L. M. Jones, charge of the rescue party sent from Pittsburgh to the Jamison No. 7 mine at Fairmont, W. Va. which was wrecked by an explosion, gave up his life in the performance of his duty. Five other experts from the bureau of mines were overcome along with Jones, but were rescued and revived. Mr. Jones’ body was recovered, The known dead, only a few of whose bodies have been recovered, are: L. M. Jones, aged thirty-three: Mathew Allison, machinist, body re- covered; Babe Higginbotham, machin. ist, thirty-eight; Harry Brennen, thirty-five, machinist; D. L. Chatman, thirty, machinist; Isiah Leasure, John Foster, colored; J. Fagan, thirty; A. W. Vance, body recovered; Squire Vincent and James Minero. Those who were overcome in the bureau of mines party. in addition to Mr. Jones are: L. W. Cooper, chief engineer Jamison mine; J. W. Koster, i junior mining engineer; R. H. Seip, ' first aid miner; G. S. McCas, first aid miner; J. V. Berry, first aid miner; A. J. Strane, assistant explosive engineer. It is said Mr. Jones penetrated the mine into one of the most gaseous sections and that he was overcome when, his supply of oxygen became exhausted. He was far in advance of ! the other members of the party. They waited and their oxygen supply ran low. When the men did not return another rescue party was sent into the mine. They found the Jones party overcome, The rescue work is proceeding verv slowly, owing to the mass of debris choking the passage ways. : Liou ERS OVERCOME mining engineer in DAUGHTER OF CZAR IS NURSE ON EAST FRONT Photo by American Press Association.

Graues Except Ragland Have ' 10-Cent Advance. Pennsylvinia crude oil has ad- vanced fror: 32.50 a barred to $2.60— - tHe price which it attained just before it began to decline several months ago. All Pennsylvania grades are incu.ca in the 10-cent raise except Ragland. The new price is 30 cents higher than the lowest price of the year, an? will undoubtedly affect the price of gasoline. The reason for the jump is laid at the door of the automobhilists, whose increased demand for gasoline has created more demand for the oil than can be supplied.

Now the most modern Una- bridged—the NEW INTERNATIONAL— gives me a pleasure of the same sort. So far as my knowledge extends, it is at present the best of the one-volume * dictionaries, and quite sufficient for all ordinary uses.

KEYSTONE PARAGRAPHS His Jeffersonian democracy prompt- ed Frank McCreighton, aged sixty-two, of Sharpsburg, to go to Pittsburgh Friday for the first time in twenty- eight years. He could not think of permitting the pr “lent to pass through Pittsburgh without seeing him. Pittsburgh had so changed since McCreighton’s last trip that he became lost in the maze of towering buildings in Smithfield street. Her anxiety to see the man she was engaged to marry was the cause of Mrs. Flora Hallen dashing out of a Pittsburgh store, Oct. 7, wearing a suit she had not paid for, according to Albert I. Hallen, who is now the hus- band of the woman. She entered a plea of guilty to a charge of larceny before Judge Marshall Brown in criminal court and was paroled for one year. The mystery surrounding the disap- pearance of Thomas Kloos, aged fifty-three, of Sharon, was solved when his body was discovered hang- ing from a limb of a tree near Wheat- land. Kloos had been worried for some time because two of hig sous were fighting with the German army. He left home two weeks ago. The coroner rendered a verdict of suicide. One officer was shot through the heart and instantly killed and another is in a hospital with a bullet wound in his leg as the result of the officers’ attempt to arrest two negroes for train riding at West Fairview, near Harrisburg. The dead man is J. L. Beisser of Lemoyne, and the injured man is Harry Chubb of Harrisburg. The negroes were later arrested. Figures compiled by the state de- partment of labor and industry show that during September 245 persons were killed and 21,949 hurt in the in- dustries of Pennsylvania. Reports t made to the department show that { during the first nine months of the : year 1,827 persons were Killed and i 188,278 injur.d in the industries." ! — . t Like Joseph’s coat of many colors is the coat oy paint J.
