VICTIM DIES
A Fatal Result Of the Shenandoah City
COlliery Accident.
The SECOND SUFFERER CRITICAL
Joseph Pof Died This Morning, His Condi-
tion HaYing Changed Suddenly Yes
terday-His Father, the other
Victim, Has Also Suffered
a Change For the
Worst.

Joseph Pof, one of the victims Of the ex-
plosion of mine gas in breast Of the Shen-
andoah City colliery on the morning of the
oath ult died at the Miners hospital at
Fountain Springs this morning, at eight
O'Clock. The indications are that the father
Of the young man, Peter Poff, Sr., who suf-
fered in the same explosion, viii also sue
cumb. The fatal result was a surprise to the
friends Of the victim. For several days
after the sufferers were taken to the hospital
they remained in precarious condition, but
change for the better set in and hopes of
recovery became strong. Yesterday, how
ever, there was a sudden change and the son
commenced to sink rapidly last night.
The remains were sent to town this after
noon and removed to the family residence on
North West street. The funeral arrange
ments will be announced tomorrow. Joseph
Potf would have been 22 years of age on the
23rd of next month. He was an active and
popular member of the St. Michaels Society
Peter PoG Sr., the other victim in the case
is 52 years of age and it is probably his age
and long service in the mines that makes his
case worse, as he did not suffer as much from
the explosion as his son did. The latter was
injured internally. In answer to an inquiry
this morning as to the fathers condition Dr.
J. @. Biddle of the Miners hospital, said
that the patient seemed to be doing very well
until yesterday, when a change for the worse
set in aud his condition became dangerous.
The explosion from which the men suffered
took place while they were in an old breast
searching for sheet iron. They found it and
were digging the sheets from their old
fastenings when the lamp of one of them, it
is not known which, ignited the gas. At
almost the same instant the father threw
himself face-down in the breast, but the son
tried to dash through the gas. 1t was for
this reason that the son suffered the most.
Both were badly burned on the head, face,
hands and arms. The son was also burned on
the back down to the waist, Much sympathy
is expressed for the family of the victims.

BOSTONS
THE WINNERS
Bean Eaters Capture the League Char .
Tllns'ip For 1897.
AN EXCITING GAME IN BROOKLYN
While the Men of the hub Were Piling up
Winning Runs in Brooklyn the
Baltimcreans Were Being De-
feated by the wash
ingtons

Brooklyn, Oct. although Boston
has one more game to play with Brook
lyn and Baltimore will play two more
with Washington at the Monumental
City, the race for the League pennant
of 1897 practically came to an end with
the conclusion Of yesterdays game at
Eastern park Boston won the game,
while Washington trounced the cham
pions, which leaves Boston the undis-
puted champions for 1898 Even should
Baltimore win both games they can
only attain a percentage of 700 points
Should Brooklyn win from Boston to-
morrow the latter would still have a
percentage OF 7O4.
The excitement of yesterdays game
was extraordinary. In the second in
ming, when the Bostons scored five runs,
which gave them a safe lead, men and
women alike arose in their seats and
yelled frantically. When the lead be-
came so great that there was no more
hope for the home team the most faith
full Joined the Bostons and their rooters
and for time nobody could hear any
thing but people yelling "B-o-s-t-o-n."
Young Dunn was put in the box to
fool the new champions, but Captain
Griffin might as well have stood up a
wooden man. The bean eaters had their
batting clothes on, and the faster Dunn
tossed them across the plate the hard
er Captain Duffy men could line the
leather out. The only trouble was that
the batting was all on one side The
home team could do but little with
Klobedanz, the Boston twirler About
the only time they hit him with any
effect was in the third inning, when
they scored all their runs
The fielding, like the batting, too, was
one sided. Brooklyn made only four
actual errors, but then some of the
players are guilty of some of the most
stupid plays seen in many days. Bos-
tons work in the field was simply mar
velous. Nothing seemed too hard for
them to get. Lowe and Long alone cut
off four hits by their brilliant fielding.
Score by innings:
Boston ............O 2 o al 0 1-t2
Brooklyn ..........0 0 3 0 o. z

To the boy Who loves the sea-and
every healthy boy who knows anything
about it does-there is something high
ly attractive in the work of harbor
pilot. He cruises about off shore in
his trim little schooner with no cares
except the sailing of his handy boat
until a shorebound vessel comes in
sight. AT the pilots signal she must
lie to unSil he comes on board. Once
on her decks, whether she be a coast
ing sailer or the biggest and proudest
of ocean liners, the pilot is for the time
being her absolute master. Even the
captain is contented to follow his di-
rections. He carries hundreds of lives
and millions of property in his hands,
and does it all with the serene con-
fidence born of absolute knowledge of
his task. Arrived in port, he has shore
leave for a few days, until his ship is
ready to clear again. Then he sails
her out of the harbor and returns once
more to his coy home among the
dashing pillows.
OF course, there is another side to
the picture-of death that comes swift
and relentless in the storm, of STANDING
watch in blizZardS that encase one with
a sheet of ice, and of weary tasks that
make up the daily round of life on
shipboard; but that is not the side
that appeals to the boy, and so he signs
to be an ocean pilot.
But it is no easy thing to gain admit
tance to this craft. The number of
deep-water. pilots in all our ports is
comparatively small. The Sandy Hook
Pilots association, which includes all
the men who guide vessels into New
i York harbor, counts about $50 men. In

Yes" responded Frank and Harry
together, and the runaway episode was
never referred to again by any member
of the family.
But, although the matter was dropp d
by their parents, their brief but bitter
experience as runaWays was never for
gotten by either Frank or Harry, and it
taught than valuable lesson. which
bore good fruit through all their after
lives
