On Wednesday evening, Mr.. Charles ID.
JamiSon, timer, of this town, in company
with plumber of Wilmington, entered the
large iron water tank at the county Jail, for
the purpose of painting the inside. Water
proof paint was used, and as it is dark
within the tank, tn" only entrance being a
man hole i'll the top, Il candle was taken IN
to give light. About the time one side of
the tank had been painted the gas emitted
by the paint exploded and took fire from

the side OF the vessel into n mass of flame
and filling the Interior with a Sutfucatiug

CONTENTION OF MINERS.
Deciding to Organize Under the Banner OF
the Knights of Labor

SCRANTON, May 27.-A convention Of
miners was held here to-day for the purpose Of
receiving reports from the various collieries in
the Wyoming and Lackawanna valleys as to the
way the workngmen regard the proposition
made at the Pittston convention short time
ago to abolish the name Of the Miners and La
borers' Society. and organize under the banner
Of the Knights Of Labor. The meeting was not
public. but those who are authorized to speak
for 1t say that it was thoroughly representative
between Carbonate and Nanticoke. covering
the entire anthracite works of this region.
Their reports were entirely favorable to the ac-
ton OF the Pittston conference. and 1t was as
serted that a number OF assemblies Of the
knights of Labor had already been organized.
The men generally favor an organization that
will include every trade and calling and are IA
yorably impressed with the strength shown by
the knights OF Labor in Pittsburgh Clearfleld.
and other industrial centres. The wages Ques-
ton was not considered to- day that being a
part OF the work Of the convention. 1t is un-
derstood now that the sense of the workingmen
has been obtained on the manner in which they
should organize; that the work OF the organ
