NINETY MINERS BURIED.
Caught In Gazing Coal shaft at Rltts-


ton, IA.
WILKEsBARRE, Pa, June 29--Ninety
miners are buried In the Red Ash vein
Of the Twin shaft at Pittston. Not
one is expected to come alive out of
the mines mouth, around which 1000
shrielsing, weeping praying men,
women and children are gathered.
The roof at the vein caved in while the
men were putting III timbers to pre-
vent collapse, of which they had
been warned. Not a single body, liv-
ing or dead, has been recovered. SUI
perintendent Lnthrop. of the Lehigh
Valley Coal Company, an authority on
mine disasters, says the bodies cannot
be recovered inside of ten days. Many
of the buried miners were Poles and
Huns. Their families speak no Eng
lish and their names cannot be ascer-
tanned. For several days the men had
been at work trying to prevent the
cave-in. Several times there had been
bad fall of earth, but each time the
men had resumed their labors. Sud
denly the roof fell with a tremendous
crash. The shock ofthe collapse was
like CONFUSION of nature. The
earth trembled. In houses near the
mine the inhabitants were tumbled
from their beds. The duh roar in the
earth's bowels was heard for miles
around. The foundations of every
building in Pittston were shaken
Doors and windows ratified and falling
glass cracked as if the town were in a
tornado's grip. Thousands rushed
into the streets, fearing the roofs and
walls would come topping down.
Shortly it dawned upon the people
that the trouble was in the mines and
then the work of rescue began.
WILKEsBARRE, Pa, June 30.-It is
small army of men which was at work
in the Inflated Twin shaft at Pittston
not one survived. Not only is every
approach to their dark,tomb barricaded
by enormous masses of rock and de-
| bris, but it is known that in the mine
there is a large quantity of water,
which is increasing in volume every
minute. Thus the chances of recover.
| ing their bodies are more remote than
ever. sProminent officials say tina!
weeks and months may be consumed
in clearing away the fallen coal in or
der to reach the bodies of the victims.

A Typewritins md Adding Machin

A Typewriting md Adding Machine
A machine has been invented for
typewritiDg and adding figures at the
same time. The invention is describ-
ed as being intended to quickly and
accurately add a column or columns
Of figures and at the same time. and
by the same manipulation of the keys
to print these figures upon a sheet of
paper or blank book in the order
in which they are added, so as to form
a proof sheet, which will verify the
correctness of the addition. Tie ma
chine by special adjustment, may be
made to print at the end Of the
column the sum total of the figures
and to do this in vertically descend
ing or vertically ascending or hori-
zontal progression. Additions can be
made either to the right or to the left.
The printing is in full sight. The
machine works with the ease OF a
typewriter, and it's speed is onff linn
tied by the skill of the operator 1t
subtracts by reversing arrangement,
the registering disk running one way
as readily as the other. Its construc-
ton is simple, considering the variety
and extent of work done. 1t is adapt
ed to printing on pass books, which it
does as readily as upon ordinary plat
en- and sheet 1t can be used to add
without printing OF to print without
adding. If mistakes are made, they
can be seen at once.
