A TRAGIC INCIDENT
In a Passage OF Coal Mine in Penn.
sylvania.

A telegram received at the Susque-
hanna Coal company's Office, Wilkes
barre, Wednesday evening states that
ten miners were suffocated by gas and
sulphur fumes from small locomo-
tive this afternoon in the workings Of
the Summit Branch Coal company at
Williamstown, Dauphin county.
The accident was one Of the M 1st
peculiar In the history Of the anthra-
cite mines and no reason for it can be
assigned by the officials. The victims
include Michael Golden, general In
side foreman Of the company, and
nine miners and laborers.
The tunnel in which the disaster
occurred Is one mile In length and is
used by the coal company to convey
the coal miners In the workings In the
Bear valley to the breaker In the Will
liams valley.
About o'clock Wednesday after
noon Gen. Inside Foreman Golden
and about 50 miners boarded d loaded
train which was about to be hauled
from Bear Valley to Williamson.
Everything went all right until about
half the journey was made when some
OF tile men attracted the attention of
the engineer who at once stopped, and
it WIS found that nearly every man in
the party on the cars had been over
come by the gas and sulphur Which
emanated from the stack of the loco
motive and tloated back over them.
The engineer at once crowded on all
steam possible and the unconscious
men were hurried to the Williamson
end Of the tunnel. Here help was at
once summoned and the men were
taken to the surface, where corps of
physicians made every possible effort
to reSuscitate them, but aid came too
late for Foreman Golden and the other
victims

There Will Be No County to County

TIE PRESIDENTIAL ELEcroRs.
Congressional Meetings Will Have
to Be Sufficient to Satisfy Rec
quirement OF the Primary
System This Year. ~

The Democratic executive commit
tee met Thursday night in the office
Of the secretary of State. There was q
full attendance, only o few OF the
members being absent.
Senator Tillman, as national COM
mitteeman, was present, but be took
no part In the proceedings nor had
cnything to say In regard to the many
points raised as to party rules.
The committee was called to meet
especially to select nominees for presi-
dential electors, but various other
questions came up and were discussed,
the result being that nothing was done
which changes the party rules. In this
connection, however, the committee
put itself on record as favoring the
abolition Of the county to county can
vass In any case where candidates for
State Offices have no opposition. The
idea that meetings might be held in
each congressional district seemed to
be favorablY considered, thought it
was quite evident that the committee
had no idea Of suggesting an abolition
of the primary.
Mr.. ]. G. Richards OF Kershaw
brought up the question and moved
that a canvass by the candidates be
not made compulsory, as it is acuord-
ing to the rules. He said that such q
canvass was expensive to candidates
as we'll as tC the people, and he didn't
see why the people should be afflicted
unless they wanted to be. This idea
met with general approval and when
It vas announced IL N lia received with
general laughter.
Finally the committee adopted Mr.
Richards suggestion. This means that
it is the opinion Of the committee that
a county to equity canvass should be
abandoned In cases where candidates
have no opposition and that meetings
In congressional districts will satisfy
all the requirements of the primary
system. The opinion was expressed,
but no change in the rules of the party
was made.
1t was decided that the campaign
should begin on June 21st. A COM
mittee was appointed to make out the
itinerary, and that committee will
meet here one week hence.
When it came TO the nomination OF
the presidential electors the following
nominations were made for electors Of I
George Johnstone Of aseWb bergs.5 81, 81
Henderson Of Aiken. On the first bal e
lot Mr.. Cunningham was elected and
there was a tie between the other two
candidates. Mr.. Henderson's name
was withdrawn and the election of Mr..
tombstone was made unanimous.

from the congressional districts: NJ
