Suddenly flash was seen, Il report heard

An inquest was held, and the jury found

MINERS IN DANGER.
Imprisoned by a Fall of Coal, but Rescued
by Hard Work.

by Hard Work.
ASHLAND Pa, March Five men were
imprisoned in the Boston Run mine at this
place as the result Of Il fall of coal. There
was every reason to believe that the men
would soon BE- released, as it was known
they were alive and probably unhurt. The
mine is operated by the Reading Coal and
Iron company, and at the time of the acct
dent there were six men at work in it.
They We're Joseph and John Meeckes, twin
brothers; Charles Mahon, Louis White,
Edward Mengel, James Kramer and Will
liam Ervipe.
They were in one of the upper lifts when
large fall of crop and surface coal took
place, filling the gangway and choking it
up completely, thus cutting off all means
of escape for the imprisoned men. As soon
as the accident was discovered Superin-
tendent Neith and a squad Of rescuers en-
tered the mine and began the work of eN-
Treating the men from their perilous posi-
ton. They found but little .rouble in
making good Roadway, asthe fall was loose
and very light. Soon t1ey heard tappings
on the other side of the wall ~pon which
they were working, and Il few minutes
later their shouts were answered by faint
but cheerful cries from the imprisoned
miners.
The news was conveyed to the vast crowd
that had collected at the entrance of the
mine, and a great shout went up when it
become known that he poor fellows were
at least alive and that a repetition of the
Wilkesbarre horror was not probable Two
hours later the rescuers came upon peck
ct in which they found the Meeckes broth
ers safe and sound without a scratch of any
kind.
From them they learned that the other
men were about so yards further in the
mine, having run in that direction when
the fall came. The men who had been in
such deadly peril turned with will, after
they had assured their wives and friends
that they were indeed unhurt, and aided in
the work of releasing their companions in
misfortune from their unpleasant predica-
ment

MISCREANTS AT LARGE.
House Shattered by a Bomb In
Lancaster, Pa.
MOTIVE FOR THE DEED UNKNOWN.
Man Was Seen to Throw q Gaspipe Petard
the Porch and Then Ruu-ExpIosion
Fortunately Was Not neutrality-suspicious.
Attempt at Arson In Camden, n. j.

LANCASTER, Pa, March Am attempt
was made to blow up the private residence
of DIR. j. E. Baker, one of the most promi-
nent physicians of this city. A dynamite
bomb was the weapon used. A portion of
the porch surrounding the residence was
torn away, and the ironifence surrounding
it was bent and twisted. The heavy plate
glass windows were shat tered, while with
in the parlor the pictures were destroyed
and other damage wrought.
The family was asleep, and the sleepers
were almost literally shaken out of their
beds by the force of the explosion.
The house is located on North Lime
street, in one of the quietest residence sec
tions of the city. The residence of Attor-
ney General Hensel is located less than
half block away, and the police station is
also not far distant. The whole neighbor-
hood was terribly alarmed by the eXplo-
sion, and the street was soon thronged
with excited citizens
Saw the Man Throw 1t.
Luther S. Hassler, clerk in the inter
nal revenue office, who was on his way
home, says he saw a man pass under the
gas light opposite DIR. Bakers residence
and moment later noticed that the light
had been extinguished. He saw the man
stop at the porch and strike match, as if
the occurrence and watched the man as he
disappeared down an alley adjoining DR..
Bakers residence.
AS Mr.. Hassler approached the house he
was startled by flash, followed instantly
by a terrific defamation. Something struck
him in the leg, from which it tore Il por-
ton of the skin. This was undoubtedly IL
small piece of the exploded bomb. An
other fragment was hurled against the
residence of DIR. Frank Muhlemburg, liv-
ing over block away. This was found to
be small piece of iron gaspipe, with a
double screw attached. Other houses in
the neighborhood were rudely shaken, and
the inmates hurried into the street, think
ing there had been an earthquake.
1t is evident that the miscreant who at
tempted this deed was either not familiar
with explosives or did not take time to
properly place the petard. He must have
thrown it upon the porch after lighting
the fuse Had it been placed underneath
the porch, it would have demolished the
building. This is the third dynamite out
tage attempted in this city within the past
month, but this incident is by far the most
serious in its results. No possible motive
for the deed can be advanced, aud the po-
lice attribute it to a mere tiendish desire to
mi lure the sleeping occupants of the house

20 burn the residence OF Edward Hayden,
at Fifth and Mount Vernon streets, were
made by unknown parties. Mrs. Hayden
noticed smell of coal oil. When she
opened the front door, she found the wood
work about the door blazing fiercely. The
other members of the family were aroused
and the flames eXtinguished. The door
and steps had been saturated with oil be-
fore the match was applied. While the
members of the family were gathered in

headway. A watch hss been set upon the
