A BURNING MINE.

The Fire In the Nelson Shaft at Shamos
KIN, Pa, Costs Ten Human Live-Ths
victims were Caught, Like Rats In q
Trap, by an Overpowering Volume OF
smoke-Distressing Scenes Around tho
Mouth of the Pit.
SHAMoKIN. Pa, April 2.-The fire
which occurred in the Nelson shaft
Yesterday morning and which resulted
In such terrible sacrifice of lives,
started about twenty feet from the bot
tom OF the slope, where is an oil-house
which is used by the men to change
their working clothes for others before
leaving the mines.
About ESQ o'clock Hungarian wa.
hlling his lamp and it exploded, ignit-
ing the oil about him. He rushed from
the oil'house and the flames spread with
rapidity. Attempts were made to sub
due the fire, but those who started to
90 so were compelled to flee for their
lives. They succeeded in reaching the
bottom of the shaft and were hauled to
the surface along with some beIated
miners who owe their lives to the fact
that they did not go to work at the
usual time.
The ten men who lost their lives
were at work in the Rel Ashe vein,
located nearly 100 feet above where the
fire broke out Through an air-way
from the lower vein to the Red Ashe
vein the smoke poured, suffocating the
unfortunates like rats in trap
Almost the entire town gathered in
the vicinity of the burning mine, from
the air passages of which great volumes
OF smoke were issuing. The scenes were
most distressing. The wives and chill
dren OF the imprisoned men uttered
agonlzing cries, and implored the men
In the crowd to rescue their loved ones.
About midday a rescuing party of
six brave men went down the shaft and
entered the burning vein. The smoke
was SO dense that they were compelled
to lie down on their stomachs and keep
wet sponge to their nostrils to avoid
suffocation. When they had proceeded
a short distance, they came across the
bodies OF two men locked in each 9TH
er's arms. They were the Brennan
brothers, James and Michael. Further
on the bodies of eight more were found,
making ten dead in all.
The bodies were removed to the sur
face with much difficulty. They were
taken to the blacksmith shop where
the most pathetic scenes were witness
ed. Three of the men were married
and had large families The others
were young men, averaging less than
20 years of age. Only two mules were
taken out alive Hive ,yera found Will,
their necks resting over each others
bodies. How they got together in this
position is mystery.

BROTHERHOOD ENGINEERS

Resolve to Aid Their Ann Arbor BretI,rer
~ Simply Resigning Their Positions
Rather than Haul Ann EArbor Freight,
and the Courts Can not Compel Them
to Work.
l TOLEDO, O., April 3. 3.-Meetings of en-
Tgineers and firemen were held in this
city yesterday, at which it was decided
to stand by the Ann Arbor strikers, no
matter what the decision of the court
expected to be handed down TODAY
may be. When asked what action
would be taken in case the decision is
adverse to the men, the leaders say that
Ann Arbor freight will not be touched
under any condition. The suggestion
that this could not be done with re-
spect to the law if the courts decide all
boycotts illegal, brought out the fol-
lowing statement:
"The injunction has been brought
to prevent Chief Arthur from order
ing the engineers on roads connecting
with the Ann Arbor to refuse to handle
freight and cars of that road because
there is strike among it's engineers
and firemen. We have no doubt that
the preliminary injunction granted by
Judge Kicks will be made perpetual.
That does not prevent the men quitting
work, does it. The fact is that Chief
Arthur has not the power to order a
boycott or strike anyway. The mem
bers of the brotherhood simply quit
without orders of anyone and it will
be task for the court to reach the
power which causes the boycotts by
means OF injunctions. We shall simply
resign from the service of our employees
when we are asked to do Ann Arbor
business"
Judge Kicks will open court at 9:ao
o'clock to-day and will give his deci-
sions in the cases for engineers who are
charged with contempt of his manda-
tory order issued on March II in Cleve-
land. He will also read the decision
reached by himself and Judge Taft on
the application of the perpetuation of
the order restraining Chief Arthur
from ordering boycott on the Ann
Arbor or roads handling Ann Arbor
freight
