LIGHTNING IN THE NINE.
Four Men Frustrated One Thousand
Feet Under Ground by Rolt.

Shamokin, Pa, July 4.-During a
thunder storm Saturday afternoon
lightning struck the entrance of the
deep slope of the Reliance colliery.
The bolt hit rail ard sped down the
shaft, Four miners-Charlcs Rutz, Will
liam Beck, William Rutz ond Eli Dre-
her-were 1000 feet from the surface.
and saw what they thought was
ball of fire coming. Charles Rutz drop
ped his pick and told his comrades to
press their faces against the bottom
of the gangway; but before they could
follow his advice all were knocked
down.
Presently Dreher recovered. He had
a severe pain when he tried to talk.
The miner thought his mouth had been
blown off, and he was blind. Finally
recovering the power of speech he
called to his companions but received
no answer. Dreher lay quiet for time
and then his strength returned and he
arose. sulphurous odor made him
think that big gas explosion had oc-
Cured. His lamp showed that there
was no explosion, and he found his
companions lying in leap.
William Rutz and Beck revived with
in half an hour. Dreher then di .ected
his attention to Charles Rutz who la
as though dead. He was rubbed and
rolled over the floor and two hours
later could talk, although unable to
walk for some time. Dreher called for
help and miners in breasts close by
aided them to the surface, where they
rapidly became as we'll as ever.

THE MASSACRE OF WYOMING.
Interesting Celebration of the Anni-
versary Of the Battle.

Wilkes Barre, July 4.-The one-hun-
ed-and-nineteenth anniversary of the
massacre of Wyoming was observed
yesterday morning at the monument
erected in memory of the victims.
There was a very large attendance.
The exercises began shortly after 10
o'clock, with prayer by Rev. Wilson
Treble Calvin Parsons, president of
the association, made a short address,
and then the address of the day was
made by Rev. DIR. Henry NJ. Kieffer,
of Easton.
He spoke of the road built by Cen
eral Sullivan from Easton to Wilkes
Barre, and said: 1T is through blood
shed that progress has always been
made Had it not been for the massa-
ere this would have remained an isolat-
ed settlement. The Sullivan road was
the bloody path of the avenser, yet it
opened up the way to the Wilkes Barre
turnpike, later the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna and Western railroad, and the
other great avenues of commerce."
An original poem was read by Homer
Greene, of Honesdale, and DR.. Harry

ment. No one knows where the crumb-
ling bones found their last resting

| an accurate account of the battle,
which has never been done. "No battle
of the Revolution was so ultimate in
its results" he said. "as the massacre

- supposed to be hiding with the girl
somewhere in the mountains near here
The girl lived with her mother near
Providence, and Kent boarded at the
house
Kent had on several occasions told
Mrs. Trevena he loved the girl. She
treated the matter as a Joke at first,
but when she saw Kent was serious
she told him to leave the house. The
girl was intensely afraid of him. Mrs.
Trevena came to this city yesterday
having traced Kent here. She says:
THE girl was sent to the grocery
store on Monday, June 21, but she new
er returned. Kent was hanging about
watching for her and induced her to go
away with him"
The parents learned that the child
was forced to walk from Scranton to
Blnghamton with Kent, sleeping In the
woods and living on what they were
given to eat. Kent Is said to have car
ricd the child part of the way.
Mrs. Trevena's son saw the couple at
l}inghamton, where they told him they
had been married. The little girl, he
said ~ esented a pitiable sight. She
was thin and sick and showed signs of
the terrible treatment she had been
subjected to.
From Binghamton Kent took the
child to New Jersey and from there
brought her to this city, where they
arrived on Thursday night last. They
