SAD FATE OF FOUR MEN.
A CREW ON THE D. S. & S. RAILROAD
HURLED INTO ETERNITY.
Engineer Chambers, Fireman Stewart,
ISrakemen lloyle and O'Donnell In
stantly Killed and William Tiinney
Serioualy Injured by an Explonion.
Shortly after 1 o'clock yesterday af
ternoon the boiler of D. S. fe S. engine
No. 4 explodod near Gum Run, on the
Derringer branch of the road, killing
foiir men and injuring another. All
were residents of Freeland. The dead
are:
John Chambers,engineer, Front street.
Jonas Stewart, fireman, Centre street.
Frank P. O'Donnell, brakoman, Wash
ington street.
Michael Boyle, brakeman,Rjdgcstreet.
William J. Tiinney, conductor, Centre
street, was seriously injured, and Henry
Tully, flagman, Adams street, is suffer
ing from nervousness brought on by tho
shock.
Engine No. 4 was engaged In taking
out a passenger train in the morning
and returning with the same every even
ing. During the day the crew hauled
coal from Derringer to Roan. A small
train of coal cars was attached to the
at the time of the explosion.
The train started from Gum Run yard
and was moving slowly. The men had
just comploted their noonday meal.
Engineer Chambers anil Brakcjnan Boyle
were in the cab and Fireman Stewart
and Brakoman O'Donnoll stood on the
tender.
Before the tower was reached Con
ductor Timney stepped to the front of
of the engine to receive orders from the
operator. After receiving these ho re
mained on tho fore part of the locomo
tive looking over his instructions. Flag
man Tully was sitting on tho rear car of
tho train.
Tho train proceeded slowly up the
road a distance of about 150 feet, whon
suddenly, without the slightest warning
whatever, tho boiler burst. The engi
neer, fireman and two brakomen were
killed outright and were thrown some
distance from the track. The conductor
was also hurled off the locomotive, but
miraculously escaped the fate of his
companions. The tlagman was knocked
♦jff the cars to the ground below.
Tho noise of the explosion attracted
the attention of tho telegraph operator
at tho tower. He summoned assistance,
and the sight that met the eyes of the
first arrivals upon the scene was terrible.
Tho bodies of the five men were scatter
ed about, and a hasty examination show
ed that none but the conductor was
alive.
Tho tender were literally
blown to pieces. Parts of them were
found 100 yards away from where the
accident happened. Nothing remained
in positiou but tho wheels. The rails
underneath were twisted and torn, and
the telegraph wires overhead were part
ed. The scene battled description.
The bodies of tho dead were immedi
ately carod for and given all the atten
tion possible at that spot. All of them
are more or less distigurod. Stewart is
probably tho most mangled about the
body, being disemboweled, but O'Don
nell is tho worst about the head. Cham
r #ers and Boyle have many cuts and
gashes. Tho bodies arrived here shortly
after 8 o'clock last night and were im
mediately taken to tho homes of tho
men.
A special train conveyed Conductor
to Hazleton hospital. The phy
sicians thero pronounce his injuries rieri
ous, but not likely to bo fatal. His
right instep was struck by some weighty
article, and until the swelling 19 reduced
it will not be known if the foot is broken.
He received a severe gash across the
nose, and a large cut on tho back of tho
head. His condition at present is very
favorable to recovery. lie was tilling
the position of P. 11. Hanlon, tho regular
conductor, who is ill.
Superintendent Smith reached the
scene as soon as possible. He could
give no explanation as to the cause of
the accident. Tho engine was consider
ed a reliablo one, and the men in charge
were experienced railroaders. Deputy
Coroner McCoombs will hold an inquest,
and the railroad company will have an
investigation made. Tho loss of the
rygine amounts to about SIO,OOO.
Tho news of the accident caused great
excitement here. The fact that all the
men resided In town addod to the sad
ness of the affair. It was tho first great
catastrophe on the road.
The company's officials and the rail
roaders speak highly of the ability of
the entire crew. They were regarded
among the most trustworthy men on the
road. Personally, all wero hold in high
esteem by their acquaintances In town
and wherever they were known. Their
sudden death is sincerely regretted by
the community.
John Chambers was aged about 3.3
years. A wlfo and four children sur
vive him. lie was a member of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
and several beneficial organizations.
Undertaker Bachman has charge of the
funeral, but no hour has been set for
the burial. It will take place ou Sun
- >
day, and if a special train can be se
cured tho interment will bo made at
Catawissa, Columbia county.
Jonas Stewart leaves a wife and three
children. His funeral will be held on Sun
day afternoon at 2 o'clock under charge
of Undertaker Albert. Services will be
hold at St. John's Reformed church; in
terment at Freeland cemetery. The de
ceased was aged 36 years and 6 months.
Frank P. O'Donnell was married, but
leaves no children. His age was 26
years, 7 months and 7 days. He was
married a little more than a year ago to
Miss Mary Dover, and since then "his
father and his father-in-law have died.
Besides his wife ho is survived by his
mother and by two brothers, Manus, of
Yorktown, and James, of Virginia. He
was a member of tho Young Men's C. T.

Firo on Tuettduy Evening.
Fire was discovered about 8 o'clock on
Tuesday evening on tlie roof of tlie feed
mill owned by the Freeland Mercantile
Company, Limited. The alarm was
sounded and tlie fire apparatus was on
the scene in a short while. Tlie blaze
was just beginning to make headway
when tho firemen succeeded in turning
on a stream of water, and in a few
minutes tlie fire was extinguished. The
loss is small. Tho origin is not known.
Tho firemen complain that they were
retarded in their work by the crowd
that had gathered. Quite a number of
poople unthinkingly stood on tho hose
and one length was burst through their
action. Not until tlie water was turned
on tho crowd did the firemen have a
chance to work.
Hoard of Trade Meeting.
The Board of Trado held a meeting
last evening at tho council room. The
session was short and slimly attended,
owing to the stormy weather. The com
mittees having charge of the silk mill
and overall factory negotiations reported
all arrangements progressing satisfac
torily. The committee on annexation
was instructed to confer with council at
the latter's meeting this evening to ac
complish something definite towards
tills movement.
A special meeting of the board will be
held next Wednesday ovenlng at 8.15
o'clock.
Hate of Eckert'a Execution.
Governor Hastings has fixed May 14 as
the day for execution of Abram I. Eckert
who murdered Fred Bittenbender at
Nanticoko last July. When tlie news
was broken to Eckert in the jail he
almost broke down. Then lie looked up
and to himself began counting out the
days. The intelligence seemed to stagger
him and it seemed that lie could hardly
realize it.

In Favor of tlie Township.
In court on Tuesday the case of Joseph
Serricks against Foster township was
placed on trial. Attorney Lynch repre
sented tlie plaintiff, and Attorneys
Stroll, Fuller and McClintock represent
ed tho township. Tho plaintiff was su
pervisor of the township in 1891 and em
ployed his two sons and his horse in re
pairing tiie roads and also charged his
own salary at $2 a day. The township
auditors who audited the account refus
ed to allow the claim of the plaintiff's
sons for wages, and would not allow the
supervisor $2 a day. Tho plaintiff
brought suit to recover tho money,
which amounted to $7Bl, but tho court
held that tlie supervisor was wrong, and
ordered the jury to find for the dofen-;
dant.
The similar caso of Thomas Early I
against the township of Foster was de
cided in like manner, the jury finding
against the plaintiff in the sum of
$704.33.
The Mae Knight Failure.
Tlie failure of O. B. Mac Knight, the
merchant of Plains, is now known to be
heavier than at first supposed. Mort
gages on his property to tho amount of
$30,121.8(1 arc on record, and judgment
notes for $39,000 arc also against him.
Other debts in money given him by his
neighbors bring the total of liabilities
up to tho neighborhood of $lOO,OOO.
Among those who hold judgment notes
'against Mac Knight are Joseph Birkbeek,
of Wilkesbarre, who has two amounting
to $9,400, and the Citizens 1 bank, which
has one for $1,500. The assets are esti
mated at from $20,000 to $50,000.
One of the sensations in the case was
the hanging in ofligy on Monday of the
bankrupt merchant and private banker.
The figure, which was stuffed with straw,
was hung by the neck from an arm. of a
telegraph pole in front of Ids store. • It
was hung some time after midnight and
remained in place until about 9 o'clock
in the morning, when a couple of Mac-
Knight's friends got a ladder and pulled
it down.
Judgments have been entered against
.lames .1. llowlcy on several accounts,
amounting to $2,101. This is a direct
result of MacKuight's failure, lluwley
vas formerly a tax collector in Plalus
and ho paid over to Maclvnight at vari
ous times sum amounting to $2,700 lo
deposit. Maclvnight never deposited ii
and, as a result of the exposure, How
ley's creditors swo iped down upon him.
llowley is dangerously ill with pneu
monia.
No trace of Maclvnight lias yet been
found.
The Annexation Movement.
The committee of council consisting
of Messrs. Broslin, Median, Zemanv
and Shlgo. accompanied by Solicitor J.
M. Carr, and Messrs. 11. C. Ivoons. J.
Berner, Hugh Malloy and Thomas Hirk
beck, representing tlio Board of Trade,
made a tour on Tuesday over the terri
tory proposed to be annexed to the bor
ough on the north side. While the com
mittee representing the Board of Trade
had no definite plan in view nor any
suggestions to offer as to how much of
the territory should bo annexed, and the
committee of council not having any in
structions, nothing was done beyond
viewing the ground.
The committees started from the
northeast corner of the Public park,
near the water works, and followed the
boundaries of the Edward Lynch and
Andrew Kennedy tracts of land north
to the George Heberton tract, near to
the land of the Upper Lehigh Coal Com
pany, thence westward to'tlio boundary
of Butler township, thence south along
the James Black tract to the western
limit of the borough.
This would embraco all of what is
known as South Heberton, with the ex
ception of A1 vinton.
The committee, of council held a meet
ing immediately after their return, and
issued a call for a special meeting of
council to be hold tonight, when Action
upon the report of the two committees
will be taken.
The annexation of the above territory,
together with Fern street on the west
side of the borough, would give ample
room for all industries that might do '
sire to locate in town for many years to
come.
Dropped Into a Mine Hole.
Martin Olivette, aged 40 years, in
company with two other men left the j
Glbcrton colliery, near Ashland, on Tues- !
day night after completing their work for
the day and started over the hill towards
their home at Turkey ltun. While pass
ing along a narrow patch, Olivette, in the
lead, the earth suddenly gave way and .
Olivette disappeared from view.
Ills companions, noticing it, jumped
back. They hoard the rush of the earth |
and tho clatter of stones and creeping
to the edge of the breach they were
horriiicd to find that the opening was
almost perpendicular, and about 100 feet
deep. They shouted hut got no reply.
Then they hastened to a village near by, I
where they informed the residents what j
had occurred, and a large crowd soon
congregated with lanterns and mining j
lamps.
A stout rope was secured from one i f
the collieries, which was thrown over a
limb of a tree and a young man named
Mendoff was lowered to the bottom of
the. breech, where he found Olivette l
alive but badly injured. Ho was raised
to the surface and taken to the miners'
hospital at Ashland.
