A placard was placed on his back
saying: ‘‘Leave him hanging until

have met his fate last night, but
the avengers of the dead woman
wanted to be sure they had, the

are confident, because of addition

A MINE DISASTER.
' ————— ■
Terrible and Fatal Explosion in
the Stopes.
Shamokin, Pa., Oct. 19.—While
carpenters were at work repairing
theiimleriu the Luke Fidler
shaft last night, a miners lamp, < n
the head of Irvin Buffington, ig-l
nited the wood aud a fierce tire en
sued.
The carpenters gave an alarm
aud seventy miners made a ra e
for life, as the mine was filling
with smoke, through a shaft, now
in course of construction, they
were hoisted to th ■ surface iu an
iron bucket, a great crowd cheer
ing as the men reached the mouth
of the pit.
During the reteue the flames
came up the air course aud burned
the fan house aud the fire depart
meut was called into service,
Superinteud'-ut Edward Morris
TVi.liams and Mine Inspector
Edward Brennan heroically euler
eu the buiuiug miue to seek for
Imt or Hxaaua teJ men.
At 5 o’clock this morning Irvin
Buffington was found dead. It i
kno.vn for a certainty that Geoi e
| Brown, a well-known local politi- ,
cian ; John Gierze, a laborer; An-1
thony Roberts, a driver boy, and
Michael Buzofskie, a laborer, are
still in the mine. Heroic efforts
are being made to reach them
without, however, much hope of
success.
It is the fiercest mine fire I nown
in the region. The colliery is ope.-
■ ated by the Mineral Mining and!
Railroad Company and gave em-;
ployment to over 800 men and
boys.
Buffington’s lamp started the
fire and his death was caused by
his efforts to notify workmen in
the mine of their danger. Every
. body was warned, and all started
, for safety, but the four named as
missing became confused and lost
their way iu the smoke. Buffing
ton gave out thirty feet from the
air shaft. There his body was
found.
Hus morning a consultation was
held by the officials and the advisa
bility of attempting to rescue the tn
, tombed men was discus, e I it was
decide*l, however, Dial the effort
would be worse than uselesE, as it
would certainly result in the ueath of
J some of the rescuing p *rty.
( Tb« Coal Run portion of the rid
( ler working is connected w; h be.
Gimlet and H.ckorj Bridge collmriee,
and in consequence they are not
working.
Oae thousand men were employ
ed at the Lukt Fidler colliery and
another thousand were given em
-1 ployin' nt at the Gimlet and Hickory
I Bridge collieries i’hese men will be
I idle for many mouths
The latent plan adopted by the * f
ficialn toqueuch Uie lire, is by pump
-1 ing all svaiiuble water into the
mine and thus crowning it out. Ibis,
f Towever, will take months to ac
I comphsh ii, and it is sale to say that
this valuable coal operation is practi—
oally ruined, entailing a loss of
