DEATH LIST NUMBERS 111
Thrilling Experience Attended the
Efforts of Rescuers.
Johnstown. Pa.. July 12. Of the 600
men mp-iosej to have entered the
month of the Rollins Mill mine of the
Cambria Mr-el Company on Thursday
morning 111 are dead, 22 were res
cued alive and many others escaped
from the mine and reported at the
sfflee of the company. Thrilling experi
ences attended the efforts of the 40
brave nnd ilarin? fellu who went
down Into the bowels of the earth
with a very faint hope to spur them
that still they might be In time to re
store to life some of those who are
entombed. Death lurked everywhere
ar nind them, but undaunted they surg

of human purposes.

which they had been unable to reach
the night before. Falls of roof almost
choked up the heading, but through and
over the debris the brave men p.ished
their way. In the front Patrick Mar-'

and several others made their way. I
Suddenly in an open space they were
tartlod by the maniac laimh which'
emanated from a blackened form that!
rushed at them out of the darkness.;
The man grasped firmly a pick handle,
and tried in his frenzy to beat down his'
rescuers. He was overpowered and
dragged back to the main heading to
the cars. Thirteen other living men
were found in this chamber and physi-'
clans were quickly taken to the spot. !
The remains of son 3 of the dead
were In a terrible state, showing that
there had been slow death in each
case, tine of the men had his mouth
and nose tied about by a towel. The
rest of his face was burned beyond re
cognition. The bodies of all were
twisteil in horrible shapes, most of the
arms being crooked so as to shield the
face. The only one who could be iden
ti'ied at the pit mouth was Fire Boss
Joseph Tonilinson. Nearly all the
bodies were identified at the morgue,

MINE VICTIMS FUNERALS
Men Who Lost Their Lives in Explo
sion Laid to Rest. ,
Johnstown. Pa., July 14. After a'
consultation Inst evening with the four
state mine inspectors, summoned here
to make a thorough inspection of the
rolling mill mine of the Cambria Steel
Comi'-e, James K. Roderick, chief ol
the sta. iiireaii of mining inspection,'
dlctatet' i notice to General Manager
C. S. ri .ee, of the Cambria Company 1
granting tormal permission to resume
operaC n all sections of the mine
excep Klondike this morning. The
Klou'V workings will likely be closed
for 8c.:ral days until perfect security
Is assured through the brattlclng of
openings and repairs necessitated by
the explosion.
It is generally regarded as certain
that the full extent of the disaster Is
now known. State inspectors say that
the condition of all the workings are
now free ol gas, ami the almost perfect
ventilating apparatus are rushing cur
rents of pure air into the uttermost
recesses of the subterranean workings.
There has not been a single place out
side of the old abandoned chambers
that have not undergone the scrutiny
of experts to pronounce everything in
as good condition as could be asked or
demanded.
Saddest of all the scenes following
the mine disaster of Thursday were
those unending the funerals Satur
day ami yestenlay of the K.4
victims. I'nder the black pall ot
smoke that hangs over the city
church bells tidied continually, and all
lay long the tlead carts rumhlel
through tin streets to the Slav, Crea
tion. Greek and Itoman Catholic
churches, where the scenes of leave
taking were most affecting. Nearly
all the funerals tool; place in the cem
etery where are buried the tlead of the
great Johnstown flood.
The burial was simplified by the dig
ging of long trenches, in place of sep
arate graves. In one of these 25 cof
fins were lowered.
AUTIIIMt J. BALFO0B.
England's New Premier.
A. J. Pal four, the first lord of the
treasury and government leader in the
house of commons has been appointed
to succeed him.
The Marquis of Salisbury tendered
his resignation at an audience which
he had with King Edward last Friday.
Saturday Mr. Balfour visited the king
and accepted the premiership.
While it was expected in official and
political circles that Lord Salisbury's
retirement would be coincident with
the coronation of King Edward, It was
scarcely looked for prior to that event.
Consequently about the only surprlso
expressed as the news sprend through
London concerned the date rather than
the fact of the resignation. The real
Interest was not so much In reference
to Lord Salisbury's withdrawal as It
was in the appointment of his suc
cessor. As to Lord Salisbury's withdrawal,
the main reason is considered by prac
tically all the best Informed persons to
have been simply a desire for a quiet
life on the part of a man advanced In
years, whose activities have been un
usual, and whose scientific tastes pre
dispose him to study and seclusion.
That the retiring premier's health has
failed to some extent is undeniable;
but this Is not more than perhaps it
Is to be expected in a man of his years,
and the close ot the war in South Af
rica and the return of the'cplimanding
general there. Is considered to be an
appropriate time for his withdrawal.

Venice, July 15. The bell tower of
historic St. Mark's Cathedral, 3.'2 feet
high, suddenly collapsed yestenlay and
fell into the plaza. The ruins are piled
up to the height of 100 feet, and the
Piazza di San Marco and the adjoining
squares are covered with debris and
dust. Some damage was done to the
Sansovlno Loggetta, or vestibule, on
the east side of the Campanile.

the falling tower struck the Royal Pal

troops was immediately ordered to the

In the eyes of Italy amounts to a ver

Chancellor of Exchequer Leaves Cabi
net With Salisbury.
London, July 15. Sir Michael Hicks
Meat h, chancellor of the exchequer,
has resigned from the British inblnet
as a result of the retirement of Lord
Salisbury as premier and the appoint
ment of A: J. Ilalfour, government
leader in the house of commons, as his
successor. This announcement wa!
mnde yesterday, and caused great sur
prise to those who hnd predicted that
:.u ministerial disturbance would fol
low the change of premiers. Rumors
are now spreading to the effect that
other changes will follow.
The resignation of Sir Michael Hlcks
peaeh was generally taken to be almost
more important than Lord Salisbury's,
niul was regarded in some quarters as
being directly due to the more Im
portant voice which Mr. Chamberlain
will have in the new cabinet.
The position of Joseph Chamberlain,
colonial secretary, is the chief subject
of discussion. Those who seem to
know say that he will retain his port
folio In much the same conditions as
under Salisbury. The basis for this I
belief Is that Balfour consulted Cham
berlain before accepting his new office
It is surmised that some compromise
was effected by which the disappointed
minister lias been conciliated.
The Court Circular announces that
King Edward conferred upon Lord Sal
isbury at last Friday's audience the
Grand Cross of the Victorian Order,
set with brilliants.
General Wheaton Retired.
Washington, July 15. Major General
Moyd Wheaton closed his active mili
tary career yesterday, having reached
the statutory retiring age of 64 vears.
He Is at his home in this country,
where he recently arrived from the
Philippines. The vacancy caused ty

SHOT BY REJECTED SUITOR
Charles McCormick Fired Two Bullets
Into Llllle Lane.
Trenton, N. J., July 14. Charles Mc
Cormick, aged 38 years, is locked up
at police headquarters, charged with
shooting 16-year-old Llllle Lane yester
day afternoon at Yardvlllo, N. J., which
is about six miles south of Trenton.
The girl Is at St. Francis Hospital, with
one bullet in her breast and another in
her left arm. The physicians at the
hospital are hopeful of her recovery.
The shooting was the result of the
girl's refusal to receive continued at
tention from McCormick after her par
ents had learned that he was a married
man. McCormick represented himself
as being divorced. Yesterday afternoon
Miss Lane and a girl friend and the lat
ltr's brother were at Yardvllle waiting
to take a trolley car to Trenton, when
McCormick came up. He asked co talk
to Miss Lane, but she refused to leave
her companions to talk with him. Then
he pulled a revolver from his pocket
and fired three times. McCormick was
overpowered by others who were near
by and subsequently brought to Tren
ton and locked up. He has not made
cny statement It is understood that
he had been drinking.
High Ranking Officers of Both
Branches Will Decide Who Has Been
Victorious Plans Include Attempt
to Shell New York.
.Washington, July 15. Plans are ma
terializing for the naval movements
which will precede the joint army and
naval manoeuvres this autumn. The
arrangements have been placed entire
ly in the hands of Rear Admiral Hlg
glnson, commanding the North Atlan
tic station and he Is expected soon to
settle matters of general detail such as
the limits within which the "enemy's"
ships may attack, the selection of a
commander for the "eneiny's" force
and the selection of the ships which
will compose the attacking squadron.
An Ititeresiing part of the work in
both sets of manoeuvres will be that
assigned to the "umpires." Officers will
be assigned to each of the ships in the
naval manoeuvres, and to both ships
and fortifications in the joint exercises,
to act as Judges, and It is understood
that the final decision in the greater
manoeuvres as to whether the army
or the navy has been victorious will be
rendered by a board of high ranking
officers from both branches of the ser
vice, probably headed by Admiral
Dewey. The task of the Individual
Judges will not be an easy one, for the
entire scheme of the exercises is to be
based on probability. For Instance, a
battleship steams up past one of the
Slatcn Island forts in the dead of
night. A searchlight flashes out into
the blackness from the fort, finds her.
and the gunners ashore train their big
weapons to blow her out of the water.
Did the searchlight find her in time to
have prevented deadly work if it had
been re"al war? Were the guns of the
fort trainetl on her with the requisite
precision, or can she be considered as
having run the gauntlet and as Hying
up the bay to shell the metropolis?
This Is but n sample of what may be
expected in the way of situations open
to vigorous dispute from both sides.
As soon as General hacArthur takes
hold at New York, It Is expected that
he will co-operate with Rear Admiral
Hlgginson in drawing up a complete
and definite plan for the game of war
between the army and navy, which be
gins the latter part of August.
PLAN TO END MINERS' STRIKE
Rev. Curran Will Lay Proposition Be
fere Railroad Presidents.
Wllkeslnrre, Pa., July 15. Rev. J. J.
Curran, of this city, who claims to
have a plan by which the mlnva'
strike can be settled, left town vetaer
day afternoon. It is said hl des'ina
tlon was Philadelphia. Rumor has it
that he will first beek an Interview
With President Bear and then go on to
New York to see the presidents of the
Lackawanna, Delaware and Hudson
and Erie companies. The local oper
ators Fay that no plan Rev. Curran can
propose at this late day will be enter
tained by the operators, and that If ho
went to Philadelphia and New Y'ork In
the liopo that he can interest the piesi
dents of the big coal companies his
mission will be a fruitless one.
Conference With Baer.
Philadelphia. July 13. President
Baer, of the Philadelphia and Reading
Railway Company, and Rev. Father
Curran, of Wilkcsbarre, had a long
conference yestenlay in President
Baer's office at the Rending Terminal
In reference to the an.. .radio oul
minors' strike. The cl ..ytiian from
Wllk"sl.arre tried to havi the Reading
Coal and Iron Company take the ini
tiative and bring about a settlement of
the strike. Most of the time of the
conference was occupied by the priest
In telling Mr. Baer the condition of
affairs in the coal region, and it is
said that Mr. Baer declined to take
any step in effoctingascttleinent of the
trouble except what the miners al
ready know about.

with knives yesterday afternoon, Mar
tin Schrelber, aged 22 years, was
killed almost instantly by his antag
onist, Edward Duffy, 19 years of age.
