Injured.

Carmel, N. Y, Dec. IAN accident
resulting in the loss Of thiateen or
fourteen lives, occurred at the lilly
Foster mines to-day. Forenens Pat
rick was descending into the pit to
take the time of the gangs sGf labor
ers, numbering about thirty-fye men,
who were working at the bottom,
when vast weight of earth and rock
slid with the force of an avalanche
from the mouth of the pit to the bot
tom, a distance of 300 feet. The earth
crashed over the men with 4Temend-
GUS force. Out of the gang OF eleven
only five came out alive, and three Of
the men employed in another gang
were taken out dead. Among those
known to be dead are:
Michael Cannon, foreman; Patrick
II. AIurtha, foreman; John Pagan,
boarding house keeper; Thomas Den
mis-, James Smith, an Austrian known
as No. 234. An Austrian known as
1914 received fracture Of the skull
and will probably die. The names of
the others killed are at present I'M
known. Several of the wOrkmen are
seriously injured.
The caye-in caused the greatest ex-
element. but as soon as possible
gangs Of men were set to work to re-
move the bodies Of those known to be
under the mass of earth. Supt. Temp
kins and Foreman Lynch took charge
of the work. Murtha was taken out
alive, but died five minutes after he
was taken home. 1t is thought that all
the others in the pit are Italians and
Austrians. There was some difficulty
experienced in Identifying several OF
the bodies, owing to the terrible dis
figurement they had undergone.
Without Warming.
The first intimation Of those below
was the rumbling noise which pre-
coded the fall Of the mass. But the
shock came so suddenly that few were
able to reach places of safety. Half
dozen of the workers who were di-
rectly under the ledge from which the
mass of earth fell, were buried under
tons of debris. The fall was ire
mendous, for great pieces of rock and
ore were carried along with the ava
lanche.
One of the first to be brought to
the top was Foreman Msrtha. He
was found near the top, pinned down

away. but died almost Immediately
after reaching there. He was mar
ried, and his wife, along with the
wives of the other unfortunates, stood
at the top Of the slope while the res
suers were at work.

NEXT FRIDAY
WILL HAYWARD HANG FOR THE
GING MURDER.
u II Reported That Gov. Cloush
Has Decided Upon the Date for
the Execution and That No Petit
ton for Executive Clcmcncy Will
Cause the Governor to Commute
the Sentence.

st, Paul, Dec. 1.-Gov. Clough was
asked to-day If the statement in the
morning papers to the effect that
twelve Minneapolis physicians had
subscribed to proposition that Harry
Hayward was insane would induce
him to commute Hayward's sentence
to life imprisonment.
1T is yet too early for me to say
what will do" said the governor. II
have not yet received the communica-
tion from the Minneapolis physicians.
When it is proper for me to act,
shall do so promptly"
Although the governor positively re-
fused to commit himself one way or
the other it was learned from an alb
solutely reliable authority that he mas
said privately that the law will be
permitted to take it's course, and that
Hayward will receive no considera-
tion whatever. Furthermore, the
date OF execution has been definitely
fixed upon as Friday, Dee. 6, and there
is not a particle of doubt but what
Hayward will be hanged on that date.
Ii is understood at the capitol that
the physicians will make no appeal
I for executive clemency, but content
themselves with submitting a state
naent that they believe Hayward to be
insane, leaving the Inference clear
that an irresponsible being should not
suffer the death penalty. But It is
certain that these considerations will
have no weight with Gov. Clough at
this late hour.
Holmberg Is Ready.
Minneapolis, Nov. 1--we will be
ready for him next Friday" said Sher-
itf Holmberg when informed that the
date was practically fixed. 81 had
rather expected that it would have
, been.;t week later, OH; Dec. Is. but lit
is just as well. The trouble will be
over all the quicker. 1t will be a
great load off my mind. No one has
any idea what a worry this is to me-
not the duty, but the worry of keep
ing the man safely"
'FIas anybody approached you to
sign a petition for a communication Of
sentencew was asked.
mo, SIR" replied the sheriff. II
guess they know how I feel about it. I
will admit that there are cases where
] might sign such a paper. for if there
was no pardoning power, would
much prefer life Imprisonment to
hanging. In this case, though, am
so certain that this is guilty, and
so certain that he deserves all in
store for him, that if my own mother
handed me that petition on her knees,
l could not bring myself to sign it.
That is the way feel about it,"

This Action May BE Taken by the

As Boston. Dec. 1.-The following re-
liable letter from an American resi-
dent Of Constantinople was received
here to-day:
The most pressing question next to
that OF the safety Of the people who
survive is the provision Of aid for fam
: ilfes OF those who have been slaugh-
tered. Aid must come on a great
scale Or thousands will die. The pow
sers Will have control in some way be-
fore the money comes in, so that relief
work on large scale will be possible.
The position here Is critical in the ex-
trene. The Turks are coming in
4 from Asiatic Turkey flushed with mas
sacre and pillage. telling of their
an accompanying slaughter is possible
MT any moment. The, sultan is fight
ing for his life, and is not yet con-
WINGED that he is going to be punished
for his crimes. When the powers are
ready to move on him, he may order
any wild act of revenge in the way OF
general massacre in order to 60 out in
cloud of smoke and glory. The
powers are acting in the greatest Sc
crecy that he may not have time to
do this. When the fleets are ready to
come in they will put themselves in
communication with the porte and de-
mand the surrender of the sultan's
person, and think that the porte will
dethrone him. But it will be an anx-
ious time until this is accomplished
Constantinople, Dec. 1. - Affairs
here arc fast coming to a climax, and
some decisive move on the part Of the
powers is liable to be taken at any
time The sultan refuses to issue
fr1mans for the passage of extra guard
ships through the Darlanelles. and the
ambassadors are awaiting instructions
from their governments.
