ALL BREWERS
HAVE RAISED
BEER PRICE
Increases From Soc to Soc
a Barrel Precedent for
New York Concerns.

Since the brewers found il necessary
to raise the price of beer to saloon
keepers In this city, the various brewing
concerns, following each other, have
been making the increase, and today
Gottfried Kruger, president of the
State Brewers Association, stated that
as far as he was aware, all the brewers
OF Newark had raised the price of beef
anywhere from thirty. to eighty cents
per barrel.
"This matter of raising the price Is
not an association matter" said Mr.
Krueger. but an option which all the
brewers have the right to exercise In
divldually, with no restrictions as to
how much the raise should be nor
when IL is to be made"
General dissatisfaction at the brew
ers' action was created among the re-
tailers at first, and efforts were made
to get prices back to where they were,
In New York howl of protest has
been raised by the saloonkeepers, who
may have TO pay 81 moro a barrel than
they did formerly, such raise having
been threatened by New York brewers.
Cne prominent brewer. however, stated
there would not be an increase made
in the price.
The New York brewers are instancing
the action of those in this city as prece-
dents for the proposed jump.

UNDERGROUND
MINERS FLEE
FROM FIRE
40, in 5-HOur Flight, Sob on
Reaching Surface. Had
FrightfuI Experience.

MONONGAIIEI4A, Pa, Jan. 18.--
Mlraculously escaping death by crema-
ton or suffocation, or being blown to
pieces by an explosion, forty miners
employed in the Catsburs mine Of the
Monongahela River Consolidated Coal
and Coke Company made their way
through the dark headings for dis
tance OF seven miles and finally reached
the open air.
Without lights 10 guide them and
given up as dead. the men battled for
five hours with FIRE, and when they
reached the surface their faces we're
blackened, clothes torn and all were
severely bruised from stumbling in
their flight for safety Fortunately the
mine contained very little gas or an
other mine disaster would have been re-
corded in western Pennsylvania.
The mine was fired some time dur
ing the day by blowout shot, and
when the fire was discovered at 9
o'clock last night by the forty men all
escaped to the surface, although the
Monongahela entrance was cut off.
Momentarily expecting an explosion,
with its horrible consequences, the men
started, panic-stricken, for the entrance
at Chsrieroi. seven miles away. In
their frenzy they stumbled and fell,
but only to jump up again and con-
tinue their mad rush for safety.
The experience was probably the
most frlghtful a body of coal miners
has ever had. When the men reached
the surface at a. m. today q ma
Jority of them were sobbing like chill
dren.
A large force of men are today brat
ticing the part of the mine which
caught fire. and it is believed the dam
age win be small.

Eyans'S Fleet Surgeons See
Operation in JaneirO
Hospital.

RIO JANEIRO, Jan. 1S.-The sur

with those from the German cruiser
Bremen and the italian cruiser Puglia,
visited the principal hospitals of the
city, and at one Of tho institutions

Brazilian surgeon.
The bands from the Connecticut. the
Georgia, the Minnesota and the Ala
bama will come ashore on Monday
which is the anniversary Of the found
ing of the city of Rio Janelro, and play
IN the public squares and parks.
The reception and garden party ten
dered the officers of the fleet by the
Naval Club took place at the Botanical
Gardens amidst most picturesque sur
roundings, and proved a magnificent
success. More than three thousand per-
sons were i'm attendance. All the Amer
leans wore boutonnteres of the Brazilian
and American colors in the form of
small bows, while the Brazilian officers
wore miniature American flags as bou-
tonnieres.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S.--It seems
probable now that the torpedo boat
flotilla on its way TO the Pacific will
not pay a visit to Buenos Ayres, as
was intended, and it is probable that
the entire cruise up the River Platte
win be cut out. An official statement
on the subject issued by the Navy De-
partment today is as follows:
"Tte torpedo boat fotilla having
fe1lest ao far bahipd their Itinerary. the
commander-m-che of the battleship
fleet has requested that the destroyers
accompany the battleships from Rio
Jaueiro to Sandy Point The COM
mander-in-chief has been authorized
by the department TO use his discretion
in this matter and it is quite likely that
the destroyers will not stop at any in-
termediate point between Rio and
Sandy Point"
The whole matter depends upon Admiral
Evsns's Judgment and according TO naval
officials he Is fully authorized to change
the itinerary Of the torpedo boat fiotilla in
his direction.
