THE SCKANTON 1TIIBTJNE TUESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 9, 1894.
GENERAL NEWS
OF
APlttston special to the Philadelphia
Times 8:tb: Tu wonderful escape from
their living tomb of the four inineri
whoso rescue from tb eave-in portion
of the Northwest mine at Carbondale
recalls a similar osoarrenoa that took
' plate io tbesame town in the first dayi
of anthracite coal mining. The men
who first opened tbe Northwest mine
were James and John Host?, and. by a
strange coincidence, their father, John
Hosie, one of the pioneer operator of
the anthracite region, was the princi
pal aotor in it. Mr. Hosie, who died at
boranton some ten yours ago, was
widely known throughout tbe
coal regions, from Carbondale to
Pottsville, aa a man of the
most quiet and retiring dis
position, bnt of indomitable will and
magnificent oonrage, that were splen
didly demonstrated by his escape un
aided from the caved-in recesses of a
mine located but a short distance from
the Northwest oolliery, the soene of last
week's resone. Mr. Hosie was assistant
superintendent of the Delaware and
Hudson Canal company's mines at Car
bondale, and on Jan. 12, 184G, early in
the morning, went into what was known
as the No. 2 mine, at the request of a
fellow superintendent, to examine tbe
workings, which were showing signs of
a "squeeze," tbe technical terms for an
impending cave-in of tbe overlaying
rock strata. He bad reached a point
two miles distant from tbe month of
the tunnel when, stepping aside to
allow. tha passage of u loaded ear on
its way out remained after it had goue
by in the position whleb he had taken,
waiting for tbe noise of tbe receding
car to die out in order to detect, if pos
sible, tbe crackling noises that are
wout to precede and foretell to exper
ienced miners the coming saving in of
coal workings. As be stood alongside
of the track with bis buck against the
I illar of eoal that formed the side of
, the gangway, there came a sadden and
fierce rush of air, and like a hage mis
sile burled from a mighty gun a loaded
car from back in tne remote workings
shot by him, a roaring, crashing sound
us if the mountains were being burled
down for a second filled tbe air, and
then Mr. Hosie found him3elf in the
durkness of the blackest nijjhr, a
prisoner surrounded by heaving and
groaning rocks that threatened every
instant to close down upon him, and to
crush tha breath of life from his body.
Pressed botween the fallen rocks and
the bottom of the gangway, there was
scarcely room left for his prostrate
body. Abont forty acres of tha over
hanging rocks and earth had caved in,
imprisoning with him fifteen others,
none of whom never again saw the light
of day, the concussion of tbe fall kill
ing them. Mr. Hosie, however, es
caped instant death by the refuse coal
which is ordinarily loft on the bottom
of the mine. As It was be was pressed
between the fallen rocks and tbe bot
tom of tbe mine, with scarcely enouzh
SD'ice for bis prostrate body. In utter
lurkness, with nothing but his bare
hands to work with, for twenty-four
hours, every one of which seemed an
age, he dug for his life, throwing
behind him as be advanced tbe
fallen debris and refuse coal
upon which tbe fallen mass rested. His
fingers were worn to tbe bone and bore
the marks of bis thrilling experionca
until the day of his death. At length
be reached a place where he oould
stand up only to find, however, be
was still inside tbe fall, He next at
tempted to reach an air shaft, but failed.
It finally ocourred to him that by fol
lowing the break in the overhanging
rock made next to the line of solid coal,
be might work his way to tbe main
eutranoe. Following np this thought
he finally, after being literally buried
in this living tomb tor seventy-two
boars, effdctel bis escape. He
bad been given up for dead,
as it was known be had stepped
aside for tbe first car; to pass, and bad
spoken to the mule driver as he was
passing along just previous to the fall.
As he emerged from his tomb he met a
party of miners, before reaching tbe
entrance, who had entered tbe mine
for the purpose of digging for his body.
Instead, they found a pretty live sorpss
in the person of Mr. Hoaie himself ap
proaching them. The news of his es
cape sent a thrill of joy throughout the
country, and it would be impossible
for pen to describe the feelings of tbe
yonng wife wbo two months before
bad began married life with him, wbo
bad given her hnsband up for lost,
when the glad tiding! of his deliver
on oe were borne to her.
The New York Commercial Adver
tiser speaks in favorable terms of the
following two Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western officials wbo bave many
friends in Scran ton: "William Sloan,
tbe general freight agent of tbe Dela
ware, Lackawanna and Western, re
sembles Lis distinguished father,
Bsmnel Sloan, president of the com
pany, in many respects. He has been
well trained for the duties of tbe office,'
and displays tbe same conservatism
and business instinct as bis venerable
sire. He is still young, and those wbo
are in a position to know predict for
him a brilliant oareer. W. F. Holwill
makes bnt little noise, but makes bis
presence felt for all that. As the gen
eral passenger agent of the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western road his
Unties are very important, and he fills
tbe bill to tbe satUfaetion of the officers
of bis road, as well as the pnblie. Pre
vious to his road becoming a trnnk
line bis work was merely of a routine
character, bnt he has kept pace with
its development with remarkable skill
and has surprised everybody by his
complete mastery of the duties of his
position."
Minor Industrial Notesi
. Edward H. Hobl, of Manch Chunk, has
been appointed official Inspector of watches
and clocks for the Lehigh Valley railroad.
Mr. Huhl is a son of George Hohl, of Ess
ton. Reports from the Pettebone mine state
that tbe repairs to the mints are nearly
completed and coal will probably be
hoisted in a short time. They have had a
dear experience with fire and water. ,
John Williams, who wan superintendent
tor the Newport Coal 'company, at Lee,
went to Luzerne borough on Friday, of
last week, where he has accepted the po
sition of mine foreman for tbe Kaub com
pany, Tbe Advance Coal Company has sold its
breaker, near Avondale, to Reynolds &
Moyer of Kingston. A number of repairs
bave been made in and abont tbe breaker,
which bas been Idle for some time. It will
resume operations this week and it is ex
pected that 300 tons of coal will be
cleaned daily. The superintendent Is
George Schoonover.
After many experiments the Reading
Railroad company bas commenced the nss
of bituminous coal in many of it en
gines. Tbe change was resorted to on the
score of eocnomy. Two large iron barrows
ol bituminous eoal to one of anthracite
were used one day last week. It is also
contended that the fire boxes In the en
gines selected for the burning of bitumi
nous coal are small and well adapted for
the new sjstcm of raising steam.

WHALTNCt weapons.
f , . -
THE OLD SPEAR HAS BEEN SUC
CEEDED BY SURER MISSILES.
A Combination Dart and Powerful Bomb
That Generally Bailee Commotion In
the Interior of the Biggest Whale En
counteredHow It Works.
Not the least interesting of the articles
disgorged by the whaler of today are the
weapons with which the blubber hunters
slay the leviathans of the deep. Whalers
who keep pace with tbe times use neither
the old harpoon nor the heavy bomb throw
ing gun that succeeded it. A combination
of both enters into tbe latter day weapon,
and its use requires such muscle, nerve
and accurate judgment that something of
the glory and emoluments of the ancient
harpooner are once more attached to the
successful boat header.
Two weapons are employed in killing.
Whalers call the first one a "darting gun."
It is a queer looking contrivance, mounted
on a wooden Bhaft from eight to ten feet
long, and bearing more resemblance to a
clumsy three tiued fork, with the tines of
unequal size and length, than anything
else. The central tine is the gun, and the
others are respectively tbe harpoon and the
trigger. But the burpoon is not called a
harpoon; it is a "toggle iron," a slender
iron pike some 24 feet iu length, with a
loop near the butt to which the whale line
proper is made fast. Half a dozen inches
from the point a hinge is set in by a rivet.
When closed for penetrating this hinge
presents a sharp, cutting edge and a grad
ual slope that offers no impediment to the
iron's movement through tbe blubber.
Tbe slightest resistance from the rear,
such as a pull 'on the line, opens this binge
or toggle joint to right angles, and the
lower end of the hinge presents a broad
concave surface that holds the iron from
being withdrawn save by tearing a path
out through the flesh equal to the length
of tbe hiuge some Ave inches. This iron
penetrates much deeper thun any other
portion of the "gun," and by it the whule
is held in leash and followed in event the
bomb fails to do its work.
The central tine of the huge fork is the
gun proper, and a queer looking gun it is.
A copper cylinder an inch to an inch and
a half in diameter firmly fastened to a lit
tle square metal box on the end of the
shaft is all that is, visible of the mechan
ism, and there is nothing to suggest gun
nbout either cylinder or box. There is a
little door set iu the box, however, and
when that is opened a lock and trigger are
disclosed, which connect with the third
tine. On the Inside of tbe box the trigger
fires an ounce of powder in the butt of the
cylinder, and this propels the bomb from
the mouth of the cylinder at the same time
that it ignites a five second fuse leading to
the chamber of the bomb.
The bomb looks more like a brass rail
road spike without a head than an imple
ment of destruction. It is slightly larger
than a railroad spike, however, and is
charged with tonite. It is usually strong
enough to create a fatal commotion in the
lntorior of the largest whale afloat.
An understanding of the simple method
of the cumbersome affair is not a matter
of difficulty. The bow is the location of the
whaler who plays tbe part of the harpooner
of old. His object is to bury bis ponderous
weapon just back of the fin. Twenty-five
feet is considered a long cast, but there are
a few much sought after giants who can
add ten feet to this distance without losing
anything of their accuracy of aim. The
keen toggle iron, pushed by the weight of
tbe other hamper, penetrates the soft blub
ber to a depth of four or five feet before it
releases itself from the loose rings used to
hold it to the bead of the wooden shaft.
The "gun's" penetration amounts to
just sufficient to steady it before tbe third
tine or trigger performs its part. This
trigger is a blunt iron rod of just sufficient
length to come in violent contact, end on,
with the whale's hide when the copper
cylinder serving as a gun barrel is directed
fairly aguinst the target. The pressure on
the rod touches oil the trigger; this ex
plodes the powder charge, and the powder
charge speeds t he bomb uf tir the toggle
iron into tbe whale's vitals, the five second
fuse burning as it is dragged through the
outlying blubber.
The damage up to date is trifling, speak
ing from a whale's standpoint, but when
that explosion of tonite occurs in bis inner
consciousness it is usually sufficient to put
any thoughts of future existence out of
his head. Not always, though. Tbe bomb
may not no near a vital spot or tbe fuse
may not ignite the tonite, and there is an
anxious minute or two while the monster
goes below, impelled by the shock of his
wounds. If he comes up in a "flurry," as
whalemen call the death agony, well and
good, but if there is an Intelligent vigor in
bis movements, betokening a desire for re
venge or escape, there is another bomb
waiting for bim. This one is from a 24
pound gun, for which the bead killer in
the bow bas exchanged his darting gun.
The latter, by the wuy, is all recovered but
tbe bomb. The powder charge rids it of
the bomb and the toggle iron and the gun
and the trigger remain fixed to the wood
en shaft, which is connected with the boat
by a few fathoms of light line.
The real whale line is fast to the toggle
iron, burled deep in the.monster's fat, and
it goes whirring out of its tub to such lim
itless lengths that there is no possibility ot
the whale's dragging the boat down with
bim. It is a light line, but tough, and a
whale could tow a boat around by it all
day without fear of its breaking.
The guns reserved for the finishing bomb
are of two patterns. One is an extremely
heavy affair, bordering on being a youug
cannon, and is mounted ou a swivel in the
bow, While the other is a large edition of
the cutoff shotguu, with a cushion of rub
ber in tlio stock to save the shoulder of the
man who fires it. The bombs are ot the
same character as those used in the baud
propelled darting gun, but are larger and
more symmetrical in shape, and are feath
ered with rubber, arrow fashion, to insure
their voyaging end on.
A bomb costs about $1.75 loaded, and tbe
whaleman doesn't care if it takes bait a
dozen of them to kill if they only get the
bowhead. Tbe bowhead's jaw contains
1,250 pounds of bone on the average, bo
that there is a profit over the cost of an
extra bomb or two, especially when bone is
