CRUSHED TO DEATH.
Tons of Earth Slide at Stripping and
Two Men Are Killed.

A shocking accident by which two
men lost their lives and several thou
sand dollars worth of property was de-
stroyed, took place at Milnesville strip
ping operated by A. S. Wicke tS Co., on
Tuesday. The accident was practically
a landslide, and the first that has occur
red about the mines. The names of the
victims are John Martin of MiInesville,
and John Rislio of Harlcigh. Both are
1ungarians. There were usually about
thirty men employed around the place
where the crash took place. This was a
stripping hole about 300 feet deep. The
sides rise at an angle of seventy-live de-
gress, pitching north and south at the
top. The opening is 100 feet across,
and at the bottom tapers in ''V'' shape
where the two veins meet Half way
down railroad was built along the
rocks. Along this road Martin and
Risko started with mule team at noon.
The men working below them left at
the same time to go to dinner.
When the men reached point half
way across there was a sudden cracking
of the rock and the next moment tons of
slate and rock began to slide, carving
the unfortunate men down to death.
Willing hands were quickly at work
digging in an effort to extricate the /
doomed miners. Two mules were first
found. These were crushed to pulp,
and several mine cars which stood at
the bottom were smashed to splnters.

SALOONS MUST CLOSE.
Tenants of Girard Estate Notified Not to
Seek Renewal of License.

The widest sort of CONSERVATION is
prevailing among the hotel and saloon
keepers of West Mahanoy township,
Schuylkill county, owing to a circular
letter, copy of which each of them re-
ceived from the Board of City Trusts of
Philadelphia. There are twenty hotels
and licensed saloons in the township, and
lands of the Girard estate. The letter
in question is a terse but positive notice
to them that if they continue to sell
liquor on the premises after the expira-
tion of the current license year they will
forfeit their leases and render them
selves liable to ejectment
This action on the part of the Board
of City Trusts was surprise to those
who received the letter. The leases un-
der which they hold possession contain
clause prohibiting the sale of liquor on
the grounds, but the clause has always
been violated with impunity, and the
present lessees had no intimation that
the prohbitory clause was ever to be
enforced until the notices came to them
from the Philadelphia Office of the Board
of City Trusts.
Several of the hotelkeepers have valu-
able properties, which will be rendered
almost worthless by the enforcement of
the order. December 1G is the last day
for filing license applications, and as the
exact language of the circular is that
they must not apply for renewal of
their licenses they are at loss to know
what to do

A fire broke out yesterday morning
about $3.50 o'clock in the double frame

was almost entirely destroyed. Mr..
Nolan and family occupied a portion of
the building, the remainder being occu-

origin of the fire is unknown. The

alarm and succeeded in saving the
house adjoining, owned by william

There was an insurance of 81 200 on

MR.. CARRIERS RECITAL.
A Programme OF High Class Music Rem
iercd In a Pleasing Manner


The twilight recital given by Organist
George b. Carter at Elm Park church
yesterday afternoon attracted a large
and appreciative audience, which in
cluded many well-known musicians Of
the city. Owing to the Illness of Mrs.
Boston Williams, contralto, who had
intended TO assist, several changes in
the advertised programme were neces-
sary.
The entertainment however was
pleasing throughout, and the close at
tention given each number by the au-
dience was evidence that the efforts Of
the musicians were appreciated.
Mr.. Carter rendered selections from
works of Dudley Buck, Dubois and
Schubert upon the organ in his usual
artistic manner and with taste and
skill that would defy criticism from
any, save, perhaps. master of the
king of Instruments.
Miss Margaret A. Nevin, of Philadel-
phia, made most favorable impression
upon the musical critics in the audi
ence. Miss Nevin possesses u sweet
soprano voice, sympathetic in tone and
under good state of cultivation. Her
unassuming manner and entire ease in
rendering "I VIII Eytol Thee" by
Costi and Gounod's There is a Green
HILL" captivated the listeners.
Mr.. Wooler and Mr.. Thomas, tenor
and basso of Elm Park church quar-
tette, each contributed a SOLO and
closed the programme with a duet, Il
Feel Thy Holy Spirit" which was rem
dered in pleasing style.
