FIRE UNDER
CONTROL !
Good work Done at the Kelley Run
COllierY.
PLENTY WATER AND GOOD AIR
The Men Have Reached and Are at Work
in the Chute In Which the Fire
Started The outlook is Very
Encouraging

The past twenty-four hours have been pro-
ductive of excellent results in connection
with the work Of fighting the fire in the
Kelley Run colliery and it now seems that
the IRE is practically extinguished. This re-
suit is not only exceedingly gratifying to the
officials and employees Of the Kelley Run
coliery, but also TO those Of the Kohinoor
and Indian Ridge cOllielies, in view Of the
fact that at enc time yesterday there was
grave apprehension as to the final outcome
Of the fire
The plans as outlined in last evenings issue
of the HERALD for fighting the fire we're car
ried out last night and during the early
morning hours of to-day with most gratify
ing effect. The pipe line constructed in the
old Ringtown slope, with its connection with
the reservoir of the Rescue Hook & Ladder
Company. afforded the fire fighters an abund-
ant supply of water and the force fan also did
good work in driving back the gas and black
damp and enabled the men to advance toward
the seat of the fire.
These operations proved so satisfactory
that by eight o'clock last night the water
reached the fire. The good work was kept
up and during the later hours of the night
the advance made enabled the men to load
five cars Of debris from the chute of breast
43, where the fire started.
At eight O'Clock this morning the fire ap-
peared about out, but water was still being
poured into the place.
At ten o'clock an official stated that the
fire was under control and that the men
would probably reach the western end of the
fire this afternoon. Water was being abun-
dainty used with excellent effect
| An hour and half later another bulletin
was issued to the effect that there was still a
little fire in the chute of breast 43, about 80
| feet from the gangwsy and the prospects for
speedily quenching it were very favorable.
During this morning the men succeeded in
getting five more car loads of debris out OF
breast 43 and kept two streams of water
running into the breast. There are two
chutes in the breast.
This afternoon the officials stated that the
fire in the inside chute was out but the out
side chute was still giving trouble. The
men succeeded in getting up this chute
to distance of about forty-fve feet and
there found pretty good bed of fire. The
water pipe was then extended up the chute
to the point reached by the men and good
stream was played upon the fire. The ven
tiation is very good for the men and it il
believed they will soon reach point from
which the fire can be finally extinguished.

INTERNAL REVENUE RECEIPTS
Amendments Recommended to tho
War Revenue Measure.

Amendments Recommended to the
War Revenue Measure.
Washington, Nov. 9.-Commissioner
George w Wilson. of the internal
revenue bureau. in his report to the
secretary of the treasury of the oper-
ations of his Office from the fiscal year
ended June 80, 1899, shows that the
receipts from all sources aggregated
s273, ,4S4,573, an increase over the pre-
ceding year of S102, 2,6l7 600. and an in
crease of $3,4S4,573 over the estimate
of the commissioner made one year
ago. The commissioner estimates that
the receipts from all sources for the
present year will approximate $685.
100000, which is about s1l500,000 in
excess of the receipts for the year clos
ed June 80, 1899.
During the last year officers of the
internal revenue seized 2,190 Illicit
stills and in the discharge Of their
duty one officer was killed and three
wounded. There were III persons ar
rested in connection with Illicit dis
tilling, which. the commissioner says,
is rather on the increase in certain
sections of the country.
The commissioner recommends sew
eral amendments to the war revenue
act, among them one providing that
estates in this country of persons re-
siding abroad at the time of their
death shall be taxed the same as the
estates of persons residing In this
country. 1t is also recommended that
the agricultural fairs be exempt from
payment of revenue tax.

New York. Nov. 29.-William +.
Miller, who conducted the Franklin
syndicate in Brooklyn, has not yet
been arrested, the so-called dragnets Of
the police evidently being out Of order.
The police have not the faintest idea
where Miller Is.
The Franklin syndicate safe, which
was locked up by Miller the last thing
before he took flight, was opened by
a locksmith yesterday In a Brooklyn
police station. In it was found 1870
shares of Brooklyn Rapid Transit
stock and a few worthless scraps OF
paper. There was not penny OF cash
and nothing of value except the stock
Postmaster Wilson, of Brooklyn, has
received an order from the postmaster
general directing him to return, so far
as possible, to the senders all letters
addressed to the syndicate About l.
500 pieces of mail, including over S12,-
900 worth of money orders, have ac-
cumulated since Saturday.
Hubert c. Taylor, the lawyer who
was appointed receiver Of the syndi-
cate, has asked to be relieved of the
appointment on the ground that he
does not like to have his name asso-
ciated in the public mind with that Of
Miller and his unsavory supporters.
Involuntary bankruptcy proceedings
against the syndicate were instituted
in the United States court yesterday
before Judge Thomas by attorneys
representing depositors whose claim
aggregate over $4,000. They allege
in their petition that a large part OF
the syndicates property has been con-
cealed with intent to defraud creditors.
These bankruptcy proceedings, 1t is
said, will take precedence over all
other claims filed against the syndi-
cate.
Louis A. Gourdain, who has a bank
ing Office in the Metropolitan Life In
surance building, at No. 1 Madison
avenue, and is alleged to have a
scheme similar to that of the Franklin
syndicate, was arrested yesterday on
the order of Chief of Police Devery.
He was taken to police headquarters
and will be charged with swindling.
| Gourdain Is said to be a we'll known
| lottery man from New Orleans. He
was held in default of $4,000 bail.

Tobin and owned by d. Il. Lewis, shortly
after three o'clock this afternoon. A Bah
