Death of a Redemptioner.

HANOVER, Pa, August 27.-Michael Stru-
biuger, one of Hanovcr's oldest and most re
spected citizens, died last night of cancer of
the forehead aged 81 years. He was born in
Baden, Germany, his parents IN 1878, together
with Michael, then three years of age, and
four other Children, started to emigrate to
America. The parents died on the River
Rhine, and their bodies were taken ashore for
intement. The children were brought on to
this country and placed in bondage for their
passage money, rs was the custom at that
time. Michael got into the hands of an I'M
kind master near Philadelphia, where he en-
durcd several years Of great cruelty, finally
being rescued by a man in whose custody was
his sister He then located in Delaware, and
later in Philadelphia, finally coming TO this
vicinity, where he amassed fortune and mar
ried. He is survived by his wife, three
daughters and one son, among whom are Mrs.

A Forty Years Fire in Summit Hill
Mine.

ALLENTOWN. Pa, Aug. 2S.-.lhe fire in the
mine at Summit Hill. which has been raging
iuriously the past week, yesterday broke into
the Spring Tunnel ColIiery, operated by Geo.
NJ. Davies, aud all efforts TO prevent its spread
have SO far proved unayailng. On account
of the heat and the attendant risk, the force
of fire fighters was compelled To leave the
mine. All operations at the Spring Tunnel
ColHery have ceased and 800 men aud boys
have been thrown out Of employment indeIi-
uitely.
The fire in the Summit Hill mine originated
forty wears ago, and has since been burning
steadily. 1t is estimated that the lehigh
Coal aud Navigation Company, which owns
the property. has expended more than mil
lion dollars in an endeavor to eXtinguish the
fire. The big duplex pump which poured
water into the mine broke down a short time
ago, and this ii is said, is responsible for the
spread of the flames The fire is now eating
its way through the richest veins of coal in the
Panther Creek Valley The suspension OF
work at the Spring Tunnel Coliery is a ter
rible blow to the business interest of lansford
and Summit Hill
