A SERIES OF
ACCIDENTS.
Occurred in Boston Run, Gilberton
and Packer No. 4 Collieries.
ONE OF THEM WAS FATAL.
Two Victims Cr'ishcd by Cars and One
Wed Last jipit The Others Struck
Usnliiliif,' and Burned.
There were two accidents at Boston
Hun yesterdny, one of wuloh proved fatal
and the other will probably result so, one
serious accident caused by lightning at
tne uuoerton conwy, mid one at 1'acKer
.o. 4 coniery, in winch two men were
seriously burned by au explosion of mine
gas.
The victim who died was Hlchnrd
Cower, a Welshman 48 years of age, un-
mnrried, and residing at Aiananoy t ity.
He lived for several hours after the acci
dent occurred.
Gower went to Boston Run colllerv ves-
terday to seek work and In dodging out
of the way of one mine car wns knocked
down nun run over by nnotucr, receiving
a crush about the shoulders and chest.
Tlie injured man wns removed to tlie
liouso of John Yates, at Mnhanoy City,
where he boarded, nnddi d there nt (i;30
o'clock last night. He was a member of
the Welsh Ivorites.
I rederick I' rey, a boy fourteen years of
age, was probably fatally Injured at
the Jioston mm col lery yesterday nf rcr
noon. While attempting to coUDle mine
cars he was caught between them and his
body wns badly squeezed. The boy was
removed to his home at Boston Run. At
last accounts he was In a critical con
dition. The third victim in the Mnhanoy valley
slcrday was Frank Dance, a Polish resi
dent of this town. He wns employed nt
I lie dirt, bank of tlie Gilberton colliery
and during the thunder storm yesterday
wasstrucK oy lightning, The uoltstrucK

dead, but he soon recovered consciousness
and was removed to the Miners' Hospi
tal at Fountain Springs. Tho officials of
the hospital say lie will recover.
Dance had a watch iu his pocket before
he was strilck, but when he wns picked
up the timepiece wns missing, it wns at
lirst thought tho watch had been melted
by the bolt, bat as no trace of the metal
could be found it was concluded that
when the bolt knocked the man over his
watch went into the sulphur creek nt the
bank.
There was an exnlosion of mino gas at
Packer No. 4 colliery nt nbnut four o'clock
yesterday afternoon by which two men

but subsequent Information shows that
the burns were slight and were confined
to the hands and face. There was a rnsli
of a pillar and the manway below the
place where the men were working was
closed. In making their way out the men
accidentally broke a safety lamp and the
gas was ignited.

Couple Last Night.
All the world hns henrd of "A Bull In a
China shop," but this place Is the first to
hear of n horse nrnnclng Into a nalnt

siderable excitement.
Thomas Gradwell. of West Llovd street.
accompanied by Miss Kate Bainbridge,
was driving west on Centre street from
Main nt about 10 o'clock last night when
the horse trinned nnd fell forward. The
animal immediately arose and dashed
down the street at a breakneck p.ice. Mr.
ijrnnweii tried nis uest to cuecK tne mil
mal. but wns unable to doso. The thrilling
dash ended on Centre street, between West

THE WATER WORKS.
There Should be no More Delay In Their
Construction.
The HEnALD's announcement of the
deal made by tho Shennndoah Water &
Gns Company with the Philadelphia &
Reading Coal & Iron Company hns caused
the citizens to put on their thinking caps
nnd nothing but a vigorous pushing of
tho public water works plant to comple
tion will be tolerated hereafter.
Since the publication referred to there
has been a continued dismission of the
sltuntlon tlie new works nre now in and
what Is to be done to complete them. One
of the most important questions arising
is whether or not tlie works can be com
pleted without holding another special
election. If they can, so much the better,
for then Council will have a road for
clear sailing and lie able to reipnnd to the
demand for prompt and decisive work.
There are mniiv who are influenced by
the remarks of the late Judge Green,
when he said that If the Shenandoah
Councilmen expended more than the
amount nllotcd to them by the special
election they would be liable to Imprison
men'. If It Is necessary that another special
election be held, then It Is the duty of the
Councllineo to begin to get rendy for It,
as past experience hns shown that such
matters cannot be nrranged by work of a
few hours.
Delays will be exceedingly dangerous
hereafter, for when the P. & R. collieries
begin to draw upon the reservoirs it will
be found necessary to curtail the town's
supply of water more frequently thnn
some people imagine.
'Iherelsan Inclination on the part of
certain people to treat the deal llgbtly.
Their argument Is that should the col
lieries draw heavily enough upon tho
reservoirs to render the town supply In
sufficient there will be blood on tlie moon
and somebody will squeal. This kind of
talk oes well enough for one to vent his
bravado, but it Is superficial. After tbe
collieries are connected with the reser
voirs they will become dependent upon
them to a more or less extent and if the
people kick they will ilnd themselves be
tween two fires scarcity of water, or no
work nt the collieries. Verllv tho in
jection of P. & R. blood has wrought
many possibilities.
Take It In whntevcr light you will, turn
It over, distort It, If you please, and you
still llnd the snme injunction emblazoned
on (he water works nuestlon hnrrv nu.
or you will get left. It must be business
nereaiter mm no squabbling or dickering.
Tho people of to-day are not as confiding
ns they were two years ago. There have
been too mnny broken promises. Tho
sentiment for more speedy progres on the
works is not a new one. It has smouldered
for months and tho announcement of the
deal has ouly fanned it. Tlie people wnnt
to know It the Borough Council has a
right to. proceed with tho works without
nnother special election. In such an
event they ate ready to go to the polls and
grant an increase by an overwhelming
majority, for they have verv wisels con
cluded (as the Hkrai I) predicted two
years ago they would) that they cannot
afford to lrwe what, has already been ln-
vesieu, so u a special election w necessary
the Council need not be timid about it.
The people are with it on that point at
least.
Anil if Council must go bo'ore the neo-
plo and nsk for an Increase letlt do so in
a Duslness-llke way, without modesty,
but with good judgment. If sixtv thou
sand dollars additional will complete tho
nmiu ill iuu t. uuituii diup aii tuai ngure,
mt if seventy-five thousand will bo re
quired let tbe body say so and end the
matter lor an time.
A gentleman, who Is nrettv well posted
on what has been done on the woiks, and
what must be done, was figuring on the
cost to date nnd says that with the bill
presented ny tne contractors at the last
meetlngof Council and the estimated nrici?
of the additional pipe required the cost
will reach tuu.uuu.
From these remarkslt may be presumed
that Council does not deem a special elec
tion necessary, but if such is the ense the
Councilmen should say so. The people
should not be kept in the dark in such an
important matter. Indeed, there hns been
too much secrecy about the nflalr from
the start and it is sate to say that not one
twentieth ot tho people hnve the slightest
idea of what tho works have cost to date.
It is true Mr. Womelsdorf. the supervis
ing engineer, has produced an estimnto
showing that the cost of tho works has
been a few hundred dollars over fM.OOO
up to date, but thnt estimnto does not
show how many thousands above tho
original estimnto has been expended for
extras and alterations or iiow many
thousands will be required to llnlsh the
work.
ihe duty of Council is plain. Let it
find O'lt where it stands, how much money
has been expended under the special elec
tion Increase of debt, how much money
will be required to finish the plant, and.
If another special election Is necessary,
ask for it and give the peonle w lint was
soconfiilently nnd enthusiastically prom
ised tnein i wo years ago.
