THE SHAMOKIN FIRE.
No Trace Of the Missing Men Has Been
Found as Yet.

Found as Yet.
Special to EVENING HERALD.
SHAMoKIN, Oct. ll.-There is no material
change in the condition OF affairs at the
Luke Fidler colliery, as the fire is still rag
ing in the inside workings and it has been
impossible to make any further search for
the bodies of George Brown, Anthony
Bopert, and the two unknown Polish La
borers, who lost their lives there. The
Coal Run creek was turned into the mine
yesterday and the heavy rain storm OF
Tuesday night and yesterday aided ma
terially in the work OF drowning out the
inside workings to the height Of the water
level. The deadly afterdamp is now issu.
ing from the mine openings in consider
able quantities and puts the idea of fur
ther search for the bodies out of the ques-
ton. The heavy rain was very timely as it
has increased the quantity of water in the
Coal Run stream to three times its former
amount, and it is estimated that the Fid-
Ter mine can now be filled with water in
four, or five weeks at most instead of six
weeks the time it would have otherwise
taken.
Arrangements are also being made to
slush No 1, or inside shaft, where the
fire started. This will be accomplished
by filling it full of coal dirt and water
which will be washed into the shaft
through the two eight-inch rope holes
directly over this part of the workings.
When the shaft opening has been filled
with the culm, water will be kept rum ing
through it continually in order to ex-
tinguish the flames, and as the work pro-
| crosses it is hoped that other arrange
ments can be decided upon to eXtinguish
the flames at other points above the water
level should they communicate further.
1t is not safe to approach very close to
the mine openings at present as the deadly
afterdamp is coming out in large quanti-
| ties. Workmen are putting brattices in
place at the openings between the Fidler
and the Hickory Swamp and Colbert col
lieries and the latter operation resumed
work this morning. Although the Swamp
is still idle it will start mp again within
few days as when the bratticing has been
completed both Of these mines can work
with safety for the present.

Just before the explosion occurred the
water started to thump in boiler at one
end of the nest. Jacob Didium realized
that an explosion was about to take place
and warned his companions to run for
their lives.
Just then boiler went up. The men
had already started for the other end of
the boiler house. At the same time a
boiler at that end exploded and the men
were hemmed in. Several boilers then
exploded in rapid succession, as so many
fire crackers, and there was no means of
escape for the men in the house.
The boilers continued exploding until
only six were left in the centre of the
nest. They were displaced, but did not
explode.
All the boilers that went up took differ
ent courses. Some went towards the
breaker, others buried themselves into
the dirt banks and some sailed high in
the air and dropped on to the highway
several hundred yards from the scene of
| the explosion.
One of the boilers went through the
hoisting engine house, then through the
colliery office, smasbe a coal and rock

All the men who met their death were

terribly mutilated. Thomas Carr's body
was cut in three pieces.
The Henry Clay colliery is owned and
operated by the Philadelphia & Reading

done to the boiler house and breaker will

idle about six weeks. The cause of the
explosion is not known.
All coal from the Big Mountain and
Sterling collieries was sent by tunnel tC

YOUTHFUL SHOPLIFTERS.
Two Girls of Tender Years Sent Down
To Jail.


Frances Morris and Mary Yenskefski,
twelve-year old girls residing on Poplar
street, have been halted In their down
ward path and are now confined in the
Pottsville Jail pending a trial of their
case in court.
The girls belong to party who make
it a practice of going about the town
gathering cast-oGf articles. Yesterday
they strayed into the dry goods store ot
p. ]. Monaghan, on South Main street,
and, while Mary held an umbrella she
carried in such a manner as to shield hei
self and companion from view of the
clerks, Ftancis stole a bolt of ribbon from
a case
Miss Conuell, one of the clerks, became
suspicious and as the two girls were leav-
ing the store she halted them and required
them to remain until Policeman Dough-
erty arrived. A search brought forth the
ribbon and the girls were taken before
Justice Williams.
Owing to the youthfulness and sex of
the prisoners the parents were given an
opportunity to adjust the matter, but
they refused to do anything, not even de
string to procure bail, and the girls were
sent down to Pottsville last evening, the
authorities not considering the lookup a
proper place of confinement for them.
As soon as the arrest became known re-
ports were circulated that several mer-
chants have been missing goods for some
time past and Justice Williams issued
warrants for search of the girls homes.
Mary Yenskefshis house was the only
place in which a discovery was made.
Two pairs of slippers found there were
identified by Morgan, the Oak street shoe
dealer, He stated that one pair was
stolen on Tuesday and the other last
week.

RAILROAD AND MINE.
What is Going on in Both Branches of
Industry.

AnAuol
The Lehigh Valley Railroad Company
is receiving from 30 to 40 new hopper coal
cars weekly from the Lebanon Car Works.
Their great improvement over those in
use heretofore ia generally commented
upon. The truck frames are Of cast iron
instead Of wood, as formerly, and all are
fully equipped with air brakes and patent
couplers. The brakemen will in future
have a better chance of escaping with
their hands and arms while coupling.
The Reading Railroad Company is also
equipping its freight cars with the
patent couplers as rapidly as possible to
comply with the act of congress.
A new coal mine is soon to be opened at
West Hazleton. Some years ago the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company purchased
this tract of $4,000 acres, ostensibly for the
coal that might be under it. For many
months they prospected but could not lo-
cate enough coal to warrant the beginning
Of operations, their own men claiming
that there was but little or no coal to be
found. The firm of j. c. Hayden s. Co.
were then granted permission TO prospect
and practically obtained an option on the
land. For the past year several men have
been engaged in prospecting and sue
ceeded in locating the coal.

Barry O'Neil and his company appeared
in a play with the above title at Fergu-
sons theatre last night but failed to
inspire the audience with the enthusiasm
which such plays generally provoke. The
story of the play is similar to others seen
here. There are scheming land agents,
prosecuted lovers and always-on hand
friends of che victims, notably Con
Reilly, a character assumed by Mr..
O'Neil. The play lacks originality and
Mr.. O'Nei's character is not the rollick-
ing Irishman which promises to become a
popular character, although he sings some
catchy songs very we'll The company
is a weak one, aside from Miss Maud
