relied over tract of land, and the latter
was killed by the former. McFee fed the
country. and until a few davs ago nothing

the company will not exceed S1,500 or
50. 900. Reed is known to have made false
reports to the directors OF the condition of

Losses on the Lakes.

CHICAGO, Nov. 26.-The recent storms
have practically put stop to navigation
for the season of 1886. AS fast as the lum-
Der fleet arrives the vessels are being stripped
and sent into winter quarters in the various
slips. Few of the lower lake vessels will
leave port, and none but the propellers will
make any attempt to do so. The season
has been good one, as far as freights were
concerned. but the underwriters have suf-
fered heavily and the loss of human life
has been great. So far this season thirty
three vessels have been driven on shore or
foundered with more or less loss Of life
The schooners, l.. j. Conway, Belle Wal
bridge. South Haven, Pathfinder. Lucerne,
Florita. Helen. Menekaunee, Marinette,
Dickinson and Emerald. and the fine prO-
peller Robert Wallace are total losses, and
represent money value of nearly $500, 900
in vessel property. What the value of the
cargoeS was cannot be accurately computed,
but will probably be double that amount.
In all fortyone sailors lost their lives by
the wrecking of vessels on the lakes this
season.

Forty-two Men Taken From the Shaft

Condition.
OF the Victims at Least A Dozen
Undoubtedly Received Fatal
Injuries.
Great Losses on the Lakes During the
Recent GaleS--Steamer
Burned.

WILKEsBARRE, Pa, Nov. 26.-Shortly
after the miners and laborers entered the
Conyngham shaft this morning an explosion
of gas took place in a shanty at the foot of
the shaft, which was occupied by the fire
boss. No work was done yesterday. and
consequently larger quantity Of gas than
usual was in the shaft. The accident oc-
Cured at ten minutes past o'clock, while
the men were getting ready to go to work.
About fifty men, miners and laborerS, were
sitting at the foot of the shaft waiting for
the inside boss when the explosion took
place. The disaster was caused by COrne-
Illus Boyle, mine laborer, who stepped
into a wOrked-out chamber, which was
filled with gas, with lighted lamp upon
his hat. The explosion was the most
serious that has occurred in the anthracite
coal fields this year. 1t is now definitely
known that forty-two men are
SEVERELY BURNED
and others slightly injured. Twelve of the
men will die of their injuries. The scene
at the cOlliery while the injured men were
being taken from the shaft was terrible. A
crowd of several hundred persons had
gathered at the mouth of the shaft, among
them the wives, mothers and daughters OF
the injured nell. AS they were taken out
of the pit they were brought to the engine
house, and the women made desperate
efforts to gain entrance. Their entreatieS
and frantic demonstrations of grief were
heartrending, but they were sternly kept
outside the building while the blackened,
scOrched and bleeding victims of the dis
aster were wrapped in blankets and soaked
in oil. The floor of the engine house was
covered with writhing humanity so dis
Inquired by fire as to be unrecognizable. AS
fast as possible they were taken to the
hospital or to their homes. and so rapidly
was the work done that by 9 o'clock every
one had been taken out and carried away.
The recovery of the following is believed
TO BE HOPELESS:
Hugh Sweeny, aged 27, unmarried; Edward
Kerns, aged 29, laborer, unmarried; Richard
Coulter, aged 26, miner, wife and family;

rifle. After reaching his victim he found
him still alive, and he picked up the injured
mans shot gun and fired the contents of
one Of the barrels into his head. A large
party IS in pursuit. and if the desperate is
captured he will doubtless meet with a
