NINE VICTIMS ARE DEAD
During>a Ball Game Portion of a
Grand Stand Fell.
The Club Officials Express Sympathy
and Announce That the Immedi-
ate Games at the Grounds
Will Be Postponed.

Philadelphia, Aug. 10.-Five addi
tional deaths occurred Sunday as the
result of an accident Saturday at the
Philadelphia National league baseball
park, making a total of nine fatalities.
Two hundred victims were treated at
the various hospitals and it is believed
that fully 100 more received attention
at various drug stores in the vicinity
Of the baseball grounds. OF the in
jured still in the hospitals four are
said to be in critical condition.
The physicians and nurses at the
several hospitals to which the injured
were conveyed worked increasingly
throughout Saturday night, securing
no rest and taking but little nourish-
ment Coroner Dugan Sunday began
an investigation into the causes Of the
accident. No date has been set for the
inquests, but the coroner said they
would be held within ten days.
President Potter, of the Philadelphia
baseball club, who has been out of the
city. arrived Sunday night. accompap-
led by President Pulliam, of the Ma
tional league.
Shortly after their arrival a state
ment was issued by the club officials
expressing sympathy for the injured
and for the families of the dead and
announcing that immediate games
would be postponed.
Two games were scheduled between
Boston and Philadelphia Saturday aft
ernoon, and the attraction drew over
10000 persons to the ball park. The
accident occurred during the fourth
inning of the second game, and was
indirectly due to a quarrel between
drunken men in the street. The Ma
tional league stands are built of steel
and brick, the brick wall extending
entirely around the grounds. At the
top of the left field seats and extend
ing from the grand stand to the end OF
the bleachers there was walk about
three feet wide, which Overhung the
street. 1t was this walk that gave
way under the heavy weight.

er spectators, who rushed to the walk
to see what was going on below.
There were 5000 persons sitting in the
left field bleachers and the roar made
by the falling timber caused panic.
The spectators made a rush down
the stand and into the field. Men and
boys climbed over one another in an
effort to escape, and several persons
were hurt in the crush. Outside the
grounds for an entire block on Fiji
teenth 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 on Fifteenth street on
the car tracks.

THE PONTIFF ENTERS.
He Was Received BY the Audience
With Great Acclamations.

The low ceiling sent back an exqui-
site echo of the 'Tues Petrus". sung
by the Sistine choir, whose voices
were heard outside in the piazZaz of
st. Peters. Cardinal Rampolla advanc
ed with dignity, knelt and kissed the
foot of the pontiff. He then present
ed in a firm voice the wishes and
greetings of the chapter of st. Peters,
which he said, Il offer an act of obedi
ence to your holiness and wish you a
prosperous and glorious pontificate."
The procession reformed and pro-
aceeded to the door of the basilica. On
the appearance of the pontiff himself
it seemed as though the people would
seek to carry him in their arms, so
great was their enthusiasm. Cries of
e"Pius. our pope, our father" and
Long live Plus X" were raised not
withstanding the large placards posted
all over the basilica saying. "Acclama-
tions are forbidden"
A quaint ceremony was then carried
out The master of the ceremonies
knelt three times before the pontiff,
each time lighting a handful of hemp
which surmounted a silver torch, and
as the flame flashed and then died out
he chanted, Holy Father, thus pass
eth away the glory of the world"
The procession then proceeded. At
the chapel of the sacrament there was
another halt. and his holiness left the
Sedan chair and prayed at the altar.

of Delaware county, made an expert

EXTRAORDINARY LYNCHING.
Negro Criminals Queer Talkins-On
by Mob in One of the
Gulf States.

"One of the most singular lynch
ings l ever saw" said a visitor from an
adjoining state, reports the New Or
leans Times-Democrat, happened a
number of years ago. and | suppose
there are but few persons alive now
who recall the strange facts OF the
case. Burning negroes was not in
vogue then. 1t was even a rare thing
to hear of a frst-class hanging. OF
course, men had the habit then, as they
have it now, of putting black men out
of the way when they resorted to
shocking violences, but they went
about it in different way.
Coming to my story, suppose it is
the only instance in the history of the
country when such a unique method
of disposing of negro was employed.
The crime with which the negro was
charged was henious-of that kind
which is said to justify summary
punishment. 1t was committed near
the bank of river. There was no
question about the Negroes guilt. He
made a complete confession, and said
he deserved death for the awful crime
he had been guilty of. For awhile the
m oh did not know just how toproceed
It was some time before the frenzied
men who surrounded the negro could
make up their minds as to the best
method of procedure. Hanging was
suggested ''Shoot him. said another
member Of the group. "Burn him, y
cried another, and so it went on.
Finally some fellow made a sugges-
ton which met with the approval of
the mob.
at was to chain the negro in a
large boiler, weight it down SO it would
gradually sink and cast him adrift on
the river. This plan was followed out
to the letter. 1t was in the dead hour
of the night when they foated out to
the middle of the stream with the
negro and the boiler and the weights
which would sink it. He was carefully
chained to the boiler SO there was no
possible chance Of escape. Then the
weights were piled in and the poor
wretch was cast adrift on the waters.
Nothing could be heard but the
screams of the manacled negro, and
the. dip and splash of the oars as the
lynchers made their way back to the
shore from which they had lnbarked
on the gruesome mission. AS the skitf
showed its bow into the muddy bank
and the pulled-in oars ratified over its
sides. wild gurgling shriekwas heard
adown the stream. and then a sad, list
less silence spread over the waters,
and the only sound to be heard was the
muf1ied crunch of the lynchers' feet as
they tugged up the frowning embank-
ment"

were then undiscovered. Coal Lad
only been found on the Summit hill
and at the Beaver meadows, but even
there they had no occupation of any
continuous strata for mics. Indeed,
the coal company had offered bonus
of $500 to anyone who should discov-
er coal on their lands nearer to the
Lehigh than the Summit mine; but
there were no claims for discovery.
In the meantime, however, coal was
used for the forge fires of the black
smiths in the neighborhood, and also
in soma of the bar-roons in the tav-
erns along the roads not distant.
In 1907 the company, for the pur-
pose of bringing their coal into notice,
gave lease of p years of one OF their
coal veins to Rowland and Butland,
gratis, for the manufacture of iron,
from the ore and coal to be dug. 1t
