STAB SESCOS STOISIE:. Hugh Mailoy, Prop. £* FIRE DAMP KILLS TWO Miners Mills the Scene of the Accident. Mine Superintendents D. J. Williams and William Morgans the Victims at Pine Ridge Colliery. Two men were killed, two seriously affected, and six others, constituting a rescuing party, were overcome by fire damp in the Pine Ridge colliery of the Algonquin Coal Company, at Miners Mills, yesterday. A second rescuing party was required to bring the others out. The dead are Mine Super intendent I). J. Williams and Assistant Mine Superintendent William Morgans. The mine adjoins the Delaware, whero a fire has been raging for the past six weeks. Early yesterday morning Superintend ents Williams and Morgans with Fire Bosses William Early and Martin For tune, went into the mine to investigate the extent of the damage by the fire, which had eaten its way from the Dela ware into the Pine Ridge. At 7 o'clock last night, when the four officials had not returned, those on the surface became alarmed for their safety, and a rescuing party of six men was sent down, while a great crowd of frightened people asvaitod anxiously at the mouth of the shaft for news from below. Two anxious hours passed, and when no sign came from the rescuers, the apprehen sion increased to such an extent that a second rescuing party of ten men was sent down at 9 o'clock. Proceeding with the utmost caution they found the fire damp in dangerous quantities, and were compelled to fight their way along, foot by foot, brushing the suffocating fumes away with their coats and hastily erecting canvas brat tics to guide the air current in their direction. It was an hour before they found any of the men, and then they came upon four of the first rescuing party, over come and unconscious, and lying along the gangway. They were carried to the foot of the shaft, and a dash made for the other two. These were found some distance further in, overcome, and having with them Early and Fortune, who were nearly dead. A short distance further back they found the bodies of Williams and Morgans, and at half-past 10 o'clock they got all the men to the foot of the shaft by heroic work. The first rescuing party found the four men, Williams, Morgans, Early and Fortune, along the gangway. The two former were dead, and the latter two nearly so. In attempting to drag them out they were overcome. Williams and Morgans were among the most prominent mining ofiieials in the Wyoming region. Nurse Became His Bride. Father E. S. Phillips, of St. Gabriel's church, yesterday consuinated a pretty romance when he united in marriage Arthur J. Evans, of this city, to Miss Elizabeth Oakes, of Humboldt. The bride was a nurse at the Miners' hospital. Last summer Mr. Evans was a patient at the institution. After having been operated on, Miss Oakes took charge of the young man. The companionship soon ripened into love, which was climaxed by marriage yesterday. Miss Oakes is a daughter of George Oakes, of Huinbolt, and is well known in this region. The groom is a Lehigh Traction conductor and was one of the members of the Eighteenth regiment when it was stationed in the Philippines during the war.—Hazleton Standard. A Quiet Wedding. * A wedding occurred at Ashland last evening which was not only "a quiet affair," hut was novel and interesting. The contracting parties are both mutes, the ceremony was performed by a clergyman who is a mute and fifteen mutes were among the guests. The parties to this striking ceremony I were Miss Emma Ivehler and John i Zimmerman. The officiating minister was Rev. J. M. Koehlor, of Philadelphia. The entire ceremony was performed j by means of the sign language, and was succeeded by a wedding feast in one of the leading hotels.

THEATRICAL. "A Million a Minute," a musical com edy satirizing Wall street brokers and their doings, was presented at the Grand opera house last evening. It is not quite so swift as its title, neverthe less it traveled along at a rapid pace and its abundance of rapid-lire repartee compelled the audience to keep wide awake to catch the numerous bright sayings with which the author has sup plied the excellent company. There were lots of good songs sang by men and women who possess good voices, and when the rough edges are worn off the piece is bound to make a hit wherever it appears. X X t The next attraction will be "Grime's Cellar Door," on the Dili inst. James B. Mackie, the man who made lloyt's "Bunch of Keys" famous, is still the comedian in this piece. This season there is a large death rate among children from croup and lung troubles. Prompt action will save the little ones from these terrible diseases.
