Shortly after noon on Tuesday, James
P. McNelis, of Ridge street, who is en-
ployed as pumpman in No. 2 slope,
Highland, met with a painful accident.
He was attending to his duties about
the pump when his right arm became
caught in the gearing and it was by the
merest chance that he was not drawn
bodily into the machinery and crushed
to death. Besides the arm being badly
larcerated, and the bone laid bare from
the hand to the elbow, he is slightly
injured otherwise.
John Heron, miner in No. slope,
Drifton, was il. red while at work yes
terday morning. He has breast in the
''low coal" and was caught under
piece of rock which fell from the roof
Owing to the short distance the rock fell
Mr.. Heron was not SO badly injured as
he might have been. His hip, however,
was dis!ocated and he was injured about
the body. He was conveyed to his resi-
dence at Front and Washington streets,
Freeland, where his hip was put in
place again, and he is resting easily at
present.

seems, are getting short of tools. One
evening this week, Mr.. Golick, resi-
dent of Railroad street, had his stable
entered by thieves and a complete set of
mining tools stolen. 1t is unnecessary
to state that this crime cannot be saddled
upon the landlord of the water tank and
his boarders.

Fire This Morning,

About half-past o'clock this morning
the services of the Freeland fire depart
ment were called for by the Upper Le-
high Coal Company. 1t was reported
that one of the breakers was on fire, but
this proved untrue. The fire was in a
coal washery, and the company feared
it would spread. Both hose carriages
were run to Upper Lehigh, but the blaze
was extinguished before much damage
was done. The report created much ex.
citement in town and the firemen re.
sponded to the call promptly.
