a fire in the supply shaft at the
Bellevue colliery, operated by the Della
ware, Lackawanna and Western COM
pany, yesterday afternoon, for four
hours baffled the efforts of q big gang
of men to eXtinguish it and one of the
incidents of the exciting fight was an
accident to Assistant Mine Foreman
Thomas T.. Williams, whose right hand
was torn nearly from the arm as the
mine carriage was making an upward
trip.
The supply shaft is situated near
the Delaware. LaCkaWanna and West
ern station at Bellevue. The tower
house of this shaft was burned to the
ground about eight years ago and the
fire at that time created widespread
attention, Yesterday the water pipe
which carries fresh drinking water to
the inside mules was frozen by the in
tense cold of Monday night and Nester"
day at noon a gang of machinists under
Isaac Morgan went to the shaft TO thaW
out the pipe.
The pipe runs down the shaft behind
the timbering. The maChinists used
the carriage, stopping at points in the
shaft and thawing the frozen water.

After going down the shaft about sew
entY feet a stop was made and guam
tity of oiled cotton-Waste lighted around
the pipe. When they left at o'clock
it seems that they did not completely
eXtinguish the fire.
FIRE BOSS NOTICED SMOKE.
Shortly afterward Fire Boss Robert
Owens, who was thaWlng the pipe with
steam at the mouth of the Clarke vein
where the pipe runs into the mine, no.
ticed a quantity of smoke that seemed
to come from the shaft, He and a
number of men got on the carriage and
We're hoisted upward. II was at TINS
time that Mine Foreman Williams was
injured. With his miners lamp in ms
hand he was looking for the flre ana
stretching his hand too 1ar IN the
black opening his wrist was squeezed
between the safety dogs ana the
"bon-ton," a piece of timbering IN the
shaft. At the very moment that the
wrist was caught Robert owens luckily
rang the signal bell for stop. If the
carriage had gone upward but a 1eW
inches farther Mr.. Williams hand
would have been torn off. As it was
the wrist was badly crushed and lacer-
home on Hampton street and Will De
confined to the house for two weeks at
least
The ringing of the bell was not be-
cause of the accident. 1t was lucky
coincidence The fire had been discoV-
cred Just at that point and for TINS the
signal to stop was given. The burning
material was found to be the wooden
casing of the pipe. Before the fire was
gotten under control pieces of timber
ten inches square had been burned
through. Water was taken down the
shaft in buckets and at o'clock when
Acting General Mine Superintendent
Thomas ID. Davis arrived at the mine
upon the suggestion of the fire boss
the same water pipe was Intentionally
broken at the top of the shaft and the
falling water quenched the body of the
flames.
FIRE WAS DANGEROUS.
The fire, though small was dangerous.
Down in the new county vein, l2O feet
below. the place of the fire We're a dozen
miners. The vein has no outlet except
the shaft where the fire was and the
smoke was coming down in clouds. The
miners dropped their tools ana ran to

which was stationed in mid shaft as the
the men above fought the fire.
The cries of the men could be heard
by the men on the carriage, but it was
known that they We're not i'm danger
and they were allowed to yell until the
fire was under control, for it the work
was stopped and the carriage sent down
after the men the fire would have
gained so rapidly that it might be i'm
possible to get them all out safely.
AS the burning timber was loosenet
by the blows of the men ON the car

shaft and part of it catching in timber,

We hear a great deal about
purifying the blood. The
way to purify it is to enrich
t. Blood is not a simple
fluid like water. 1t is made
up of minute bodies and
when these are deficient, the
blood lacks the life-giving
principle. SCOTS Emulsion is
not a mere blood purifier. 1t
actually increases the number
of the red corpuscles in the
blood and changes unhealthy
action into health.

word, while the Iowa is the larger shiI
of the two, her armor and armament are
both lighter than those of the Indiana,
These differences in plans are based
upon the fact that while the Indiana lie
intended as a fighting ship, with every
other quality more or less subordinated
to that of ability to give hard and heavy
blows. the Iowa is designed to combine
with the latter quality the attributes OF
an all round sea-going cruiser.
The dimensions of the Iowa are as
follows: Length on the load water line,
$50 feet; extreme breadth, 70 feet 2h
inches; moulded depth, AS inches; mean
draught. "a feet; displacement on nor
NAL draught, II 300 tons, and full coal
capacity of 1880 tons. Contract speed
was 16 knots, with premium of $4,000
for each quarter knot in excess.
Her water line protection is a belt of
Harveyized nickel steel, with a maxi
mum thickness of IA inches. tapering
to inches on the lower edge. The
heaviest armor is 10 inches on the main
barbette. The armored coming tower
is 71s inches thick.
The main battery of the Iowa con-
sists of four Pinch breechloading ri
fles in the two main turrets; eight S-inch
breechloading rifles mounted in pairs in
the four turrerts at the corners of the
casemate; six 4-inch breechloading ri
fies mounted in sponsors or with shields,
and % rapid-fire machine guns.

The Iowa's full war compliment is
512 officers, seamen and marines. The
contract price of the boat was So, 900 900.
Her maximum coal carrying capacity is

of about 10000 knots at the most econom-
ical speed.
