THIRTEEN MEN PROBABLY DEAD
The Water Came Rushing Upon Them Be

Safety The Accident Due to the
Neglect of the Mine Managers.
Central City, Colo., Aug. 30. Tlio ac
cidental flooding of tlio Amorlctm anil
Sleepy Hollow initios yostorduy afternoon
caused tlio death, It Is bellovod, of thlr-
foon mlnnra l)V'n,tf nitnrt-. la lMllrr mniln
to rescuo tho uiifortuiinto moil, but llttlo !
hope Is Giitortulned. A llttlo nftor3 o'clock
tho watur in tlio lower workings of Flsk
mine, east of tho uinin shaft, broke
through tlio old workings of tho vein,
that 1ms not been worked for a number of
years! Coursing oastward, It struck tho
Amerlous, whoro two Italian minors,
whoso nnmos havo not boon learned, wero
at work in tho lower part of tho shaft.
They wore both drowned. , In Its course
tho wntor diverted to tho Sleepy Hollow
mluo, tho oastorly portion of tho Fisk
miuo. Fifteen mon wore working In tho
Sleepy Hollow, thrco of whom cscapod.
A courier was Bent to tho adjacent mines
nnd all tholr workmoii osoaped.
In tho Sleopy Hollow, whoso escapo was
shut off, wero tlio following: N. Vegas,
U. Brocken, Browor Brisk, William
Brisk, Thomas Ponso, Thomas "Williams,
M. II. Lacon, Thomas Colbus, J. Harris,
S. Vnlloro and John Parks.
Tho sounding of tho whtstlo gave tho
first signal of distress, and soou tho shaft
building of the Sleopy Hollow mine was
so crowdod with tho families and relatives
of tho imprisoned minors, and those want
ing to glvo assistance, that it was almost
impossible for tho work of rescuo to go on.
Sheriff Williams finally arrived on tho
ground, tho building was cloarod and
practical minors offorod tholr sorvlcos In
lowering tho bucket. Tho farthost depth
attained was 330 fcot, tlio accumulated
gas forced up by tho rising water being
such that a candio would not burn ut a
grcator doptu. A second effort was made,
a largor sized safety lamp having boon
placed in tho bucket.
The first roseuor who deconded in tho
bucket found Mr. Brisk at tho 330 foot
lovol. On reaching the surfaco ho was
almost In an iusonsiblo condition. An
other man wont down afterward, but was
unsuccessful in ronchiug u lower point in
tho shaft, owing to the rising of tho
water. Tho managors of tho proporty
wore on tho ground and wero vory assidu
ous In their efforts to relieve tho men.
Tho two In Amorlcus nro without doubt
doad. Those in tho Sloopy Hollow, unless
they can bo found In sonio outholo, havo
met death in u similar manner.
Ever sluco tho closing down of tho

A number of representatives ot companies
and individuals owning coal lands in tlio

While in SJieuandoali yesterday we dropped
in for a moment on Martin J. Lawlor, whilom

Justice of tho Peaco business in an olllcc
close to tlio Lehigh Valley depot. Newspapor-
doin lost a very clever writer when Martin
dropped tliu journalistic gray goose quill, and
as there seems to bo any number of men who
are anxious to fill the position of J. P. and
seem to be able to perform tho duties with
fair acceptability, there seems to lie a distinct
loss to tlio public in M. .I.'s change.

FAMILY AWAKENED W FI
Thrilling- Experience of Harry Reese's
Family at Turkey Run.
AH ESCAPE FROM SUFFOCATION
The Public Water Works Makes a Mark
and the Newly Organized Fire Com
pany Distinguishes Itself by
Prompt Service.
Tho family of Harry lieose, at Turkey Itun,
had a thrilling early morning experience to
day and, thanks to tho public water Works,
tlio patch wis spared a destructive fire.
At about 1:30 o'clock Mr. Koeseawoko from
his sleep and experienced a smothering senia
tion. jumping from his bed he found clouds
of smoke were rolling through all tlio rooms
in tlic house and he lost no tlmo in arouing
his family nnd getting them to a place of
safety.
Having accomplished tliis Mr. lieese turned
his attention to locating the fire. Meanwhile
the population of the patch had been aroused
and the recently organized volunteer fire de
partment was called out to perform duty for
tho first time. The members responded
promptly and soon hail a line of hose con
nected with one of tho recently placed the
plugs of the public water works in play on the
flames. Tho fire gave way to the stream and
the people wore soon congratulating them
selves on tho cllicieiicy of tho modem im
provements in tlio patch.
The firo was caused by some bedding in
tlio basement of the house being ignited
from a stove. Furniture and woodwork of
the building wero considerably damaged,
but it is believed $200 will cover all biases.
The people of Turkey Hun say that but
for tho public water works nothing could
have averted a conflagration, as prior to the
introduction of tho new water supply the
patch was without any safeguard against
fire.
Tlio work of the volunteer firo company
so elated tlio people that they propose to aid
it in becoming ns well organized as the com
panies in the town.

It is the intention of Chairman Quay, with
tho concurrence of tho state committee, to

place Frank Willing Leach as chairman. Tin
idea is to conduct the campaign on the plan
of the National Committee. In this way Mr.
Quay will have the benefit of Leach's assist
ance in tho fall campaign.

quarters in Philadelphia to-day, on Walnut
