School Teachers After Money.

From the Hazleton Plain Speaker.
Hazle township school teachers are
looking to the treasurer for money, but
when he will be able to cash their orders
is puzzling question to every member
OF the board. Salaries for the last term
are due and many of the ex-teachers are
anxious for a settlement. Then, too,
teachers who were reapponted do not
know when their salary for the first
month of the present term is to be paid.
Halle township was never before In so
pitiable a condition financially and
otherwise as it is today. In fow years
the term has diminished from ten to eight
months and it is a question whether the
board will be able to pay them for eight
months service. Corruption existed
heretofore as charged against the various
boards, but it has coupled with it today
mismanagement, which is bringing
about an alarming state of affairs.

THREE MINERS ENToMBEO.
Sudden Rush of Coal In Nanticoke
Shaft Buried Three Men.


Three men were entombed In No. /
shaft Of the Susquehanna Coal Com
pany, at Nantlcoks, Friday afternoon.
They are: John Shannon, aged 80, has
a wife and one child; John A. Jones,
aged 2s, single; George A. Morgan, aged
81, has wife and three children.
These men, with John Jones and
John Wolford, were engaged In driving
plane in one Of the lower workings in
order to get out some coal which was
gangway. The work was very Danger
Gus owing to the plano being very steep
and the coal through which 1t was cut
being loose and running, 80 that at any
time rush OF coal might occur. To
guard against this box had been built
to hold back any which might come
down.
Shannon, Morgan and John A. Jones
were some distance back when the acci,
dent occurred. Wolford and his com
panion heard a sudden crash, followed
by prolonged roar, and at once knew
what had happened. The coal was
rushing down upon them. They ran
for their lives and escaped just In time
Once out Of danger, they waited ex-
pectantly for their companions, but they
did not come. Knowing they could do
nothing, they carried the news to the
surface. Assistant Superintendent Ton
kin and Inside Superintendent Edwin
Davis at once organized rescuing party
and they have been at work since.
While IL is generally believed that the
sntombed men have been killed, there is
a chance OF their being alive. In It's
descent the coal may have blocked, and
II this occurred the men may be in
safe place. AS the coal is loose, they
get plenty OF air and might live for
several days.
Later.-Late on Saturday night tho
bodies OF the three men were recovered.
All were dead.
