LINTON, Ind, Aug. Sat 1880 to-day the
engine room of the Glenburn mine, one-half
mile west of Linton, owned by l.. T.. Dicka-
son & Co.. caught fire from burning oil and
was totally consumed. All the fine ma
chinery, including the electric plant of the
mine, was destroyed. The tipple caught
fire. but by the heroic efforts of the miners,
who carried water from pond near by in
their dinner pals it was saved.
One hundred and ninety men. twenty
three mules and one horse were in the mine
when the fire started. The men were sig
nald and escaped through the manway
without any accident. The animals will
have to he cared for in the mine until the
cages can be operated again. 1t will re-
quire several weeks to repair the damage.
The loss is estimated at from $4,000 to se0.-
00O partly insured. Two hundred and twen-
ty-fve men are thrown out of employment.

HARTFORD CITY, Ind, Aug. S.-The
Empire Nitroglycerin Company. which lost
its factory at Bluffton this week, and in
which three men were killed, is almost
ready to resume work on its new factory
on the 8. s. Carroll farm, north OF this city
There are five resident oil and gas well
shooters in this city, and the Bluffton ex-
plosion caused great excitement here on ac-
count of the large number of oil workers
and others identified with the industry
Three of the employees of the Empire-Amer-
lean company have quit the business. While
they are credited with having lost their
nerve, John O'Donnell, a shooter of this
city, who was one of them, says that he
did so at the request of his mother, who
wired him to resign at once as soon as she
heard of the accident and that he had es-
capped death. There is no more hazardous
work to be found than that of shooting
wells. 1t is playing with death and the
shooter daily risks his life. The familiarity
with the explosives breeds conscious con-
tempt, and. while no insurance company
will give him policy for life insurance, it
does not worry him. Many shooters live to
a ripe old age, but the most of them at
present in the Indiana field are youngsters
or men from twenty-five to thirty. The
oldest shooter in the field was George
Hickock who was killed in the explosion
at Montpelier about five years ago.
Well-shooting is a good illustration OF the
risks men will take for money. They are
hired on fixed salary of 800 a month re-
gardless of the number OF wells shot
Wagons labeled MISUNDERSTANDING
ous," are not uncommon on the roads OF
this county or on the streets of this city
The unyophisticated never knows whether
they are loaded not. for the shooter will
invariably contend that they are not when

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. s.-Four persons
were killed. twelve probably fatally injured
and l50 hurt. some seriously. at the Phila-
dephia National League baseball park this
evening, when the walk which overhung
the left-ield bleachers fell to the street

Nearly one hundred persons received frac-
tures of the limbs. decorations of the head.
broken noses, contusions of the head and
body but their condition is not serious.
Jonas Stein. OF East Liverpool, o., was
painfully hurt.
Two games were scheduled between Bos-
ton and Philadelphia this afternoon and the
attraction drew over 10000 persons to the
bali park. The accident occurred during
the fourth inning of the second game and
was indirectly due to quarrel between two
drunken men in the street. The National
League stands built of steel and brick,
the brick wall extending entirely around
the grounds. At the top OF the left-feld
seats and extending from the grand stand
10 the end of the bleachers there was a
walk about three feet wide which over
hung the street. 1t was this walk that
gave way under the heavy weight.
Men who were standing on the walk
were attracted by a disturbance in the
street. They. leaned over the side of the
railing to see what was the trouble. and
this drew the attention of other specta-
tors. who rushed to the walk to what
was going on below. The walk became
overcrowded and 200 feet of it fell to the
sidewalk. twenty feet below.
There were 5000 persons sitting in the
left-field bleachers and the made by
the raining tlmDer caused panic. Inc
spectators made q rush down the stand
and into the field. Men and boys climbed
over on another in an effort to escape and
several persons were hurt in the crush
Outside the grounds for entire block in
Fifteenth street. from Huntington street
To- Lehigh avenue. men and boys were
writhing in pain. Some were buried under
the wreckage, others were lying in the
cutters and dozens were stretched out in
Fifteenth street on the car tracks.
The 1900 persons within the grounds left
the place and crowded about the injured
Ambulances. wrecking wagons and street
cars soon carried the injured home or to
hospitals. The street was spotted with
blood and looked like field of battle.
An examination OF the walks after the
accident showed many of the wooden sup
ports, which extended three feet beyond
the walk. to be rotten. They were about
two and half inches thick and about six
inches wide. They broke OF flush with the
wall.
w. j. Shetsline. who is In charge of af-
fairs at the grounds In President Potter's
absence, had nothing to say except that
there was not the slightest suspicion that
the supports were weak.
