OVERALL FACTORY.
Freeland's First Big Industry TAlmost
Ready to Begin Operations.

The Blass Overall Company began
operations at its establishment last
week. Several pairs of the various sizes
of goods which will be manufactured
were made for the use of the travelling
agents, and orders are now being receiv
ed. 1t was the intention of Mr.. Blass
and his associates to have the factory in
able delay on the part of the Electric
Light Company in furnishing power
made this impossible.
The building is large and commodious,
and, as it was erected for the purpose
intended, it will meet all the require
ments. 1t is a two and one-half story
frame structure, 35x11S feet, and none
but the best and heaviest lumber was
used in its construction.
The exterior presents handsome
appearance, the first story being finished
in dark brownstone imitation and the
second in pressed brick imitation.
The interior, however, is where the
greater attention has been given, and
both floors are fitted up with all the
necessary appliances to do a hustling
business. On the second floor the opera
tors will be located. At present there
are in position sixty machines, of the
Singer and the Standard makes, but the
arrangements are such that this number
can be doubled and nearly trcbled, if
necessary.
A ten horsepower electric motor will
drive the machinery. The power will
be received from the electric light plant
as soon as. the new generator arrives.
This is expected in day or Two.
The factory is located advantageously
for light and room to spread. 1t is
about two blocks north of the borough
limits, and is only a few minutes walk
from the centre of town. The capacity
of the plant, when its gets in running
order, will be 5000 pairs of overallS

CALAMITY AT PITTSTON.
ONE HUNDRED MEN KILLED AT THE
TWIN SHAFT YESTERDAY.
The Most Terrible Disaster That Has Oc-
CURED in Years in the Coal Fields Took
Place Early Sunday Morning-None of
the Bodies Recovered Yet.

Shortly after o'clock yesterday morn
ing squeeze occurred in the Twin
shaft at Pittston. Over 100 men were
caught inside the falling coal and rock,
and the probabilities are that every one
of the number has persisted. Mining
experts give it as their opinion that the
chances are greatly against the entomb-
ed men.
For some time past the Red Ash vein
of the Twin shaft has been in danger of
cavng in. The operators, the Newton
Coal Company, have propped it here and
there upon several occasions, but the
signs and warnings of a heavy squeeze"
did not abate any.
On Saturday the company gave orders
to send in a large number of men and
to carry on the work of propping the
roof on an extensive scale.
That evening body of miners, vari-
ously estimated at from rs to 125 in
number, proceeded to work. They were
making good headway against the shaky
roof until nearly midnight.
At that hour there were signs of a
heavy fall. Work ceased until the
workings quieted down again. An hour
later the propping was resumed. AT 3
o'clock, with scarcely any warning, the
roof came down with crash that was
heard for miles outside the collery.
The inhabitants of the city were
aroused, and as the friends and relatives
of the entombed miners assembled about
the shaft and learned the extent of the
disaster, the scene was indescribable.
A list of names of several who are
supposed to be inside was sent out last
night, but it is not complete, The off
cial list will likely be prepared before
this evening.
All hope of finding any of them alive
was abandoned at midnight, and Super
intendent Lathrop, of the Lehigh Valley
Company, says it may be ten days before
the bodies are recovered.
Among those who are known to be en-
tombed are: N. j. Langan, inside
superintendent, who is acting mayor of
Pittston in the absence of Mayor
MalOney; also COuncllmcn LFnott. At
least sixty are Irish or of Irish descent,
forty are Hungarian or Polish laborers,
and the others are divided among the
other nationaities.
AT 0 o'clock this morning a message
to the TRIBUNE from Wilkcsbarre stated
that none of the bodies have yet been
recovered. The company is doing all it
can to reach the men, but the work is
hazardous and beset with dangers to
the rescuers.
The timekceper at the colicry is
among the missing men. His accounts
are with him, consequently the exact
number of men and their names will not
be known until the employees who are
alive can be reckoned.

BOARD of Henlth Meeiinr.

The first regular meeting of the re-
organized Beard of Health was held on
Friday evening at DR.. Schilcher's office.
The cleaning of alleys, both public and
private, was the first matter considered.
A motion was made and carried that the
health officer confer with the street
commissioner in regard to taking the
necessary steps toward having them
cleaned Immediately.
The health officer reported that a
house on Adams street had no trap in its
sewer connection, nor had any been
placed in the connections on the prop
critics of MeSsrs. Hauze, Zeistloft and
Ward and Mrs. Quinn on Washington
street; also that the properties of Isaac
Davis on Front street and Thomas Birll-
beck on South Washington street had
no sewer connections.
This official also reported an overflow
ing cesspool existing on the property OF
John Yannes, and that Fishers livery
stable was not connected with the sewer.
Nuisances were reported in the yards OF
Mrs. GafTney, MessrS. Casper, Bitnel
and Enama on Ridge street, Burns, Mrs.
l1attesby, Mrs. Jenkins, Mrs. McGroarty
and Shearo'S on Centre street and Mrs
Frank O'Donnell on Washington.
A housc-to-house inspection, including
yards and outbuildngs, will be made by
the health officers and members of the
board soon.
1t was suggested that the council re-
quire permit to tap sewers for each
and every connection, and that the ap.
plications for SO doing be made to the
burgess, to be signed by the health of.
iicer and the work to done under tho
lattcr's control according to sanitary
laws.
case of diphtheria was reported as
existing in the family of Mr. Ondeck OF

Bernard McFadden has returned from
Philadelphia, where he went last week
to receive trial on the Philadelphia
club. He was placed on first bag in the
morning practice on Wednesday, and
the Record states that he showed up re-
markably well. The club left on Friday
to play away from home for some time.
Captain Nash offered to take him along
without signing, or would allow him to
return to Frecand and go down again
when the club returns and be given
another trial. McFadden accepted the
latter proposition, and when the Phillies
get home he will likely go down for
another trial

REPUBLICAN TROUBLES.
COUNTY AND DISTRICT MEETINGS
TO BE HELD THIS WEEK.
Primary Elections on Saturday Evening
Were Holly Contested Throughout the
Fourth District-spirited Fight Expect
ed Today at Hazieton.

Fourth District-Spirited Fight Expect
ed Today at Hazieton.
The Republicans of Luzerne county
had an exciting time at the primary
elections on Saturday evening. There
was scarcely district in the county
that two or more men did not wish to
represent in the conventions tomorrow
at Wilkesbarrc. The delegates elected
in this borough are William Moses,
Thomas Elliott, Genero Bonomo and
John Smith.
An estimate of the delegates choice
made at the county seat yesterday
makes the following ticket: For con-
gress, Williams; senator, Harvey; treas
urer, Robinson; register, Kuntz. This
is subject to change if the delegates are
not too steadfast to their candidates
On the commissioner question the esti-
matters are all at sea. There are so
many candidates that it is almost i'm
possible to obtain fair idea of who is
in the lead
Claims are made by lower enders that
DePierro will be nominated for the Of
flee. The friends of Donaughey are al
so putting forth every effort to land him
a winner
The convention tomorrow is expected
to be one of the largest that Luzerne
Republicans have ever held. All the
candidates have signed an anti-boodle
document, but this is not supposed to
cut much of a figure around the Square
tonight.
A Lchigh Valley train will leave
Wilkesbarre after the convention to-
morrow evening for the lower end.
A special rate on return tickets ha,
been made from all stations on that
line.
Doctor Thos. M. Powell, the Republi-
can aspirant for the legislative nomna-
tion, swept the fourth district Saturday
evening and gathered in majority of
the delegates who will attend the con
ycntion at IIazleton today. In Frceland
borough, where the anti-ncw county
sentiment was supposed to be so strong,
this out-and-out new county candidate
had u Veritabe walk-over. The votes
polled against his delegates here were
scarcely worth counting. The Freeland
delegates to the legislative convention
are William Moses, Thomas Elliott,
Gencro Bonomo and VIII Marshman.
