DEATH OF A LfNEMAN.,
Fell From a Pole and Almost In
Stantsy Killed.

SAN FRANCISCO. June 29.-James
) Dawson, the well Unknown bicyclist
and member of the Imperial Club. was
almost instantly killed shortly before ,
o'clock this afternoon on Market street
Dawson was a lineman for the Cali
fornia Electric Light Company, and
while at work on pole opposite San
born & Wallis fell to the sidewalk and
received injuries which resulted in his
death in a few minutes
1t is uncertain whether Dawson was
killed by the fall or by an electric shock.
People who saw the fatality say Daw-
son was working near the top of the
pole, touched live wire and at once
fell. He caught on some telephone
wires as he fell and then came to the
sidewalk with great violence.
He was taken to the Receiving Hos
pital and died there a few minutes after
his arrival-at 2:10. So the doctors did
not make a close examination of the
body, but ait once sent it to the Morgue.
Deceased was 26 years of age and un-
married. He lived at $40 Howard street.
To-day was Dawson's first day of
work for two weeks. Two weeks ago,
while engaged in q pole climbing con-
test with some of his fellow linemen, he
fell and received severe injuries, which
laid him up.

PlTTSTON MINE DISASTER.
NOT LESS THAN SEVENTY nEN
ENTOMBED,
With Very Lite Hope That Any of
Them Will be Rescued
Alive.

WlLKESBARRE Ra), June 90
The situation at the scene of the Pitts
ton mine disaster remains practically
unchanged. The company is making
every possible effort to reach the vic
Tins, but there is very little hope that
any of them will be rescued alive.
1t is not yet possible to give the exact
number of persons in the pit, but it is
cSrtaln that there arc not less than
seventy men entombed, leaving about
forty-eight widows and 125 orphans.
The Board of Trade of Pittston TODAY
appropriated $1,000 for the Immediate
wants OF the bereft families. and de-
sires through the United Press to ap-
peal to the charitably disposed at home
and abroad for such aid as they may be
pleased to contribute to this very worthy
object Contributions may be forwarded
to Thomas Mangan, Treasurer of the
Beard of Trade of Pittston. Pa.
The friends q relatives of the en-
tombed men haunted to-day and to-
night the head of the shaft, hopirg
against hope that some of the rescuing
party may bring up word of cheer. But
as one gang after another reached the
surface and answered the eager cues
tons with only a sad shake of the head
despair was again shown upon the
countenances of the unhappy ones.
The rescuing party that went into the
shaft this morning came up at s O'Clock
this evening, and as they jumped from
the carriage the foreman was heard to
say: mo hope of rescue as yet" Later
on it was learned that the situation in
side is changing almost hourly, ewing to
the continuous caving or Squeezing -
and on this account nothing can be told
as to when the men can be reached
The rescuing party tonight were
working their way to the point where
they wished to start digging to-mor-
row morning, but at midnight the prons
and pillars in the shaft are being forced
out of place, and no progress can be
made until after this difficulty can be
averted Monster pumps We're lowered
and will be set as near as possible to the
scene of death, but there is no telling
what the pumps will be able to do. Men
are at work drilling a hole through the
Clear Spring colliery into the Twin
Shaft workings. The men started on
Sunday to cut a hole through large
enough to admit mans body, but the
Twin Shaft would rush into the Clear
Spring and cause disaster to those
workings also, so it was decided to
abandon the work of making so large a
hole, and to merely drill a small bore
hole through the eighty feet of coal for
the double purpose of finding out the
condition of the Twin Shaft workings Is
to water and gas, and with the idea of
communicating with the men, if they
or any of them-should chance to be on
the side of the cave next to the Clear
Springs partition.
Prominent mining officials from all
parts of the country were on the scene
| to-day discussing the sad disaster from
every standpoint. A conference was
held during the day, at which reports
We're made to the effect that the fall is
the largest ever known to any miner
The record-union., 1896-06-30

in this valley. and that the cave is still
going on. Among the officials who were
present were Mine Inspector Blowitt of
Scranton, Anthony Horn, Superintend-
ent of the Pennsylvania Coal Company.
Pittston; Superintendent Davis of the
Dodson Coal Company, Plymouth; H. H.
Ashley, General Manager of the Parish
Coal Company, West Pittston. and J.
Bennett Smith, practical engineer of the
Hazard Works, Wilkesbarre. The most
Of them have come to the conclusion
that the bodies will never be reached.
Water had been running into the
shaft since yesterday, and to-day it has
increased in volume. Both the Lacka-
wanna and Susquehanna Rivers run in
close proximity to the Twin Shaft. From
the surface to the point where the rock
begins there is at least 145 feet of what
is known as river wash. From this
point down to the bottom, or the level.
where the men are, there were previous
to the fail $50 feet of rock. AS long as
this remained intact there was perhaps
more leakage through the crevice into
the mine than in mines which are not
in such close proximity to waterways.
In the fall the $50 feet of rock referred
TO must nave Deen shattered, d1IOW1nS
the water to pour into the shaft in large
quantities, until the open space below
was all filled. The very natural con-
clusion of this is that if the victims did
not lose their lives under the fall they
came to their death by drowning If
this be true, and there is no reason to
doubt that it is, it will be impossible to
remove the bodies of the victims from
the mine.
When it became known that it was
more than probable that they would
never be reached, the excitement was
renewed. The rescuing party that came
from the shaft at 10 p. m. reported the
situation worse than during the day.
The workings are crushed near the
foot of the shaft, and the outlook is
very sorrowful The night shift of res
cuers We're driven back by the roof cav
ing in and closing UP the work that had
been accomplished during the afternoon.
1t is now feared that the opening or en-
trance to the Twin Shaft may be closed
before the next twenty-four hours.
More props were lowered into the pit
tonight, which will be placed around
the pillars to aid them in keeping the
surface from caving in near the foot.
What the night will bring forth no liv-
ing soul can tell.

of the contract it made, has, to say the
least, a strange sound to those who
heed the universal cry of distress oc-
casioned as they believe by doubling
the purchasing power of money and
cutting in twain the market price of
labor. If to undo what law has done to
add to the burdens of the toiling mill
ions of this nation and double the for
tunes of the rich within it is to disrupt
the Democratic party, disruption must
come. The majority of the party
threatens no wrong to anyone, and if
those who compose that majority can
avoid it, all may be assul ed they will
submit to no wrong, such as the per-
manent establishment of a Single gold
standard would impose upon the great
mass of the people of this nation.

A SAD ACCIDENT
Occurs on the Water Front at Boston
-Four Lives Lost.

BOSTON. June 29-One of the sad
dest accidents in the history of the Bos-
ton waterfront occurred at Castle
Island, off City Point, this afternoon.
About 2:30 o'clock seventy-five chill
dren were on a rickety, unsafe gang
plank and float at the landing south Of
the bridge from the point to the island,
when the float overturned and thirty or
more of the children were tumbled into
the water. Four boys were drowned,
four children were picked up uncon-
scious and later revived, and the others
as far as known were saved.
The dead are: James S. Washburn,
James F. Cole, II years old: Lawrence
Mcdowell, II years old: an unknown
lad of about II years.
The injured are: Lillian Duffy, IL
years; Harry Sampson, 10 years
To-day was to be observed as Farra-
gut Day in South Boston, and in honor
of the event the South Boston Histor-
ical Society had distributed a large
number of buttons among the children
emitting them to a free ride on
steamer from City Point to Castle
Island. AS a result, the little steamer
was crowded on her trips during the
afternoon, and so early did the rush be-
gin that the police force detailed for the
afternoon duty at Castle Island had not
arrived when the little steamer Ella
arrived at the float with. "a big list of
children passengers from the point at
2:30 O'Clock and began to unload them
on the float, just as fifty children on
the granite pier started on a run down
the gang-plank to go aboard. The two
crowds met, the float upset, the gang
plank split and the accident occurred.

Referee Earp was the only witness examined

however. that he did not have dollar in the
