Fourteen Near Death Hospital,
Others Slightly Hurt.

lor Hospital and IL others suffered
slight burns as the result of terrific
explosion of gas that swept through
a portion of the Clark vein of the
Holden mine of the Delaware, Lack

North Taylor, four miles from here.
Whether or not 80 other miners at
work in the affected section escaped
was in doubt up to 10 o'clock, when
Mine Inspector David Williams felt
safe in saying they were all out of
the mine and, alive. This statement
he made only after it was possible for
searching parties to make tour of
the affected part of the mine, and
who returned with the report that
they could find no men in the work
ings who had been reported missing.
Still this news was not reassuring
to hundreds who gathered about the
shafts head, for the doubt and fears
of the afternoon and evening were
not removed, and they felt certain
that there were yet others whose
lifeless bodies would be found later.

KILLED BY AMMONIA.
Two Firemen Meet Death BY Deadly
Fumes.

New York (Special) 1.-TWO firemen
were killed and IL others rendered
unconscious by ammonia fumes at
the fire in the basement of market
in Eighth Avenue. One of those who
was made unconscious may die,
while the condition of two others is
serious.
The dead are Adam Damn and
Harry F. Baker.
But for the heroic work of three
rescuing parties the death list would
have been larger. tasa
Damn and Baker had carried q
pipe through the basement and into
an opening leading to subcellar,
when they called for water pressure.
However, when other firemen reached
the hole to assist them in directing
the hose upon the blaze Damn and
Baker were not to be seen. Am
monia fumes poured up through the
hole and filled the basement. The
fire had melted the coupling of one
of the ammonia pipes connected with
the cold-storage plant of the market.

Damn and Baker carried up from
the hole with difficulty. They died
soon afterwards. Each of the res
cuers succunbed on reaching the
outer air. Roll call revealed the fact

down in the hole, where he had gone
in search of victims of the fumes,
and he was brought to the surface.
