THAT DEADLY GAS
ROBERT BLANCHARD NEARLY
ROASTED TO DEATH.
TERRIFIC MINE EXPLOSION
Many Men Believed to Have Persisted
Two Rescued in a Dying Condi-
uon-RescuerS at Wol K in the Mine
-Blanchard's Story Of the Acct
dent.

WlkeSb barre, Pa, Oct S.-A terrific
explosion of gas occurred last evening
IN the Dorrance mine, operated by the
Lehigh Valley coal company. 1t is
not yet known how many men were in
the mine. The officials are reticent
and it is impossible to get any infor-
nation from the levels where the
rescuers are at work At S o'clock
last might five men, all badly burned,
were brought to the surface Two of
them, Robert Blanchard and VIM.
Miller, members of the engineers
corps, are so badly burned that they
cannot live. The other three are
Michael Moss, George Lafy, and JOS
eph Murphy.
Blanchard's version of the explo-
sion is as follows: The engineers
corps decided to make a survey of
that portion of the old abandoned
workings which underlie the Wilkes
barre baseball park. The party, i'll
charge of Fire-boss Daniel Reese.
consisted of William Jones, William
Cahil and Llelwyn Owens. Blanch-
ard and Miller were left behind to
finish some work that had been
started in the morning. About twelve
minutes after the party left the ex-
plosi0n occurred. Both Miller and
Blanchard were knocked down by it's
force. Flying timbers struck Miller,
breaking both arms. Blanchard
thinks ore of the engineers set fire to
a body of gas in the old workings
and that all the party were instantly
killed. When Blanchard was found
he Was being slowly roasted to death.
His clothes were almost burned off
his body.
EARLY this morning the rescuers
had made little neddway toward
reaching the scene OF the explosion.
tre-danp made its appearance 1t
is admitted by the mine officials that
there is Il hope of finding the en-
engineers alive. If the men were not
killed q fright by the explosion, they
have been suffocated by fire DAMP.
All but eight miners and !dooreTs
nave been accounted for. Whether
these also persisted with the engineer
VIII not be known for some .Iours.

BARBARISM AND MISERY.
Children Allowed to Starve in Squalid
Surroundings.

Cleveland, Oct. S.-A horrible case
Of barbarism and misery was dis
covered by the coroner yesterday a
few miles east of Cleveland. Carl
Longewitz has been living with his
wife and children in a filthy shed
devoid Of furniture. Sa turday their
baby, nine days old, died. The coro-
ger found the family in a horrible
condition. The body Of the baby was
covered with dirt and was a mere
skeleton. The coroner believes
that death was caused by
starvation. A week ago the neigh
bors took the eighteen-months-old
boy from the family and are trying
to save his life. He was on the verge
Of starving. Longewitz had seven
children. All are dead except the res.
cued boy and the neighbors say all
died as the baby did. LongeWitz is
in Jail pending the corCner's Inquest,
having been arrested after desper
ate fight with the officers.

San Francisco, October 6.-Lillie
Bayer, one of the women who claims
to be the lawful widow of the late
Senator James G. Fair, is now a pris-
Oner at Sun Quentin. where she will
serve a term Of ten years for en-
beZzlement, The story of Lille Bayer
is a remarkable one. Soon after the
death of Senator Fair, she announced
that she had married tho millionaire
in 1892, and that one son was the
result Of the union. She asserts pos
ttively that she has papers in her pos
session which will prove her claims.

decided her a ranch in this state, the

POPE LEO'S DESIRE.
LONGS FOR A RETURN OF THE
EASTERN CHURCH.
An Armenian Priest Speaks on the
Subject-Declaratio ton on the Sun
day Closing Of Saloons.

Washington, Oct. 4.-The Euchar.
completed its session last night with
a procession led by Cardinal Gibbons,
and including most of the archbishops
bishops and dignitaries Of the Ameri-
can hierarchy, through the Catholic
university grounds to the steps of Nc
MahOn hall, where the cardinal pro-
nounced the benediction. 1t was an
imposing demonstration bringing to
a fitting close the most notable ga TIL
ering of clergy in the history Of the
church. Prior to the procession the
business of the congress was cOnclud-
ed by the passage of a resolution EN-
bodying the results accomplished. A
significant feature of the resolution
was its strong statement in favor of
Sunday observance, as a practical
list. The resolution also affirmed ad-
herence to the declarations of the
third ecumenical conference at Balti-
more on the Sunday question, the chief
point in that declaration being that
saloon should be closed Sunday. Arch
bishop Corrigan and other high pre-
lateS were on the platform when
this resolution was read and unani-
mously adopted.
The two sessions during the day
were occupied with the reading of
papers concerning the eucharist. The
paper of Rev. Jos. YaZbeck. an Ar
menian missionary, attracted marked
attention owing to the TurkO-
Armenian riots reported by the Asso-
ciated press and the efforts of Pope
Leo to return the eastern church to
papal authority. Rev. YaZbeck said
that of the three millions of Ar
menians oily about a hundred thous-
and were allied with the Catholic
He doubted whether it would
be possible to bring back the princes
and patriarchs of the east. But he
pointed out that the separation was
formal to large extent. the only i'm
portant features being that the east
ern church did not acknowledge the
Of the pope. 1t had the
Catholic mass and ceremony. Hun
dreds of Armenians had said to him
''therc is no real difference between
US: let the shepards agree and we will
follow" He closed with the eloquent
eXhortation that the eastern church
might be brought back before Pope |
Leo's dea tn in order that the pontiff's |
great desire might be accomplished. J

TO PAY BY CHECK.
Northwestern Railway Takes Pre-
cautions Against Robbers

Beginning with this month all en-
ployes of the Chicago & Northwest
ern railroad will be paid in checks
instead Of cash. A circular announc-
ing the change says the cash pay-car
is abolished as it is not possible to
guard the money when paying the
currency, as the use of dynamite and
other explosives, and the murderous
recklessness Of train robbers are a
constant menace, so that payment In
currency not only involves the loss of
money, but endangers the life of
everybody connected with the pay
department. The company expects
that the checks will be cashed by
bankers, merchants and others with
out charging a discount, and states
that should a discount be charged the
company will arrange so that the
checks can be cashed without loss to
those receiving them.
