Miss Stone was captured near Meho

DEADLY BLACK DAMP.
Father aud Two Sons meet
Death In Old Air Shaft.


rather TO save Both aud All Perished.
Rescuers Seriously Overcome.
CONNELLSVILLE. Pa, Oct. H.
Three lives went out in little air shaft
only two feet in diameter and 20 feet
deep, but filed with deadly black damp,
at the mines Of the Juniata Coke com
pany near Juniatayille yesterday. The
dead are: John Gilleland, miner, aged 30
years, and his two sous, james and Win
field, aged II and 10, respectively.
All three bodies were rescued, but in
the effort John Nicholson, mine fore
man at Juniatayille. and John Baker,
a mine fireboss, were seriously overcome
by black damp.
Near the home of the Gillelands is a
deserted air shaft. The two boys were
playing around the shaft which is board
ed MP for about two feet above the
ground. James climbed to the top,
shouting to his brother Then he leaned
over the top OF the shaft. A sudden
gust Of the death fumes struck him and
with a scream he fell forward into the
pit.
His brother rushed to the top of the
shaft and started down Il rickety ladder
that years ago served the miners with
means Of descent From the home not
many yards away the elder Gileland
saw his boys 20 down the shaft to the
pit, and regardless OF his own safety
hurried down the hole.
BY this time a number of other inmates
Of the house hurried to the shaft. They
went to the top and peered in, but only
faint groans were heard About half
way down the little shaft the body of
the father was lodged.
Like lightning the news Of the trag-
edy spread over the farms of Dunbar
and Franklin townships and in few
hours the whole countryside had nOcked
to the scene of the deaths.
The difficult problem of how to descend
the death trap to recover the bodies was
finally solved by John Nicholson, mine
foreman, who rugged up farmers wind
mill, used for cleaning wheat, in such
wgy as to fan pure air in the mine.
Nicholson and John Baker were then
lowered into the shaft with ropes around
their bodies. Gilleland'S body was soon
hoisted to the top aud at the bottom
were found the bodies of the two boys
entwined in death embrace.
After the dead came the rcscuers. and
as soon as they reached the pure air
the terrible effect of the gas was evident
and both faiuted. Physicians say the
men are in u serious condition.
Gilleland leaves wife and several
children.

CzOLGOSz' EXECUTION,
Thousands S Want to Be Allowed
to See Him Electrocuted.

State Prison Superintendent Has Received
Many Requests, but Witnesses win he
Limited to e0-Stories That Assassin Is
In Continuous State of Collapse Are
Denied.
ALBANY. Oct. 15.-prison Superinten.
dent Cornelius V. Collins will send a re-
csest to Secretary of State Hay to desig-
nate an official representative Of the gov
emmcnt TO be present at the electrocu-
tion OF Leon +. Czolgosz, the murderer
Of President Mckinley. There will be
but 26 witnesses in the chamber of
death when the sentence of law is exc
cuted. Warden Mead of Auburn prison
has sent to Superintendent Collins the
requests he has received for perInis-
sion To attend the. electrocution, over
1000 In ALL The law will limit the
number of witnesses and the superintend-
ent will decide who the witnesses will be.
1t was stated at the state department
Of prisons yesterday that statements to
the effect that Czolgosz is in a cOntinu-
ous state of collapse and that he
breaks down and wecps every time any
thing is said to him concerning the elec-
trocutiou is false Superintendent Col
lins had talk with the condemned man
some days ago and NJ that time he said
he knew that he had to die. He eX-
pressed no fear as TO the clectrocution,
but said that he would not care to 20
outside Of the prison for he believed that
the people would kill him.
Since his confinement at Auburn prison
several thousand letters have been re-
ccived for him ut the prison as well as
a large number OF express packages CON
tanning flowers and fruit. Neither the
letters nor the flowers nor the fruit have
ever reached the condemned man.
The flowers and fruit it is learned have
been sent by Christian societies, uU have
a nnmbcr of letters cOnsoling him in
his last moments. Other letters have
come from crauks who have written
about the species of torture to which
they would put him il they had the exc
cution Of justice in his case.
1t is stated, however. that it would
be a matter of surprise if the names OF
senders Of fruit and flowers were made
public. The state prison department has
pursued a uniform policy in regard TO
CzolgoSz. An effort has been made to
prevent the murderer from gaining any
notorety while awaiting death and to
surround him by as perfect an isolation
from the world as possible.
