Easton. Pa, April 14.-By q prems
tpre explosion in the stone quarry OF
the Nazareth Portland Cement COM
pany,. between this city and Nazareth,
twelve men were covered under SoUo
tons of rock. Eleven are dead and the
other was injured so seriously that he
cannot recover.
All the victims are Hungarians and
Italians, and it is impossible to secure
their names, as they were known only
by numbers.
The quarry force were preparing to
set off a blast in four holes, each OF
them twenty-four feet deep. and had
Alled the holes with hundreds OF
pounds of dynamite. From some un-
known cause the charges suddenly ex-
ploded Men were scattered in all
directions, some being sent many feet
into the air. The entire side OF the
mountain OF rock was torn loose. and
the unfortunate victims were covered
with earth and stone.
A large. force of men was assem-
bled az soon as possible and every ef-
fort was made to reach the victims,
but it was nearly three hours before
the first man was found.
Every man available about the
works and all laborers who could be
found in Nazareth, a mile or more
from the scene of the accident, were
put to work clearing away the fallen

came the rocks, and stones were en-
countered that had to be blasted be-
fore they could be moved.
The roar of the explosion was no
tice to the people of Nazareth and the
surrounding countr ythat an accident
had happened, and people began to
flock to the quarry.
When the wives and children of the
men reached the place there was
scene that will long be remembered
by those who beheld 1t. Some women
wept and moaned. while others be
came enraged and threatened ven
geance on the officers and foremen Of
the company.
II was some time before they could
be ouieted, and only then after fellow
countrymen of the victims had been
brought from the mills of the cement
company to explain the situation and
assure the women that the fault was
not with the foremen and that the
bodies OF the men would be recovered.

fight in new country where rain was
scarce and crops were few. And all were
possessed OF rare courage and splendid
hope.
Nature had done so little for Peter

folks and ''fsir ladies'" And Peters
manners were not as refined or easy as
were the manners OF boys who had moth
ers or grandmothers to instruct them In
such things Peter knew no refined femi-
nine influence. His grandmothers had died
before his birth His mother had depart

three. So, from infancy Peters sole
teacher and daily companion at home had
been bis good-natured, weIl-meaning but

Peter went to the little district school

was taught by a young msn who did not

who had mothers did learn "hnery at

or caps on entering house; 70 talk
quietly and to laugh moderately; TO ask
few questions, and to avoid being rude
or bold toward others; TO use knife and
fork properly and many other ways TO
follow certain rules Of etiquette
And Peter Anderson, having none OF
this training soon became known as
plain Pete Both in manner and ap-
pearance Peter was most unprepossessing.
And often his comrades st school made
jests at his expense.
when joked concerning bis huge hands
and feet and long sinewy arms he
would laugh broadly and declare: But

up his fists and straighten out his muscu-
lar arms, showing his strength ''GoIly,

day.

The run between the farms OF Ander-

and Pete had the advantage Of the Ere,
as he was going east, the direction the
fire was travelling. So he had that much
. in his favor. But twice he was obliged
to slacken his pace, for the burden on
