EXPLOSION.1;
Bear
Ridge Colliery, at Mahanoy
Plane, the Scene.
SIX MEN RESCUED ALIVE.
FOUR OF THEM SO BADLY BURNED
THEY MAY DIE.
ONE OF THE DEAD BODIES FOUND
Four Men Are Still In the Mine and
Fire Is Raging There The
Names of the Victims.
Special to Evening Herald.
Maiiakot Plane, Feb. 18. A frightful
explosion of gas occurred in the Bear
Ridge mine, operated bj the Philadelphia
& Reading Coal & Iron Company at this
place, this morning, at about ten o'clock.
When the explosion occurred twelve
men were in the ill-fated mine, but seven
have since been removed. They are
erribly burned, and four of them are not
expected toillve.
It Is not known exactly where the other
five unfortunate men are and their names
cannot be given now. Every conceivable
means to reach them has been resorted to,
bat each attempt has been baflled by the
fire which the explosion started. This
fire is being fought with all the modern
means which the mine experts who have
been brought upon the scene can com
mand, but very little progress lias been
made.
Notwithstanding this condition of
affairs the tibials express faith in their
ability to rescue the men alive. Up to
three o'clock this afternoon no additional
rescues had been made and the relatives
and friends of the imprisoned men are
last losing an hope. The men wuo are
fighting the fire have apparently made
little progress.
The six men taken from the mine were :
William Minnick, Ashland, married.
Thomas Davis, Girardville, married.
Anthony Meveks, Girardville, married,
Edward Davis, Girardville, mnrrled.
Miciiakl Lamest, Girardville.
William Miller, Mahanoy Plane, mar
ried.
John Davis, Mahanoy Plane, single.
John Kline, the inside foreman, has n
large force of men at work exerting every
effort to so control the fire as to enable a
gang of men to try and rescue the im
prisoned miners.
General Manager R. C. Luther has sum
moned mine Inspectors and experts from
all parts of the region to the scene.
The cause of the fire is not known. It
started in a "monkey" and is supposed
thai the gas was ignited by a lamp of one
of the victims.
A Body Recovered.
Special to EVENING) Uekaj.d.
Mahanov Plane, Feb. 18th, 4 p. m.
The dead body of Bernard Redding has
just been taken from the Bear Ridge

an hour,

wife, three daughters and two sons, and
was a resident of this place. He was
terribly burned about the face and head

A Circular Denounced.
Ed. Herald : .Some disgruntled mug.
wuuids in the Third ward are out In u
olrcnlar appealing to the citizens, Irre-
pective of party, to vote for Henry
Hoebler for Council aud thereby turn
down David R. James, the regular Cm-
zkns nominee. "Citizens and Taxpayers"
confess that the indebtedness of the
town lias been increaned enormously dur
ing the past few years by the very parties
they would retain in power, and reason
that, therefore, they are the ouly people
who ean bring the largest revenue to tb
borough out of their transactions Tli
people of the Third ward think otherwise.
They looked overthu field fora man whom
they could place on the Citizens ticket
without insulting the non-partisan
voters of the ward. Was It not Btrange
that if Henry Hoehler was so accept
able to the people that he was not nomi
nated at the Citizens' primaries t If,
later on, they believed him so
non-partisan, why was he not run In
dependently Instead of being paraded be
fore the people of Shenandoah with the
collar of the Democracy about his neck f
He could not possibly have secured the
nomination In the Democratic convention,
but tho bosses secured permission from
the convention to place in nomination a
good Democrat if they found one, and
they claim to have found one in Henry
Hoehler. When the honest Democratic
voters go to the polls on Tues
day and look down the Demo
cratic column and see the name of
Henry Hoehler, watch how quickly they
will resent the insult attempted to be
perpetrated upon them, by voting the
Citizens ticket traight. Mark what the
circular says : "We know Henry Hoehler
to possess all the qualifications needed at
this time." Ouly "at this timet" Not
at any other time. According to the
circular, Hoehler is not fit for Council at
all times, but just now, when the thugs
and political assassins of the people's
rights are in their death throe? and desire
to escape political oblivion. They shout
out "Any por' iu a storm," and you can
depend upon It that anyone went
lug the politico.! collar of these
people can wltn salety ue turned down.
The people are tired and want new blood,
and young progressive blood, in their
Council, It was for this reason they
nominated David It. James. Mr. Lamb
was unfortunate In having for his close
menus the very people who now seek to
havt Hc;hlcr elected. It was a defeat for
the thugs, not for Mr. Lamb, and that
gpntleman can retain the good will and
respect of hi? townsmen by now cutting
loose from tho political dead beats whose
friendship cost him the nomination, and
turning his energies towards the election
of the Citizens ticket as a whole. W
appt-al to the citizens of the Third ward
to support David R. James for Council
He will be the representative of the
whole people, not of the ward heelers
or bosses, and, besides, he possesses the
qualifications at all times to represent
the people intelligently, honestly and
faithfully, regardless of party, creed or
nationality; caring for nothing but that
which will be for the best Interests of the
people of Shenandoah as a whole. Vote
for David R. James for Council, and our
word for it our town will be benefited by
his election. Many Citizens.

SUPPORT THE

The Citizens
Party Has
an Excellent
Chance.
If the Citizens p.irty adherents go to
the polls to-morrow and vote for their
ticket, straight, the returns to-morrow
night will hhow a glorioua victory lor
them. Nothing Is required but the full
vote of tbe party iu ail wards.
Reports from the Fifth ward to-day are
of the moat encouraging character. If all
the voters of thu Citizens party siand by
their colors here, nothing can take victory
from them.
A Citizens party victory in the First
ward would be seven-days wouder. Many
people scout the idea ihat such
within the circle of barest possibilities.
yet several men who have been euued
in active political work there during ttu
past week say that the chances tor a
Democratic overthrow are so good tb.i
some are counting upon such a resuU.
The Third ward seems to b .in
of the hottest battle grounds, am'
it Is here where the intelligent citi
zens should assert themselves to
morrow and throw down the men wh
are stabbing the regular Citizens nominee
for Council in the back. An eleventh
hour circular signed "Citizens and Tax
payers" has beeu issued in behalf of the
Democratic nominee, Henry Hoehler. It
is one of the best arguments that coald
be made in favor of the election of David
R, James, the Cltizeus candidate.
"We don't want men iu Coun
cil who are bound to party and
factious, '' the circular says. The fact
is that this mau Hoehler has never been
In politics before. That is most cheerfully
conceded. At the same time it is like
wise a. fact that he would not be a candi
date to-day if he were not pushed forward
as a tool. The direct power behind this
throne comes frpm a relative of
the candidate, who is and always
has been a leading spirit iu the gas,
electric light and other corporations of
the borough, and who sees, if lie can make
the Borough Council, a chance at no dis
tant date to become the superintendent,
or some other leading xpirit of the public
water works. This man was making a
personal canvass for Mr. Hoehler iu the
Third ward tq day, altuqugh he.said not
long ago In answer to a communication
published in the Herald that he had no
interest in Hoehler's candidacy or elec
tion. Beware of the loud-mouthed advo
cates of the people's interests. "We don't
waut men In Council who are bound to
self-interest, or the interests of their rela
tives" should be the cry In the Third ward
to-morrow. Let every voter of the Citi
zen's party stand by his party's nominee
to-morrow and steer clear of the men who
are always identified with corporate Inter
eats.
