When these estimates had been adopted
Alderman Mccarthy offered a motion for a
recess for ten minute and it prevailed. The
Republican members then retired and held a
caucus over the election of a City Marshall,
but it was a harmonious meeting, and John
Graham received the nomination. When
the board ~reconvened Alderman Wltter
nominated Graham and Alderman Day re-
nominated Tim Long. Graham received all
of ~theRepublican votes and was declared
elected. City Marshall Long was the first to
congratulate him, n at his invitation
Graham occupied a seat within the railing.
Alderman DuSenbury offered a resolution
which prevailed, and was to the effect that
the Street and Water Commissioners adopt
an ordinance compelling the Consolidation
Traction Company to place tenders on the
ends of its cars, and to limit the speed of
the motors. soiaf
A resolution offered by Alderman Nc
Cookery asking the Street and Water Board
to put IN its annual estimate of a%ppropria-
tions, a sufficient sum to establish and main
tain two public baths, was referred to the
Committee on Baths.
Alderman McCoobery again came to the
front and offered another resolution to the
effect that it was the sense of the board that
the Street and Water Commissioner should
reduce and regulate the speed of steam and
electric railroads. Nj. MoCoobery said in
this connection that he desired TO give the
ANGELS who had been elected members of
the board something to do besides oustlng
veterans from office. He hoped the majority
would vote with him and not consign the
resolution to a committee as was done with
his first one of a similar character. On
motion of Alderman Mccarthy the resolu-
ton was tabled.
Philip Kaiser and Robert O'Bierne were
candidates for election by the Board as con-
stable, to fill the vacancy caused by the
failure of Godfrey Dilloway of the Fifth Dis
'trict, to qualify. Kaiser received the eight
Republican votes and was declared elected.
Alderman McCoobery made another at
tempt to make himself disagreeable to his
Republican fellow-alderman. He offered a
resolution to the effect that all applications
for licenses received by the Committee OF
Amusements, for the playing of musical in
struments in places where liquor is sold, be
first reported to the Beard for action there
on. The Alderman claimed that there were
so many dives and disreputable places in this
city, which should not be licensed, such as
the J. I. G.. and 1ivoli theatres.
Alderman Hill informed McCoobery that

MEN BLOWN TO BITS.
Terrible Explosion in Stockton
Colliery Nc. 8,
Miners Bodies So MutiIated as to
Be Beyond Recognition.
sticks Of Giant Powder Go or In
the Midst OF a Gang.
(By Associated Press)

HAZELTON. Pa, July T.-Another
mine disaster occurred at Stockton No.
8 to-day. which in detail Is the most
sho king which ever took place in the
Lehigh coal fields.
Two hundred sticks OF giant powder
exploded In the midst OF a gang OF
miners. and not enough of their bodies
was left intact to recognize them.
Stockton colliery is about one mile
east of this city, and Is operated by
Llnderman & Skeer. The mine is but
part OF series Of openings which that
Company operates In the valley. and Is
surrounded by hamlets in which the
miners live.
On account of Its isolation from the
main breaker, 1t has been customary to
send the dynamite and other explosives
in boxes to No. s, and distribute them
to the workmen at the bottom OF the
second shaft as they appear in the
morning on their way to work.
Charles O'Donnell had charge Of this
department. and 1t was his duty to
distribute to the Company miners and
starters the dynamite and caps.
The first men to go down into the shaft
! this morning were the drivers. and these
are tho only ones to return alive from
the opening. How many men or who
they were who followed In the next car
is not definitely known. and for this rea-
son the exact number Of men killed vii
not be known until list of the living Is
taken.
The drivers went into the stables to
harness their mules. and it was while
thus engaged that the explosion took
place. Charles Shugert says he saw
about q dozen men standing about
O'Donnell receiving the powder mo-
ment before the explosion took place.
The drivers we're hurled about promis-
cuously with fright, and. fearing an ex
plosion Of gas had taken place and a col
lapse ofthe entire mine was about tc
follow. they simply waited for death
1t was in this position they were found
by some miners from No. 2, who hast.
ened through the suteranean passage.
ways to No. s.
As soon as lights were seen the de-
moralized drivers hastened to the bot.
tom Of the shaft. There a terrible sigh
met their gaze. strewn over the twiste,
and torn timbers were fragments o.
human flesh and bones and limbs of the
unfortunate miners.
The men were too sick to attempt t.
remove the remains Of the dead. bu
rescuing parties were quickly formed, an,
headed by Supt. Roderick corps 0
miners descended into the mine.
1t is believed that at least dozen mel
were blown to pieces.
