KILLED IN THE MINE,
TWO Hundred Sticks OF Dynamite
Explode in Shaft,

At No. Stockton mine. Hazleton, Penn.
200 sticks Of dynamite exploded among a
gang OF men who were preparing TO 20 to
their days work. Eight men were killed. The
| explosion occurred about 7 clock a. m. The
men were descending the slope at the time
| ana distributing themselves in the various
| chambers and gangway where they are en-
| pioyed at the bottom OF the slope. Charles
| Donneil, who looked after the explosives
ana supplies for the leaders and other com
pany Workmen. was busy dealing out dyna-
mite ana caps to the leaders and the starters
tne latter came to him In groups. and be-
tween eight and ten Of these workmen were
standing about him at the time Of the ex-
plosion.
Inc place was filled with dust and hyinc
DEBRIS. All lights were extinguished. The
men were demoralized for the time and did
not know which way to turn. Although the
explosion took place 800 yards below the sur
lace the shock was felt over an area of sur
face extending to the lumber yard three
mules south and In the adjoining mine, No. 9
Stockton.
From the latter mine a rescuing party
rushed through subterranean passaeeways
TO No. 8. As these men approached the boz
tom OF the slope where the accident occurred
tney came up with the drivers and other
laoorers groping about in the darkness.
fusnlng toward the bottom they found huge
timpers twisted and torn and scattered
about. Not one Of the bodies of the victims
was In a condition to permit identity.
IL was 10 o'clock before the worEmen got
the remains of the victims sufficiently TO-
gether to arrange for hoistlng them to the
surface: Eight rough boxes were taken
down the slope. From the mouth of the
opening high trestle work extends to the
tower OF the breaker. As the remains
were too mutilated tor the friends of
the men to recognize them, 1t was
decided to hoist the boxes to the top
OF the tower and carry them from thers
to the railroad, thus keeping them
away from the crowd. It was II o'clock
before the first box was hoisted up. The
other followed quickly, and as they emerged
from the darkness loud wall from the
throng OF relatives arose. The scene was
heartrending in the extreme. It was re-
peatsd until the last ofthe'victims was taken
out at noon. The 1ndertakers took charge
c. the bodies.
Charles O'Donnell was the only one who
could be recognized. To learn the names OF
the others it was necessary to find the liv.
ing men, as 1t was not known how many
stood around the supply house when the ex.
plosion occurred.
The names OF the victims, as furnished by
the mine foreman. are. Charles O'Donnell,

OXFORD WINS.
Yale Athletes Defeated for the
Worlds College Championship.

Yale Athletes DeIeaCed 10r the
Worlds College Championship.
Yale made splendid fight against adverse
circumstances In the International collegiate
sports at West Kensington, England, but
she failed to win. Oxford was the winner
of five out Of the nine events, but she Is
not making excuses for the defeated to
say that they were peculiarly unfortunate.
In the first place it was English, not
American weather. Instead OF hot sunshine
In which American athletes do their best
work, 1t was cold, drizzly afternoon. with
q heavy rain only half an hour before the
games began. This caused Yale to lose
the nine events on the pro-
gramme, none Of her men being able to equal
the work which they did in practice. A pad
fall which occurred to Cady in the hurdle
race caused him to lose that event when lead.
ing gat the eighth hurdle, and also interfered
with his chances in the high jump which
followed.
1t is probable that no event in the history
OF English athletics Of recent years has at
tracted half the interest which centred in
these events. The champion university team
Of England was to meet the champion uni
yersity team of America, and this was
sufficient to cause the widest enthusiasm
among all admirers Of athletic sports, and
among sportsnen generally throughout the
British Isles. Over $1,000 spectators were
present. The results were rs follows:
