TWO MEN KILLED
BY RUSH OF DIRT
TERRIBLE MINE ACCIDENT AT
MAHANOY.
The Victims Meet Death While Try
ing to Remove n. Large Quantity
of Mine Slush Which Had Worked
Into a Gangway Hundreds of Tons
of Lose Dirt Fall on the Men.
Mahanoy Plane, Pn., Nov. 4.-Foui-men
were killed, two seriously Injured
and one hnil n narrow escape from
death by a rush of dirt In the mine
operated by Lawrence & Brown, near
here, today. The dead are: Georo
Uozshes, of Mahanoy Plane, married;
Michael Itornsky, of Maizevllle, mar
ried; Joseph Bozshes, or ainnaiiuy
Plane, married; Michael Drabls, of
Malzevllle, married.
Those Injured are: John Currln,
hack injured and legs crushed; Mich
ael Hansas, Internally Injured, recov
ery doubtful.
The men had been sent Into a cantr
way to remove a large quantity of mine
slush which had worked into the place
through a breach which the company
was lllllng with dirt from the colliery.
An hour later there was n sudden rush
of dirt from above and before the
men could escape hundreds of tons of
dirt llll"d the gangway and covered
four of the men. The others who
stood further away were hurled against
the side of hpavy timber and other
debris. Michael Wolff wns thrown
on a iimall hand car and the Impetus
of the onrushlng dirt sent the car out
of harm's way with Wolff on It.
A gang of men was Immediately
set to work rescuing the men. Curry
and Hansas were extricated, but the
other four unfortunates could not bo
reached. At a late hour tonight a
gang of men was stilt at work digging
at the culm In an effort to reach the
smothered men.
The mine Is probably the deepest In
the region, having a depth of 1.200 feet,
or four lifts. The accident occurred
at the first lift, which was badly
wrecked.
MR. WRIGHT'S STATEMENT.
Denies That He Is Responsible for
the Shew and Eagan Continuance.
Special to The Scrnnton Tribune.
Montrose, Nov. 5. The coming elec
tion nromlses to be lively here. The
Democrats of the county have concen
trated their efforts upon the attempt to
defeat Samuel S. Wright, candidate for
register and recorder. In addition to
other catnpaljr. thunder, the Montrose
Democrat l.i Its last Issue Intimates
that CandlJate Wright has been work
ing In tlu Interest of Eagan and Shew,
tho condemned murderers, who have
been respited several times by the
board of pardons.
No subject could be Introduced that
would be likely to stir up mote bitter
ness. TlTo following statement, signed
by Mr. Wright, fully covers the ground
aid the charges made against Mr.
Wright in the Democrat:
To Republicans :
The Democrat In Its last Issue has at
tempted In tho most unfair; cruel and
shameful manner, to place tho responsibil
ity for the continuance of tho Shew and
Eagan cases upon me, iven going to the
extent of dragging my little daughter
Into the case. Tho paper Is always print
ed on Thursday but was held this week
until lato Friday afternoon In order that
1 should have no opportunity to reply In
tho regular manner before election. The
Itepubllran stopped Its press and I was
thereby enabled to make a reply which
appears in that paper. I denounce those
statements as false and only calculated
to Injure mo at the election
it Is unnecessary
for mo to answer
those statements specifically. I state un-
nuallfledly that I have written no letters
favoring either a commutation or exe
cution of sentence. Neither have I at
tempted to Influence any member of the
beard of pardons by personal interview,
by letter, or otherwise, nor have I either
risked, or caused another person to do
tho same. This applies to tho execution
of the sentence, tho commutation of the
t-entence, and postponement of the case
by the board of pardons. Very truly,
Samuel S. Wright.

THE MARKETS.
Wall Street Review.
New York, Nov. 4 Since tho surplus
reserves of the New York banks fell to
about a quarter of a million dollars ia
middle of September the professional
traders In stocks havo looked for a de
ficit In tho required cash reserves of the
banks almost every week. Tho wiping
out of tho surplus shown today wis,
therefore, not a surprise. Tho week's
events made the stock market peculiarly
vulnerable In spots and tho slump in
prices of a few stocks gavo on appear
ance of demoralization to tho market.
Leather, especially, which touched 40 at
tho opening, and was above 39 when the
bank statement appeared, slumped sud
denly to 25, tho breaks between transac
tions reaching as high as thrco points.
Marginal accounts In this specialty wero
wiped out right and left, and then tho
prlco waB bid up ngaln to 35, at which It
closed. Sugar and Brooklyn Transit were
also losers to the extent of over two
points. A number of other prominent In
dustrials lost between one and two points,
but the general list reacted only a frac
tion. There wero some violent recover
ies from the low level and the closing
was feverish and greatly excited at not
losses nil through tho list. The specu
lative excitement at net losses all through
tho list. The speculative excitement was
Increased by the fact that tho bank
statement was withheld until ten min
utes before the closo of the tradhig. Ef
forts to closo accounts In tho short tlmo
remaining, made tho market furiously
active. The loss In cash shown by tho
statement Is somewhat greater than was
expected, which Is doubtless brought over
from last week's condition by the aver
age system of computations. Tho trivial
contraction la louns of less than a quar
ter of a million dollars can only bo ex
plained on the assumption that the whole
sale calling of loans by tho banks early
In the week was offset by n subsequent
very liberal extension of credits. Tho
growing cate In the money market goes
to confirm this vUw. Such extension of
credits must bo bated on a faith of tho
barkers. Curient drain on their cash re
source Is so to bo relaxed. The up
ward tendency of New York exchange at
all Interior points durlrg tho past week
Indicates the ground of this faith. The
weekly bank statement of the New York
clearing house institutions had not shown
a deficit sli'co 1S93. For six weeks pest,
however, tho surplus has been nrar the
vanishing points ni'd at lcat half and
sometimes more of the individual mem
bers ot tho clearing house have been be
low the legal reserve limit. They have
not sought to build up a surplus In that
time, but have apparently been content
to discriminate In tho calling of leans
against collateral which did not please
them and, with their security thus im
pioved to keep their funds loaned up to
the limit of the legal allowance. The
average cash holdlrgs now fall of tho
legal requirement by $33S.S50. Tho amount
of loan contraction necessary to bring
the proportion of reserve back to tho
legal requirement would therefore be $1,
3.r,1,400. Total sales of stocks, 319,700
shares.

tive stocks of the New York stock mar
