HE WAS A HERO.
Engineer Ward Saved the Lives Of FOrty-Six
Miners, and VIII Probably Lose His
Own as a Result of His Action.

WMKEsBARRE, PA, December 16.-The
heroism of Thomas Lloyd, the engineer OF
the Stevens colliery, at West Pittston,
saved the lives Of forty-six miners early
this morning. The engine-house caught
fire and the flames communicated to the
farmhouse, the destruction Of which meant
death TO the forty-six miners who were at
work in the mine five hundred feet below.
Lloyd ran to the telephone and told the
foreman at the bottom of the shaft
TO give the alarm. Notwithstanding the
foreman's haste it was more than twenty
minutes before all the men could be gath
cred together at the bottom OF the shaft,
preparatory to being hauled to the surface
In the meantime the engine house was
completely enveloped by fire. Three trips
were necessary before all the men were
brought to the surface Lloyd stuck to
his post, however, and was so badly
burned that he may die.

harder to explain. 90 the twentieth Of

over to him 10 the regular routine Of
business. Huntington charged the
check to the Union Stock Yards Ma
