HE FACED
THE BLAST.
Fearful Plight Of a Starter at Boston
Run COlliery.
CASE OF PREMATURE EXPLOSION.
He Had Placed a Stick of Dynamite to
Start a Battery and Before He Could
Turn the Charge Went of-wrl
Probably Die.

John Barrett employed as starter at the
Boston Run collery, met with an accident in
that mine by which he was frightfully cut
and burned about the face and body His
injuries are Of such a severe character that it
is feared he will die. A premature ex plosion
was the cause of the accident
Barrett was using dualin to start a battery
and after introducing a stick of the explosive
was tardy in getting away. The explosion
shattered his right arm from the wrist to the
elbow and amputation will in all probability
be necessary. The victim received the fun
force Of the flying debris and his face
and breast were a mass of terrible cuts
and bruises Barrett suffered intense agony
and moaned piteously as he was removed
from the scene. He was removed TO the
Miners hospital in an ambulance. The un-
fortunate man resides at Mahanoy City and
has a large family.

NO EFFECT HERE.
The Mahanoy Division Of the c. q !. Police
Force Intact.


Contrary to the suppositiou entertained by
many, the meetings that are being held at
Hazleton with a view to a reorganiz ton of
the Coal & Iron police force have no bearing
on the G. a. I. police force in the Mahanoy
district. In connection with the newspaper
reports of the meetings 10 has been stated that
there will very likely be an increase in the
force. This has caused some men in this
district to entertain hopes that they may be
selected for the increase but they are only
wasting their thoughts
The district in which the reorganization is
being discussed is an Independent one in
which the police force is maintained by the
individual operators and Lehigh Valley
Companies in the Luzeme region and the
force is under the control of a distinct head
As a matter OF fact the c. & l. force in
Schuylkill is entirely under the jurisdiction
of the p. & Il. @. & 1. Co., with Capt. Chris
tan, of Pottsville, in command. but by
pro rata arrangement the Lehigh Valley
railroad and coal companies have two
men detailed for its service The Lehigh
Valley company also has special squad Of
three men of its own and il is understood
that the Hazleton reorganization was pre-.
cipitated by an intimation that the company
proposed to pull out Of the Luzerne division
aud depend upon its special and Mahanoy
division force. 1t now appears, however
that the reorganization will be effected upon
a basis by which the Lehigh Valley company
will in all probability combine its special
force with the Luzerne district and name the
head of the force.

schuylISiH Countains Find That the
Webber Estate Exists.
SCHUYLKILL HAVEN, August 13.-The
heirs of John Christian Webber met here
yesterday and made out papers to prove
the claim of American citizens to an estate
Of $45, OOO,0 600 in Holland a thorough inyesti-
CATION in Holland having established the fact
that such an estate exists, and that such
claims may be made good. The documents
were drawn up under instructions from the
Holland government.
More than century ago John Christian
Webber was a wealthy merchant of Antwerp
Angered because his only son had married
against his wishes, he declared that the latter
should never share his wealth. When he
died it was found he had willed his entire
estate to the Holland Government with the
proviso that the money should be returned
with interest to his heirs of the third genera
tion when they became of age. The Govern
ment accepted the trust
Webber's children emigrated to America,
and several years ago put in claim for their
inheritance. This spring A. II, Webber, one
of the principal heirs, called a meeting at
Schuylkill Haven and asked permission to
push the claim at his own expense. This he
was authorized to do, and early in June last
be sailed for Holland He has just returned,
fortified with his proofs and yesterday meet
ing was held at his call. 1--WE expect to have
the money in the United States by the first
of December next" said Mr.. Webber yester-
day. "Our own Government will act as the
distributing agency"
There were present at the meeting heirs
from Pennsylvania New York, Ohio and
