pERI4S OF
THE MINERS
Four Burned in the Lawrence COllie~y
This Morning.
GAS EXPLODED AFTER A FALL
Three Of the Victims Were But Slightly
Injured-Fire Follows the Explosion.
Miner Killed in a Slope at the
North Mahanoy Colliery.

-Four men were burned by an explosion of
gas at the Lawrence colliery, Mahanoy Plane,
at 1920 o'clock this morning, but fortunately
only one of them was dangerously injured.
The victims were Henry Horn, Samuel
Stout, Hugh Harkins and John Walaitis, the
latter a Lithuanian. All tho men are mar
ried and reside at Frackville. They wero
burned about the face and hands. Horn suf-
fered the most, being severely burned about
the head.
The men were engaged in timbering an
airway between the fourth gsngway and the
second lift counter Of the mine when a fall
of coal occurred in No. 3 breast, displacing
the gas in the airway.
The officials of the mine say the men were
working without safety lamps, contrary to
the orders of the inside foreman.
Breast No. 3, which is up 1926 feet, is on
fire and was causing the mine officials no
little apprehension this afternoon.
Mine Inspector William Stein was at the
Lawrence colliery when the explosion oc.
Cured and under his direction hose was
placed in position to e%xtinguish the fire in
the breast. The Inspector spent tho most OF
the afternoon on the scene.

Buck Mountain, had his right leg broken

MALONE AN MIGRATE
Robbed the Mar Who Kept Him Out of
jail.

Robbed the Man Who Kept Him Out of
jail.
Patrick Malone is rapidly becoming a con-
s%picuous character in the Justices courts of
town and his name will be quite familiar
when the cases are called at the next term of
the Pottsville criminal court. Malone's
weakness is drink and he will steal to get it.
But a few weeks ago Malone was arrested
and committed in default of bail for stealing
a violin. Shortly after he was taken out of
the Jail and brought to town by Constable
Giblon to plead to a charge of having assisted
another young man in breaking open a
freight car at the Lehigh Valley depot and
stealing about forty powder kegs, prior to the
stealing of the violin.
1t was learned that in each instance Malone
had sold the booty and purchased drink with
the proceeds. Daniel Bradley pitied Malone
on account of his weakness and furnished
bail to keep him from going back to Jail.
The old story of the dog biting the hand
that feeds it was exempted in Malone's case.
Monday night Malone stole a revolver and
watch from Bradley's house. A warrant
was issued but Malone could not be found.
Yesterday afternoon he reappeared at
Bradley's house. He was drunk and sought
n place of rest. Bradley's sympathy had
vanished and he notified the police. Malone
was arrested by Policemen Hester and Foltz
and taken to the lookup. The stolen re-
volver was taken from his person, but the
watch could not be found. 1t had evidently
been sold or pawned for the drink that en-
abled Malone to get on the last drunk.
This morning Malone was given a hearing
before Justice Shoemaker ON Bradley's
charge and committed in default of $500
bail.

and other Places.

ana btheG BlhCes.
The usual revival of alterations and i'm.
provements attending the closing of the
winter season has developed and builders,
painters and other workers are actively en-
gagged in several parts of the town, notably
at the Methodist Episcopal church, which is
to be transformed in interior appearance.
Some time ago it was found necessary to
have improvements made in the building.
The ladies of the congregation we're the first
to realize this and collected sufficient money
to put new carpet on the entire floor of the
church. At about the same time it was
found necessary to have some repairs made
to the walls and this work is now in hand.
These steps set others in the congregation to
thinking and suggestions were soon forth
coming that the difficulty of getting Baskets
into tho entrance of the church should be
reinedied.
The matter was taken under consideration
and it was suggested that an entrance to the
church be made on the White street side. A
meeting of the congregation was held a few
evenings ago, resulting in a visit being made
by a committee to Ashland to inspect the
Methodist Episcopal church there, and the
local congregation voting to advise the
official board of the church to proceed with

IN THE HOUSE.
The Deficiency Pension Bill Passed
without Debate.

WASHINGTON, May 1S.-The House
adjourned to-day after a session last
ing only half an hour. An Intellectual
effort was made to pass a bill prohibit
ing the publication of information con-
corning the strength of the country
Notifications. Without a word of de-
bate the deficiency pension bill was
passed.
When the House met the bill max
ing it a grave penal offense for any
person to photograph or make public
at any time the strength of fortifica-
tions of the United States was taken
up.
McEwen of New Jersey offered an
amendment making the law operative
only in time of war.
The bill was discussed at some length
by Messrs. Bailey, Hall, Belknap, Ben
nett. Savers, Bland, Cox, Dockery and
Perkins.
Referring to recent publication in a
New York paper, Belknap said: While
this miserable wretch (referring to the
alleged spy Downing) was hanging
himself l am told this paper was
spreading broadcast to the world the
exact location of every mine in New
York harbor"
Bland attacked the bill as infring-
ing upon the freedom of speech and
liberty of the press, and. therefore, he
deemed it unconstitutional.
The amendment offered by McEwan
was defeated, and a motion to recon-
nit was made by Connolly OF Illinois,
which prevailed, the bin falling to pass.
The pension deficiency bill, without
debate, was then passed.
