WILL FLOOD TWO VEINS.
Plan to Extinguish Fire in the
Ravine Mine at Pittston Has
Been Decided Upon by
officials.

1t was practically decided yesterday
to food two veins of the Ravine col
liery at Pittston, to cxtinguish the fire
that has been burning for several
weeks
Three veins are worked at this COL
liery, the big. third and fourth. Gas
from the fourth found it's way into
the third through a bore hole and
there exploded causing a a fire that has
ragged with a great deal of fury ever
since.
Immense quantities of water have
been turned into the part of the mine
where the fire Is, but still it has not
teen subdued and yesterday at con-
ference of officials and engineers of
the Newton Coal Mining company,
which operated the ravine colliery, and
the Pennsylvania coal company which
operates workings connecting with the
Ravine, 1t was decided that the best
and quickest way to extingush the
fire would be to flood the mines as
soon as proper precautions can be
taken to protect the Pennsylvania
company's workings from the water.
1t was the intention to plug" the
shaft below the big vein and continue
to operate that seam while the lower
veins are being flooded.

LONGS FALL OPENING.
Particular Attention Being Directed
to Millinery DEPARTMENT.

Several thousand persons yesterday
visited the big store of Jonas Longs
Sons, and a large part of the throng
expressed its satisfaction over the
firms fall opening. While it was a
general opening in the sense that all
departments had something attractive
to offer, the day was distinctive for the
special display in the large millinery
department.
Hundreds of observant women We're
given opportunity to ascertain just
what it will be proper to select for
fashionable headgear. They We're also
given a chance to marvel at the stock,
tremendous in quantity and variety,
which this popular store contains.
Some radical changes in styles We're
apparent. The eye-tilted hat has been
relegated to the past; 1t will now be
worn tilted slightly backward, and it's
trimmings will not display the old
burned orange color, either, for that
is now passed and has given place to
the newer and beautiful shades of
blue, military" red, castor and emin-
ence.
In trimmings polka dots are one
prevailing feature. not only on velvets
and ribbons, but on quills as well.
Feathers and quilts will be used to a
great extent, especially speckled and
spotted or guinea feathers, as will jet
ornaments.
In the collection of trimmed hats are
many of foreign design and make
which are attracting no little atten-
ton. Among several designed by Mad
anne Louise, OF Paris, is one of three
fa in,
blue and made to set back from the
face. From puff effect in front taper
two large wings fastened with jet
ornaments. Another creation by Mad
anne Louise is of the English walking
tyle. 1t has brim of black felt
chenille, mixed and folded in three
graceful folds which form the shape.
The crown is artistically draped with
black velvet caught at the side and
front with four ostrich quilts and two
rhinestone ornaments. A bandeauX
effect is attained by the use of two
large punches of black violets.
fawn hat attracted much admira-
tion. 1t is Of castor color. It's fiat brim
is ornamented in front with two white
doves. The crown is raised. It is sur
mounted by a finely pleated coronet
from which hangs yelling of the same
color.
Edward Long, one of the firm, gives
the millinery department of the store
here and the one in Wilkes Barre his
personal and whole attention. He de-
signs the hats for both stores.
The millinery opening may be seen
from the street on a small but hand
some scale in the display window at
the corner of the building. The pre-
vailing colors, styles, trimmings and
ornaments are shown in one of the
richest window displays ever attempt
ed in this city. A novel interior-thea- =
ter effect has been attained by the
decorator in arranging the window.
Two windows on the Wyoming ave-
nue. side are arranged with an attrac-
tive show from the stores dress goods
department.
