired three volleys over the
dead, and in the deep stillness that fol
lowed the crash the clear notes of a
bugle rang out the soldiers and sail
ors' last good night.
A BIG INSURANCE DEAL.
A Chicago Company Alimirb* a Itlval
Concern Hating 'iß,ooo I'olic) Hold
er*.
Galesburg, 111., Dec. 29.—8y a vote
of 17,097 to 7i) the Covenant Mutual
Life association, of this city, yester
day decided to amalgamate with the
Northwestern Life Assurance Co., of
Chicago. This is the largest insurance
transfer on record, as the 28,000 mem
bers of the Covenant Mutual Life as
sociation, whose policies aggregate
§45,000,000, will go over to the North
western Co. in a body.
There was much opposition among
some members of the Covenant asso
ciation to the transfer and for a time
it looked as though the deal would not
be carried through, but a speech made
by Judge Fawcett, of Omaha, carried
the day for the amalgamation and
once the break was made in the ranks
of the objectors they came over very
fast, and at the close there was prac
tically no opposition. The thing is
likely to get into the courts, however,
as some of the minority are deter
mined to stop the transfer if it be pos
sible. An attempt was made to in
validate the proxies held by the officers
of the Covenant association, but it
failed.
Hostilities Kcnetvcd.
Kingston. Jamaica, Dec. 29.—Colom
bian advices say the endeavors to
effect a compromise between the gov
ernment and the iusurgents have
failed, resulting in a renewal of hostil
ities. On the Pacific side both parties
are marking time, while on the At
lantic side severe lighting has occurred,
The government troops, it appears,
broke the truce and attacked the in
surgents near Baranquilla, who re
treated after a stubborn battle. The
govern taent forces subsequently fell
into a trap and suffered severe losses.
Price of Thread Advance*.
New York, Dec. 29.—'It was an
nounced at the office of the Clark
Thread Co. in Newark, N. J., yester
day that the concern had made an ad
vance on the price of cotton thread to
tiie extent of 15 cents a dozen spools.
The increased price of cotton and the
increase in wages in the New England
mills is given as the cause of the in
crease in price.

Victoria, B. C., Dec. 28. —During
■service Tuesday in the Methodist Mis
sion church in Chinatown an explosion
occurred and CO or 70 Chinese converts
and white people rushed for the street
with the building tumbling about
their heads. All escaped serious in
jury. It was found that a bomb had
been exploded by a slow fuse under
neath the church, and the police are
on the track of Chinese suspects. The
explosion is supposed to be the work
of Chinese highbinders who hoped to
kill seven mission women and the
preacher, Rev. Gardner, who married
a Chinese woman and learned many
secrets of the highbinders through his
wife's relatives.
Twelve months ago he disclosed a
plot by which several Chinese were to
be murdered and the highbinders then
sent him notice that he was marked
for death. The seven Methodist wo
men were instrumental in having the
Chinese girl slaves of prominent
Chinese taken from their masters and
placed in the Methodist home, where
they were taught English and Chris
tianity. Eighteen of the rescued girls
were in the church at the time of the
explosion.

New York, Dec. 29.—James (iresham,
of Brooklyn, has found capital to de
monstrate the commercial value of his
corkscrew boat for which is anticipated
a speed of 50 miles an hour. A syndi
cate of New York capitalists has
agreed to furnish 850,000 to build a
small boat on the corkscrew plan, with
the further understanding that if it
demonstrates its ability on a commer
cial scale to approximate the speed
which the models have reached, the
syndicate will furnish sutlicient capital
to build a small boat. The inventor
promises that his craft will cross the
Atlantic in less than three days.
The vessel, the construction of which
is being arranged for at the Newport
News shipyard, is not intended for pas
senger service, but only for the con
veyance of mail and fast freight and
for use at life saving stations. It is so
constructed that it can penetrate the
surf or the waves of the roughest
weather. The boat is cylindrical in
Shape, with a serpentine flange like a
corkscrew extending from bow to
stern, and the outer shell revolves
through the water, while the inner
compartment maintains its equipoise.

Manila, Dec. 28.—C01. Lockett, with
8. force of 2,500, including artillery, at
tacked Wednesday morning a strong
force of insurgents intrenched in the
mountains near Montalban. about five
miles northeast of San Mateo. The
enemy was completely routed, the
Americans pursuing them through the
hills amid which they fled in every di
rection. Four Americans were wound
ed. The Filipino loss was large, re
sulting from a heavy infantry and ar
tillery lire for three hours into the
trenches.
A dozen lines of insnrgent trenches
covered the steep trail through the
hills and likewise the valley below,
along which the Americans passed.
The main attacking party consisting
of the 4<>th volunteer infantry, a troop
of cavalry and artillery, Col. Lockett
commanding in person. The rest of
the command operated from remote
points in an endeavor to carry out Col.
Lockett's plan of throwing his lines
around the enemy and thus cutting off
retreat. The nature of the mountain
ous country made it impracticable to
execute this movement successfully.
TEST OF ARMOR PLATE.

Washington, Dec. 29. —In the pres
ence of officials of the Russian govern
ment, several United States naval offi
cers and representatives of the Carne
gie Steel Co. an eight-inch Krupp
plate, a part of a lot of armor intended
for the Russian battleship Retvisan,
now being built at the Cramp ship
yard, was tested yesterday at the In
dian Head proving ground. The plate
was 190 inches long. 98 inches wide,
eight inches thick and curved. The
gun used in making the test was an
eight-inch rifle, the projectiles being
armor piercing shells 250 pounds each
in weight. The striking velocity was
feet per second. Four shots were
fired at the corners of a 28-inch square
drawn in the center of the plate. Tne
striking velocity was 1,837 feet per
second for the first shot, 1,791 for the
second, 1,815 for the third and 1,834
for the fourth. The penetration at
tained by the shells ranged from 1 U to
inches. The plate did not crack
under the test and was very little in
jured.

Chattanooga, Tenn., Dec. 29.—Sam

attempted to prevent it, and in the
struggle that ensued Mills shot the
woman and her little son and daugh

Seal Herd* IMiiiiniolied.
Washington, Dec. 28.—Attention to
the Bering Sea controversy between
the United States and Great Britain
has been renewed by the report of Mr.
John M. Morton, the United States
agent on the Seal islands, who has
come onto submit his report and
confer with the authorities. The es
sential point of the report is that the
seal herds have diminished 20 per cent,
within the last year. When the Ber
ing sea negotiations were on last year
•the main contention of the American
authorities was that the herds were
being so diminished by poaching that
the animal would soon become extinct.
