tieabilIty OF the cable has been shown by

feeling that the time for laying the cable

Kinley attended the Walnut Hill Methodist
Episcopal church at the morning service
today. The announcement had been made
that the doors would open at 1870 o'clock

front doors. BY 1915 the church pews
were almost filed by church members who

Mr.. August Nessel. a prominent member
OF the church. and was followed by Score
tary j. Addison Porter. Col. Myron IT. Her
rick, OF Cleveland. and j. G. Schmidiap, Of
this city. There was disappointment at
the failure of Mrs. Mckinley to accom-

that the condition OF her health forbade
her attendance.

THE NINE A SEA OF FIRE.
six Men Driven Back by the Flames
Ia BE SufToeafed ny the smoke.

SCRANTON, Pa. Oct. 3l.-The most IA
tai mine disaster in the Laekaw2nna or
Wyoming eoal fields since the Twin shaft
horror at Plttston, over year ago. was
developed in the fire which Quilted the
river slope OF the Delaware & Hudson
companys Won Storch mine IN this city
Saturday. AT least six men are known TO
have been suffocated by smoke. aud pos
sibly one other, a Pole, is numbered among
the dead.
The dead are:
THOMAS HILL.
JOHN FARRELL
JOHN FRANCIS MORAN.
MIKE WALSH
JOHN MDONALD.
THOMAS PADDEN.
The slope extends down through three
veins. The missing men were AT work In
the deck and surface veins. the former
100 and the latter sixty feet from the sur
face. They had but two avenues Of es-
cape. The shorter route was by way OF
the slope. which was sea of flames for
nearly twelve hours. and is yet burning
near It's foot. and the other route was via
crosseuts 10 gangways which led TO an
air Shaft nearly a mile from the spot
where the men were working. Fire kept
them out of the slope. and the smoke
which backed out and into all the work
ings prevented escape through the cross
cuts. The supposition is that the men
were suffocated.
Eighteen men, II Is thought. were in the
mine when the fire was discovered at 20
o'clock this morning. Only ten of this
number are known 20 have been holsted
through the air shaft.
Chief Hickey, OF the Scranton fire de-
partment. and eight fTemen, narrowly
escaped death in the slope today.
Joe Yamaski. one of the seven men en-
tombed in the mine. was rescued at 10
o'clock tonight. The bodies of the other
men were afterwards found and brought
to the surface.
