Mrs. Oscar Dandoy Received Burns Which Caused Her Death. An accident with a fatal termination | occurred near the Columbia No. 12 mine, at the home of Oscar Dandoy, Friday night, when his wife, Hortense, received injuries from which she died Tuesday. At the time of the explosion Mrs. Dandoy was sitting in the kitchen near the lamp and the burning oil was thrown all over her, enveloping her in flames. She received serious, but not necessarily fatal,injuries,and died from the effects of inhaling the flame. She recovered somewhat during the night, but grew worse Saturday and the final dissolution took place Tuesday morn- ing at 5 o’clock. She was about 40 years of age, of French extraction, and besides her hus- band and a married daughter,Mrs. Eva Lindbloom, of Derry, is survived by seven children, the youngest six months old. The funeral was held Thursday afternoon at 3 o’clock in Trinity Episcopal church, and was con- ducted by the rector, Rev. J. H. Fairlie. The interment was in the Fairview cemetery. HOLD NEW POSITIONS. Several Changes in Mining Department of the Local Coat Company. Beginning on Saturday last, there are several changes of local interest in the Beech Creek Coal & Coke company. Harvey S. Lingle, who has been assist- ant superintendent of the mining de- partment ever since the corporation was organized, was promoted to be Hon. W. C. Lingle, whose resignation took effect on that day. The new assistant superintendent is Frank Campbell, formerly mine fore- man at Flannagan No. 8.

District No. 2 met at Clearfield Friday | TRUNKS AND VALISES. and took up two grievances of the min- | ers against the Beech Creek Coal & Coke company. William McPherson, one of the mem- bers of the board who recently resigned | as vice president of this district of the | United Mine Workers, handed in his resignation and James Purcell, of Tio- go county, was appointed in his place. The board now consists of Eli T. Connor, of Cresson; Richard Gilbert, of ney, and Mr. Purcell. The first case was presented by the employes of the Beech Creek company refused to recognize certain assign- thorizing a deduction of coal to be After hearing the evidence the board company to accept and recognize them. Evidence was also heard on another case presented by the miners against the Beech Creek Coal & Coke company alleging that the corporation was charging without authority a commis- sion of five per cent on all moneys due the checkweighmen fund created by written orders given by the miners au- thorizing a deduction of coal from their semi-monthly tonnage, payment to be made to the checkweighman. After hearing a large number of wit- nesses a question of jurisdiction was raised and the board without deciding the question deemed it wise to call up- | on the officials of the Uuited Mine Workers and the Bituminous Opera- tors’ Association to sign a paper agree- ing to give the board the necessary jur- isdiction of the controversy and that their decision or that of an umpire should be final. Such a paper was prepared and was forwarded to the above named officials and upon its return, which will likely be some time next week, the board will resume the hearing. TRANSACTIONS IN REALTY.

CARROLL TOWNSHIP GAS. ree ] and Used | for Illuminant and Fuel. i Aiter being closed up for two days as an experiment, the new gas well re- | cently drilled on the Fisher farm in Carroll township was opened Saturday morning.
