ACCIDENT AT LONE.

From James Benny, who arrived in
AnstIn MONDAY afternoon from lone
We obtain the following particulars Of
the accident which happened TO w. J.
Williams and Dan Ross, machine men
and Dan Rozella. carman: The men
went to work Saturday morning on the
500 foot level of the Berlin mine.
They found a note from the night shift
that the last round of holds fired by
them, two had missed. They found
that the two missed holes were "stlnk-
ers,' that is the oxder Of part Of II
had burnt up instead Of exploding, and
that the level was full Of gas. Fore
man Johnson advised them to reload
the holes and fire them to get rid Of
the gas, but the men didn't think the
holes were deep enough. They put
the machine in place and drilled sew
eral holes. Thinking that all the pow
der In the missed holes had been burnt
up they started to drill close by, or
drill the missed hole deeper-which is
not known-when the explosion took
place. the hole being full Of powder only
a small amount having been burnt.
Williams face was badly cut and
skinned. his body filled with small
pieces of rock and his left arm severely
injured. His wounds are very painful.
but are not considered dangerous.
Ross received a bad cut on the right
side of the face and ear and his left
arm was severely injured.
Rozella's injuries consisted Of a deep
cut about four inches long on the side
Of the head and a badly bruised arm.
That the men were not killed out
right is a mystery to all, but their
wounds. although not dangerous, will
keep them from work for some time to
come.--Reveille.

Hazleton, Pa, Sept. 19.-The second
lay of the anthracite coal strike failed
10 bring forth anything that would lead
TO the coming together of the coal op-
orators and the striking mine workers
Neither side has approached the other
and as far as could be learned there is
mo such move contemplated by either
the operators or their employees. I'm
Tess there is n break in the ranks of
either it seems that q third party will
have to step into the breach and try
TO bring the two forces together. Who
the third party will be, and what meth

mates that about 5000 additional mine
workers laid down their tools yester-
day, making a total Of $4,000 mine

"F'rom every section of the anthracite

satisfaction prevails among those who
have up to this time failed to partici-

300 SPECIAL DEPUTIES
GUARD Mine PROPERTY

T Shamokin, Pa. Sept 19.-The tieup
of the mines in this section of the an
thracite coal region is even more COM
plete than it was Monday. Fewer men
reported for work, and the breakers
could not have been operated if the
companies had so desired. It is q
conservative estimate to say that there
are now $4,000 men out on strike in
this region. Everything was quiet yes
terday with the exception of a few per-
sonal squabbles and q slight sensa-
tion at Mount Carmel brought on by
some mischievous breaker boys. A
train arrived here at an early hour
yesterday morning from the west and
proceeded through the regions worked
by the Mineral and Union Coal COM
panies, dropping special deputies at
every station as they passed. Some
800 were thus quietly introduced be-
fore the whistles blew to awaken the
men. In this immediate neighborhood
not q wheel is revolving. Several of
the operators have ordered their mules
TO be hoisted out of the minees, and
have discharged even the few men
who were willing to work. In the
noiehborhood of Mount Carmel a few
mines sent to the surface coal that
still remained in the gangways, but
the breakers were for the most pari
still. Tho Franklin mine at Trevor.

Ills Encounter with the Gear ana
His IgnobIe Reward.

One Of the stories Of Peter the Great
which are current at the court Of st.
Petersburg is Of the great cars wres-
Ting match with a young dragoon.
Once In the imperial palace-so the
story goes-Peter was at table with
a great many princes aud noblemen,
and soldiers were posted within the
hall. The czar was in joyous mood,
and rising called out TO the company:
Listen, princes and boyars. Is there
among you one who VIII wrestle with
the carp There was no reply and the
car repeated the challenge.
No prince or nobleman dared to
wrestle with his sovereign. But all at
once n young dragoon stepped out
from the ranks Of the soldiers on
guard. Listen, Orthodox car" he
said. Il viii wrestle with thee"

will wrestle with thee. but ON these
condltions If thou throwcst me, l win
pardon thee; but, IL thou art thrown,
thou shalt be beheaded. Wilt thou
wrestle on those conditions
Il will, great car" said the soldier.
They closed. and presently the soldier
with his left arm threw the ear and
with his right lac prevented him from
falling TO the ground The sovereign
was clearly beaten. The czar offered
the soldier whatevorTeward he should
claim, and he isnobly claimed the
privilege of drinking free. rs long as

the crown. What became Of him his
