ANOTHER VICTIM DIES.
Second of the Mahanoy CITY CoIliery suf-
ferers Died To-day.


Stephen Sileslki, one of the victims of the
explosion in the Mahanoy City collery on
the 9th inst, died at the Miners hospital
this morning. The remains were sent to the
family of the deceased at MahanOy City this
afternoon.
Sileski is the man who ignited the gas that
caused the first of the two explosions by
which eleven men suffered. Sileski and his
butty went up into an old breast to get plank
and carried a naked lamp. The butty died
on Thursday, last
No inquest has been held in the case. The
Deputy Coroner at Mahanoy City got jury
together last Thursday night, but nothing
was done, as it was deemed advisable to have
the Nine Inspector present. The jury ad-
jOuIned without fixing date.
Patrick Brennan, the driver boy who was
terribly injured in the explosion, is doing
nicely at the hospital. 1t was first thought
that all the victims but Brennan would re-
cover. The boy suffered fractures of the
skull leg and arm and was unconscious for
three days following the accident. Now his
condition is so much improved that the Off
cials at the hospital believe he will recover.
Most of the eight other victims have
recovered, and some of them have resumed
work

NERVOUS PRosTRATIoN.

Nervous prostraton is widespread afflic-
tion in these days Of bustle and hurry. Every
body is rushing, consequently men and
women overwoIk themselves, do not get
enough of sleep, are careless about their food
and neglect hygienic laws. By and by they
find they are all run down and threatened
with nervous prostration They begin to
take remedies which do them no good and
soon their condition is pitiable indeed. Skill
and experience, however, can restore the lost
health. DR.. Greene, 80 West 18th St., New
York City, the famous specialist, has cured
thousands of such cases. Get his advice if
you are in this condition You can consult
DR.. Greene by letter, free. 1t costs you moth
ing to get his advice. Write to him at once
ard you will soon be in the way of recovering
your lost health

Home From Alaska.

Richard Banchene, an Austrian, returned
to his home in Mt. Carmel on Saturday after
an unsuccessful gold hunt of nine months in
Alaska. He left Mt. Carmel last June and
got as far as Lake Bennett With not enough
cash to proceed he shortly found employment
on the White Pass railroad in process of erec-
ton. 100 others were employed there and
they earned 35 cents per hour, averaging in
the summer 15 hours work and 10 hours of
late. The company proposed a reduction to
80 cents and general strike was ordered
with the threat of death to anyone who re-
ported for work on March 1st. Banchene be-
came disgusted and started for home. About
a hundred miles south of Skaquay he met
thirteen Mt. Carmel men awaiting steamship
transportation. He told them his story, but
they refused to turn back He does not give
an encouraging account of the gold fields.
