FATAL SULPHCRG4 GAS.
Terrible Resins OF an Explosion In a Col

iiefy.
A Pottsyille Ps.) special says An
explosion of sglphur-gas at the Otto
colliery at halfpast | o'clock THIS
morning instantly killed one boy, fatal
" injured three men, and severely
burned ten others. The names OF the
victims are as follows John Lynn,
driver-boy. aged seventeen years, IN
stsntly killed; Thomas Lynn. aged
twenty.seyen years, single. burned very
badly about hands and face; Robert
LYNN. aged twenty4four years, serious
" burned about head, breast, and
arms.
These three youSg men were sons OF
John Lynn, who was killed by fall OF
coal ten years ago. Thomas and Robert
are miners, and had only started on this
Job last evening.
John Graham, miner, thirty years OF
sge. has q wife and two children--seri-
ously burned about the body; John
FIew and his sons, Alexander and
Robert, all working on repairs. John
and Robert are not badly burned, but
Alexander. who has wife and two
children. was thrown by the explosion
against the side Of the gangway and
had several ribs broken. his back in
iured. and his head and body badly
burned. His injuries are expected to
prove fatal. James Wilson was burned
about the head. Joe Larkin, aged
eighteen ears. driyer-not fatally burn
ed /; Barney McGovern, miner, has a
wife and four children-probably fatal
ly burned. All the foregoing live at
Branchdale. The following live at For--
estville: Charles Macauley, forty-fve
years Of age and married-very badly
burned aud not expected to recover;
James Lynch, married-not serious
Francis Reilly, aged thirty years, mar
Iled--not serious.
TIE NINE.
otto colliery, the scene Of the diSas-
ter, is operated by the Philadelphia and
Reading Coal and Iron Company, and
is located ten miles west of POttSyille.
1t has given employment to four hun
bred men and boys for the last five
months, but little coal ! not over sixty
or seventy cars day-haye been
shipped. Most Of the men were en-
ployed on repairs and new work, such
as driving tunnels. Two Of these
have been finished. The colliery has
always been regarded as remarka-
bly, free from gas. In the new level
an airway has been under way, however,
and in this the coal was pretty free
and run, throwing off large quantities
Of sulphur. This rose to the upper or
red-ash level. where the gang of men
mentioned were at work. A quarter
of an hour beGore the explosion oc-
cured Patrick kilTain and his son came
ont of the upper gangway with naked
lights, and noticed no gas present. At
half-past o'clock, when the party
came out on truck, and John Lynn,
the driver, opened the door, a cloud of
gas burst upon their lights and ex-
ploded with shock that was felt in
every part Of the mine.

Next Sunday.

5e VIII Resume His Pulpit In Brooklyn
Next Sunday.
BRooKLYN, January Sit is expected
that the Rev. John Rey Thompson VIII
soon resume his preaching and pastoral
work in the Grace N. E. Church on Pros,
pects Heights. The generally received
ouinion is that Mr.. Thompson went to
Boston under the impression that ne was
going TO Baltimore to attend the Centennial
conference where he had expected to speak.
The entire quiet and rest he has had in the
week or more since his return has done him
preat good. His church will be only too
Glad to see him back in his accustomed
place. One of the members OF his church
gives the following account of the episode
when Mr.. Thompson preached such long
sermon last spring. Said he: "Mr. ThomP-
SON prayed for long time and then began
TO preach. After he had preached about an
hour, some of the people got up and went
out. That's right he said, you go out, but
I've got to preach this sermon through. 1
have never had chance to preach this ser
mon all out in this church, and am going
70 finish this ope.' So he went on, and
most of the members Of the church stayed.
He did not get through until halEpast ten.
When he was done he was way up; 1t was.
one of his bent efforts, and could have sat
there and heard him all night. But 1t was
strange now you come to look at 1t, and L
think he couldn't have been all right at the
time. He seems to be getting all right
again now.

that he will linger few months. The pos

suicide in Jail about daylight this morning
1t will be remembered that few days ago
an inquest of insanity was held in his case,
and he was declared not insane, although 1t
was evident that if he was Stimulating 1t he
was doing it to perfection. His actions OF
late led some physicians, the Sheriff and
many others to the belief that he was &C
