North Side Notes

At Mount Carmel Baptist Church the
crowd Was not very good, owing to the
big meeting at Shiloh where a great
number of wagon and buggies went
from this section
At $50 O'Clock the Sunday School
had full attendance and great inter-
est was manifested. Deacon r. j Bass,
assistant superintendent of LIST Baptist
Sunday School, was with us and deliv-
cred a very timely address to the boy 5
and girls.
At l1:3O there was preaching by
Brother h. J Bass. He discoursed
beautifully on Persecution and its
Reward" His text was from Mat
thew $40. This was the first time we
have heard Brother Bass and every
body desire to hear him again, especi
ally the young children.
AT $3.50 o'clock Rev. William Harris
preached a very practical sermon from
Proverbs 1927, and he eas listened to
with much interest. 1t is not often we
hear this eminent divine and wish he
would come Oftener.
At 80 o'clock Rev George Johnson
of River View, preached from the text,
COlossians 3:l1, subject, Christ is all
in all" The Reverend was plain in his
remarks, giving III congregation to
und erstand as Rev Viii was away in
Boston he was gong I'd preach IN his
own way and right royalty did he do it
The advice given to us was very
good and should be adhered to. We

DEADLY BLACK DAMP.
It Results in the Death of Five
Men Near Rendham, Pa.
WE'RE FIGHTING A MINE FIRE.

when Stricken by Death the Men We're
EndeayorinE 60 Make Their Way TO

Ignorant Hungarians.
Scranton. Pa. Sept. 29.-Ffve men
yesterday afternoon met horrible
death from BLACK damp after the ac-
cumulatlon Of fire in the Jermyn No. I

Since last Tuesday the fire had been
raging In the mine. The men who lost
their lives represented one shift"
They went on duty at o'clock. and
nobody knew OF their death until the
discovery OF the lifeless bodies. Not
a man In the party survived TO tell the
story. In the case OF each body the
head pointed toward the shaft, indi-
eating that they had CROPPED and strug-
gled toward the shaft for fresher air
while sunocation was overtaking them.
When the catastrophe was discovered
word was passed to the surface. and
the excitement was intense. Gangs Of
men were lowered on the mine car
riage, and at $3.50 last evening all the
bodies excepting that OF the fire boss
had been brought one by one TO the
surface. The scene at the head OF the
shaft was tragical for a time. while
wives. mothers and children in frenzy
fought for a sight OF the bodies in the
possibility OF learning that more than
the actual number had lost their lives
The colliery employed about 800 men.
The mine consists OF three veins. on
Tuesday OF last week a gang OF ig-
norant Hungarian miners set or 4
body OF gas In the "Digwoods" counter.
Nobody was injured by the explosion.
The burst OF flame ignited the coal In
the counter. and an attempt to extin-
guish the flames was begun. The pres
ence of the deadly black damp was not
suspected, and no fear OF a widespread
blaze until Monday. The spread OF the
flames was then found to be beyond
the Efforts to subdue them by ordinary
process, and the order was given to
close the mine. A systematic fire
Tight" wes started. and three eight
hour shifts were set at work The IA
tai mission OF the shift which entered
the mine at o'clock yesterday after
noon was not known until the supply
party found the first body.
