TEN MINERS KILLED.
Fatal Lamp Explosion in an
Eastern Coal Mine.
FRIoHTFUL SCENE OF MISERY.
Only . Few Men at Work, or the Loss
OF Life would Have Been
Greater.

NANrIcoKE, Pa, Nov. Slate this after
noon q terrible explosion of gas occurred
in No. shaft of the Susquehanna mine.
The news quickly spread and large
crowd gathered at the scene, composed
principally of relatives and friends of the
miners employed in the mine. 1t was
coon learned that, it being Sunday, there
were but fourteen men at work in the
mines. OF this number six were instantly
killed and several others injured.
The killed are: William ]. Williams,
Henry r. Jones, William Jonathan, John
Arnott, Caleb Jething and Thomas Lloyd.
All except the last named leave families.
The critically injured are: David Powell,
David A. Smith, Thomas Thomas, Henry
Williams, Howell Jofnelski, and two Po~
landers, whose names were not ascer-
tanned.
The accident was caused by the ex-
plosion of safety lamp, the flames from
which ignited the gas. The mine, which
is one of the best operated by the Susque-
hanna Coal Company, is not seriously
damaged.
The scene about the mouth of the shaft
was heartrending. As soon as the news OF
the explosion was noised about the wives
ana children OF the imprisoned
men gathered about the opening.
The wives wept frantically. A search
ing party was organized as soon as
possible and went down to rescue their
fellow-workmen. They had a fearful
struggle with the dangerous after-damp.
and after almost losing themselves CROP
ing about in the dark, they came upon
the bodies of the victims. The force of
the explosion dashed to pieces several mine
cars standing on the track of the mine.
Some of the victims were beheaded and
others disemboweled. 1t was fearful spec
tacle. Four of the injured have died.
Their names are Howell Johanski, John
Maloney, David R. James and w. r. Will
Jams, jr. All but the latter leave families.
Four more are badly injured, at least one
of whom will die.

able varities. 1t Is an exceedingly prolific
sort, and is said to be both nutritious and
hardy.
The long yellow mangel wurzel Is a good
main crop sort, as an enormous quantity
can be grown on an acre with good cult
ure.
Another productive sort is the yellow
ovoid mangel wurzel. This is of distinct
shape, being intermediate between the
long and globe varieties. It is hardy and
vigorous.
Lanes improved imperial sugar is an
American variety of finer grain than the
ordinary beet, being good for table use as
we'll as cattle food.
Yellow globe is a sort too we'll known to
require special mention. 1t is we'll adapted
for growing in shallow soils. The long red
mangel wurZel produces roots of enormous
size, smooth ami regular in shape, with a
small top.
In order to be well preserved for gradual
consumption during the winter, Thorburn
advises that mangel wurzels be heaped to
a height of perhaps six feet on a dry, slop-
ing situation; cover at first with piece Of
canvas, and as the cold increases this
should be replaced by about six inches of
either salt hay, straw, seaweed, or even
cornstaks. Lest this covering be displaced
by the wind light layer of earth is neces-
sary. So soon as this surface coil becomes
frozen about six or eight inches more of
earth should be placed over the entire
heap. By following up this gradual pro-
cess of covering all danger of heating will
be obviated and the roots will keep in per-
feet order

residence, each parish ssluting as it
passed. Hundreds of transparencles were
borne by the marchers, bearing eulogistic
phrases. Zach parish was accompanied by
q band, and the effect of the 25.CCO torches
was something gorgeous. The procession
formed on Twelfth and Pine streets. and,
proceeding west on Pine. the ranks were
augmented by the falling into line of
