CARS DOWN A SHAFT.
A Careless Engineer Backs His
Train Into Building Over
a Coal Pit.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Nov. 5.-Seven men
were killed and three fatally injured at
the Exeter collier of the Lehigh Valley
Coal ompan at West PittstOn, near
here today. The accident was due to the
alleged carelessness of Engineer David
Price, who, acting in disobedience Of posi-
tive orders, caused three cars TO run into
the top of the shaft. These cars, loaded
and weighing eleven tons, fell down the
36O-foot shaft and crashed with frightful
force upon the carriage carrying ten men.
Seven were almost instantly killed. They
are:
MICHAEL SMITH, 50 years. miner; mar
ried, leaves widow and four children.
ANDREW TINKO, 40 years, miner, mar
ried, leaves widow and six children.
MICHAEL PoDEsABANNY, % years,

The injured are:
William Pu1os, miner, internal injuries.
Joseph Winsler, laborer, head and back
lacerated.
Paul Lecksnones, laborer, confusion of the
spine.
The accident occurred as the men were

ten. At the same time Engineer Price,
in charge of a little dinkey engine. was
shifting loaded cars from the New Red
Ash shaft, several hundred yards away,
to the Exeter breaker.
This track approached the head of the
Exeter shaft and az q distance of thirty
feet from it curved gently to the right
and around the shaft to the breaker. At
the point where this track commence to
curve was a switch and the thirty feet of
track leading to the head of the shaft
was used for storing crippled cars. Close
to the head of the shaft it was closed by
a head block.
Prices orders were to approach the
breaker with the engine at the head of
the train. n few days ago he was caught
pushing the cars and was threatened with
discharge for disobeying orders. Today
he did the same thing. The train was
going at good speed, when, instead of
curving around the shaft. the cars dashed
onto the SPUR, the switch being open.
Price reversed the engine, but it was too
late. The cars struck the head block.
smashed it and three of them toppled
down the shaft.
About twenty feet from the bottom
they struck the carriage with awful force,
completely wrecking it. The mass Of
wreckage fell to the foot OF the shaft,
choking it, and when, after hard work,
the men were eXtricated, seven were dead
and three were fatally hurt. The in
jured were taken to the hospital.

THE ROOF CAVES IN.
Six Bodies Have Been Removed
from the Debris at
Detroit.

Detroit, Mich, Nov. 5.-The roof Of
the New Wonderland theater collapsed at
lao p. m. today, carrying down the iron
galleries of the structure and d great
mass of scafolding and debris.
Some twenty-five men were working
under the collapsed parts of the struc-
ture. Scarcely any of these seem TO
nave escaped injury. The bodies of SIX
dead men nave already been recovered.
Several others are fatally injured. The
side wall of the four-story structure is
bullying t~hreateningly and the front of
the building, although still upright. is
considered dangerous.
The hospital ambulances are busy car
rying away the dead and the wrecked
theater is surrounded by a great crowd
of people.
The theater was to have been occupied
by j. II. Moore's Wonderland. The new
building is owned by the Barbour estate.
1t is situated On Monroe avenue adjoining
the new Detroit Opera house and oppo-
site, the city hall.
The names of the dead have not yet
been accurately ascertained, but the am
bulance surgeons say that fifteen are GER
tainly dead.
AS nearly as can be ascertained the
cause of the accident was the removal of
the temporary wooden braces which sup
ported the roof. The instant the last one
was taken down, the whole roof caved in
with a crash, carrying everything in the
interior of the building to the basement

CATTLE r DIPPED.
Southern Quadrupeds Given a Hy-
gienic Bath Before They
Come North.

st. Louis, Mo-, Nov. 5.-The first reg
ular ca ttle-dipping ever lone in the North
under the recent quarantine regulations
passed by the United States government
has been conducted at the st. Louis ma
tional ~stockyards. The law provides that
when Southern cattle are dipped in a so
luton of petroleum and sulphur they can
be moved through the quarantine line
without restriction.
The first lot immersed consisted of sew
enty-tWo calves, and they came out of
their hygienic bath looking none the
worse for their experience, il exactly
thirty-siX minutes. The work was I'm
der the direction of DR.. Brougham, chief
government inspector at the national
s~tockyards and was so successful that
ITO head of older cattle got a bath with
equally good results. After the dipping
the cattle were all passed by the in
spector and can now be shipped the same
as native cattle.

TT WAS EXPECTED.
Latest Phase Of the Peace Me-
gOtiationS Causes No Com
ment at Washington.

Washington, d. c., Nov. 5.-The re-
ports the state department has received
from the peace commissioners in Paris
indicate that that body has proceeded in
exactly the line anticipates; consequent
ly the action of yesterday was not a dis
appointment. 1t was fully expected that
the Spanish commissioners would endeav-
or to make better terms than those of
fered by the American commissioners.
1t was not expected that they would
close at once with the American propo-
sition.
While they have not, in exact terms,
submitted a counter proposition, the Span
iards, by entering upon the argument Of
the American proposition, have shown q
disposition to negotiate relative to the
Philippines, which shows to be one
the prediction that they would indig-
nantly spurn any proposition that con-
templated a REIMBURSEMENT of Spanish
sovereignty over the archipelago. 1t is
quite probable the way is now open to a
compromise between the two sides. and
that a monetary difference will be found
to be the only one of substance.
This. it is believed, is represented by
the difference between about S40,0 900.
probably the maximum allowance which
the United States will be willing to pay
to Spain for the improvements in the
Philippines, and 5000, 600. 600 which rep
reSents. about the minimum of the Span
ish claim for compensation on account of
the cession of the entire group. With
about $3.50, 600 at stake in this issue,
it will be seen that there is fair reason
to expect that the negotiations at Paris
between the two parties will not be
Sneedily terminated.

THE MARIA TERESA LOST
Report that the Cruiser Foundered
on Northern Journey.
SPANISH RELIC is GONE
She was the Only Warship Which
Had Been Saved from Ger
vera's Fleet.

Charleston, S. c., Nov. 5.-The ocean
tug Merritt put into Charleston this
morning for supplies. She reported the
loss of the cruiser Maria Teresa raised
by Constructor Hobson recently, off San
Salvador, Bahamas, November 1, in the
midst of a furious storm.
The cruiser left Caimanera, Cuba, on
the morning of October 80 in tow for
New York. She had already passed Cape
Maysi and started northeast around the
Bahamas.
A furious storm, warning of which had
already been sent out, overlook her, and
in her condition she was unable to wealth
er the gale. The strain opened rents in
her hull which had merely been patched
to enable her to make the Journey and
she began to fill rapidly.
The Merritt took off Capt. Harris and
the crew from the sinking ship and she
soon went down. The Merritt brought
the captain and 1856 men, who will pro-
coed north by rail. No lives were lost as
far as known.
The Merritt is now at quarantine, six
miles from the city, communication with
her being difficult.
Survivors Come Ashore.
Later in the day the Merritt arrived
from quarantine and the survivors of the
Maria Teresa came ashore. They lost
all clothing and personal effects and are
supplied scantily.
The Teresa sunk thirty miles off Wall
ing island at noon Tuesday, after battling
with the gale six hours. She met the
storm Tuesday morning and the vessel
began to strain in the high seas.
Parts of the hull thought to be safe be-
came weakened, the rivets broke and the
water made rapid progress in the hold.
The boilers began to give way and final
~ the water eXtinguiShed the fires in the
engine room.
The pumps would not work. The whole
vessel showed signs of a collapse and the
men stood stripped awaiting orders to quit
the ship.
The Vulcan was towinc the Teresa
while the Merritt rescued Ia of the
crew, made up of volunteers from the
Cincinnati, Newark and Vulcan. The
ropes were then cut and she then rapidly
filed.
The Vulcan and Leonidas deserted the
Merritt, which put into Charleston with
the rescued. Capt. Crittenden and Capt.
Lace Of the Merritt had arms sprained.
The crew left this afternoon for Nor
folk.

WITHOUT AN ENGINEER
Startling Discovery Made oy the
Fireman on a Fast Express
Stops the Train.

Alliance, O., Nov. 5.-Joseph Desmond,
fireman on a Pittsburg, Fort Wayne &
Chicago locomotive drawing a fast pas
senger train last night near Columbiana,
o., suddenly discovered that Engineer w.
II. Sourbeck was not at his post, nor on
the engine. The train was running at a
high rate of speed at the time. The fire
man promptly shut off steam and stopped
the train. Conductor Holloway ordered
the train run back and Engineer Sour
beck was found lying unconscious beside
the track with his skull badly fractured.
His injuries will likely prove fatal. 1t is
thought he climbed out upon the running
board, and losing his balance, fell to the
ground. Sourbeck is one of the oldest
and best-known passenger engineers on
the road. He was taken to the Allegheny
hospital.

IS AN ALLY OF TURKEY.
Germany to Help Maintain Gross
and Crescent.
KAISER AND SULTAN.
One of the Results of Emperor Will
1iam's Journey to the
Holy Land.

Berlin, Nov. 5.-The Frankfort Zeitung
says it learns from a well-informed source
that Emperor Williams visit to Turkey
led to an agreement by which Germany
undertakes to support the integrity Of the
Sultan's Asiatic possessions, for which
Germany will receive commercial and in
dustrial privileges.
The paper adds that it is believed this
agreement is tantamount to an armed al
lance between the two countries.
A number of rumors as to the real OBJ
jects of Emperor Williams visit to Con-
stantinople and the Holy Land have been
ii circulation ever since the intention of his
majesty to visit the Orient was announced,
about a year ago. These alleged purposes
Included important railroad concessions to
Germany, the ceding of territory in Syria
to Germany for colonizing purposes, the
ceding of the port of Half. in Palestine,
the ceding of the island of Rhodes to Ger
many, and the granting TO Germany of
the right to plant a large German colony
along the whole frontier at Tripoli-
This last agreement it was added was
intended 10 protect the Sultan against
French encroachmenta across the Tripoli-
Tunis frontier, and would also avoid
granting Germany a concession in Asia
Minor, which, it is added, would induce
Russia to demand compensation.
On the other hand it has been an
nounced that some of the powers have no
tilted Turkey that she will not be permit
ted to cede any territory to Germany. and
Russia, it was announced from Berlin on
Saturday last, was arriving at an under
standing with Austria and France to pro-
vide against the accomplishment Of certain
German plans in the Orient.
Beyrout, Nc7. 5.-The Emperor and
Empress of Germany arrived here to-
day, but they will remain on board the
imperial yacht Hohenzollern until Mon
day, when they will start for Damascus.
The heat is tropical. Before embarking
at Jaffa, Emperor William promised his
protection to the German eolonists at that
place, who cheered his majesty enthusiast
fically.

OZONE IN CLEAN CLOTHES.
Simple Method of ~Freshening the Air
Of a Sickroom.

A. " AAC al
Of a Sickroom.
Almost everyone has noticed the pecu-
liarly refreshing smell of clean linen, es-
pecially when just taken from the lines
and brought indoors. 1t is not SO general
~ known how valuable is the connection
between this cool and grateful odor and
the ozone which is so necessary in a sick
room. The London Lancet, a standard
medical authority, contains an article on
this subject, in which it is stated that the
atmosphere Of dn apartment may be
charged with ozone by bringing into it
damp linen sheets that have just been ex-
posed to a dry, sharp wind. Bringing
them into the house and shaking them or
waving them about in the air of the room
will, according to the statements made,
change the character of the air. This is
a matter of Importance to invalids, who
often become exhausted from lack of
ozone in the air they breathe. a means
so simple and effective and one that is
within the reach of every person should
be generally understood. 1t seems that
all that is necessary is to bring the linen
to the room Immediately after it is taken
from the lines out of doors and shake and
whirl it about, when the character of the
air will be altered at once. Hospital at
tendants oftentimes remark how readily
a patient will drop into a quiet sleep af-
ter bed linen has been renewed. The
cause is doubtless to De found in the
ozone released from the sheets newly
washed and aired.
