DIPPRE HAD A VERY
Thrilling ESCAPE
Fell Into an Ash Pit and Was About
to Be Covered with Hot Ashes
When Discovered.

Charles Dippre, of South Scranton.
machinist at the Dickson Locomotive
works on Cliff street, had a narroy es-
cape from being buried alive Thursday
night, and although he has broken
leg as the result of his accident. he
considers himself extremely lucky that
he escaped a terrible death. He fell
into the Delaware. Lackawanna and
Western Railroad companys new ash
pit on Cliff street, and while lying there
just escaped being buried under hot
ashes emptied from one of the Lacka-
wanna engines.
Dippere left the shops about o'clock
to walk to his home. IT. was very dark
and when on Cliff street. near the
round house he suddenly tripped and
fell into the ash pit which was but
recently dug.
He fell several feet and broke his leg
in so doing. He suffered intense pain,
and was lying in the pit in semi-con-
scious state when he was brought to a
sudden awakening and consciousness
by seeing the bright headlight of an
engine above his perlous resting place,
and hearing mems voices. He gave Il
loud. piercing cry and the engineer then
discovered him. He was raised from,
the pit and the Lackawanna hospital
notified. An instant later and the
mass of heated cinders would have
fallen upon and buried him.
The ambulance responded. but Dip
pre-, ct his own request, was removed
to his home

The home OF Frank Varey, an 1tal-

Varley. with his wife and daughter,
were at his place of business, which is

ley sent the girl to the home to get an
article for him which he desired. She
returned a few moments later and in
formed him that trunk on the second
floor, which contained $400. Varley's
savings for several years, had been
broken open and ri1ed of its contents.
Two watches and 81, which had been
left on a bureau in one of the rooms

WHOLESALE HORSE THIEVING.
Two Barns in Elmhurst and One in
Moscow Broken Into.

Three cases We're yesterday reported
to the police of barns being entered
Tuesday night, and horses and vehicles
stolen. The barn of II. T.. Stillwel
at Elmhurst was broken into, and q
buggy with red wheels and red gear
stolen, together with set of harness.
A watch dog at the barn was killed.

well, was forcibly entered, and large
bay horse with small star on its
forehead, heavy fetlocks and Weighing
about 1900 pounds, was stolen. The
animal is years old and sixteen and
half hands high. The horse thieves
are expected to have had trouble with
this animal as 1t has never been hoked
singly.
In Moscow a horse was stolen from
Edward Miller. 1t was a black stall
lion Weighing 1000 pounds, with two
marks on the right side where it was
gored by a bull. A spring carriage

CAN NEVER ACT AGAIN.
Roland Reed Had to Undergo An
other Operation.

The following appeared in yester-
days New York Journal:
Roland Reed. the well-known comedian. under
went third operation yesterday. As II victim
OF intestinal cancer he has been under treatment
al st. I.ukcs hospital for the last six manths.
At midnight last night it was said at the
hospital that the operation was considered a
success, that Mr.. Reed was doing as we'll as
could be expected under the circumstances and
that he was in no immediate danger. Naturally,
after the operation, he was reported as beirs
very weak.
Physicians say that even if Roland Reed sur.
wives the shock OF the three operations lie can
never hope to act again. His malady, they de-.
clare, is of such character as to make that
impossible. They give it as their opinion that
lIe may even be bedriddcn for life.
If the doctors are right the stage has lost
one of its most popular comedians. Theatcr .acers

SOME OF THEM

concluded from Page IL

ing the decrease in powder part Of
the increase in wages is impracticable.
To this the operators make answer to
this effect: "rhat's none of your bus
mess; all that you are called upon to
concern yourself about is that you get
1t. and it Is very simple for you to fig
ure out how much you would have
made under the old basis, which you
have had twenty-five years to become
familiar with, and having figured it
out add ten cents to each dollar and see
If the result doesn't correspond with
the money you receive from the pay
car"
A very plain presentation of how the
miner and laborer both share in the
ten per cent. increase was given to a
Tribune reporter by an operator yes
terday. The miner had been earning
$10O net, paying his laborer $40, or
about one third of the gross earnings.
The ten per cent. advance increased the
miners net earnings to $1l0. The la
borer demanded an increase of ten per
cent. and the miner consequently had
to give him $44 instead of $40 as pre-
Viously. This left the miner s66 out of
his s110. SiXty-six dollars is ten per
cent. more than $50.
Increase Figured Out.
Here is the same thing worked out in
an actual case:
The following is an explanation OF how the
contract miners will receive their ten per cent
increase in wages, allowing for the reduction Of
powder to $3.50:
DUE BILL AS MADE UP AT PRESENT
One hundred cars at s.955 ................S 95 80
v,arIp \
Less six cans powder at So. rs ...........S l6 50
Net earnings ..,........................S sc 80
DUE BILL UNDER PROPOSED BASIS
One hundred cars at $.0SS ................S 0S 80
Five yards rocks at $3.50 ................. so
Total '.,.,'... ] ].:':,:.''''''''''''Slo6 50 50
Net earnings Observation-Disclosures. 06 50
or $40 30 more than the miner earned under old
basis, or 10 per cent on his gross earnings OF
tlo3 90.
This increase is arrived at by reducing the
price OF powder from sa,75 to $50, which, on
six cans, amounts 10 $3.50, and by increasing the
sate paid per car from s.955 to 1858, or SO2S
on each car, making the total increase or 10 per
cent. or 5000,
1t is understood that the larger COM
panies propose to make a separate
basis of calculation for each colliery.
Figures for a year back will be taken
to compute the proportion of the ex-
peHse of mining represented by pow
der, and then ascertain from this by
what per cent. a miners expenses are
reduced by reducing the cost of his
powder from S2.75 to $15O q kep.
Roughly estimated, it is about seven
per cent in this region. Each colliery.
ho sver, will have its own basis, and
hi basis will be figured out as ac-
BUR. 'ly and minutely as is possible.
