Michael Gamroski, of Mill Creek, was
killed and job Reinard of Parsons
fatally injured by fall of rock in the
top vein in the Delaware coliery of the
Delaware and Hudson Company. at Mill

ing the men was begun. After an
hours hard work the mangled and
crushed remains of Cof1ield were found
beneath the fall and removed to the
surface.

less body of Coflield was found Jacob

From the Akron, Ohio, Democrat, Jan. 3, 1899
The Opera House was packed to the
doors and many were turned away who
could not get in last Wednesday night,
the occasion being Faust Porter j.
White as Mephisto, the evil spirit, was
immense, and his support could not be
beaten. Everybody speaks in high
praise of the entertainment.
Faust is certainly the best and most
elaborate play ever presented before an
Akron audience. Nothing of the kind
or of such magnitude has ever been at
tempted since the erection of the Grand
opera house. The scenery OF this COM
pany is very fine and the electrical
effects simply marvellous. There is not
poor actor in the company. People
have been so badly humbugged by the
cheap John and fake Faust companies
that u tirst-class like Mr..
Whites production can not help but
leave an everlasting and pleasant re-
memberance of this society and dramatic
event of the season.

Mistaken Identity.

When James Ii. Feeley, Of Scranton,
travelling agent for Philadelphia map
firm, arrived in town Yesterday, he was
given reception such as few men
receive on their first visit to a strange
town. Beginning at the Lehigh Valley
station, he was cordially greeted by
those of the employees who saw him
step off the train, then by a prominent
j. p. whose office is nearby. On his
way up Centre street he was stopped
every few moments by men who shook
his hand, asked about his health and
welcomed him to town. Others tipped
their hats reverentially or waved him a
friendly salutation across the street,
and by the time he reached his hotel
Mr.. Feeley was profoundly impressed
with the socabiity of Freeland.
Later when the agent began to move
around town and the people secured a
second good look at him, their manifes-
tations of hospitality became more
chilly, for he was not whom he had
seemed to be.
In appearance, speech, movements,
etc, Mr.. Feeley is perfect double of
Rev. f. p. McNally, Of Georgetown,
who was curate at st. AIMS church
some years ago, and at first glance none
but an expert recognizer would fail to
make the mistake which many of our
townspeope made yesterday.
The agent says he is frequently ac-
costed in the upper end of the county by
the priests friends, but nowhere was he
ever the recipient of so much cordiality
on another's account as was shown him
Yesterday

Jack Bonner, of summit Hill, Accused
of IA Serious Charge in New York.
The twenty-ronnd boxing match be-
tween Jack Bonner, of Summit Hill, and
Pugilist Tommy West before the Lenox
Athletic Club OF New York on Tuesday
night had an abrupt ending in the eighth
round. The men, then seemingly on
even terms, came together, when West
staggered back after blow on the
cheek Charley White, the referee,
close on the boxers at the time, fell back
as if from blow at the same time.
The spectators, who filed nearly two
thirds of the club house. were still won
dering what was up, when White, rub
bing his eyes, broke between the fighters
and ordered them to their corners.
wiping his eyes hard, was anxious to go
to his corner,
The strong aromatic smell gave the
spectators close to the ring additional
cause to wonder. but an explanation
came quickly. Referee White stopped
the bout in the first minute of the eighth
round, and refused to permit it to go
further. Referee White explained that
Bonner had gone in for the eighth
round with his gloves smeared with oil
latter received Il blow.
The spattering of the liquid blinded
the referee at the same time, and White,
well versed in ring tactics and all
manner of foul measures, had compre-
hended the trick instantly.
Still blind from the shock of the rr-
tatng liquid in his eyes, he called halt,
felt and smelled of Bonner's gloves and
stopped the bout. The official decision
given few moments later was that
Bonner was disqualified for foul in
using drugs to blind and incapacitate
his adversary.
The fact that Bonner was a to .
favoritc in the betting caused vigorous
protest among the spectators, but the
presence of the police, who broke into
the ring at the first sign of row.
checked all efforts to create trouble and
the house was cleared without any dis
turbance.
An alteration between Tom O'Rourke
and one of Bonner's hackers followed
the decision of Referee White. Several
blows were exchanged before the police,
who made Gordon around the ring at
the first evidence of trouble, separated
them.
The injury to West and White from
the action of the pungent oil of mustard
on the membranes of the eyes, nose and
throat were severe and painful for the
moment, but rapidly wore away. Ref
cree White was able to leave the club
house with his friends within short
time, and West, after his eyes and nose
were washed with cooling lotions, show
ed no bad effect.

Shenandoah's Destructive Fire.

The largest fire in Shenandoah for
ten years occurred on Tuesday morning,
and for while the entire business por-
Fortunately, the hour was favorable to
an early discovery and an abundance of
water was to be had. While a number
of children were on their way to school
they noticed smoke issuing from the
side of A. ii. Swalm's hardware estab-
ishment. An investigation resulted in
finding flames between the paStering
and weatherboards. An alarm was sent
in, but when the fire department appear
ed on the scene the fire had reached the
tin roof, and being unable to break
through it, crept along the side to the
cornice, which was soon mass of
flames.
The ad joining building took fire. and
the situation became so alarming that
Mahanoy City was asked to send their
fire department to assist. The request
was countermanded after the flames
were under control. All the roofs being
of tin in the neighborhood Of the fire,
the flames worked their way into adjoin
ing buildings until three double blocks
were Quilted.
The buildings destroyed were those of
A. II. Swain, hardware establishment;
j. Portz & Bros, merchant taiors; Kal-
bach, a tobacconist and cigar manu-
facturer; the other, Jacob Noll, conduct
ed II restaurant on one side, while the
other was occupied by John Creary, a
tailor, and Jacob Lessig's large millinery
store. All these buildings are total
ruin, with the exception of Lessig's.
which is damaged to the extent of $1,000.
The loss on the other buildings will
reach 17,C00, about half of which is
covered by insurance.
The buildings were located in the
heart of the town on Main street, aud
few doors from the Ferguson House.

NEW LINE ABANDONED.
PROPOSED INDEPENDENT COAL ROAD
WILL NOT BE BUILT.
Individual Operators Who Were Back of
the Project Taken in Hand by Nor
gan Combination-PIano of the GraspiDg
Trust to Throttle Competition.

The following interesting statement
regarding the abandonment of the inde-
pendent anthracite coal operators pro-
posed line from Scranton to tidewater.
for portion of which the rails have
already been ordered, is from the New
York Ereaihg Post of Tuesday:
The proposed railway from the coal
fields to tidewater in the interest OF
certain independent anthracite opera
tors will not be built. This statement
was made today on the authority of
large owner and shipper of anthracite
coal in this market, who has been in
timately associated with several Of the
concerns to ship over the independent
line. The reason for the abandonment
of the project is the fact that several of
the colleries whose output would have
been needed to assure the success of the
new line have been taken in hand in a
combination, and in this way have had
their position assured.
THE controlling OF independentop opera
tives and their output, it was said by
the same authority, will go no further
than taking in some of the properties
along the Erie and Lehigh Valley. No
attempt will be made to put up the price
of coal abnormally; that was one of the
fallacies of the Mcleod regime. The
aim will be rather to make the price
steady the year round, say on the basis
of 81 for stove. With insurance against
loss by reason of much lower prices dur
ing the duh season, there would be no
necessity of recouping by unusually high
prices at other times, and there would
be substantial returns on the capital in
vested for every body"
FURTHER PROOF.
In the United Suites Rlrestor, of New
York, on Saturday last, the above in
formation was forecasted in the follow
ing portion of an article on the coal
trade:
Ordinarily the plan of settlement en-
braces the acquisition by syndicate of
railroad interests of most of the coal
properties of the independent operators,
either by an outright purchase of the
mines or the purchase of the product
outright thus centralizing the control of
the anthracite trade and doing away
hereafter with the settlement of the
many difficulties which have existed in
the matter of rates for transportation
and prices at the mines and at tide
water.
The syndicate formed to purchase
the Independent coal properties, we
understand, is made up of gentlemen
representing the Jersey Central, Read
ing, Erie, Lehigh Valley, Susquehanna
and Ontario and Western: in other
words, of Messrs. j, p. Morgan IL Co., j.
Rogers Maxwell, George f. Baker, presi-
dent of the First National bank of New
York, and others allied closely with the
roads mentioned.
The first move that was made by the
syndicate was the purchase of seven
coal properties of Simpson & Watkins,
the well known independent operators
of Scranton
