Terrible Explosion of Gas Under Wllkes
barre, Pa.
EIGHT MEN PROBABLY .KILLED I
Four Others Seriously Injured, Two of
Whom, It Is Feared, Will Die-The
Cause of the Accident Will
Probably Never be Known.
Wilkesbaukk, Pa., Oct. 8. Shortly after
6 o'clock Inst evening a tcrrlflo explosion
of gas occurred In tho Dnrrnnco mino,
operated by tho Lehigh "Valley Coal com
pany, which Is situated In tho northwestern
part of tho city. It Is not yot known how
many men woro In tho mine. Tho officials
nro very reticent, and it is nlmost impossi
ble to get any Information from tho lovels
of tho earth whero tho rescuers nro at work.
At 8 o'clock flvo mon, all badly burned,
wore brought to tho surfaco. Thoy nro;
Robert Blnnchard, ngeil 19 years; William
Wilier, aged 21; Mlchaol Moss, Gcorgo
Lafly and Joseph Murphy, The first two
nro members of tho engineer corps. Moss
nnil Lafly aro laborers, and Murphy Is a
driver. The injuries of Moss woro so se
rious that ho died at tho hospital at 1
o'clock this morning. Miller and Blanch
ard are so terrihly injureil that thoy cannot
survive.
Blnnchard gavo his version of tho explo
sion to a reporter as ho lay on a cot in tho
hospital. According to his statement,
shortly before 5 o'clock tho onglnocr. corps
decided to mnko a survoy of a portion of
tho ohl abandoned workings known as the
Baltimore section, and which underlie tho
grounds of tho Wllkesbarro Baseball club,
0110 mllo distant from tho main opening of
tho mino. Tho party, which was In chargo
of Firo Boss Daniel Recso, who Is an ox-
pert on mlno gases, consisted of William
Jones, William Cahlll and Llewellyn
Owens. Blnnchard anil Miller were left
behind to finish somo work that had been
started in tho morning.
About twelvo minutes after the party
had loft Miller and Blanchard tho explo
sion occurred. Both Miller and Blanehanl
were knocked down by Its force. Flying
timbers also struck Miller, breaking both
his arms. After being knocked down
Miller and Blanchard remembered noth
ing until thoy woro revived at the hospital.
Blanchard thinks ono of tho engineers, or
probably tho fire boss, set lire to a body of
gas in tho old workings, and that all of
tho party must havo been Instantly killed.
When Blanchard was found ho was be
ing slowly roasted to death. The gas had
set flro to his clothes, and thoy had been
almost burned off his body when tho res
cuers camo upon him. Miller, with his
broken arms, could render him no assist
ance, and Blanchard was so piuncd down
by debris that ho could not mako uso of
his hands.
At midnight tho rescuers had made very
llttlo headway In thoir offorts to reach tho
sceno of tho explosion. Flro damp mado
its nppoaranco shortly after 8 o'clock and
it was nccossary to do considerable brat
tice work, which proceeded very slowly.
There Is a strong suspicion also that tho
explosion caused a heavy fall in tho old
workings and that this will further retard
tho work of tho rescuers.
- It Is now admitted by tho mino officials
that there is no hopo of finding tho engi
neer corps nllvo. Thoy all perished in tho
oxplosion, and if they woro not killed out
right thoy were suffocated by tho flro
damp. Tho superlntondont Is of tho opin
ion that thoy wore killed by tho force of
tho oxplosion, and thoir bodies probably
burned to a crisp. All but eight miners
and laborers havo now boon accounted for.
Superintendent Chaso thinks, however,
that tho list of dead will not numbormore
than soven or eight. Theso may bo put
down ns follows: William L. Jones, min
ing engineer, aged 21, of Wilkesbarroj
William Cahlll, mining engineer, nged 20,
Wllkesbarro; Llewellyn Owens, mining
engineer, aged 21, Plttstou; Danlol Davis,
flro boss, aged 38; threo unknown men,
probably Hungarian laborers.

baby, 9 days old, died. Tho coroner yes
terday found tho family In a horrlblo con
dition. Tho body of tho baby was covered
with dirt and was a mero skeleton. Tho
coroner believes doath was caused by
starvation. A week ago tho neighbors
took an 18-month-old boy away from tho
family, and are trying to savo his lifo. Ho
was on tho verge of starvation. Longo

Joo Yedusky called at the storo of Nicholas
Saba yesterday and bought a quantity of
cigarettes valued at $21.03. Ho paid $10
down, asked Saba to accompany him to tho
hank to get tho balanco. Arriving at that
place Saba was left without tho money and
ho caused Ycdusky's arrest on a charge of
fraudulently obtaining goods. Ycdusky
claimed that ho did not buy tho goods for
himself as agent for one Stinoy Losuskl
and that tho cigarettes diil not belong to
Nicholas Saba, but to his brother, Michael
Saba, who w.is indebted to Stinoy Lesuski for
wages to the amount of 15, the difference
between tho amount paid on the cigarettes
and tho amount duo. Nicholas Saba claimed
that his brother Mike sold the goods as his
salesman and that, while Joo Ycdusky
claimed tb bo a driver in tho employ of Stinoy
Lcsusky, tho former was the real dealer.
Justico Williams ruled that, anido from the
question of principal and agent, the halo of
the cigarettes was on a cash basis and
Yedusky could not tako tho goods to satisfy
Lesusky's claim against Mike Saba, ami
Yedusky was put under bail for trial at court.

THE RECEIPTS AND EXPENDITURES
What It Costs to Operate tho Public Schools
For a Year Important Point In Con
nection With the Tax on
Individuals.
Tho School Hoard met last evening and
decided upon tho tax rato for 1803, fixing 11
mills for school and 3 mills for building pur
poses, tho samo rato that wis in forco last
year.
Tho estimate is based on tho valuation of
taxables as fixed by tho County Commission
ers, viz: 2,318,171, or a reduction of over
$100,000 on the valuation of last year.
According to ostimatos of tho fltiuiico elm
lnittee tho School Hoard will require for its
expenses during the current year $72,001.
This includes $27,310 for salarios of teachers,
$1,010 for evening schools, $530 for county in
stitute, $2,770 for salaries of ollicers, $3,502
for janitors, $1,200 for coal and $3,000 for
text books and supplies. Tho estimate also
includes an expenditure of $11,500 for tho
liquidation of loans that woro carried over
from last year, and tho running expenses of
tho Hoard will not exceed those of last year,
Tho income of the Hoard will amount to
$72,238.19, of which sum $32,87-1.39 will bo
derived from the tax rate of 11 mills on the
valuation as fixed by tho County Commis
sioners, but, whilo tho figures show a deficit
of $305,81, the Hoard will, or should have, a
surplus of about $2,000.
This calculation is mado upon tho dill'orence
between the valuation fixed by the Commis
sioners and the amount tho School Hoard is
entitled to receive under the school law.
Under the old valuation miners were
assessed at $150 and paid a school tax of $2.10.
Tliis year they aro assessed at $50 and tho
tax is but 70 cents. Laborers were pre
viously assessed at $100 and paid a school
tax of $1. 10, but this year aro assessed at $30
and the tax is 42 cents. It is the figuring on
tho reduced assessments that biinirs out tho
deficit of $30.).81, but the school law pro
vides that eveiy taxable must pay a school
tux of at least $1, so that tho Hoard will re
ceive 30 cents from miners and 59 cents from
laborers more than is allowed by the assess
ments made by tho County Commissioners
and this will cover tho deficiency and leave
a balance of about $2,000.
Tho Hoard has had no occasion heretofore
tu tako advantage of tho school law for the
obvious reason that tho assessment as fixed
by the County Commissioners have not run
the tax below $1 and tho law only reached
cripples and aged people. And, In fact, no
advantage is now taken by the Hoard, as tho
law is directory in its effect ami tho Itcceiver
of Taxes will be obliged to collect a scliool
tax of $1 regardless of tho amount due under
tho valuation fixed by the County Com
missioners. Uon't Von Smell the Hops'.

Sidewalk Incident.
Tho burost way for one to cause a rupture

Itadzicwicn, tho saloonkeeper, keeps a bird
dog. The dogs fought yesterday and in try
ing to part them Uadziewlcz kicked the bull
dog. Fahey retaliated with a kick at
Kadzicwicz, which did no harm other than to
precipitate u war of words that attracted a
crowd. For a few moments it looked as if
thero would be a freo ihjht, but all hands
ovontually cooled down without resorting to

"DEMO REST"
is the name of one of the best
Sewing Machines now manufac
tured. How much and yet how little
most folks know about Sewing
Machines.
How many do know the crust
of "expense," counted in the
usual retail price of all Sewing
Machines.
It would astonish buyers if
they knew what actual cost is
and what retail price would be
were machines sold on the same
basis as the Dry Goods, Shoes,
or other merchandise.
Why not sell them so ? Time
for important patents has expired.
The field is now open, therefore
we offer you now a
$50.00 MACHINE for $19.50.
Taken all in all, we count the
"DEMOREST" the best Sewing
Machine in the market.
Light running, easily managed,
no noise, high arm, no springs,
even' movement positive, hard
ened steel bearings, all steel at
tachments. More up to date in
improvements than any other.
How can we sell such a
machine at $19.50? Easy
enough.
We buy and sell sewing
machines as we buy and sell Dry
Goods.
No canvassers, no installment
business, nothing to make cus
tomers stand extra costs.
