Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1899-06-26

A heavy explosion of gas occurred in
the Maxwell colliery, Ashley, Thursday
morning. Several hundred men were
at work at the time, and this fact caused
great excitement in the town, until it
became known for certainty that few
were injured. The irst report had it
that twenty men had been suf1icated by
after-damp. A large crowd of men,
women and children, mostly relatives of
the men at work in the mine, gathered
at the mouth of the shaft, and remained
there until the last man was brought
out. Shortly after noon all but three
men had reached the surface. Michael
Sweeney and Roger Harrison were
burned severely and Anthony Mock was
dead.
The explosion occurred half mile
west of the foot of the shaft. The ef-
fects were felt through the entire gang
way, where woodwork was set on fire.
The cause of the explosion has not been
definitely determined by the officials,
though they have several opinions.
The mine Is very gaseous.

A Verdict of Acquittal.

From the Wilkesbarre Record.
The most important case tried in
criminal court on Thursday was that
against Michael Zemany, a prominent
Freeland resident, who was charged
with arson by Mrs. Fannie jenkins.
The case was heard before Judge
Lynch and resulted in a verdict of ac-
quittal under instructions from the
court. Mr.. Zemany conducted bot
tling establishment at Freeland which
was destroyed by fire on July ID, 1898.
The flames communicated to a dwelling
adjoining, belonging to Mrs. Jenkins,
which was also partially destroyed.
number of witnesses were called to
establish the allegation that Zemany
was seen to leave the botting establish
ment at o'clock on the morning OF the
fire and shortly afterward the flames
were discovered. 1t was also alleged
that there was a strong smell of coal oil
when the fire first broke out. The
prosecution also sought to show that
the motive of the fire was to secure in
surance money which amounted to
SO, 400, 1t being claimed that the build
ing was not worth more than 5000.
The defendant denied the story set up
by the commonwealth and claimed that
the bottling works caught fire from
sparks from passing locomotive.

After Illegal Liquor Dealers.

rTOiu tuc f1uLieLOn SUduuuTu.
From a reliable source comes the in
formation that the revenue department
has about decided to arrest illegal liquor
dealers in this section Of Luzerne coun-
ty. This much was CLEANED from De-
putty Revenue Collector Brundage dur
ing his visit here last week.
This is the direct result of the visit
of the secret service men who were in
this section some months ago. Their
investigation was thorough and
searching one and they found the vio-
lations of the law so hagrant that re-
port was at once forwarded to the
department.
While these officials were making
this investigation they also gathered
sufficient evidence to warrant them in
instituting prosecution, which is likely
to occur almost any day. 1t is claimed
that these men are in possession Of evil
dence where liquor is bought and sold
without any kind of license, bottlers
being the most fragrant violators.
We are informed that the shaking up
will be q thorough one and will net fall
short of a sensation when the names of
the illegal dealers are made known.

inkpot of those respectable and strln-

This curious bronze vase rests on a

with angelic figures and the ominous
triplet of letters, &c. D. d." which
stand for Consiglio del Diece-a legend
which, even In this workaday century,

of its own. Out of this quaint trian-
gular goblet once issued the inexorable
sealed orders that walled up women
alive, branded the flesh, stretched the
limbs, destroyed with horrors unspeak-
able the minds and bodies of a people,
while the turn of spade in a palace
garden brings it back to the glimpses
of a modert moon which no more looks
down on the tragedies of old Venice.

Early Use of "stone Coal.

The columns of the Coal Trade Jour-
nal were enlivened last week by pic.
ture of Obediah Gore, of Wilkesbarre,
who was one of the first men to make
use of anthracite coal. Concerning the
value of "stone coal" as fuel the article
accompanying the cut says:
"Anthracite was discovered in the
Wyoming valley soon after its settle
ment, and the first authentic accounts
of its use in this country ascribe its
employment to two blacksmiths from
Connecticut, brothers named Gore, who
succeeded in burning the stone coal
in 1868. They were among the first
settlers OF Wyoming, and subsequently
it was used by all the smithies of that
region.
The mineral was quarried near
| Wilkesbarre and taken down the Sus-
quehanna river in arks to the govern
ment arsenal at Carlisle. This trade
was continued during the Revolutionary
war, and the stone coal was used by
the blacksmiths and gunsmiths of the
lower Susquehanna thenceforth.
"As stated before, however, it was
not used for domestic purposes until
much later. 1t was in the year 1905
Judge Jesse Fell, Of Wi!kesbarre, made
the first experiment OF using anthracite
coal in CRATE, which was of his own
construction, and succeeded far beyond
his expectations. Before that time it
had been used only for smith work.
"This was probably the first success
full use of anthracite for general pur-
poses in the world, as France did not
discover this remarkable fuel beneath
