TWO MEN BURNED.
Explosion OF Gas ia the Bellevue Shaft.
A Naked Lamp Was the
Cause of II.

An explosion of gas in the Big vein
of the Bellevue shaft yesterday morn
ing shortly before noon painfully in-
jured two men. The men We're engaged
with three others in driving coun-
ter heading, which will be used for
runway. one of the miners, Lewis
Parry, Of Back street, left his work in
the heading and went to an opening
which would be met when the new
opening was made
1t seems that a small pocket of gas
had collected there and this was isnit-
ed by Mr.. Parry's lamp resulting in an
explosion. Mr.. Parry was severely
burned about his head, face, neck and
hands, as was also Thomas Jones, of
Bloom street. who drives the mule for
the men who We're making the cutting.
Jones was not so badly burned as Par
ry. due to his being a distance away
from the explosion and almost in the
direct air current
Both men will soon be able to return
to work as their wounds are more pain
ful than serious. The other men were
fortunate in being at work in the air
current and this prevented the flame
blowing down upon them.

AFTER THE DOGS.

Apropos of the feeling of sorrow and
suspense which has been cast upon
the West Side people by the death OF
little Bennie Bevan. whose death was
due to hydrophobia, it might be well to
state that there Is a strong desire upon
the part of public-spirted citizens to
hold mass meeting. The object of the
mass meeting would be to form peti-
tion which would be presented to the
mayor asking that every police officer
be instructed to kill every dog found at
large upon the public streets without
muzzles; in addition, a subscription
might be raised whereby any sufferer
could be sent to New York to the Pas
teur institute and given proper treat
mcnt and thus prevent repetition OF
the sad death of little Bevans The
homes of those boys who were known
to be bitten were visited yesterday ana
it was reported that no dangerous
signs were noticeable.

WEEK OF PRAYER.
The Objects for Which it is to BE
Held.

A week Of prayer for the Observance
OF the Lords day will begin in this city
on April 4, For nineteen years a week
of prayer has been observed for the
preservation of the Sabbath. The OBJ
ject of the week of prayer is set forth
as follows
First-That God will bestow such in
fiuences of the Holy Spirit as shall
quicken the consclences of all Christilns
that they may give more earnest heed to
His command to hallow the Sabbath in
their homes and in public by retrainng
from such acts as VIII tend 10 w iken
regard for the LORDS Day
Second-That He will lead Christians TO
obey the important part of the Four,n
Commandment; Thou, nor thy man SER
want nor thy maid servant nor the strang-
er," and to understand that it is a greater
sin to require another to do wrong than
TO do 1t ourselves; and that no one obeys
God fully In this command until he has
done all I'm his power to secure for those
in his employ and opportunity for the en-
joyment of Sabbath rest and worship.
Thrd-That lie will lead to victory al

Plea for the Green Ridge Library.

Editor of The Tribune.
Sir.-rhe beautiful exhibition now be-
ing held in the board of trade room should
be viewed by every adult and child IN
Scranton. Aside from the many lovely
pictures and rare cur!os which are dis
played (and which viii richly repay those
who spend the modest price Of aimission)
there is the good work which this library
is accomplishing and which Will appeal
to all kindly hearts when it is known
that this same little library is doing u
good work i'm the outlying districts Of
Green Ridge among boys who are
obliged to fight the bread and butter bat
tie of life ana to begin that battle very
early.
TO wipe out the debt that hampers this
library has been the earnest effort of the
board of managers for many weary
months; but little efforts bring only little
sums and so the managers have striVen
to bring the needs of this institution be-
tore the notice of the city generally, and
feel they have really an exhibition which
will please and instruct. Many Scranton
ians have been most generous in giving
of their choicest treasures of art to en-
rich the display and we ask that every
family in the city may feel a persona!
obligation to AID in this most deserving
missionary work. Fun well we know
they would, could they see the young
men ana boys who nightly slip quietly
into the reading room to pour over the
books and magazines for an hour or two
before seeking their rest for the morrow 5
work. Should this library not be acces-
sible to them, where may not their even
ings be spent? Perhaps in haunts where
the training may not be such as will
guarantee in the future, citizens of whom
Scranton may be proud, and so we earn
estly ask that each day shall bring a
stream of kindly visitors that will hold
up the hands of those who are striving
to bring up the young of our city in pure
walks and to aid them in bearing the bur-
den of life by putting within their reach
good, pure literature.
