Mike Raymuck and Andrew Chepa Instantly Killed by a Fall of Coal Which Broke Through Their Platform. Michael Raymuck and Andrew Chepa, two meu employed in No. 4 colliery, Oakdale, were instantly killed shortly after 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon. The manner in which these miners met their death was unusual. Their lives were crushed out while they sought safety from other dangers, and their supposed haven proved to be a death trap from which they were unable to escape. The men worked as partnors in a breast in No. 4 mine. They prepared a blast at the face of their chamber, and after firing the same went to the gangway to cigan up the debris caused by their shot. While engaged at this work they heard a trip of cars coming, and, not having sufficient 9pace to stand at the side while the cars were passing, both scrambled under the platform at the mouth of their breast, thinking that there they had found a place where they would be secure from danger of every kind. The trip passed, but before the miners had time to emerge from their hiding hole a large mass of coal fell from the roof above the platform. The latter structure immediately gave way and both men were caught beneath the tim bers and the coal, causing instant death. The driver, returning along the gang way a few minutes later, saw the oiTocts of the disaster and summoned help. The bodies of the men were quickly un covered and removed to their homos in Swamjitown, Joddo. Mike Raymuck was aged 85 years and is survived by his wife and four children. Peter Chepa was aged 30 years and is survived by his and three children. The funerals will take place at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. Raymuck was a member of St. Peter and Paul's Lutheran congregation and services will be conducted at the church by Rev. Carl Houser, followed by inter ment at Prcoland cemetery. Chepa was a member of St. Mary's Greek congregation and services will be held at the Greek church. Tho inter ment will bo made at the Greek cemo tery. Roth men were members of tlio United Mine Workers of America. Meeting of Council. The borough council met in regular session Monday evening with Messrs.
