Fatal Explosion
Three men were killed, six more prob
ably fatally injured and nineteen others
more or less seriously burned by an ex
plosion at Buck Mountain colliery,
Schuylkill county, on Friday. Edward
Gallagher, a repairman, with a flaming
mining lamp, went into an old abandon
ed breast to secure a plank. lie Is al
leged to have accidentally touched of!
the gas.
James Griffiths, aged 40, Mahanoy
City, was killed outright, and John Mc-
Dlynn, aged 17, Buck Mountain, and
Charles Jones, aged 50, Buck Mountain,
have died from their wounds. Joseph
Strokonas, aged 30, Buck Mountain;
Henry Obrecht, Mahanoy City; Edward
Gallagher, aged 00, Buck Mountain;
Daniel Shovelin, aged 55, Buck Moun
tain, and Andrew Haverilla were
seriously burned.
Gallagher died yesterday from the
effects of his injuries, and at an early
hour this morning David Lenardy,
whose injuries were considered not seri
ous, also died.
Michael Butzkis, David Jenkins, Louis
Bartcll, Charles Smith, Joseph Sudikas,
Joseph Silkonas, Paul Yutko, Andrew
Pierce and others were painfully burned.
Three of the victims, Jones, Shovelin
and Gallagher, were at one time resi
dents of this vicinity; Jones having lived
many years at Upper Lehigh, Shovelin
at Highland and Gallagher at Freeland.
As far as can be learned, tho explosion
was apparently due to Edward Gal
lagher going Into an abandoned work
ing with a naked lamp and igniting the
gas, which had accumulated. Gallagher
had been ordered to procure a plank for
the purpose of making repairs, and the
lire boss, William Moses, says he ad
monished Gallagher not to enter that
abandoned working. Gallagher, on the
other hand, says he received no warn
ing whatever.
TO BE BURIED HERE.
Charles Jones, one of tho victims of
the terrible explosion at Buck Mountaiu
colliery on Friday, will bo buried here
tomorrow. The remains aro expected
to arrive at 11.45 a. ui., and will be
taken to Freeland cemetery for Inter
ment. Mr. Jones was a resident of
! Upper Lehigh for many years and had a
large number of friends In this section.
The deceased was a brother of Mrs.
Thomas Parry, Upper Lehigh.
End of Tragic Romance.
The State Board of Pardons has
pardoned Frank Bezek, who six years
ago was convicted of killing his sweet
heart, Maria Kerzac, at Olyphant,
Lackawanna county. He was sentenced
to bo hanged, but afterward the sen
tence was commuted to imprisonment
for life. Bezek and Maria Kerzac were
lovers In Croatia, Austria, according to
evidence brought out at his trial. He
preceded her to this country and worked
in tho minos, and when he had accumu
lated sufficient money ho sent for the
woman to come to this country.
She soon afterward arrived and went
to the homo of a relative In Olyphant.
But before the wedding day another
man appeared on the scene, supplanting
Bezek in tho affections of tho young
woman. Bezek came down to Olyphant
to claim his bride, and was turned away.
Ho then shot her dead.
At tho trial it was attempted to be
shown by tho defendant that he was
down-hearted and attempted to commit
suicide. In doing so, it was said, the
women pulled the revolver around so
that when it was discharged, tho bullet
pierced her nock, fatally wounding her.
Water Famine Feared.
The drought in tho coal region Is be
coming more serious daily. The Phila
delphia and Reading Railway at Maha
noy Piano Is now compelled to haul
water in oil tanks from Sunbury, a dis
tance of forty-one miles. At Shenan
doah the water from the public works is
turned on but three hours each day,
two hours in the morning and one hour
in the evening. For domestic purposes
enough of this scant supply is stored to
serve for twenty-four hours.
Reading Coal Company collieries de
pond almost entirely on sulphur water
pumped from the mines and purified
with the assistance of lime. This Is
well enough as a touiporary expedient,
but Its continued use means sure de
struction to the boilers. Tho sulphur
water eats away tho tubes and the
boilers aro usoless within a month.

THEATRICAL
Augustus Pitou's naval drama, "The
Gunner's Mate," is to be presented next
Friday evening for the second time in
Freeland. This play is from the pen
of a man well calculated to picture, in a
consistent and true-to-life manner, the
incidents and every day happenings
among Uncle Sam's blue jackets. Its
author is dramatic editor of the Newark,
N. J., Sunday Call. The dramatic ex
perience and familiarity with nautical
lore cannot fail to produce a play that
will appeal most forcibly to the Ameri
can public. When to these considera
tions aro added the fact that the pro
duction is under the management of
Augustus Pitou, its claim upon the at
tention of a patriotic theatre-going
public can bo made no stronger.
Three of tho five scenes of tho play
present actual reproductions of views of
the cruiser New York. The story is full
of strong sensational effects, with a
grateful intermingling of comedy. The
scene showing tho lire-room of the New
York, and the thrilling climax which
transpires in it, is one of the strongest
imaginable.
Among the special features of tho pro
duction are a mandolin quartette, a pair
of buck dancers and several high-class
singers.

William A. Brady's magnificent pro
duction of that beautiful pastoral drama,

now duplicating its Eastern success at
McVlcker's theatre in Chicago, will be
seen here during the season.
Executive Board Meeting.
Benjamin James, of Jeanosville, has
boon summoned to Indianapolis to
attend a meeting of tho national execu
tive board of the United Mine Workers.
Tho meeting will bo the last to bo hold
by the board before the national conven
tion in January. Matters of grave im
portance will be considered and the pol
icy to be adopted at tho convention will
be outlined.
Foremost among these matters is the
cond i I ion in the anthracite fields. While
the miners were victorious in the great
strike which has just been settled, this
was simply a preliminary skirmish, and
a great deal of work remains to bo done,
it is announced. The primary consid
eration is to get tho operators in tlia
anthracite districts to meet the repre
sentatives of tho United Mine Workers
in annual scale conference.
Abused the Horse.
Rev. J. W. Bischoff drove from his
home in Upper Lehigh Monday morning
and placed his horse and carriage In tho
stable, rear of the Presbyterian church
on Front street. He then left for Uazle
ton, going and returning via the trolley
line. Arriving here at 1 o'clock ho went
for his horse and found the animal in
the stable reeking with sweat and show
ing the effects of having been driven
hard. The day was cold and the horse
was in great danger of becoming 111.
No trace of the party who took tho
horse and carriage from tho stable has
yet been found, but it was probably
done by some person familiar with the
owner's movements. Should the identi
ty of the guilty one be established, he
will be prosecuted.
Assistant District Attorney.
The large majority given In Freeland
to lionj. R. Jones, district attorney
elect, has started a movement among
the friends of John M. Carr, Esq., with
tho object of securing for him the ap
pointment by Mr. Jones of assistant dis
trict attorney. Mr. Carr Is well quali
fied for tho position, and his friends feel
that his work for the party in tho late
and previous campaigns deserves con
sideration.
Other lawyers whose claims are being
pushed for the appointment are Gran
ville J. Clark, E. F. Cook, John D. Farn
ham, W. 11. McCartney aud H. F.
Meyers.
