Fonr Crushed in Mine.

Three miners were instantly killed
and three others injured, one mortally,
in an accident 400 feet below the sur
face, in the Andoyer mine, at Hiber-
mia, due to q seam in the hanging wall
whose presence was not suspected.
Those instantly killed were Lawrence
Bednacht, aged forty-four, whose wife
and children are in Hungary; John,
Koza, aged twenty-five and Borchuck
Yareyetz, aged thirty, both Poles, who
had come to Hibernia about week or
SO ago. Stephen Debarick, one of the
injured, died in the Memorial Hospi-
tai, Morristown. Mike Kasina, charge
man, and John Okla. machine rum
ner, were slightly injured. The men
were placing a compressed air drill in
position when a slab of rock weighing
several tons parted from the hanging
wall and fell on them. When the slab
was raised by rescuers Koza and Var
eyetz were so badly crushed that it
was almost impossible to tell them
apart, although one was tall and heav-
lily built and the other short and of
slight build. superintendent James
Reed, employed in the Andover mine
for thirty years, says that it was the
worst accident that has ever occurred
In the mine.

seven- Ton Boiler tn RUNAWAY.


-Four big horses ran away down the
steep Highland Park Hill, across the
Albany street bridge, into the city of
New Brunswick with truck on which
there was O seven-ton boiler banging
behind There were all the elements of
a catastrophe, but not a person was
hurt nor a bit Of damage done. The
run started at the top of the steep
Highland Park Fill. A whiffietree
Glanced to strike the heels OF the wheel
horses, and they plunged forward,
starting the truck down hill. Once
started, it was impossible to stop the
load. People who saw the runaways
rushed on ahead, warning everybody
to get out Of the roadway. Fortunately
the draw of the Albany street bridge
was closed and there were no trolley
cars on it. The great boiler went
across the bridge almost as rapidly as
railroad train threatening every mo-
ment to overturn. The horses crashed
down the slope to Albany street, the
boiler getting a fresh start. Then the
leaders chose to turn into Peace street,
where the roadway is only twelve feet
wide. They made the turn neatly,
bringing tfes truck around on two
wheels, without as much as touching
curb. The turn checked the speed OF
the truck and the horses slowed down.
The leaders broke away from the
wheelers and ran about half block
and stopped Of their own accord. The
truckmen were able to resume their
journey Immediately.
