Good Work Done at (be Kehley Run
Colliery.
LEHTY WATER AND GOOD AIR !
The Men Have Reached and Are at Work
In the Chute In Which the Fire
Btarted-The Outlook la Very
Encouraging.
The past twenty-four hours havo been pro-
luctive of excellent results In connection
with tbo work of fighting the fire In the
Kebley Bun colliery and It now seems that
io fire is practically extinguished. This re
sult is not only exceedingly gratifying to the
Hi c in Is ana employes ot ttie Ken ley nun
colliery, but also to those of the Kohlnoor
and Indian Bidgo collieiios, In view of the
fact that at ono time yesterday tboro was
grave apprebonsion as to tbo final outcome
of tho fire.
Tho plans as outlined In last evening's Issue
of the llF.nALD lor fighting tho firo wero car
ried out last night and during tho early
morning hours of to-dy with most gratify'
ng effect. Tho pipe lino constructed in the
old Ringtown slope, with Its connection with
tho reservoir of tho Bescuo Hook & Ladder
ComiHiny. afforded tbe firo fighters an nbund
nt supply of water and tho fores fan also did
good work In driving back tho gas and black'
damp and enabled tho men toadvanco toward
the seat of the fire.
These operations proved so satisfactory
that by eight o'clock last night tho water
reached tho flio. Tho good work was kept
up and during tho later hours of tho night
tbo advanco made enabled the men to load
five cars of debris from the chuto of breast
43, whero the fire started.
At eight o clock this morning tho firo an
pcarcd about out. but water was still being
poured into the place.
At ten o clock an official stated that tbo
firo was under coutrol and that the men
would probably roach tho western end of tbe
fire this afternoon. Water was being abun
dantly used with excellent effect.
An hour and a half later another bulletin
was issued to the etlcct that tbore was still a
little fire in the chuto of breast 43, about 30
feet from the gangway and tho prospects for
speedily quenching It wero very favorable.
During this morning tho men succeeded in
getting five more car loads of debris out of
breast 43 and kept two streams of water
running Into the breast. There aro two
chutes In tbe breast.
This aftornoon the officials stated that the
fire in tho inside chute was out, but tho out
sido chuto was still giving trouble. The
men succeeded in getting up this chute
to a distance of about forty-fire feet and
there found a pretty good bed of fire. Tbe
water pipe was then extended up tho chute
to tbe point reached by the men and a good
stream was played upon the fire. The von
tilation is very good for the men aud it Is
believed they will soon reach a point from
which tho firo can bo finally extinguished

Prom Pottsville Chronicle.
The Shonandoah Herald states that Sena
tor Losch intends again running for tbo
Senato ; that he will soou return homo from
the hospital practically a well man, and that
the Eepublican party Is hereafter to be led by
Losch, Chailcs A. Snyder, Daniel Duffy and
Wm. Wllbelm. There Is lots of political
news squeezed Into that one sentence, and
tbe rank and file of the party will no doubt
be startled with the thought tbat Wm.
Wilhelm, tbe uncompromising blmetalist and
follower of "Pitchfork" Tillman, Is to be
one of the men to stand near the top. It's a
great combination of names the Herald
prints as party leaders, but there are few to
believe tbe quartette will over pull together.

New York, Nov. SO. William K.
Miller, who conducted tho Franklin
syndicate In Ilrooklyn, has not yet
been arrested, the so-called dragnets oi
the police evidently blng out of order.
The police have not the faintest Idea
whero .Miller la.
The Franklin syndicate safe, which
was locked up by Miller the last thing
before he took night, was opened by
a locksmith yesterday In a Brooklyn
police station. In it waB found 190
shares of Brooklyn Rapid Transit
stock and a few worthless scraps ot
nnnor. There waa not a penny ot cash
and nothing of value except the stock.
Postmaster Wilson, of Brooklyn, haa
received an order from the postmaster
general directing him to return, so far
as possible to the senders all letters
addressed to the snydlcato. AJiout 1,
500 pieces ot mall, Including over $12,-
000 worth of money orders, havo ac
cumulated since Saturday.
Hubert G. Taylor, the lawyer who
was appointed receiver of the syndi
cate, has asked to be relieved ot the
appointment on the ground that ho
does not like to have his name asso
ciated In the public mind with that of
Miller and his unsavory supporters.

the syndicate's property has been con

Theso bankruptcy proceedings, It Is
said, will take precedence over all
other claims filed against the syndi
cate. Louis A. Gourdaln, who has a bank
ing office in tho Metropolitan Llfo In
surance building, at No. 1 Madison
avenue, and Is alleged to have a
scheme similar to that of the Franklin
syndicate, waa arrested yesterday on
tho order of Chief ot Police Devery.
He was taken to police headquarters
and will be charged with swindling.
Gourdaln Is said to bo a well known
lottery man-from New Orleans. Ha

INTERNAL RFVPNUE RECEIPTS.

Wur Ilevenue Mcimiire.
Washington, Nov. 29. Commissioner
George W. WllBon, of the internal
revenue bureau, In his report to the
secretary of the treasury of the oper
ations of his office from the fiscal year
ended Juno 30, 181)9, shows that tho
receipts from all sources aggregated
$273,484,573, an increase over tho pre
ceding year of $102,617,000. and an in
crease of ?3,484.573 over tho estimate
ot the commissioner made one year
ago. The commissioner estimates that
the receipts from all sources for the
present year will approximate $285,
000,000, which Is about $11,500,000 In
excess of the receipts for the year clos'
ed June 30, 1&99.
During the last year officers of the
Internal revenue seized 2,190 illicit
(tills and In the discharge ot their
duty one officer was killed and three
wounded. There wore 711 persons ar
rested in connection with Illicit dls
tilling, which, the commissioner says,
Is rather on tho increase In certain
sections of the country.
The commissioner recommends sev
eral amendments to the war revenue
act, among them one providing that
estates In this country ot persons re
siding abroad at the time of their
death shall be taxed the same as the
estates of persons residing In this
country. It is also recommended that
tho agricultural fairs be exempt from
payment of revenue tax.
