assisting him, letting him down with
the Windlass. When Mr Hallowell
reached the bottom of the Well, only a
depth ot twenty feet, lie commenced
to feel the effects' of poisonous gas and
called to be drawn up, his call being
promptly responded to, but just as he
reached the top of the well he fell
back, the effects of the gtw completely
unnerving him. A Mr. Thomas
Moore came to the rescue and Went
down Into the Well to relieve Mr. H.,
but he too was overcome, when a third
man, John Hartley, went down and
succeeded in fastening a rope to Mr.
Moore and himself, and was raised up
about half way when the two men be
came fastened in the well, and the as
sistance of pike poles was necessary
to relieve them. Before this Work
was accomplished Hartley was also
overcome, and only lived a short time
after being taken out. Hollowell and
Moore were dead when they were
taken out, This is one of the most
sad catastrophys that it has been our
duty to record, three men, lu the full

landed at Kingston, a place thirteen
miles from Scranton, our course hav
ing bedfl over the Peun. R. R. to
Lewlstown, over the Lewlstown
branch to Northumberland and over
the Bloofnsburgh branch of the D. L.
fcW.lt. tt. to Kingston, Where we
canlpcd in the cars for two days and
lived on hard lack, hnm, potatoes,
benns, and coffee, Our cooking ar
rangements being very meager we
did not live tts well as we should have
dune wltii the amount of provisions
furnished us, as our cooks were too
lasy or too Inexperienced to dish it up
111 much style, aud some of the boys
preferred to pay for their meals outside
to living on camp rations, and no little
amount of grumbling waslhdulged In.
The train- we came In stood on the
track and In It We "roosted" ttt hlgltt,
am! all will testify that camping in the
open field is much to be preferred to
sleeping In the cars.
On Suttmltty wo again started for
Scranton, Which place we reached at
half past seven or eight in the even
ing, Sunday morning dawned bright
and blueing on the eons of Scranton,
and our boys Were soon out ori the
streets viewing the city. Wc visited
the pluce where fotlf persons were
killed last Wednesday and saw where
the blood splattered tin the steps,
sidewalk, and hitching posts, and
Well' shown where the balls had
crushed through the store windows,
and iito the brick walls, some being
ito high ns tn feet from the ground.
A Sabbath stillness pervaded the place
and the "t'burcb-golng-bell" calling
the worshippers to their devotions
gave no token of the recent tragedy,
nor of the foaming and discontented
clement that may break forth at any
time, and lay the city in ashes and
deluge the streets with human gore.
That such an element; treacherous as
an Indian, and as unreliable as the
shifting sands on the seashore, does
exist here no one. doubts. The city
has about forty-five thousand inhabi
tants, of which the miners and iron
workers, number fully two-thirds.
Men ure working at starvation wages
and there is a time when endurance
seems to be no longer a Virtue, and
that time has arrived now, and btlt
for the presence of large bodies of
troops, tilt uprising would be made
here that would place the rioters of
Plttburtjh a lurgo way lit the vhadc.
I have been told that one of the coal
companies' superintendents, Mr.
Scranton, bad said "that thirty cents
a tiny Was enough for a poor mail, and
that he would yet make the miners
cat their own children." Of course
such threats as this does not help to
put out the flame but? serves rather to
increase it, and If Mr. Scratiton's heat)
stays ou his shoulders a Week it Won't
be the fault of the miners, and even
noW he is skulking about the city, in
fear of his life.
In a few hour's the feglhieht Was
formed and marched to a place a little
out of towii Where we pitched our
tents, and got ready to stay a While in
Scranton Several of the boys are
feeling a little homesick, nhd wishing
the cruel wttf would end, although
there is no telling JioW long We may
stay here. The boys of Co. "H"' have

BltomtviLLtt. Hundny morning last,
nt about 1 o'clock, an alarm of fire
was. raised, and it was soon discov
ered the machine shops, of Messrs,
Brown, Roth & Jenks were on fire,
and had gained such headway that
the limited means at the command of
our cltlacha with which to combat the
flames were entirely Inadequate, and
that the main building, In which was
the valuable machinery of the coin
pany, the engine, blacksmith shop
pattern shop nnd office, could not be
saved. The Hook and Ladder Com
pany was promptly on the ground ttfirt
worked manfully, succeeding, with the
assistance of citizens, In sating the
moulding house. The labor required'
to do this was very severe, the heat ut
one time being quite intense.
- During the progress of the fire quite
u panic was created by the cry that
the boiler of the engine Was about to
burst, and it vtts amusing to see the
crowd take to cover. The steam soon
commenced to escape, however, and
the crowd returned and commenced
work upon the fire, succeeding ill
keeping it inside of the building
where It originated.
How the fire originated is yet irt
doubt, but It Is believed by many that
it was the work Of ah incendiary,
there having been threats made to
burn the town, and Very questionable
movements by suspicious characters
observed by several of 6'tif eitlsens.
We hope this is not the case, fbf we
do not Want to believe that Brookville
has in her midst any person who so
richly deserves hanging as he Who
could so Wantonly destroy property

It is just three years this month
since the old machine shops, belong

situutrd on the same ground, were
burned, ahd for setting fire to which
Andrew Miller is now serving a five
year term lu the Penitentiary.
As pertinent to this chronicle of
another disaster to one of Brookville's
greatest interests, one that affects
more or less every citizen and property
owner within the borough limits, we
.merely lnehilon the fact that the
money value of the property burned
last Sunday fiiornihg Would more

been under contemplation, and that
it Was the opinion of nearly every per
son on the ground soori after the
alarm of fire was given, that With u
supply of water and lioso to attach,
there would have been no difficulty in
mastering the flames before any con
siderable damage was done. In this
case, ns in many others, we feel our
people, or tlicir representatives mora
