rhree More Minors KILLED.

Nanticoke, Pa, Sept. 24.-By a rush
of coal in No. l shaft yesterday three
men were entombed and probably in
stantly killed. They were: George H.
Morgan, aged "a years; John Shannon,
aged 80, and John A. Jones, aged 2s.
Two other miners, John Woolford and
John Jones, narrowly escaped with
their lives. Morgan, with the other
four men, was driving a rock plane In
the shaft, and had driven 1t about
50 feet above the adjoining chamber,
which had been worked full and played
out. This chamber was about 1S0 feet
from the main gangway and a stout
box had been built around the pillars
to prevent a rush of coal. 1t is sup
posed that this box gave way, Morgan
Shannon and John A. Jones were
working in the plane, and it is feared
that they were caught directly in the
rush.

LIVELY
SCENES !
A Woman Gives Two COnStableS a
Spirited Race.
THEY TRIED TO ENTRAP THEM
Both Schemes Amiss and the Daughter Of
waywardnesE Spent Night in the
Lockup--The snappings of
Dog Causes a Street
Fight.

There were two lively scenes in town late
yesterday afternoon that attracted no little
attention. One was brought about by a
woman who was thwarted in her determina-
tion to outwit two cOnstables, and the other
arose from saloonkeeper assaulting man
who hit his dog.
In the first case warrant was sworn out
before Justice Shoemaker by Catherine Sey-
bert and Annie HrOmin, charging Fannie
Allendina with being a general disturber of
the peace and maintaining common and ill
governed house to the encouragement of vile
ness. The defendant was also charged with
threatening to blow up one of the accusers
with dualiu. All the parties reside at Tur-
key Run.
As the accused has the reputation of being
fighter it was deemed advisable to send two
officers after her and Constables Dando and
Phillips were assigned to the task They
found the woman at her home in Turkey
Run, but granted her permission to go up
stairs and put on her Sunday attire While
the officers were awaiting her return the
woman slipped out of her house and was not
discovered until she secured a good lead in
running eastward along the mountain top
The constables gave chase, but they had Il
run as far as Everett's farm before they ovel
TOOK the fugitive.
On the return trip the woman was yer!
companionable. She chatted pleasantly will
the officers and didn't give them the slight
est trouble until she stepped on the platform
Of the Penna. X. X. depot when she threy
herself down and screamed until larR
crowd gathered. She declared that Constable
DaudO had kicked her several times in til,
back, a charge that was entirely unfounded
The woman knew the neighborhood was
thickly populated with her people and hoped
to create feeling against the officers that
would result in a rescue, but in this she failed
and was carried to the lookup. Tho woman
spent the night in a cell and this morning
was given a hearing before Justice Shoe
maker, who put her under bail for trial at
! court.
The scene of the second disturbance was at
the corner of Main and Cherry streets.
Joseph Wierczak, d salOonkeeper at that
place, owns a dog that attacked Charles
Hildebrant, who was passing at the corner.
The latter had hammer in one of his hands
and he threw it at the vicious animal. The
hammer missed the dog, but in bouncing
struck a child, which fortunately escaped
injury. The dog made second rush at Hide
brant, and this time the latter threw pair of
shears at the animal. The aim was true and
the dog ran yelping into the saloon. Wier-
czak, it is alleged, ran out with companion
named Wentz and in the clash that followed
Hildebrant was choked and beaten. He
swore out warrants for his assailants and
they are under bail.

The little village of Ringtown to-day
witnessed one of tho liveliest demonstrations
it has seen for many years. Several months
ago the influential citizens decided to equiv

it was drawn through the town by gaily dec

the hose was played on the flames. The en-

1t is now believed that the demand for
anthracite coal, owing to the approach OF
winter will be largely increased, and that
the mines and railroads will be kept busy
preparing it and hauling it to the market
from now on to the middle of December.
Coal crews on the Reading are working full
time again, and an order has been issued by
the Lehigh to start double crews on that road,
and this means that coal will be hauled night
and day An order of this nature has not
been issued by that company for years, and
it leads to the belief that the railroads expect
a good trade in anthracite.
