BURNING mine FLOODED

Into the Port Royal.
HOPE OF RESCUE ABANDONED

Sixteen Lives Lost-superintend cnts.
Foremen and Bosses Included In
Dend-seven Injured-Heroic would
Be Rescuers Caught In Explosions.
West Newton, Pa, June 12.-The
muddy waters of the Youghiogheny
river were last night turned in upon 1t
hapless miners caught in the explo-
sions in Port Royal mine of the Pitts
burg Coal company, closing the most
dreadful scene ever witnessed in the
Youghiogheny valley.
Within the doomed pit there are three
mine foremen, one district superin-
tendent, roadmen, trackmen and boss
machinists, one of the remarkable
things about the calamity being the
number of prominent men caught in
the fatal fire.
After the first explosion Monday
night there were two others, one at
10 o'clock, which killed eight heroic
rescuers, and another ten minutes later.
A second rescuing party, headed by
Bernard Callaghan, mine inspector of
the ninth bituminous district, started
in yesterday morning, when it also was
caught in the fourth explosion n half
mile from the shaft bottom.
\ fifth explosion occurred yesterday
afternoon at 3 o'clock while the officials
We're celebrating whether to make an
other attempt at rescue.
Coal, slivers and timbers and clouds
of dust We're hurled out of the shaft
with terrible force. All hope of get
ting out the men in the mine was then
Abandoned.
After a consultation it was decided
to flood the mine, and the Youghioghe-
ny river was turned in.
1t was seven years ago when the
channel or bore through which the wa
ters of the river are now rushing into
the mine was made in order to flood
the mine after a similar explosion.
Then a plug was inserted in the hole,
and last night it was removed for the
first time.
Heartrending Scenes.
AS the mine began to fill and those
weeping about the shaft knew that the
fathers, sons and brothers below were
forever lost the scene was heartrend-
ing. 1t will be eight weeks before the
mine can be opened and the bodies re-
covered.
The complete list of the dead in
cludes:
William McCune, superintendent,
married, four children; John Keck,
mine boss, married. three children.

Parkinson Talked Too Much.

It was talked on the street yester-
dav that Bishop George c Parkinson
of Idaho, who was slated for appoint
ment as chief deputy in the office of
Internal Revenue Collector E. III.
Callistcr, had gone to Montana and
made large sayings which have re-
suited in his being cast into outer
darkness SO far as his deputyship is
concerned. 1t is said Bishop Park
inson went to Montana, met Mr..
Webster, the retiring collector, and
gave Mr. Webster the positive as
surance that he, Bishop Parkinson,
was the large cit" of the situation
and that Mr.. Callister was merely a
figurehead. Bishop Parkinson Is
quoted as giving out the announce
ment that he would do the heavy
part of the discharge of the duties
of the office and that Mr.. Callister
would be shunted to a quiet place
where he would not be seen. The
bishop IS said to have given out GER
tain information regarding what he
proposed doing in regard to renting
offices and getting things under way
IN Salt Lake. The result of all this
is that while Bishop Parkinson was
slated for the chief deputyship until
recently, mis- late actions have
