A placard was placed on his back saying: ‘‘Leave him hanging until 9 o’clock.” He doubtless would have met his fate last night, but the avengers of the dead woman wanted to be sure they had, the right man, and of this fact they are confident, because of addition al evidence obtained to-day. During the early evening Rich ardson was visited by Rev. Jones and several ladies, who prayed with him and warned him of his fate, but he did not seem to real ize it. I 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 i era! huudr«U th u«and dollais i r Ftrst farmer: —I nee they hsve t, a new wagon yard iu Rome. j Second farmer :—Yes 1 stopped i there last night and they treated i me in first-class style, and took . good care of all my goods.
