FIRE BOSS FRANK M'CORMICK WAS INSTANTLY KILLED. OTHERS WILL LIKELY DIE s The Injured Men Number About Fifteen, But Most of Them Slightly Burned. THE CAUSE IS NOT KNOWN A Stable and Part of the Gangway Caught Fire, But the Flames Were Speedily Extinguished Many Men Had Very Narrow Es capes from Death. Poor ill-fated Gilberton I One year ago last Tuesday her streets were filled with the cries of the men wounded in the riot and the shrieks of anguish of their friends and relatives. To-day the streets are filled with cries of horror and sore distress of a more heart rending character, death having laid its hand upon the place In a much more se vere form. This time death visits the place in the form of a mine explosion. The explosion took place in the Gilber ton colliery. A noon report stated that twenty-five men had been removed from the mine and eighteen of them were dead. A later report from a reporter sent to the scene by the Herald showed that the early reports were very much exagger ated, yet the explosion was n bad one. Hpeclal to Evening Herald. Gilberton, Aug. 21, 3 p. m. The explo sion at the Gilberton colliery took place at 11.30 this morning. The list of victims is as follows : KILLED. Frank McCormick, aged 35 years; resid ing at Turkey Hun, Are boss at the col liery. INJURED. William Davis, Gilberton, driver; head cut and burned. JAMES Toomet, Gilberton; head and back burned. Louis Ball, Shenandoah, 18 years of age, drlverjlprobably fatally Injured,, William Sciiultz, Shenandoah; arms burned. ItoiiEllT SnERMAN, Wm. Penn; burned about head and face. John Kester, Shenandoah; faco and hands burned. Hariit Buchanan; burned about face, hands and back. Georqe E. Davis, Turkey Run; face and hands burned. Con. LEAHY, Inside foreman of tho col- ltery; very badly burned and will prob ably die. Some of the victims were taken to their homes and some to the Miners' Hospital at Fountain Springs. There were several men slightly burned. The explosion took place just as the breaker whistle blew for the dinner re cess. There were about seventy five men In the mine at the time. About ten in addi tion to those enumerated above suffered from burns of a more or less severe char acter. All the rest escaped from the mine safe and uninjured. None were overcome by gas. Tho explosion occurred in the third lift of the Buck Mountain vein. The exact cause ot the explosion has not been ascertained. It is supposed that a rush of coal in a breast oansed the goa to fill tho gangway and that it was ignited by the lamp of one of the repalremeu. This theory, however, is not Indorsed by the mine oflloials; but they have not intimated what they believe caused the explosion. Immediately after the explosion oc curred the stable and the part of the gangway in its vicinity took fire, but the flames wore extinguished before they made much progress or much damage was done. i The promptness with which tho officials of the cdlllery acted in this connection r was commendable. The fire company hastened to the col liery as soon as the report of the explos ion spread, but its services were not re quired. WHITEHOUSE ARRESTED. The Missing Mine Foreman Caught Last Night In New Jersey. A report reached town to day that Joseph Whltchouse, the assistant out side forman at Shenandoah City colliery who left town suddenly on Monday night under a cloud of suspicion, was arrested at the home of his wife's parents In New Jersey last night. While tho report does not come from un ofliftinl Bource It seems to be woll founded. There may be some delay In getting Whltehouse back to Pottsvllle, should he object to being taken out of New Jersey. The case has occasioned widespread interest, which Is Increased by the report that the P. & It, Company has instituted an invcstlcatlon which may bring out some startling facts. It is said that in formation of a very important character has been furnished the company and should the case be pushed to trial the developments will cause a stir. The missing man's wife still protests that she does not know where her hus band Is. or why ho went away and she evidently does not intend to keep the house waiting for his return, as she hos commenced n sale of her household goods. This baste has led to Increased suspicion on the part of the authorities. Friends of the missing man say that he was foolish to run away. If the charges which the Informers have made against him are false he should hnve stood his ground. One thing which puzzles many is how Whltehouse learned that the P. & R, company was after him and managed to get out of town the night before Capt. Christian arrived.

The Home Team Puts In Good Work at Critical Points and Win an Eleven Inning Game. The Shenandoahs nulled themnnlvp to gether ogaln yesterday .ftnd for the first time since it has met the Phlladelphlas In the State league games made them ploy ball for all they were worth. From tho seventh inning it was anybody's game, although the Shenandoahs had several opportunities to put a good lead between themselves nnd the Quakers. Thoy hit Ely's delivery in a most lively fashion and the fielding of the Philadelphia was not as good ns In the previous games. Yerkes' pitching was quite effective up to the fifth inning, the visitors having but two hits, but in that inning he weakened considerably and on four good hits the Phlladelphlas made three runs. In tho sixth and seventh Innings Yerkes was mlltl, but he did not let the Phillies have a hit, six. being tho total made off his delivery. Dunkle went in the box in tho eighth inning and pitched the balance of the game, the visitors making three singles In the eighth and n two-bagger in the eleventh. In the fourth inning the Phillies had a Btreak of luck, but a double play by Gill spoiled it. Chllils not his base on Ross' error and after H. Ely went out on a fly to Gill got to second just ahead of Gill's throw from deep right field. Clark knocked n nice fly out to centre field and Ashenbach dropped, Child's scoring. J. Ely then got his babe on blls. O'Brien was the next man to the bat and Hew out to Gill, who threw the ball to Myers and put J. Ely out before he could get back to first. This was the only exciting play until the ninth inning, when the Phillies were at the bat and came within an nee of bcoring the winning run. Mnssey had gone out on Ross' throw to Meyers nnd aliahan got his base on balls. Childs then sent a hard, low hall to third. Musser recovered after a supreme effort and threw the runner out at first. Meyers at once threw the ball to Musser In order to cut off Callahan, who was making for third base like a deer. The throw was a strong one and ns the ball bounced from Musser's hands It rolled just outside the line towards the home plate. Muster nnd Ross sprang after the ball like two cats after a mouse, Callahan meauwhile sprinting for home as if his life depended upon his arrival there; but Ross re covered the ball and got it to Messitt when the runner was about two feet from the plate. The spectators cheered lustily. The tenth inning opened with Musser at the bat. Ho Hew out to Stnltz, the catch being ono approaching the phenom enal. Yerkes struck out. It looked as if the goose was cooked when Ashenbach got tofirston a hit and was advanced to third on Myers' hit. The latter then stole to second nnd the basei-. ie filled by Gill getting his base on bnl.-, after Clark bad muffed an easy foul fly ; Weikert went to tho plate determined to knock the cover off the ball. He succeeded in getting his eye on it nnd gave it a terrific whack. Tho spectators yelled with delight, but as the ball seemed to be sailing safely about five feet seven inches over the second base O'Brien made a long side spring and pulled it down, retiring the side. "Hit everything" was the instruction the Phillies received from their manager, and thev tried hard to do It, but Weikert was in tho game and he stopped two hot drives in excellent style, throwing 11. Ely and Clark out at first. J. Ely then struck out. The eleventh inning was opened by Mnsser getting to first on H. Ely's muff ot a fir. O'Hara was retired on O'Hrli-n'M throw to first and Rosa brought Muser nome on a gooa un, tne spectators cheer ing wildly. Messitt made a hit, but was thrown out at second aud the sldo was re tired on Dunkles' fly to Clark, tho score standing 8 to 7 In favor of Shenandoah. O'Brien was the first of the IliUH,. tn go to tho bat to try nnd tie tho score, or io ueat it, out. no weui out on a Uy to Ashenbach. Staltz kent un his bnttini? record by making a two-bagger nnd got to third while Myers was beating West lake to first. Massey was the man to do tne work, nut his batting powers were not at command nnd Ross ended the game by throwing the big first baseman out nt first. Score : SHENANDOAH. R. lit. TO. A. E.

Mahanoy City plays hero on Sunday. O'Hara claims ho was sick during Wed nesday's game. The change in tho positions of Musser nnd Ross yesterday had n good effect. The Phlladelphlas started for Lancaster immediately after tho close of the gamo yesterday. Hazletou now has McCooch, but Mann ger IUnlnn says ho will give him up if Shenandoah can prove a claim.

Pottsvllle will play here on Tuesday, next, and tho Harrisburgs will piny their first league games here on S ednet-day and Thursday. Shenandoah claims to have n mortgage on McCooch and Mnnnger Brenmtu says ho must ploy hero for the balance of tho season. Jim Smith laid the matter be fore the directors of thoState league yes terday. A gentleman of town who takes great interest in base ball says that if Dunkle. had a manager llko Irwin, or some Olio else of that character, behind him for tho coming winter, tho pitcher would bloom next spring as a second Stivctts. The managers of the Shenandoah basa ball club deny the accusations of ex L mnlre Dalton. They eay that, contrary to Dnlton's statement, they told him when tho Phillies first came here that as Bradley was a great favorite with Shen nndonh audiences to give him the benefit of nny reasonable doubts on plays. As to tho fees for umpiring tho mnnagers Bay that Holland, tho leuguo umpire, asked to be nllowt.l to go home, as his wife was sick and Dalton would umpire the game for him pn Suudny. Holland was given five dol lars nnd the management nnderstood Dalton would umpire the game for the balance N.75, which Holland would have received had he remained here, but after the gome Dalton Insisted upon be ing paid ." nnd the umpiring of that game cost tho management $10 instead of 18.75. It was decided then that Dalton would not be allowed to umpire a game for the club again. The management also claims to have kept Dalton In em ployment ns n special officer when thero wns not an opening for him as umpire. STIVE-ITS' FATHER KILLED.
