Ashland, operated by the Philadelphia and Reading coal and iron company, by which five men were killed, leaving four widows and seven- teen orphans, owing to an anticipated “run” of the “pillars.” The west gang- way had pot been working for a couple of weeks for some reason. Only a few experienced miners were working to dav, or the mortality would have been greater, Notwithstanding all possible circumspection the appresended “run” occurred about 1 o'clock, bringing down with the coal a volume ol deadly gas by which five human victims, to- gether with six mules, were suffocated, The secident was not discovered until two hours later, when the sir of the fa- tal gangway bad been purified to ad. mit of resching the victims they were sll found dead, Their names are Fire Boss Henry Gill, married, and five children, Daniel Fion, married sud ten children, Michael Brennan, married and two obildren, sll of Askiand, and Ebenezer Francel, single, of Giradville, rR AN si Work on the erection of the building on Court street near fifth, Reading, A iBraviag of the White House was | dopted for general use in issuing invita | tions to dinners, and receptions st the Executive mansion.
