BURNED BY
EXPLODING GAS

William r. Chambers, chief engineer
at the Hospital for the Insane, is con-
fined to his room at that institution
suffering from the effects of very pain
full burns received in an explosion Of
gas last week.
The accident occurred while work
ing in a long conduit under the main
building. Mr. Chambers had opened
up the gas main carried through the
conduit overhead for the purpose Of
making a new connection. In order
to work to a better advantage he erect
ed support and stood above the
ground with his head close to the
main.
After he had closed the pipe in or
der TO assure himself that the joint
was tight he thoughtlessIy struck a
match for the purpose of detecting
whether any gas was escaping or not.
Before he could place the match TO the
Joint, however-indeed, at the very

an explosion, a whirlwind of flame
and loud report, in which the big
| building was shaken and the man wa;
hurled from his perch and very pain
fully burned about the face, neck anG
J hands.
Mr.. Chambers was at once taken IN
to the building and placed under the
care of the Hospital physicians. He /!
doing very well at present, although
the bad burns are still very painful
and portions of his face and hands art
still raw. Yesterday he was sitting
up, but it may be some time before h,
will be able to go about as usual.
Mr.. Chambers admits that during
the brief interval that the pipe wa
disconnected the gas was permitted t.
escape into the conduit. The possibilit.
of any such an explosion, as occurred
however, was so remote that it CAV
the chief engineer no concern. His in
juries are more severe owing To tn
fact that he occupied an elevated posi-
tiOn with his head near the main. Ha
he been standing on the ground his in
juries might have been very slight

To Improve Catawissa Branch.

The Philadelphia & Reading Rail
way Company are shaping for = num-
ber of important Improvements along
the CatawiSsa branch the coming sum
mer. Paramount among the improve
ments contemplated will be the posi-
bic abandonment of Ryan's tunnel and
the extension of Alta siding north of
Lofty for a distance of 700 feet. With
this plan in view a corps of surveyors
are engaged at Ryan's tunnel. The
plan as far as can be ascertaine1 Is to
make a new road bed for a distance
around the side of Ryan's mountain,
which will reduce the curve OF the
road and permit of the abandonment
of the tunnel The plan has been un.
der consideration for some time and
judging from present indications II
will soon be brought to successful
issue. The extension of Alta siding
will shortly be commenced. 1t is be
ing done on account of the increased
traffic on this part of the system.

MINERS PREPARING
FOR STRIKE

Operators, miners and State author
tiles are preparing for the greatest
strike in the history Of the country
when the United Mine Workers lay
down their tools April /.
While the miners are preparing for
the struggle By gathering together
SO, 900, 600 strike fund and the opera
tors are pushing their mines to their
utmost to get a stock ahead, the State
authorities are rushing the equipment
of the new State constabulary, which
was organized in anticipation OF this
strike.
There are four troops Of this organ
| ization, and their arms and uniforms
are now being sent out from the State
arsenal at Harrisburg. The authorities
look for serious trouble and are pre-
pairing to meet it with such force as
may be necessary.
The State constabulary recently
sworn in. numbering 240 men, divid-
ed into four companies, every man
former member of the United States
Army. United States Navy or the Ma
tional Guard, will be armed and ready
by April l to patrol the danger points
where the strikers threaten property
or persons. 1t is expected that with
this body, having more authority than
any police force of the State, 1t will
be unnecessary to call out the Nation
al Guard TO protect property, as has
been the case in the coal strikes of the
past two decades.
Pittsburg coal operators counted on
the support of John Mitchell to aid
them against the anthracite coal oper-
ators in forcing them into shutdown.
John Mitchell, it is believed, has been
carried away by the radical element,
headed by Tom L. Lewis, Of Ohio, and
d. Ryan, of Illinois, and these men
will be the real leaders i'll the strike.
The anthracite operators have stored
millions of tons of coal in eastern
PENNSYLVANIA This coal will be tax
Ell out so that the strike can be carri-
ed on for year if necessary. 1t Is
said that it is the intention of the OPP
orators of the east to maintain prices
euuitably during the strike period sc
as to keep the public satisfied, as 1t j
the intention to break up the miners
uniOp rather than make any money out
of the fight.
The bituminous coal operators start
ed last fall to store some coal. They
were suddenly confronted with de
mand for coal and advanced prices
which consumed the surplus thus stor
ed away. BY the fist of April it il
doubtful if there will be two week
supply of the coal stored.
THINK STRIKE ASSURED.
During the past few DAYS there ha
/ been a remarkable change in the opin
, ion Of coal operators III the anthracite
region and men who hold high office
in the United Mine Workers and VIII
are known to be close to Presiden
Mitchell regarding the possibility of
. strike.
When the Shamokin convention ad
e journed the region settled down to tn,
e conviction that an amicable adjust
, ment would be reached. But the actio
g of the soft coal miners and the dc
Y claration of President Mitchell that
n strike is ordered it will include tn
: anthracite men have created the belle
that the prospects Of peace are exceed
ingly remote.
