Mine Horror.

WILKEsBARRE, Pa Dec. 9.-By an
explosion of gas in South Wilkesbarre
mine of the Lehigh & Wilkesbarre
Coal Company today number of men
are reported to have been killed.
Rescuing parties are now in the mine.
Later-It is feared the explosion was
worst than at first reported.
The list of dead is now placed at II.
The number of men burned will reach
eight.
There is considerable excitement at
the colliery. The relatives and friends
of the entombed men have gathered in
large numbers and are anxiously await
ing news from below.
The South Wilkesbarre mine is one
of the most gaseous in the anthracite
region. Extra precautions always have
been taken to guard against explosion.
1t is said the explosion was caused
by miner who dropped a stick of
dynamite. The explosion set off a
pocket of gas.
Fire damp has greatly impeded the
work of the rescuers.

Big Tannery Fire,

The Eagle Valley tannery at Ridg-
way was destroyed by fire, early Sun.
day morning, caused by explosion of
natural gas in the engine room. The
loss on building is estimated at S75, 900,
and that on the stock of leather and
hides at S25O,OOO to 100000. The loss
is said to be we'll covered by insurance
This tannery is in the Elk Tanning
company's district which is identified
with the United States Leather COM
George w. Childs, who is president
of the Elk Tanning company, was in
the south, but upon being informed of
the fire left for Ridgway at once. A
large number of employees will be
thrown out ofwork, but rebuilding will
be commenced soon. The bark stacked
in the yards was not burned.

Exciting RUNAWAY,

Our citizens were considerably excit-
ed yesterday over the running away OF
a horse attached to sleigh, containing
Mrs. Cole and three children. When
near the east ward school house the
horse took freight, throwing out of the
sleigh Mrs. Kelley and two children,
and ran up Fifth street to Howard's
new mill, above the tannery, where the
horse became detached from the sleigh.
Ofcourse large number of people and
children followed the horse, knowing
that little babe was lying on the
bottom of the sleigh. The child was
found by the frantic mother, Who FOL
lowed in a carriage, none the worse for
its exciting ride.

The Brockway Jubilee Singers.

The large audience in attendance at
the Brockway Jubilee Concert, last
Friday night, was distinct compli-
ment to the singers, as majority of
those present had heard the company
here two seasons ago.
The form of entertainment furnished
by them, appears to possess a fascina-
ton of which the public never tires
and the hearty applause that greeted
each member, expressed the apprecia-
ton of the audience in most unmis-
taxable manner. They sing and act as
only members of their race can.
Their voices, naturally of good quail
ity, have been faithfully cultivated,
until singing with them has became a
fine art; some of their solo and quar-.
tette work would have done credit to
vocalsts of greater pretentiousness ess.
The camp meeting choruses were given
with characteristic fervor and refresh
ing naturalness. The specialties were
done in splendid style. The whistling
and bird warbling of Mr.. Washington
caused wonder and amazement and
was the occasion of no little pleasure
to the listener. All were sorry when
the program of nearly two hours was
over.

People Attention.

To Whom it Nag Concern:-I viii be
at home from Dec. goth until Jan. 4th
for the purpose of practising dentistry.
I am coming prepared to make twenty
sets of teeth and no more at $500 per
set. This will certainly be your last op-
portunity at this figure. The work in
this line / have done in the past, speaks
for it's self. Defy any one, qualified to
Judge, to produce better material, or
find fault with the workmanship.
l am doing the work at this price,
and at this time, because | have the
material and wish to turn it into cash,
for as a stndent I need the money to
complete my dental course at Univers-
ity of Buffalo.
You will be wise to take advantage
of the situation. Ask your neighbors;
| have worked for them. Many have
made engagements; so come early or
you will be too late.
Respectfully,

Gas Supply Fails.

For two or three winters our people
have suffered from lack ofgas for heat
ing purposes and suffer no little incon.
venience. On Sunday and Monday, in
various sections of our town, it was
impossible to keep warm and wood
stoves were brought into use. Those
depending on gas for light were in the
dark. From present appearances EN-
porium will be obliged to go back to
oil, wood and coal or encourage some
other gas line to come here. Emporium
has heard SO many times that "another
we'll is being attached"-that old chest
nut will not work. We are up against
the stubborn fact-saw wood or freeze

HARRISBURG, December s "A dele
cation of Lebanon lawyers called on
Governor Stone to-day and urged him
to appoint Representative Thomas
II. Capp, of Lebanon, to the vacancy
in the Superior Court created by the
retirement of Judge John l. Mitchell,
of Wellsboro, under the Judges pension
act. Capp has received no encourage,
ment from Stone, and the prospects
are that he will not be appointed.
The new Judge is believed to have
been agreed on at the Conference held
between Stone and Senator Quay at
Washington on Saturday, and the ap-
pointment will be announced soon
Stones purpose of consulting Quay
was to make sure that his appointe @
will be nominated for the full term of
ten years by the next Republican
State convention before making a final
selection.
The latest name to be mentioned is
that of B. w. Green, of Emporium, an
old sch oolm tie of Governor Stone.
