THE DEADLY GAS.


SHAMoKIN, PA. Aug 21.-Fire broke
I out yesterday in the Buck Ridge mine
slope, 800 feet from the surface. The
company bought the Greenback col
liery adjoining the workings of which
are higher than those of Buck Ridge
colliery. The intention was to bore a
hole thirty six feet In length from the
Greenback to Buck Ridge colliery and
turn the creek into both collieries and
by flooding them put out the fire. While
men were engaged in this work to-day
gas suddenly poured in from the burn
ing mine, and before they could escape
seven men fell victims to the deadly
gas. 1t is impossible to reach their
bodies, as both mines are full of gas and
the fire is increasing. Eleven mules
were also burned.

1t was presented by L. C. Young, of
that regiment, followed by touching

received, and many shed tears. Captain
Kidd, who was to receive the flag, was
so overcome by emotion that he could
