TWBLVS MaM KILLED
BY q Largo Mass OF Stone Failing
Upon Them

A mass of limestone weighing
thousands Of tons slid from a side OF
the quarry OF mill A OF the Lahigh
Portland Cement company at Orm.
rod, Pa, at noon Wednesday just five
minutes before time to quit work.
Twenty-seven men were ct work in
the quarry, which is 1000 feet long,
100 feet across and 100 feet deep. The
heavy rains Of the past two days had
softened the earth and caused the slide
Of rock.
Where tho fallen mass slipped away
a smooth, nearly perpendicular wall
"aB left, rising sheer 100 feet above
the bottom OF the quarry, while the
entire quarry floor vas covered with
broken, Jagged rock, Only nine Of
the men got away safely, four Of whom
escaped by running up on q mass Of
rock at the opposite side Of the quar-.
ry. The remaining Is were hu1dleo
In a spacs ten feet square, and IL OF
them we're killed and SIX Injured. Two
OF the latter may die. All Of the
men are Slavon!ans who lived In shan
ties close to the quarry.
Two men who saw the side Of the
quarry CULVER shouted a warning to
the men. The mon misIntefpreted
the called and failed TO moved ou5 Of
zono Of danger until 1t was too l&te.
With q thundcrQu, roar the mountain
OF rock fell, plnning the mon fast.
the r scuerB found six men huddlcd
In one place, four standing and two
lying down. Three we're alive aud
one died before he could be COTTON out
Five physicians were summoned who
gave the injured first aid on tho scene
and then had them hurried In w&gofs
TO the Allentown hospital. The dead
were laid on boards aud carried to the
stock house. Eight bodies were re-
covered before dark, at which time
two more were exposed TO view ana
two others buried deep in the pit
Tho latter's bodies may not be- reached
until Thursday.
Most OF the men killed or injured
are single. Others had families In the
old country. A number OF women
from the foreign colony ran TO the
quarry when tie news Of the accident
reached them and their moaning and
anguish we're DitIable.

DRAD AT THE THROTTLE.
Train Sped Past Signals After the
Epgtncor Was Killed.

Eugincor Was Killed.
William It. StSot, of Harrison, N.
j.. the fireman OF the fast Flying
Virginian, the chesapeake and Ohio
railroad through express to st. Louis,
which left Jersey Oily at b:52 O'Clock
last evening, saved the lives of his
passengers by taking charge Of the
locomotive after the engineer, Dan
Mahoney, had been killed In the cub.
When Stoot grasped the throttle and
Slackened the speed the train had al.
ready passed at least two danger
signals.
The train made Trenton on sched
ule time last night, but pulled out
Of that city with a smoking journal.
Mahoney was afraid Of that Journal
and kept a watch on 1t as he sped
alorg. To do so he had to lean out
Of tie cab while he kept one hand on
the throttle. O0ce he bent too far
forward out Of his cab window to get
q glimpse Of the defective journal and
hts head was struck by a signal post.
Death was probably instantaneous.
Tho locomotive gathered steam
and picked up speed. 1t was Of the
big hogback type, and it is, therefore
imp 0ssible for the fireman to see the
engineer. TO Fireman Stool the
train seemed to have attained the
velocity OF a cannon ball. He had
hardly a moments lull In his work OF
shoveling on coal. AS he stopped to
mop the Precipitation from his brow,
a lucky glance through the other side
Of the cab revealed a red light.
Dan" he yelled, but there was no
answer. Another instant a second
red light was passed. 1t was plain
that % something was wrong and that
he and the passengers behind him, as
things then stood, were riding to al.
most certain death. For Gods sake,
why don't you slow her up?" he again
called to the engineer. I'VE have
pissed two red bugs. Check her,
Dan, for Gods sake" In the Ian
guage Of railroad men red bug"
means q danger signal.
Every moment the engine bounded
faster until the telegraph poles seem
ed to Stoot like lead pencils. After
his second warning cry he did not
Wait for an answer, but began to
Chamber over into the engineers side
to Investigate. He found Mahoney
dead. His ~lifcless hand was Still on
the throttle and his head, wet with
blood, rested on the edge Of the win
dow. Stoot slowed down the engine.
Then he took the train on to West
Philadelphia, after putting another
man at his own end of the boiler.
Not a passenger nor the conductor
knew OF the peril Of the train. Ma.
honey lived In Brooklyn, and the
body was sent there. He was 40
years old. About a year ago his
wife was killed in q trolley accident
In Newark.

WEATHER M CROPS.
Pionty of Rain, Much of 1t Was Badly
Needed Too.

NeSu0O 1OOs
In his weather and crop report Sec
tion Director Bauer says that the
mean temperature for the week end.
Ing Monday, Aug. 14bh, was slightly
above normal, over the eastern half
and slightly below over the western.
The extremes were q maximum OF 1O3
degrees at Blackville on tie 8lh, and
a minimum Of 81 degrees at Green
vile on the 9th. There was less than
the usual amount Of sunshine. High
winds, damaging to corn and cotton,
prevailed during the middle Of the
week in the western counties. Bot.
tom lands were flooded alongsth the up.
per portions Of the Saluda, Broad,
Wateree and Great Pee Dee rivers and
their tributaries, and considerable
corn destroyed.
The long drought was broken over
the entire state. The rainfall was
heaviest In the central counties where
1t amounted, in places, to over six
Inches, and was least in Beaufort and
Georgetown counties, where it was
generally less than half an inch.
There was rain nearly every day and
the ground Is now thoroughly satur.
ated. The rain was needed and In
places SSwas very beneficial, but in
others 1T caused deterioration In crops
especially cotton, and in~terferred with
farm work, especially haying and
pulling fodder. Nearly all crops have
been laid by, and further cultivation
is now impracticable.
With very few exceptions, the re-
ports on cotton indicate rapid deteri.
Grafton due to excessive shedding,
rust and the plants turning yellow.
These conditions prevail over prac,i
cally the entire STATE, but are most
marked on sandy lands. In many
places growth has stopped, while Ia a
few plants are making new growth.
Bolls are opening rapidly in the south
central ctunties and considerable has
been picked. Tue excessive heat of
the 9TH, 9th, It'll and 86h was very
damaging on cotton.
There is a general Enforcement in
the condition Of the late corn due to
the ample moisture which came on
portunely. Tobacco curing Is nearly
finished. Peas, sweet potatoes ami
all varieties OF cane are doing we'll.
The frtQlcnt rains interferrcd with
