At LEAST SEVEN DEAD.
Miners Shut in Mine by Smoke and
Planes


SCRANTON. PA, oct 30-The most
fatal mine disaster in the Lackawanna
or Wyoming coal fields since the Twin
Shaft horror at Pittston, over year
ago, was developed in the fire which
gutted the river slope OF the Delaware
and Hudson COmpany's Won Storch mine
in this city to-day. At least seven men
are known to have been suffOcated by
smoke, and possibly one other, Po-
lander, Is numbered among the dead.
The dead are: Thomas Hih, married,
fOrty-five years of age; John Farrell,
widower, forty-fve years old, company
man: John Francis Moran. twonty-one
years old driver: Michael Walsh, single,
twenty-five years old. labOrcr; John Nc
DOnnell. single, twcnty-scvcn years old,
miner: Joseph Yomkaski, Polish laborer;
Thomas Padden. single, twenty-four years
Of age.
The slope extends down through three
veins. The missing men were nj work IN
The deck and surface veins, the former
100 and the latter 90 feet from the sur
face. They had but two avenues Of es-
cape. the shorter route was by way of
the slope, which was a sea OF flames Tor
nearly twelve hours. and is yet burning
near its foot. and the other route was
via cross cuts TO gangWays, which lead
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 the
workings. prevented escape through the
cross cuts, so the supposition is that the
men were suffOcated
Eighteen men, IL is thought, were I'm
the mine when Pump Runner Simpkins
detected smoke in the slope and ran back

o'clock this morning. only ten Of this
number are known 10 have been hoistcd

other men were afterwards found and

ment. though the Germans claim there
was no evidence against him.

went 10 tho President OF Hayti. August
Simon Sam, and demanded I'm the name
OF the German Emperor that Mr.. lyndcrs
be set at liberty and also demanding for

ing that for every day Iynders was kept

At first the liaytian President refused
TO grant the German Minister'S demand.
and Mr. Lynders remained six days lon-
ger I'm prison. The German Minister then
notified the Haytian government that he
had broken OF an diplomatic relations

averted by sending Mr.. Lynders. who was
threatened with lynching. on board
