One of nest of sixteen boilers eX-
ploded at the Centralia coliery on Sat
urday morning and one workman was
instantly killed, two died during the
day, and two Others were injured, one
of whom will die. The damage is esti-
mated at $1,000. The dead are: An
drew Monchok, married, body horribly
lacerated and scalded. John Ganthey,
single, scalded from head to foot.
Joseph Kubick, single, body horribly
scalded and injured internally. Those
fatally injured are Matthew Lesher, boss
fireman, one leg burned to crisp and
body badly scalded; has wife and four
children. John Bolniski, trunk of body
badly scalded.
When Boss Fireman Lesher heard the
kissing of steam at ). 30 o'clock he shout
ed to his assistants to run for their lives,
and then ran down in front OF the boilers
to examine them. A few minutes later
there was Il terrific explosion, and Lesher
and his assistants were buried beneath
Il mass of hot Goals and other debris
with live steam boiling their bodies.
One boiler was hurled 500 yards, three
Others were blown from their fastenings
and the remaining twelve were displaced
by the concussion.
Miners who were just going to their
days work organized rescuing gangs and
assisted the helpless victims.
The boilerhouse was reduced to kind
ling wood. One brick pierced the roof
of dwelling and wrecked the footboard
of bed in which two children were
sleeping
A half hour later hundreds of men and
boys would have been passing the boiler-
house on their way to their days work.
The cause of the explosion is mys-
terry. The plant is operated by the Le-
high Valley Coal Company and employs
800 men and BOYS,

The storm which passed over north
eastern Pennsylvania Thursday night
was one of the heaviest ever experienced
in the upper end of the county. The
rain came down in sheets, and in some
places the wind was tornado-lke in its
fury. A very serious washout occurred
on the Harvey's Lake branch of the Le-
high Valley Railroad. The Ganoga Lake
branch is also somewhat affected, al
though not badly. The town of Noxen
also suffered severely from the storm.
The whole town was Hooded and the
hotel, drug store, blacksmith shop and
many private residences were more or
less damaged All the streets were
washed out, and nearly every cellar in
the village was flooded. The great
downpour of rain made Bowman's creek
raging torrent
A gust of wind struck the new hotel
which A. S. Orr was constructing at Dal-
las, completely destroying it. 1t was a
frame structure. three stories high and
10 feet front, and was intended for a
summer hotel or sanitarium. The loss
is about So, 900.

There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition Of the mucous lining Of the
eustachian tube. When this tube gets
infamed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when il is entire
ly closed deafness is the result, and un-
less the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; niEe cases out Of ten are caused by
catarrah, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous surfaces.

Three Lives Lost in a Stream.

A frightful drowning accident, result
ing in the loss of three lives, occurred
on Friday at Old Forge,'a small village
near Scranton. The victims are Mrs.
James Mccarthy, of Scranton, and her
two granddaughters, Mary and Margaret
Cinch, aged 4 and years respectively.
Mrs. Mccarthy had been visiting her
daughter, Mrs. John Cinch, of Old Forge,
and about l o'clock started to return
home, accompanied by the little chill
dren. They intended to take the cleo
trio car at Moosic for Scranton. A short
bridge. The old lady took the two chill
dren by the hand and started to cross
the bridge, which spans the Lackawan-
ma river.
She was about half way across the
bridge when she saw a trainO of coal cars.
backed by an engine, coming toward
her This evidently bewildered her and
the next instant the train hands saw
her disappear over the edge of the bridge
into the river, twenty-five feet below.
The two children clung to her dress and
went over with her.
The recent heavy rain had caused the
river to rise and there was about six feet
of water where they fell and a heavy
current was on. When the train hands
reached the spot all three of the bodies
had been swept out of sight. Parties
were at once organized and the river
was dragged. The body of one of the
children was recovered
