We noticed in TIE RECORD of the Sd
inst that the Arnold q Phinney well, on
the Mallory Farm, had been DESTROYED by
fire, end last evening at about four o'clock,
as the well had been thoroughly put TO
rights from tho late disaster, and the tools
were being withdrawn, another combustion
occurred, which was distinctly heard for
half milo around. Care had been taken
to put out the fire in the engine house be-
tore the tools were withdrawn, but US the
last tool lett the casing there came with it u
tremendous force of gus, followed by flow
forcing its way up the run, and notwith-
standing tho precautions taken in re ference
to fire about the well, the gas ignited from
the heat still in the furnace of the bOile:,
and stream OF fire soon spread over u
large territory: setting ire to everything
| within ite reach. 1t is remark oble fact
that tho gas gathered in such quantities in
the engine house, that it was literal,
blown to pieces, and the engine in un in
stani stood without covering. The seen,

meu are in the shaft, and have no commu-
nication, and with TO chance for air, as the
only way for getting air into the shaft was
through the main opening, and that was
filed with burning timbers, debris and

been sulfocated by smoke, or perished for
want OF air. The fire departments of Scran-
ton, Wikesbarre and Kingston are playing
streams down the shaft for the purpose of
quenching the fire there, so thstth rubbish
can be cleared out, and the condition OF tho
men ascertained. 1t will probably take

covered by-insurauce. All the physicians
Of this vicinity have been summoned to at
tend when the condition of the men is as
certained. The affair has cast gloom ur-
on the whole community, and business il
