KILLED IN MINE SHAFT.
Five Men Dead and Four Others
Seriously In iured.

Five men were killed. four others
are in the hospital so seriously hurt
that they may die, and four members
of a rescuilg party narrowly es-
capped being buried alive by gas
explosion in the new shaft of the
Taylor Coal ana Coke Company, near
Searights, Pa. The disaster was the
worst to occur in the Connellsville
coke region since the Ferguson ex-
plosion in November, 1908.
For two months the contractors
have encountered considerable diff
Guilty on account of the wet weather.
For two weeks the mouth of the
shaft has been crumbling, and it
was decided to build a casing with
concrete crown inside of it. The
night shift had been employed on
this work.
About O'Clock in the morning
Foreman George Thomas descended
into the shaft with a lighted torch
to start the pumps in order to get
the water out of the bottom of the
shaft for the day men to go to work.
When he had reached within about
20 feet of the bottom a terrible ex-
plosion occurred, the force of which
blew Thomas out of the shaft in the
iron bucket in which he had gone
down, at least so feet above the
shaft He fell back, alighting on one
of the projecting timbers, while the
bucket landed on the surface.
All of the eight men who were
working on platform, were similar
ly affected by the explosion, four of
them falling to the bottom of the
shaft
A rescue party began work at once
and after getting all Of the men out
of the shaft, excepting one dead body
at the bottom, they went down after
him. While at the bottom, the entire
top of the shaft caved in on them,
and it was feared that they would be
smothered, but after 80 minutes they
were released, but slightly injured.

NO MORE COMING TOWERS.
Government to Do Away With Sup
posed Safety Device.

1t is reported at the New York
Navy Yard that the coming tower at
present in use on United States
warships will be discontinued or so
modified as to cease to be the CEN
tral control station of the ships
movements. In the recent naval bat
ties in the Far East, the Japanese
concentrated heavy fire on the
towers, the communication system
was dislocated and some of the Rus
sian ships rendered unmanageable.
One of the alternative propositions
is to reserve an armor protected
space lower in the ships structure,
from which the officer in charge
might direct movements. 1t is re-
ported also that coming towers will
be altered in the Maine, Missouri,
Kentucky, Kearsage and Illinois.

year. The committee also agreed to
the removal of the limit of output in
all mills; the rebate to be one and

The northern districts of the coun-

for rapid growth, but in the Southern
States the temperatures were highly
favorable. Excessively heavy rains
from the central and west gulf dis
tricts northward oven the western
portion of the central valleys, while

coasts were generally favorable.
Rain is much needed in the Southern
