DISOBEYED HIS
POSITIVE ORDER
Careless Engineer at a Coal
Mine Responsible for
Death of Ten Men.
CARS CRASHED DOWN SHAFT
And Fell Upon a Carriage With Ten
Men- Seven of Whom Were
Killed and Three Injured.
By Associated Press.
Wilkesbarrc, Pa., Nov. s—Seven5 —Seven men
were killed and three fatally injure 1 at
the Exeter colliery on the Lehigh Valley
Coal Company at West Pittston today.
The accident was due alleged to the care
hiashess of Engineer David Price, who dis
obeyed positive orders and caused three
cars to run into the top of the shaft.
These cars were loaded and weighing
eb ven tons, fell down 360 foot of shaft ami
crashed with frightful force upon a car
riage carrying ten'men, sevt n seven were
almost instantly killed. They are: Michael
Smith. 35. married; Andrew, Tinko, 40,
married; 'Michael Podesabanny, 25. un
married: Michael Brazuke, 35, unmarried;
Jos. Unlock, 25. ’married: Michael Was
lowski, 15. unmarried; Jots. Andrew, 30,
unmarried.
The accident occurred at 0:30 o'clock as
the men were gomg to work and were be
ing sent down the shaft in parties of ten.
At the same time Engineer Price, In
charge of the little donkey engine was
shifting loaded cars from the new Redash
shaft several hundred yards away to the
Exeter breaker. This track approaches the
head as Exeter shaft and at a distance of
thirty feet from it curves gently to the
right and around the ehaft to the breaker.
\t that t>oin>t where this track commenced
turve was a switch and thirty feet of
track leading to the head of the shaft used
for storing the crippled cars. Close to the
head of the shaft it is closed 'by head
blocks.
•Price's orders -were to approach the
breaker with the engine at the head of the
train. A few days ago he was caught
pushing the cars and was threatened with
discharge for disobeying orders. Today he
did the same thing.
The train was going at a good speed
when instead of curving around the shaft
the ears dashed into the switch, which -was
open. •
The cars struck the head block and
smashed it and three of them toppled
down the shaft.
AT CAMP ROE
Doings of the Day at the Camy —Men Still
Being Examined.
The men have been kept busy for the
past two days arranging their tents for
the cold weather. Two tents are placed to
gether which makes them in the form of a
shack. It gives the soldiers more protec
tion and it Is more comfortable.
The work of examination is still going
on and many of the men will have to be
sent to the hospital to get well before they
will be mustered out. Tent stoves -have
been provided and the tents can now 'be
kept warm.
All of the soldiers have come to the con
clusion that they will not be mustered out
before the 16th. at least, as it will take
fully that long to get things in shape. The
provost guard is still patrolling the city
and all men who are in any iway disorderly
are. arrested. The guard huose at the
camp now has several prisoners and some
of them may be tried by courtmartial.
The hospital tent is almost empty at
present and very few imen are sick. The
paymaster has been notified of the amounts
to be paid out and he will probably arrive
here in a few days.
HIS KINGSHIP
Os Samoa Seems to Be in a
Ricketty Predicament.
By Associated Press.
Vancouver, B. C., Nov. s.—News from
Samoa is not very quieting. The board of
control during the present interregnum
hadseveral meetings and then spit up. The
consuls of Germany, the United States and
England, and the two treaty officials, did
not work harmoniously’ together.
Wliat this board really intended to do
has never been ascertained, but it is be
lieved that the president desired to take
charge of the Samoan government and to
run the whole thing himself, with occa
sional help from the chief justice.
When the steamer Aerangi left Australia
it was learned That the relationship be
tween the British consul and President
R.-iff el was strained.
The president was inclined to give in.
but he finds if difficult to extricate him
self from differences in which he has be
come involved by hts own acts. Mean
while Mataafa was noting when the mail
left that some of the people, urged on by
a section «y. foreigners, are advocating the
abolishment »<t she kingship. There are
others who are desirous of making the ex
periment of runring the country without a
king for six or twelve months. This plan
may reeejye favorable from the chief jusr
tjee, who actually has full power in the
matter. The treaty in section 6of article
3 confers upon him the duty of settling toe
kingship.
The country is so far quiet, but chi.
state is owing entirely to the presence of
a warship.
Engineer Chambers. from America, has
arrived at Apia to superintend the work of
the American government for building a
coaling station at Pago Bay. The con
templated operations of the United States
are viewed with dislike by the German
authorities, and it is expected that a pro
test will be made by them against it. The
United States consul will, however, in
struct the engineers to proceed w 4 th the
work.

TROUBLED SEAS
Successful Experiment Tried
by Captain of North Ger
man Llovd Vessel.
SOAPSUDS AS 0 INGREDIENT
01 the Composition that Caused the
Seas to Subside and Will Prove
of Great Value in Future.
By /Associated Press.
INcw York, Nov. s.—Captain H. Carthe
mann. of the North German Lloyd steam
ship Oldenburg, has just made public the
results of a series of experiments with oil
and soap suds in quieting the sea in the
vicinity of the ehip during a storm.
(He began his experiments in December,
1897, on a voyage from Baltimore to Bre
men, and used vegetable or whale oil to
great advantage. He allowed the oil to
drop from a series of buckets arranged in
the bow of the ship. Thd wind at the time
was west-northwest, with a very rough
sea. The speed of the ship was about
twelve and a half knots, the temperature
of the air was forty-eight degrees fahren
heit and of the sea fifty-seven degrees.
Presently the waves, which had been
breaking over the snip, became remarka
bly quiet and the sea within several hun
dred yards of the ship became calm. The
captain used about two and one haif
pounds of oil in an hour during the ex
periment. He was very much gratified at
the result.
In January, 1898, Captain Gathemann
began trying soap suds. The mixture con
sisted of 15 pounds of genese soap and 40
pound.-, of tweet water and as in the case
of the oil, buckets were used from wWt-h
the soap suds dripped into the ocean. The
wind was north by west, the speed of the
ship over twelve knots and the tempera
ture of the air and sea about the same as
in the experiment with the oil. The soap
suds.could be plainly seen floating on the
surface of the water until a wave struck
them and.then they quickly disapeared.
No quieting effect was noticeable on the
sea, however, and when the buckets were
empty they ewre quickly filled with oil
and prsently the sea again became calm.
Captain Gathemann reports that he has
experimented with soap suds several times
during his voyages this year, but never
find 'them efficacious and also resorted to
. oil with good results.

Havana, Nov. s—An appeal signed by a

of staff who in March of last year were
captured by the Spanish General Her
nandez De ValescO while operating with
his column in the hills about (Cabezades
de Rio -Hondo.
The local papers say that the American
commissioners have forwarded the peti
tion to Captain General ‘Blanco but it is
safe to assume that they have taken no
steps in the matter as it'would be entirely
■outside their province. General Butler
called at the palace and had an interview
with General Blanco but the American
■commissioner says the visit was entirely
'unofficial.
Rear Admiral Sampson and his party
have returned on the Scorpion from a
pleasure trip to Mariel.

from the transport Panama including rep
resentative John Dalzell and former Con
gressman at large Huff also being passen
gers by the Vigilancia.
The Spanish officials have announced a
sale of government tugs and launches.
The only sale effected was of a launch
which went for $3,500. In the other cases
the bids fell below the two-thirds esti
mated value and the articles were not
sold.
The official records from Matanzas for
the month of October give the births there

SENATOR BACON.
Closed His Campaigning Work
in the Eleventh District
at Fitzgerald.
Senator Bacon returned this morning
from the Eleventh district, where he has
been campaigning during the past week.
He made his closing speech of the cam
paign yesterday at Fitzgerald to a large
audience composed mainly of members of
the Grand >Army of the Republic.
Speaking of the senator’s visit and ad
dress the Evening Courier of Fitzgerald
says:
“Senator A. O. Bacon arrived in the city
last evening from Waycross .where he
spoke on Brantley day. He was met at the
train by Major Henry Symons and a com
mittee and escorted to his hotel. Later he
met many of our citizens and had a pleas
ant word for all. This morning he h’eld an
formal reception in the office of Major
Symons. Later he was given a drive over
the city and through the five acre tracts.
He was much impressed with, the growth
and importance of the Colony and city.
His visit to the Grant-Lee Hotel showed
hint whqt had been done by our citizens.
“At 2:30 o’clock he was escorted to the
Opera house by the committee and made
one of his telling speeches for Georgia and
good government. He impressed the colony
soldier vote with the importance’of stand
ing together for the good of white su
premacy and beter government. He paid
his respects to those who came from the
West and North and settled in our midst.
, His remarks were highly appreciated and
he has cemented the friendship already
existing for Congressman Brantley. The
senate'- stands ready at any time to do all
in his power to aid this magic city in
every way. and predicts for us a bright
future. His speech was well received by
the- large audience present and all were
pleased to listen to one who stands so high
in our nations council. The speech will
do. much to cojise the white people to vote
for Brantley, as the colonists under no
circumstances will take any chances on a
fusion Congressman. Senator Bacon will
leave this afternoon at 5 o'clock, for hrs
home in Macon, btit he may feel assured
that Fitzgerald appreciates his coming
and will be pleased to welcome him at any
time in the future he may be able to pay

STUART" ROBSON.
Engagement in ‘‘The Med
dler” to Begin [at the
Academv Tonight,
The event in local theatrical circles for
the present week is undoubtedly the first
production at the Academy of Music to
night of Augustus Thomas’ much heralded
comic comedy, “The Meddler,” which is to
be presented at that play house by Stuart
Robson and an assisting company of play
ers whose reputation in the theatrical fir
mament are beyond cavil-
“The Meddler”, is said to be written in
Mr. Thomas’ most facetious vein and to
be interspersed with many witty and epi
grammatical lines, which, while bearing
the stamp of the French scholl, do not,
as its so often the case with these import
ed manuscripts, offend the ear by their
delivery.
One c. Mr. Robson's New York critics,
in reviewing the production of “The Med
dler” in that city is responsible for the
assertion that the part of Francis Eli, the
meddler, which Mr. Robson assumes in
the comedy, “was built to fit Mm like a
moist bathing suit.” Be that as it may,
the fact remains that Stuart Robson and
“The Meddler” haye beep received with
unstinted acclaim wherever this popular
star and that funny play have been intro
duced during- the current sesaon.

here is completed.
The commission met Monday in the

Chickamauga hospitals In July last. He

as possible by the use of mosquito netting.
