The Slope of the Old Colorado
Colliery.
TWO MEN ARE MISSING
They We're Working Near tho Place
Where the Fire stArted-It is Believed
They Are Lost-A Mine Foreman Over
come by Gas.
Special to EvrNtNG HERALD.


LOST CREEK, May Packer colliery
No, 1, Colorado, is on fire and it is feared
that two men have lost their lives by it,
The men supposed to be dead or doomed
are August Loped, aged % years, and
Sober Pranzey, aged 80. Both men are
single and reside at Lost Creek No. 9.
Packer colliery No. is one of the oldest
operated by the Lehigh Valley Coal Com
pany. 1t is located at Colorado, on the
south side of the valley west of Shenan-
doah, and opposite Connors' patch. 1t
was no breaker, it's coal being conveyed
in cars by small locomotive power to
Packer colliery No. 5.
The collisry had been idle since last
Wednesday, but last night five men went
into the place to work, two going to one
part and three to another part Of the
mine.
At a quarter past one o'clock this morn
ing three of the men hurried out of the
mine and notified Inside Foreman Thomas
McKeone that there was a fire inside the
mine. The other two men failed to ap-
pear and up to three o'clock this afternoon
no trace of them had been secured.
The colliery officials fear the men have
been overcome by the gases caused by the
fire, vet they are making strenuous efforts
to get to the place where the unfortunates
are supposed to have been working. These
efforts have not been successful. 1t is
generally believed that had the men sur
vived they would have reached the sur
face ere this, by making their way up
through some old workings
The fire started in counter chute in
the Mammoth vein. The missing men
were supposed to be engaged in the coun-
ter gangway. Entrance to the mine is
made through a drift running east about
800 feet. AT this point the slope starts
| and is sunk north 260 feet to the Nam
moth vein. At the foot of the slope is
| the east and west gangway and in the
west, about 1900 feet from the foot of the
| slope, is the counter chute, where the fire
| started, and which is driven south,
| parallel with the slope, a distance of 100
| feet to the counter gangway, where the
| missing men are supposed to have been
| working.
The cause of the fire is not known, but
the officials lean toward the theory that
| it was started by a naked lamp, but they
do not venture to say who started it, 1t
| is intimated that it was the lamp of one
| of the missing men.
Inside Foreman McKeone attempted to
reach the counter chute at noon to-day
and dropped like q log, overcome by the
gases. He was speedily carried from the
mine, but remained unconscious for an
hour after reaching the surface. He has
| fully recovered.
Heber S. Thompson, Chief Engineer for
the Girard Estate; Fred. Il. Xerbey. Divi
sion Engineer; Col. d. p. Brown, Division
Superintendent; John Granger, Mine In
spector for the Girard Estate Inside For,
man McKeone, Outside Foreman A. d.
Brown, and Mine Foreman Morgan Price
of Lost Creek, are upon the scene this
afternoon dire citing a determined fight
against the fire and search for the miss
! ing men.

Rev, wooIstop's Lecture.

The illustrated lecture given in the
Welsh Baptist church last evening, for
the benefit of the English Baptist church,
was a success both from a financial and
Intellectual standpoint Rev. @. II.
Woolston the lecturer, is the popular
pastor of the East Baptist church of
Philadelphia, and is most fluent and
pleasant speaker The audience that
greeted him here last evening was large
and attentive one. The large and highly
colored views used by the lecturer are
descriptive of the many scenes and in
cidents witnessed by him during his ex-
tensive travels half way around the
globe, and are among the best used by
the famous lecturers in the country. The
audience was well pleased with the even
ing's entertainment and the church has
realized neat sum therefrom. At the
close OF the lecture the audience ten
dered Rev. Woolston a vote of thanks for
his very entertaining and instructive
lecture and vote of thanks was also
rendered the trustees of the Welsh Bap-
tist church for the use of the church.

SpeciAl to the HERALD

thNOraDl8 TO HIM.
Special to the HERALD.
TAMAQUA, May 1.-The Third LeRisla-
tive district convention was convened
here this morning for the purpose of
electing one delegate and one alternate
to the Republican state convention which
meets at Harrisburg on the 23d inst.
The convention was called to order by
County Chairman Whitehouse, and after
a few brief remarks by that gentleman
Secretary Losch read the call for the
meeting After the preliminaries had
been disposed of the committee selected
James Cashner, of SChuylkill township,
as permanent chairman.
The only nominees for state delegate
placed before the convention were Francis
Job, who represented the Robinson people,
and Frank kantner, who espOused the
cause of the Lyon men. Previous to the
ballot being taken an animated dis 3ussion
arose as to the question of representation.
The convention finally decided that the
representation be the same as used in the
last county convention. This was con
sidered as a Knockout for the Lyon
people.
The election then proceeded with the
vote, and Francis JoO of Tamaqua, was
elected by handsome majority over his
opponent, Frank Kantner, of Lofty. The
latter was then elected as alternate.
Resolutions favorable to Hastings for
Governor were passed.
