when 1t seemed impossible to continc
the flames, famed by brisk wind, u
the Wooden Ware plant, a heavy rain
set in and the wind died completely out.
So that with the twenty odd streams
thrown by the several steamers and

The list of buildings belonging to the
Wooden Ware Company totally de
stroyed included four patent hot-alr dry
houses, keg factory, machine shop, car
pentcr shop and the saw mill, in hich
latter building the fire originated, it Is
SAID by employees. from a hot box. al
though the mill had been shut down at
6 P NJ This theory Of the origin of the
fire Is based upon the fact that during
tie afternoon considerable trouble had
been experienced by Il hot box which
nccessitated several shut downs. The
fire worked very rapidly, everything
about being of Il combustiblc nature, and
the night watchman saws that ten MN
utes previous Ia the time that the flames
appeared to envelope the entire saw

cover the first indication of anything

prsing the plant was a net work OF

worst barrier to fight the spread of the
flames, v hich wound serpcnl-like from

In the rear there were also numerous
side-tr;lcks on hich several box ears
were ready to hc unloadcd. Two oi
these were consumed before a switch
engine could haul them away, and this
morning after the fire the rails are
bent and twisted in every conceivable
shape.
As to the total loss, il will be impos-
sible 10 correctly determine il for Il day
or more, though the estimate made last
night. of from $4,000 to Sl23,00o, is
pretty nearly right. Probably it will
figure up ka tritlc under Sl00,noo. The
company carries large insurance, but
the exact amount placed upon the build
ings and stock consumed cannot be as
ccrtaned, though it is stated that it will
fall considerably ehort Of the total loss.

THIRTY-FOUR DEAD.
Fire-DamP Explosion in a Pennsylvania

Wine.
DUNBAR. Pa, June l6.-This morning
Al ll.lo, a sulleu, shivering roar shook
the lowly miners dwellings on Hill
Farm, IN Eayettc County, near this
place. In moment the fearful news
had spread that the Hill Farm mines,
owned by Philadelphia parties. had ex-
ploded. The lnW-hroWcd hill from
which the slope entered shook from
mouth 10 pit. and the score Of
miners houses lining the fatal hill
shook for a moment, and then poured
out their frcuZlcd inmates by the hum
dreds. \ rush WAS made 10 the mouth
OF the pit, but iugrcss was impossible.
as smoke IN dense volumes was issuing
forth. fitv-two miners had gone to
work this morning.an were in the
slope when the explosion occurred. OF
these titty-two, eighteen were in the
left heading, and thirty-tour in the right
heading. The retreat of the latter was
cut Oft and no one escaped.
The miners from the left drift esCap-
ed. hlackcued and bruised. and they
tell a fearful story of the sight. lust
beyond the blazing coal on the right.
were Il score of terrified miners walled
in by flame no man could pass and
live. Clerk Cook headed Il party of loo,
who entered the main shaft.
and after cropping on for a
quarter of mile, were driven
back again and again hy the deadly
gas. only tn recover breath for mo
mcut and again plunge in Ia find at last
that the right drift was impenctrahic.
They finally came upon two bodies, and
they were brought to the opening of the
mine. The volunteer corps worked
steadily from noon until late 10 night,
with no result but the two dead, and
each trip hut brought Il deeper despair
to thos" above. and showed there was
no hope and no one alive below.
At midnight tonight the smoke and
gas from the right shaft poured up tine
main exit in an unhrokcn volume, and
after trials almost hevond human en-
durance the resculng party gave up all
hopes of ever recovering their com
rades' dead bodies from that entrance.
and turned their attention L. the Fer
Gu~on mine. one and half miles away,
hoping 10 penetrate from that mine, hut
the flames and smoke halkcd every
effort.
The universal and unwilling verdict
from the old miners about the shaft to-
night Is that the Cntombcd men have
either been Killed outright 10y the eN-
plo~Ion, or later hy suttotatlon. he
latter seems to hc more probable, at
least in part, as sounds We're heard
from the Cutombcd men rs late Il |
clock this afternoon.
The disaster Is the worst known in
the Couucil>yIlic region, the nearest ap-
proach being the lclscnrlng explosion
