The new tube works at Shickshinny
are to be started mp the early part of
next month. The plant is a large one,
having all the latest facilities for turning
out first-class work rapidly, and it is
built so as to allow its capacity to be
largely increased at a comparatively
small additional expense.
The capital stock of the company is
$780, 900, almost all of which was taken
was taken by people of the town. 1t
will employ at its start about thirty
hands, which number will be increased
gradually to seventy or eighty.
The citizens of Shickshinny have
taken an active interest in the plant
from the start, knowing that it would be
valuable aid to the business of the
town. They did not wait for outside
capital to come and give them industries,
as Freeand is doing, but put in their
own money and will reap all the benefit
themselves.

The old Knight shaft of the Lehigh
Valley Coal Company in West Pittston,
where twenty-seven men and boys met
death by suffocation by the burning of a
breaker twenty-three years ago, was the
scene of an accident whereby two Le-
high Valley Company ofIicials-Colonel
A. G. Mason and William Wilson
were killed and Robert S. Mercur and
Joseph Burrel were badly injured. The
shaft has not been in active operation,
but was used as an airshaft.
On Thursday morning company of
officials entered the mine to prepare
plans for proposed Improvements. 1t
comprised Colonel Mason, division su-
perintendent William Wilson, of Pitts
ton, inside foreman at Exter coliery,
Robert S. Mercur, of Wilkes Barre, JOS
eph Burrel, of Bethlehem, instructor of
mine engineering in Lehigh university,
and Jacob Gates, foreman.
The descent was made in safety, the
work completed and the ascent then
started. Mason, Wilson, Mercur and
Burrell were on the platform of the cage
and Gates stood on the cross-b bar at the
stop. The cage had gone but twenty-five
feet or so when it caught in something.
The uprights pulled out of the cross-bar
at the top to which the rope was fastened
and the body of the carriage, with the
four men, went crashing to the
bottom. Superintendent Mason and In
side Foreman Wilson were so badly in
jured that they died short time after
being taken out of the mine. The escape
from death of Mercur and Burrell is con-
sidered wonderful. They were bruised
and shocked, but will recover.

From the White Haven Journal
a serious accident was narrowly
averted at Pond Creek junction on
Thursday morning. A red flag had been
put out to hold Lehigh Valley passenger
train, due here l1.20, on the Lehigh
Valley tracks at the junction, but the
engineer ran past the signal and upon
the frog connecting the tracks of the two
roads.
Engineer Knies, of the Central. had
orders to proceed up the branch with his
train, and reached the junction about the
same time the Lehigh Valley train did.
He blew down brakes and tried to stop
his train, while the Lehigh Valley en-
gineer began to back his train, but it was
impossible to prevent the two engines
colliding. The Lehigh Valley engine
was considerable damaged, and the
Central but slightly. Engineer Knies
heroically stood at his post, and thereby
prevented a more serious wreck,

and the Hazleton Juniors, two young
uniformed clubs which play ball in a
most scientific manner. The score at
the close of the tenth inning was IS to
II in favor Of the Freeland lads, who
were much smaller and lighter than
Hazleton's representatives, but were
also quicker and understood the game
better and this aided them in winning
There We're several good plays made,
some of which would do credit to larger
and older players. This is the second

The Destructive Weasel.
Iauch Chunk News.

From the Mauch Chunk News
"Kill the weasel He is the greatest
enemy on earth of the rabbit and the
quail. The weasel kills more rabbits
and destroys more quail than all the
foxes and the wild cats and the hunters
put together" These were the opening
words of Hugh Malloy's address on
Tuesday evening to the Carbon
County Game and Fish Protective AS
sociation at special meeting held in
Sheriff Joseph s. Webb's office in the
new court house. The room was well
filled and for an hour Mr.. Malloy,
who is the president of similar associ-
alton at Freeland, entertained his audi
ence with an account of his experiences
during career of twenty years in which
he devoted all his spare time to the
preservation and propagation of fish and
game. He declared, from his ohserva-
ations, as positive fact that fully 80
per cent of the rabbits, pheasants and
quails that are born into this world are
again destroyed by the weasel, the fox,
the wild cat and the hawk.
"Clean these pestiferous animals, in
Carbon and Luzerne countless" said Mr..
Malloy, "and our mountains and our
valleys will be filled with game. We
can, if we want to, make this the grand
est hunting ground in the state"
Another point that he made was that
every hunter oughtto feel in duty bound
to do all in his power to prevent game
from being wantonly destroyed. An in
teresting part of Mr.. Malloy's talk was
the exhibition of ten dead weasels that
have been killed recently within fifteen
miles of Freeland, by members of the
Freeland association. Every weasel was
of different breed, showing that our
woods are far more filled with weasels
than we suspect. We firmly believe
that if Mr.. Malloy's address had been
heard last evening by every man and boy
in East Mauch Chunk and would then
be needed, that the woods of Carbon
county would be fairly swarming with
game inside of three years.

VERY POOR EXHIBITION.
HARRISBURG STATE LEAGUE CLUB
PLAYED A WEAK GAME.

The Tigers Imposed Upon and Allowed
vestigation Now Being Made to Learn
the Cause of the Fake Game.
An exhibition that was dlsgracefu to
professional base ball was given at Free
land park yesterday afternoon by the
Harrisburg State league club. After the
second inning of the game it was evident
to the ,250 spectators that there was
something wrong, judging from the list
less manner in which the visitors play
ed. The Tigers had been disappointed
by their pitcher, John J. McGill, of
Highland, who failed to return from
Scranton, where he had been visiting
last week. Yesterday morning Pfrom,
OF Hazleton, was secured and put in the
box. In the first inning Harrisburg bat
ted him rather heavily, and after that
s. Welsh and Mcclellan were the bat
terry. The home club had lost some of
its confidence by not having its regular
pitcher, and for the first few innings
they made some bad plays. They play
ed at all times, however, to win, and
the Harrisburg club took good care that
they done so.
There was hard hitting on both sides,
but the visitors failed to take advantage
OF the hits they made and sacrificed sew
eral runs by careless base running.
Runners were caught going to bases fire.
quently by the Tigers, and it appeared
that Harrisburg's only desire was that
they should lose the game. The exhi-
bition was a farce throughout on the
part of the visitors, and only two of the
players, Smink and Moss, made anv eff
fort to play the game.
Rain interrupted the contest in the
second inning, but play was resumed af-
ter the shower and the nine innings
were finished.
