Terrible Explosion in a Coal Mine.
SHAMoKIN. Pa June 10


This afternoon an explosion occurred in
the Henry Clay Colliery, operated by the
Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron
co. near this place. The colliery had not
been inspected for some time but was al
ways considered safe. 1t has the capacity
for running 5000 tons of coal per month
and 60 men are employed in it. The in
side Boss went into an old working, and
the water level with it when the explosion
immediately followed. 1t was caused il
Is thought by the fire damp being fired
which communicated with the air WAYS
from the water levels into the slope below
where the men worked. The accident re-
suited from old gas exploding in q disus-
ed working. Up to 10 O'Clock p NJ ten
dead bodies had been taken out Many
men from the surrounding mines came TO
render assistance.
The excitement is intense. Wives and
children are rushing TO the scene of the
disaster finding their husbands and broth
ers either dead or gasping for breath.
"hlle Others were eagerly watching the
arrival of friends on the slope from below.
There were fifty men in the slope at the
TINE of the explosion, thirty-fiy Of whom

The HANCOCK COUNTY SAVINGS BANK
commenced business on the first day OF
May last, and nearly eight Thousand dol
lars have already been deposited. Nearly
all of this has been loaned.
Not a dollar is loaned excepting on the
written approval Of at least three of the
trustees, after carefully examining the Sc
curity. II secured by mortgage ofreal
estate, the Register Of Deeds is required To
examine the records, and give a certificate
as to the title. The property must be of
al least double the value of the sum secur-
ed, and all buildings mortgaged to the
bank must be insured, and the insurance
in case of loss paid to the bank.
In case L. 5. State, or town bonds are
deposited as collateral security, the rule
is to advance about three fourths Of the
amount. Thus every possible precaution
is taken to guard against loss.
In nearly every town In this County,
thousands of dollars have for years been
boarded. producing no interest for the
reason that there has been no institution
of the kind in this vicinity, where the
holders could safely deposit. BY putting
this money into circulation, not only the
depositors, but the whole community are
ben efitted.
