cation for membership was received

this county, by a rush of water and
narrowly escaped with their lives. The
men were engaged in releasing the
water which had collected in the mine
holes from the surface. Contrary to
custom, however, they did not run to
the bottom of the slope but took refuge
in another breast inside the point where
they had prepared the blast When the
explosion took place the water rushed
to the bottom of the slope in great
body, filling the gangway to the roof.
The pumping machinery was put in
motion. The fireman on the surface
worked like beavers to keep up steam
and every effort made to keep the pump
running at its full capacity until they
had reduced the quantity of water in
the gangway sufficiently for an eXplOr-
ing party to gain an entrance. These
men returned shortly afterwards with
the information that miners were alive.
The pumping was kept up until today,
when the men were all safely taken out.

money have reached here and the funds

Democratic state senators and con,
gressmen in doubtful districts. Senator
Voohees wants the former; and the big
trusts want the latter They therefore
cooperate.
There are in the state something like
ten doubtful senatorial districts, most
of which are reliably Democratic in or,
dinary campaigns, and to the saving of
as many of these as possible the Demo,
Gratis will address themselves with all
the force and every device they can EN-
ploy
The Districts in which the
Democrats will concentrate their
efforts will be the Fifth, Seventh,
Eighth. Eleventh and Thirteenth,
in which they elected members of con-
gress two years ago, by pluralities
ranging from 700 to 1900. In all five or
these districts the Republicans have
made strong nominations, and three out
q the five they are confident of carry
Ing, with the prospect that they will
capture all of the five.

STRAUS MAY YET PULL OUT
He Has just Sent Very Important
Message to Senator Hill.
DOESN'T LIKE HIS TREATMENT
To Reporter MIR. Straus Promises Big
News Soon, bur Refuses to Specify
What That News Is-Other Gen.
eral Political News.
Special to the Scranton Tribune.

New York, Oct. Is.
t is an open question whether Ma
than Straus will stay on the Tammany
local ticket or not. Many think he will
not. This afternoon he sent an i'm
portant message to Senator Hill. Just
what 1t was is conjectural, but his
friends say 1t means business.
Mr.. Straus' private secretary is the
bearer of the message. He is now on
his way to Albany to meet Mr.. Hill. Mr.,
Straus will not say so, but 1t is supposed
that the candidate has notified Senator
Hill of his intention to withdraw if Mr..
Hill permits the use of his name on the
reform ticket.
Mr.. Straus was nervous and excited
as he said to a group of reporters at
his heaquarters: "As soon as 1 hear
from Senator Hill I will have news for
you-big news" Then, after a pause,
he added: "Mr Hill cannot consent to
head with his name a Republican
ticket. AS a Democrat he cannot do it.
] don't believe he will"
IL Straus should pull out, where would
Tammany be? This is the question that
Democrats are asking themselves very
anxiously tonight. And it's a pretty
sure guess that if Straus stays in the
fight, Hill will have to make big conces-
sions to him.
