DEATH CAME SUDDENLY.
Fatal Result Of an Explosion in a
Coal Mine at Nanti-
coke, Pa
The Bursting Of a Safety Lamp
Caused the Wholesale
Slaughter.
But for the Fact That 1t Was Sunday the
Affair Might Have Boon Much
Worse.

NANTrcoKE, Pa, Nov Slate this after
noon horrible explosion OF gas occurred
in No. shaft Of the Susquehana Coal COM
pany. The news spread quickly and large
crowd gathered at the scene, composed
principally Of relatives and friends OF the
miners employed in the shaft. 1t was soon
learned that, it being Sunday, there were
but fourteen men at work in tho mines. OF
this number six were instantly killed and
several others were fatally injured, some Of
whom have since died.
The killed were VIM. j. Williams, Henry
Il. Jones, Howell Johanski, John Ma
loney, VIM. Jonathan. John Arnott, Ca
leb Jething and Thomas Lloyd. All except
the last named leave families. Those criti-
cally injured are David Powell. David A.
Smith, Thomas Thomas. Henry Williams,
and two Polanders, whose names cannot be
ascertained.
1t is learned that the accident Was caused
by the explosion Of safety lamp, the
flames from which ignited the gas. One
Of the men WAS trying to change the air
current when the lamp exploded.
The scene at the mouth of the shaft was
heartrending. As soon as the news of the
explosion was noised about the wives and
children of the imprisoned men gathered
about the opening. The wives wept franti-
caljy. A searching party was organized as
soon as possible and went down to the res
cue of their fellow workmen. They had a
fearful struggle with the dangerous after
danny, and after almost losing themselves
in cropping about in the dark, came upon
the bodies of the victims. The force of the
explosion dashed to pieces several mine
cars standing on tho track of the mine.
Some of the victims were beheaded and
others disemboweled. II was fearful
spectacle.
The mine, which is one of the best op-
Grated by the Susquehana Coal company,
was not seriously damaged.

Cry OF MEXICO, Nov. 8.-President Diaz
has given orders to the commanders troops
on tho northeast frontier that no more per-
sons be shot or punished without prsvi-
GUS trial by competent authorities. This

San Francisco II Excited.

SAN FRANc1sco, Nov. S.-The fact that
work at the navy yards at Brooklyn and
Mare island is being pushed on Sunday and
at night has created some excitement here.
The defences of San Francisco against an
attack from sea are not especially good.
There ia not single modern rifle here.
Fort Point, at the entrance to the Golden
Gate, has about fifty eight-inch muzzle-
loading rifles, converted from ten-inch
smooth bores. On Alcatraz there are eight
or nine more. There arc also n large
number of ten and tifteen-inch smooth
bores. 1t is believed these guns could delay
an enemy entering the bay for considera-
BILE length of time. Only the e1treme west
ern part of the city, where there are few
valuable buildings could be shelled without
coming in close range of these guns. The
harbor is we'll protected by torpedoes Of
which there are six or seven hundred in
position or ready to be placed. There are
no auto Mobile torpedoes in the city. Two
modern rifles have been promised to San
francisco next year and two year after.
