Mine Accident.

Mine Accident.
About two O'Clock Saturday afternoon
terrible accident occurred at Jonas Metzger's
ore bed, near Ruchsville, Lehigh county.
The men were at work in the shaft, nd
suddenly, without warning, the timber
crushed down upon them, followed by
mass Of earth and ore, burying two of the
men in the ground aud imprisoning three
in the trench behind the barrier. The mass
of timber and earth struck William Metz.
ger on the head, completely covering him,
nothing being VISIBLE but the tips of his
fingers. A force of men were Immediately
put to work digging him out, but this was
found TO be difficult mater, as the earth
fell in as fast as removed. He is badly hurt
though IL is though not fatally. 1t was no
ticed that the men inside the shaft were
still alive. One Of the men, named John
Hillard, succeeded in digging his way out,
but the passage Of his exit was Immediately
closed again by the falling in of additional
ore and other debris. His injuries are not
serious. Elias Hunsberger is supposed to be
crushed TO death,as no trace Of him has been
discovered up to late hour Saturday even
ing. A large force oI employees of the Thorn
as Iron Company, together with number
of other workmen, are busily engaged in
rescuing those remaining in the shaft with
the hope of finding them still alive, but the
general belief is that they are already dead,
being crushed by the terrible weight Of ore,
etc. The spot is surrounded by hundreds
of people from surrounding towns aud excit-
ed and terror-stricken friends making in
quiries regarding the victims of the disaster.
LATER.-The body of Eli Hunsberger was
recovered Monday. The coroner's jury has
returned a verdict that death was caused by
an accident, and exonerates all persons from
blame.

The Cave-in at Yilkssharrs.


There was rulnOr ailuat carly Monday
morning that another cave in had occurred
at the Give Points," Wilkesharre, but a
subsequent examination proved that such
was not the case. The report arose from the
TACT that the men aud mules employed in
the working part of the mine were COM
PEELED to come out owing to the rapid ac
emulation Of gas, which is being forced in
from the sunken portion. All efforts to
reach that portion of the eolliery which has
settled have proved fruitless, aud the party
of miners who went in for the purpose of
making an examination as to the future
possibilities, have been compelled to abandon
their design. 1t is now thought that the
earth below has settled probably as far as il
will, and the only danger that now threat.
Ems the town is that which may arise from
he sinking Of the furnace when the frost
leaves il. Many persons were busly en-
gaged Monday in repairing aud propping
their houses which were 20 shaken up Iy
the cave in.
The schools in the cave.n district are still
closed, aud in all nr"Lahiily will remain
so until April. 1t is now thought that large
quantities Of gas that have gathered in diff
ierent parts Of the old mine will be forced
to the surface by the rushing waters of the
swollen mountain torrents that are pouring
into the mine. Those occupying houses are
in continual dread of the gas being igniied
from the surface, thereby causing terrible
explosion in the lower depths of the mine,
which win iud vent Throughout the loose
surface Mining engineers say that in case
ofan explosion the gas will find egress
through the old openings at the foot OF tne
mountain. Tde inhabitants are leaving aS
fast as they eau hnd dwellings IN other parts
OF the city.

Two Mysterious Murders in Luzerne Co.

The people OF Nanticoke, one of the Dor.
oughs of LuEerne county are greatly excited
over the discovery of two murders which
have just come TO light. The first is that
of the tragic death oi James W. McFarlane,
boss carpenter and formerly Superin,end-
ent of No. 3 breaker of the Susquehanna
Coal Company. 1t appears that ON We'd
noslay night of last week, while returning
to his boarding house, McFarlane was as.
sauted on the head with AN iron instru
ment in the hands Of a person or persons at
present unknown. The motive Of the dead.
ly assault appears to have been inspired by
an intimacy which had existed for some
time between McFarlane and the wife OF
Samuel Clauser, a night.dispatcher on the
Laekawannai and Bloomsburg Railroad.
McFarlane, for awhile, boarded with Claus
er, when the latter began to suspect that all
was not right between. his wife and McFar,
lane and q separation was the result. Hus-
band and wife continued apart for some
time, but short time.ogo they made up
again and once more'lived as man and wife.
McFarlane was also pardoned by the hus-
band and peace reigned supreme, but it did
not last long
McFarlane was caught in criminal act
again. On Thursday night he received his
death bow, but by whom isSnot known.
| Clauser SAYS that when he returned home
that night he found McFarlane in bed with
the wounds upon him. The dying man
said he knew who dealt the fatal blow, but
that he would not tell suntl the next morn
! ing. Afterward he died without revealing
the impoi taut facts. McFarlaue was a mar.
ried man, and resided in Plymouth
William Fink, also of Nanticoke. who
mystcriously disappeared from his home one
day during the month Of July last, was
found Friday bya gang Of men who were
] cleaning out the abandoned McFarane shaf
it being intended to resume work there
They found the body of the man upon
pumping platform two hundred feet below
the surface The remains were greatly de
composed. He had undoubtedly been mur.
dered. 1t is thought by many that he wal
killed by Molly Maguires, and an investi
gaiion is to be made.
The case Of James N. McFarlane, the ex
Mine Superintendent of Nanticoke who wal
murdered on Thursday night OF last week
is still a mystery. At the inquest Saturday
night Mrs. Clauser, in whose house MrFar
lane was found with his head split open
testified that he slept in the house but, sh,
was not aware as to how he met his death
The husband and son testified likewise.

who claims that his company is short Of

turn to its provisions and mine only three
