scranton, Pa, Nov. 2. The most

year ago, which developed i'm the fire
wnich gntted the river slope of the
Deiaware 4 Hudson company's Won
Stonch mine III this city. At least sew
en- men are known TO have been suffo-
Gated by smoke, and possibly one 9TH
er is numbered among the dead.
Inc slope extends down through
three veins. The missing men were at
work IN the deck and surface veins
the former 100 and the latter GO feet
IRON the surface. They have but two
avenues of escape. The shorter was
by way of tie slope. which was a sea
Of flames for nearly twelve hours, and
is yet burning near its foot. and the
otnef route was via crosS-cuts to gang
ways 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 the workings prevented
escape through the cross-cuts.
The suppOsition is that the men were
suffocated. Eighteen men it is thought
were in the mine when Pump Runner
Simpkins detected smoke in the slope
and ran back in the workings to give
the alarm at LOO O'clock this morning.
only ten of this number are known to
have been hoisted through the air
shaft. Miners and city firemen in their
efforts to fight the fire were handi-
capped by several extensive falls of
roof, caused by the burning of the tim
berS, and by the fear Of forcing the air
current downward instead of upward.
When the current was forced inward
the flames were quenched for a dis
lance of 600 feet down the slope, but
the smoke was driven into all parts of
the mine.
The workers were threatened by
falls of roof and the squeezing of
the walls. The report that the bodies
of the men had been recovered is un-
trae, and the mine officials say it may
be days or weeks before the bodies are
found. 1t is thought the fire started
from a miners lamp worn by n of
a party of ten miners who walked up
the slope to the surface forty minutes
before the smoke was discovered.
SnleI HICKEY, OF tHe IRE
department, and eight men narrowly
escaped death in the slope. They We're
driving the smoke before them 10y the
use of water from a big spray nozzle
when the air current was changed at
the shaft and the smoke envelOped the
party. They CROPPED their way 200 feet
TO the opening and collapsed in the
open air.
Later-Joseph Yomaski, ~ of the
men entombed in the mine, has been
rescued. The bodies of the other men
were afterward found and brought to
the surface.

with his wife when some one opened
the door and shot at him. He says he
pulled his 45-caliber revolver from be-
meath his pillow and fired, but in his
excitement he did not raise his arm
far enough and shot his wife through
the head. The police doubt the story

having retired for the night. 1t is said
