Mahanoy Plash, May 15. An explosion
of gas took place In West Bear Ridge
colliery yesterday afternoon by which
John ilottenstein, a miner .13 years of age
and nsldlngat Ashland, was Instantly
killed and four men were injured.
The injured are :
Robert Dalton, miner, Mahanoy Plane,
burned about the face and hnnds.

burned and bruised about the head and
body. Had cash across the forehead
Edward Ryan, loader. Lost Creek.
burned about the face and hands, but not
seriously.
W imam -Minimie, miner, Ashland, ser
iously burned.
The remains of Ilottenstein were re
moved to his home In Ashland. An
lnnuest will be held this evening,
The injured men, with the exception of
Edward Hyan, were removed to the
Miners' Hospital at Fountain Spring.
Hran was uble to walk to his home.
The report that the explosion was caused
bv a naked lam D is denied bv Inside Fore
man Kline and his assistant, James
Mahony. The place is known to be
loaded with gas and for this reason no
linked lamps are allowed wltliln oreast 17,
where the safety burners are unlocked.
The gas Is believed to have been limited
through the safety lamp carried by
Robert Dalton, which It is thought ex
ploded, although no trace of the lamp has
since been found. 'The concussion, though
heavy, did no damage to the mines.
The scene of the explosion was In breast
number 27, of the south dip, west gang
way, at U:VJ.
'PI.
The oresence of gas was first noticed bv
AVIllInm Mimmie, who called to Dalton,
working in the slant above, to savo him
self. Dalton was In the act of plckinir tin
his lamp when apprised that It was too
late by a llasli of brilliant light followed
bv n terrible nnd irresiatabio movement
of air that dashed htm to earth ns though
ne were a leatner.
The foreman and assistants were np
Drlsed of the exDlosIon bv the unusual
rush of air through the workings and a
moment later were upon the scene. They
found Edward ltyan, a loader, picking
himself out of the ditch where he hnd
been tumbled by the explosion while
climbing upon tho wagon. Near by him
lay ins partner isucnaei ityan, unconsci
ous and bleeding quite lrcely from
cuts upon the face. Hyan stood in the
mnnway, starting the coal when dashed
out and against tht wagon, to the ditch.
lie revived soon after.
William Mlramio and Hobert Dalton
were met making their way down the
breast, croanlnir with nain. The search
ing party groped its way through the
dust laden atmosphere toward the place
where Ilottenstein was known to have
worked. A call elicited no response. Up
the steep pitch they climbed, fearful for
their fellow workman's fate. His posi
tion wns known to have been one of par
ticular danger.
Forty feet from the face of tho breast
they found Hottensteln's body lodged
agninst a prop, his skull 'aid open and his
brains oozing from tho terrible wound.
Ilottenstein was dead an 1 had probably
been so for Beveral minnt-s. He Is sup
posed to have been workliti at the face,
from where he was doubtless hurlod
through snace with terrillc force and hi

THE GLIOK SUIOIDE.
A Jury Falls to Fix Upon a Came for the
Act
Special to EVEH1NO HlllALD.
GlltAliDVlLLE, May 15. -An Inqnlry by a
deputy coroner nnd a jury of six citizens
decided last night that ex-Postmaster
Joseph M. Glick of this place met bis
death by n pistol shot wound indicted by
his own hand but failed to determine n
cause for the deed.
The inquest was not au extended ono
and but lew w!tno-,ses examined, they
being Jacob I'ortz, the man who found
the body in the stable, the physician who
mnde an examination of the body, and
one or two members of the family, who
were exnmlued withn view to learning
the recent tempernieut and conduct of
the deceased. Little satisfaction was
gleaned from this source and when the
time came tor the jury to make up its
verdict It could only suy that the de
ceased "came to his death by his own
hand for some reason unknown to the
jury."
A member of his family stated after
the Inquest that Mr. Glick was very reti
cent concerning his affairs. He seldom
spoke of bis business relations In the
homo circle and never complained when
111 j but for several days before the suicide
it was suspected he was not feeling well
and that the recent husiuess complica
tions which brought on the suit in con
nection with the Palace Theatre Com
pany seemed to worry him. This was the
only cause the family could think of for
the act, and yet the opinion '.-ns not based
upon any complaint the deceased had
made.
The funeral of Mr. Glick will take
place at one o'clock on Thursday and In
terment wilt be made in the Odd Fellows'
cemetery nt Girardville.

Hpcclal to the Heiiald.
Mahanoy City, May 15. Two young
men giving their names as Henry Folk
and William Morris, and their homes as
Easton, Pa., were arrested by Detective
Leltcnbergcr, in Nicholas Grlra's hotel, at
seven o'clock this morning, on suspicion
of being Homer Sarvls and John O'Neill,
wanted for the murder of Frank Hender
son, in-Newburg, N. Y., on .May 2, and for
burglarizing his store.
Tho suspects are two well built young
fellows of 24 years and claim to bo here
in search of employment. The olllcer
spotted them soon after they landed in
town last night and kept close tab on
their movements ever since.
They fit tho description of tho murderers
In many respects but differed In others.
The ollfcer's suspicions of their indentity
was strengthened this morning when in
formed by hotel-keeper Grim that they
had hld a mullled conversation in their
room all night, seemed uneasy and were
making preparations for nn early depar
ture from town this morning.
The description of O'Neill called for a
swaggering manner and tho way Folk
rolled Into Harris' hotel and asked for
refreshments, last evening, set the detec
tive's hair on end. "Say partner, got any
thing to ent here t" "Yes, sir," meekly
responded Abe Wire. "Well give us n
beer-r and sandwich, right quick," and
the bartender complied with alacrity.
The young men did not seem to bo of
the "dead tough" order, either, and were
quite docile and gentlemanly ns they
greeted the olllcers through the Iron bars
this morning. They will remain in the
lockup until the Newburg authorities
are heard from.

It Squashes the Picnic Ar

A COMMITTEE LECTURES
Hie Junior Claas Ilulil a Meeting- and
Decides by n Vote to Abide by the Wither)
of the llunrri, Hut n I'lrnlc Will lis Held
Wltliuut tho "AuHplcc."
A bomb was thrown in the High School
room mis morning in tue nature of a
sovere lecture and a determined protest
against the picuic which the junior class
had advertised for Decoration Day. The
action was the result of a meeting of the
School Hoard last evening.
At the meeting of the Hoard one of the
directors made complaint that the
scholars attending the High School wero
deserving of censure fur the boisterous
manner In which they behave tbemsolves
between school hours. This led to re
mnrks by other directors. In which thev.
too, claimed to have observed conduct on
the part of scholars of the school which
deserve the attention of the School Hoard,
and special stress was put upon the
chnrge that scholars are allowed to walk
tue streets at hours of the night which
are not in keeping with a course of good
discipline nnd moral training.
Finally the ulcnio advertised bv the
junior class was drawn into the discus
sion, luu result was tuut a committee
was instructed to go to the class room to
day wnu superintendent whltnker nnd
express the wishes of the Hoard to the
scholars.
la accordance with the Instruction,
School Directors It. A. Davenport and
Timothy Lynch, accompanied by Super
intendent Whitaker, called at the junior
class room thismorningnndndministered
lectures to tue scholars.
Among other things, the committee
stnted that tho bchool Hoard protested
against the class holding n nlculc which
purported to have the sanction of the
school authorities aud that the picnic
advertised to be held under the auspices
of tho Junior High school class of Shen
andoah should he abandoned. In connec
tion with this it was also stated that the
complaints to the Hoard against scholars
of the High school had become so numer
ous the Hoard had decided to resort to
stringent measures to enforce ncomplt
nnce with every order and rule.
Tile junior class nail a meeting after
tne lecture nnu tooK a vote, butiorintend.
ent Whltnker was subseriuentlv notified
mat tne class nnu decided to comply with
the wishes of the School Hoard.
One of tho School Directors said to-day
"We regretted to spoil the nrranuemeuts
of these young people, but wo must huve
discipline nnu nave tne rules obeyed, in
the tirst nlnce this class snoko to the nrin
cipal and teachers about holding the picnic
anu wero tout it would not he sanctioned,
but In suite of this the arriinaements
weremadeand tho affair was given pres
tige by being advertised as an affair uudef
the auspices of the Iunior class of the
High School, which was very improper
in tue race oi tue reiusui oi nu teachers to
countenance it. Another thing, these out
of-towu picnics are not looked upon with
favor by the school authorities. Experi
ence oi tue past has leu to the conclusion
that tuey nre not conducive to moral ad
vantage. Some parents have been under
the impression that the school teachers
huvo accompanied the scholars on such
occasions, hut has rarely been the ense
and with unrestricted liberty some of the
scholars have not behaved themselves
with the propriety expected of them, so
we concluded to shut down altogether on
the picnics."
It wns stated this afternoon that the
scholars, although submitting to tho
wishes of the School Hoard, will hold the
picnic, the understanding being that it
shall not be held out in any way as being
countenanced by the school authorities.
