uERSV RARROW ESCAPE
Plgbt Tkdr Way Through riamea aid
Stifling Smoke.
P0URTEEX MULES SITP0CATED
PasapRaaaer Uivos the Alarai aad Ro
cosbos I'acoascious-Stnrgss' Shaft,
la Peokvillo, the Scene of a Fie roe
Fire Thrilling Expsrlenoe.
Soon after the night shift went to
work In the Sturges shaft of the New
York and Srranton Coal company at
Peekvllle, last night, lire iiroke out In
the pump house, and the fourteen
miners who constitute the shift were
only saved by the bravery of the pump
runner, Edward Williams.
Fourteen mules suffered the fate that
might have been the lot of the minors
had they not received the timely warn
ing that they did.
Williams, who was baijly burned
about the face and suffering a partial
collapse from the effects of the smoke
and the excitement and exertion which
he underwent, was In a semi-conscious
condition up to the time ot this writing,
and the story of the origin of the lire
could not be fully learned. It appears,
however, that the fire was started ty an
electric light wire, and that upon dis
covering It Williams attempted to ex
tinguish It unaided, he being tho only
person at the foot of the shaft at the
time.
Pained Through Smoksaad Home.
Finding that hla efforts would prove
futile he made a dush through the
smoke and flames to open the mule
barn door, which adjoined the pump
house, but he was driven back by the
Are, and. with his face badly burned,
he turned his attention to the men who
were working at a distance of about
half a mile or 3.500 feet from the foot
of the shaft, and on the opposite side
from the fire. '
Frank James, a driver, and Charles
Row lee. a leader, were togather in the
main, gangway when they saw a light
advancing rapidly toward them, and a
moment later heard the startling cry
of 'fire." At the same instant the lignt
disappeared. Rushing to the spot they
discovered the pump runner where he
had fallen, his lamp extinguished by
the fall and he unconscious stretched
out across the track.
Picking up the senseless form be
tween them they hastened to alarm the
other men who were scattered about
In various chambers. Wlien all had
been given the alarm they banded to
gether and made for the foot. The
smoke grew dense as they advanced
and by the time they reached the car
riage It was stifling. They were quick
ly raised to the surface through the
dense volume of smoke that poured
through the shaft, which was a verita
ble chimney for the blazing furnace bo-
tow. All reached the pure air In safe
ty, but almost suffocated. .
Rlno Ridge Gave tho Alarm.
During the time that the engineer of
the Sturges' shaft was engaged In
hoisting the men, the engineer at tho
Blue Ridge colliery, seeing the smoke
issuing from the Sturges, and having
heard no alarm, sounded the breaker
gong, which soon brought the whole
settlement to the mouth of the shaft,
The mine ambulance was hurriedly pre
pared and doctors dispatched for. None
of the men needed particular attention
with the exception of Williams, whose
case was found to be very serious. He
was conveyed to his home, In Peekvllle,
and at last reports was no better. He
was in a state of utter collapse and
suffering from the burns on his face.
It is thought, however, that he will
ultimately recover.
Superintendent Henry Chapman was
among the first on the scene. He Im
mediately set to work to extinguish the
fire, and with tho co-operation of In
skle Euperintwrwlent Sab Williams, of
the Blue Ridge, organized a gang to
attack the fh-e by way of the air shaft
Matt Walker, George Mowles, Nerron
Williams, James Davy and Moses
Howells volunteered to accompany the
two superintendents.
By stopping the fan when the men
reached the bottom the air course was
changed and they were enabled to aip
proach the Ore with .the current at
their backs. The Wilson Hose com'
pany, ot Peekvllle, which had respond
ed to the alarm, let their hose down the
shaft and soon a strong force ot water
was being thrown on the Are, which
had now become double fierce, as tho
grainary adjoining tlhe pump house had
also taken fire.
I' Irs Under Control.
10 o'clock tho men came to the
surface and announced that they had
prevented the flre from communicating
to the coat. The barn also escaped' de
struction, .but the fourteen mules were
found suffocated. They were dead be
fore tho fire-fighters reached the place.
WUHoims, the Injured man, was mar
ried only last Wednesday. His fatlher,
.Sid Willisana, Is a cripple, having re
ceived a permanent injury to tils back a
cumber of years ago in a mine accident.

In almost every manner known to poli
ticians. But it is .pleasing to no.e that
this year the electors of the borough
propose to make a desperate effort to
overthrow it his lecherous ga rig."
The article goes on to charge the
plaintiff with divers offenses, among
them being one of misappropriating
public 'funds to the amount of $1,500 per
year; also, of 'being concerned as a pub'

Yachtsmen, appreciating tho value of a

permit the sail to Increase quickly In area
and fn propulsive power In proportion to

TUK SYSTEM IS VR0X0.
Prlncciou's Trulnlng Muiliods lolled of
the Chief Alia-Msa Ucakoncd by In
Jiule and t:xejs of Uork-t nJor
g 'Sdnutea to Take Decisive Steps.
Tho last year has been the most dis
astrous of any In the athh-tlu annuls
of Princeton, says a special dispatch
to the Chicago Record. In every lb-Id,
and In every effort, the supporters of
the orange and black were unsuccess
ful, and now, after the excitement of
the last few garnet has subsided, the
undergraduates are busy assigning
causes for their defeats. The senti
ment that the cause, whatever It may
be, must be eradicated has found fre
quent expression from all during the
last few months. Various causes have
been suggested, the most reasonable
being a system of training too severe
In theory and worse than no system In
practice. With the notable exception
of the chumplonshlp eleven of 18i3, the
teams have for four years entered the
contests crippled and weakened by
months of work much more severe than
that undergone ty the strongest pro
fessionals. As regards management, It has often
been said "on the Inside of the quad
rangle" that In the elections the spirit
of loyallty to college has given away
to love for club, and this has been too
well proven In the last few years, when
the fittest and most deserving were
pushed aside for one whose only quali
fication was that of belonging to the
club having the largest number of men
on the team.
A review of the teams and their work
this season will readily show that the
tTalnlng syrtem has not only failed in
its chief aim, that of strengthening the
men, but has materially weakened the
team by injuries and an excf ss of work.
In September the season opened with
th? championship team of 1893. with
two exceptions, working on the grid
iron with a snap and vim which au
gured well for a repetition of their for
mer victory. Week by week the vet
erans tried and true were Injured or
Incapacitated, until when the Tigers
met Pennsylvania but four of the men
were in condition to play and three lett
their beds to enter the game. The fal
lacy of such a training system Is only
too obvlouswhen the very means em
ployed for 'attaining success becomes
the chief destroying factor.
In track athletics and 'base ball the
mistakes of training were as flagrant
as In football. The records In the in
door exhibition in February were su
perior to those of the Harvard team
and equal to those of Yale at (hat time.
However, six weeks of training resulted
in crippling the two most valuable men,
Kumler and Susk, and weakening the
entire team, while mismanagement lost
Goodman and several of the best men.
Financially speaking, the season was
a dismal failure.
Were Cancelled Bills.
Washington, July SI. The pieces of the
two one thousand-dollar notes found In
the rubbish of an office building in this
olty by the wife of the Janitor, have been
discovered to be worthless. They were
halves of bills cancelled and sent to the
mascerator many years ago and then
stolen from the treasury. That explains
why no effort was made to pass them.
