Fatal Explosion.

Three men were killed, six more prob
ably fatally injured and nineteen others
more or less seriously burned by an ex-
plosion at Buck Mountain collery,
Schuylkill county, on Friday. Edward
Gallagher, repairman, with flaming
mining lamp, went into an old abandon
ed breast to secure plank. He is al
legged to have accidentally touched off
the gas.
James Gri(lths, aged 40, Mahanoy
City, was killed outright, and John Nc
Glynn, aged II, Buck Mountain, and
Charles Jones, aged so, Buck Mountain,
Strokonas, aged 80, Buck Mountain;
Henry Obrecht, Mahanoy City; Edward
Gallagher, aged 60, Buck Mountain;
Daniel Shovelin, aged 55, Buck Noun
tain, and Andrew Haverilla were
seriously burned.
Gallagher died yesterday from the
effects of his injuries, and at an early
hour this morning David Lenardy,
whose injuries were considered not ser-
Gus, also died.
Michael Butzkis, David Jenkins, Louis
Bartell, Charles Smith, Joseph Sudikas,
Joseph Silkonas, Paul Yutko, Andrew
Pierce and Others were painfully burned.
Three of the victims, Jones, Shovelin
and Gallagher, were at one time resi-
dents of this vicinity; Jones having lived
many years at Upper Lehigh, Shovelin
at Highland and Gallagher at Freeland.
AS far as can be learned, the explosion
was apparently due to Edward Gal
lagher going into an abandoned work.
ing with naked lamp and igniting the
gas, which had accumulated. Gallagher
had been ordered to procure plank for
the purpose of making repairs, and the
fire boss, William Moses, says he ad-
monished Gallagher not to enter that
abandoned working. Gallagher, on the
other hand, says he received no warn
ing whatever.
TO BE BURIED HERE.
Charles Jones, one of the victims of
the terrible explosion at Buck Mountain
collery on Friday, will be buried here
tomorrow. The remains are expected
to arrive at 11.45 a. m., and will be
taken to Freeland cemetery for inter-
ment. Mr.. Jones was resident of
Upper Lehigh for many years and had a
large number of friends in this section.
The deceased was brother of Mrs.
Thomas Parry, Upper Lehigh.

THEATRICAL.

Augustus Pitou's naval drama, "The
Gunner's Mate" is to be presented next
Friday evening for the second time in
Freeand. This play is from the pen
of man we'll calculated to picture, in a
consistent and true-to-life manner, the
incidents and every day happenings
among Uncle Sans blue jackets. Its
author is dramatic editor of the Newark,
N. j., Sunday Call. The dramatic ex-
perience and familiarity with nautical
lore cannot fail to produce play that
will appeal most forcibly to the Ameri
can public. When to these considera-
tions are added the fact that the pro-
duction is under the management of
Augustus Pitou, its claim upon the at
tention of patriotic theatre-going
public can be made no stronger.
Three of the five scenes of the play
present actual reproductions of views of
the cruiser New York. The story is full
of strong sensational effects, with a
grateful interminging of comedy. The
scene showing the fire-room of the New
York, and the thrilling climax which
transpires in it, is one of the strongest
Imaginable.
Among the special features of the pro-
duction are mandolin quartette, pair
of buck dancers and several high-class
singers.

lanes Dodd was a native of Belfast,
ireland. where he was born on the
18th of September. 1913. He first
came to Honolulu in 1867 with Lees
circus. and attracted attention as the
strong man of the institution. HIS
great forte was the catching of cannon
balls and the holding Of ladders upon
which two or more acrObats performed.
Dodd went on with the circus TO ASIA,
but returned to Honolulu in the early
7O's. and about 1875 became a member
of the police force. He was its first
white captain. After a few years OF
service he was employed as barkeeper
at the Hawaiian Hotel few years Ia

Hand. Two years later he came back

/ Pantheon saloon. then occupying an
old adobe building upOn the site OF the

Hotel streets. he started the first liy-
CIV stable here about that time, and
! laler started the street sprinkler, also
establishing the first public bath house
on the beach at Long Branch, which
name was given to the locality by
Dodd. He was a very philosophical
man. and very charitable, his generous
acts being innumerable. This ac-
counted in great measure for his pop
uIarity during all the years he lived in
Honolulu.
Dodd served through the Civil War
i'm the United States, and for many
years past retained his membership in
James 4. Garfield Post, G.. \. r, in
San Francisco. He was also high in
Masonry. being a knight Templar and
member of various other branches OF
the order. He was scarcely less prom
inent as a Knight of Pythias. He was
always a robust man, but since the
fracture of his leg in San Francisco
some years ago had been more or less
of a sufferer.
Besides a widow in this city, the de-
ceased leaves three brothers in the
United States and a sister in Ire
land. She. too. was formerly circus
performer. Dodd made considerable
money during his career, and leaves
comfortable estate. His residence wa
at Kapiolani Park, but he sometime
lived on Hotel street. Recently n
