EIGHT MEN MISSING. Fire in the Calumet Mine in Michigan. INCENDIARISM SUSPECTED NO HOPE FOR RESCUE OF THE MISSING MEN. Detroit, Mich, « Nov. 30.—The Journal's special from Calumet, Mich., says: Fire was diseovered at the eighth level of No. 3 shaft of the Calumet branch of the Calumet and Hecla mine this morning. A large party of men were working at the time of the fire, which, when discovered, had made suck progress that the smoke was ter- ribly dense and their lives were in dan- ger. All made a rush for the surface, but eight men are missing. That they are dead is certain. Among them are two ltalians named Joseph Mosoller and Tony Catawara,’ The mine location is completely cov- ered with the dense smoke, and the fire looks worse than did the last, but being pearer the surface it is believed the damage financially will not be so great. The company is making the most desperate efforts to control the flames and to try to rescue the miners, but at this time it looks as if the case Was hopeless. The men are all married but two, and all but one are Cornishmen The scene about the mine is heartrend- ing. The families of the men are, of course, cognizant of the extreme likeli- hood that the men will never come out alive, and to their grief and lamenia- tions are added the most frantic con- fusien on the part of all except the trained employes of the company. Chrict Rule, one of the miners who were at work in the fourteenth level of No. 2 shaft, says that about 11 o'clock last night Le saw and smelled smoke, others to it, Charles G. Sarson and Henry Burkineynki, who were tlor- oughly familiar with the Calumet branch of the mine, at once started up the ladder as far as the tenth level, and then went south to the malu engine shaft and rode up to what 18 called the grand sixth level They then crossed to No. where they saw the shaft all ablaze. The bed plank and mill timbers, top bottom and sides looked as if they bad been burning some time, Burkineynki pipe, opened It, straightened out but there was no water there. He says, however, that nad there been water there it would have helped mat ters none. Seeing this Sarson, who had a nar- row escape from the former fire, led and warned the men to turn back. He and then came to the sarface. ing 1s known of the whereabouts of the ight men who are missing. They were working 1700 feet deep, at the man ing the smoke, they tried to escape and were smothered, Over 100 men were In this portion of the mine at the time, but escaped. The missing are: Joseph Masaler, Antonio Kattlarers, John Vanderbilt, Andrew llanson and two others, naines unknown, a Polander and a Finlanaer. The eight-hour shift men went through No. 3 at 10 o'clock, but saw of an Incendiary 1s believed by all Immense volumes of smoke are issuing from the burning shaft. The fire will not prevent work at the South Hecla, and that part of the mine is now io shape to employ all the miners, and the product can be kept up to the syndi- pate’s limits, the mine materially, and it will be kept up to the limit imposed by the French syndicate, cs ———- = — NO POLITICS IN THE GRAND ARMY.

Kershaw, who resides on Walnut Place, Thirty-sixth and Sansom streets, and who was formerly employed as a special officer of the Citizens’ Protec. tive Association of Bryn Mawr, was shot in the thigh early last evening a short distance from the Bryn Mawr railroad station, and received a painful, though not necessarily dangerous, wound. On account of numerous robberies at Bryn Mawr and adjacent places within the past two months, E. P. Passmore, of the former place, had offered a reward of $200 for the ap- prehension of the robbers, and this, to- gether with rewards offered by other persons, led Kershaw to act upon his own account to trace the thieves. At noon, yesterday, it is stated, he saw (wo men acting suspiciously in the neighborhood of Bryn Mawr and he watched them, He first saw them on Moutgomery avenue, where they were inspecting the premises of Mr. F. F. Hipple, Thence they went to the residence of Howard Roberts, close by, and then proceeded to the house of J. W. Townsend, also on Montgomery avenue, but they made no attempt to enter, Jt 1s said that just prior to the shooting an attempt was made to enter men were frightened off, About half-pastsix o'clock Kershaw, who had followed the strangers, stopped | them and asked where they belonged. | They told him *'it is none of your busi | ness.” He lald his hand upon one of {them and said: “1 am an officer,” | whereupon the other man drew a pis | tol and shot Kershaw, the ball striking { lum in the right thigh and penetrating | to the bone, where it was deflected, | The two men then escaped, going, it 18 | sald, towards Conshohocken. at the railroad station and told of the | occurrence, when Drs, Powell and | Lindsay, of Bryn Mawr, were sum- | moned and the ball, which was of 32 calibre, was extracted, Having had 1s wound attended to Kershaw was placed on a train for the city, and upon | his arrival at Powellon Avenue Station | he was taken In a police patrol wagon to bis home.

The contest had lasted some Lwenly minutes when suddenly the Frenchman caught the swiftly advancing point of his opponent, turned it aside, slipped his own sword quickly down along the other's blade, turning it with a quick wrist motion so that it partly wound around it, and with a sharp wrenching motion tore the weapon away and sent it flying across the floor. Then he saluted, threw his weapon down and left the room.
