Philadelphia Especially Standing
on the Army's 3O-yard line in the
last period of Saturdays big football
match Dalton, the Nays tall half
back, kicked goal from placement
which was the only score of the con-
test. and disposed of the West Point
ers unexpectedly by to 0. Dalton
had previously attempted six goal
trials without success, so that when
he shot the oval squarely between
the posts and over the crossbars the
blue and gold enthusiasts INDUCED In
one Of the widest demonstrations of
joy ever seen at a struggle between
Uncle Sans young soldiers and sail
ors.
The Navy eleven, therefore, wound
up the campaign without being scored
on and surprised the football sharps
by display of superior physique and
skill which noplussed the hardy kick
ers from up the Hudson. Both teams
were desperately strong in offsetting
attacks when the ball neared the goal
line, but the Navy in the second half
of the struggle excelled the Army in
attacking power and ripped things
up in way that made the midship-
men cheer themselves hoarse
The game will go down in the foot
ball annals of West Point and
Annapolis as one of the cleanest and
best ever played between the two in
stitutions. 1t was fought before one
of the largest crowds that ever gath
cred on Franklin Field, and in brill
lance the great throng has hardly
ever been outshone by any as
semblage attracted to the annual bat
tie between these two arms Of the
national service.

sion In the Jumbo asphalt mine Mon
day. Five bodies have been recover
ed. The other nine miners were en-
tombed by the explosion, and Secre-E
tary Thomas of the mining company!

killed. The five men were thrown

were buried at depth of 290 feet.
Every man who lost his life was
married. The cause OF the explosion

believed to have resulted from the
formation of gas which was ignited
from the lamps of the miners. The
mine is property of the Choctaw
Asphalt Company of st. Louis.
The accident occurred just as the
day shift was going to work. Five
men were in the cage and fragments
of their bodies were blown from the
shaft, which is 29O feet deep. The
other nine men were already In the
mine. All the miners were white.
The cause of the accident is not
known.
All efforts to reach the entombed
miners have been futile as the explo-
sion wrecked the shaft.
The mine has been in operation for
ten years and is owned by q st.
Louis corporation.

Perish Within 10 Minutes.

Twenty-Five working girls are
known to have persisted, 6 others
are missing and so are injured
as q result Of the burning of
factory building at Orange and
High streets, Newark, New Jer-
sey.
The fire started on the third
floor by an explosion of gaso-
line.
Within 10 minutes the whole
four-story structure was a blaz-
ing furnace. ~
Hundreds of working girls
were trapped on the upper floors
by the rapid spread of the fire,
their only escape being by way
of two insufficient fre-escapes.
These were quickly overcrowd-
ed. A wild panic ensued, and
dozens leaped from the windows
and fire-escapes.
One girl was burned to death
sitting at her sewing machine.
The financial loss is said to be
$165. 900.

Eve girls were burned alive or crush

within 10 minutes Saturday morning.
The tragedy occurred at fire in
the factory building at Orange and

The latest count shows that 20
of the rs bodies recovered have been

missing.
They may be among the unidenti-

the injured is Joseph e. Sloane. dep

the falling wall and buried in bricks
and rubbish. He is badly hurt. but

credibly swift and threw such unreal

body Of one was found still seated on

which she had been busy when the
first cry Of fire petrified her with

Horrible as must have been the
tragedy in the smoke of that crowded

The building was furiously infiam-

had cut of all possibility of escape
by the stairways. The elevators made
one trip, but took down no passen-
gers and never came back. The only
exit was by two narrow fire-escapes.

On these overcrowded and steep
exits, made hot by the flames from
the lower windows, pressed forward
mob of women, blind with panic,
driven by the fire, and the others be-
hind them.
~ Out OF Windows To Death.
A net had been spread beneath the
windows, and the girls began to
jump.
Like rats out of a burning bin''
was the way fireman described that
pellmell descent. They bolted out of
the windows, rolled up on the heads
of those below them and cascaded
OF the fire-escape to the pavement
so feet below.
Some Of them stood in the windows
outlined against the flames and
jumped clear; others from the land
ings; still others from the steps
where they stood.
The air was full of them and they
fell everywhere-into the net, ON the
necks of firemen, and 10 of them on
the hard stone slabs.
When the jumping ceased there
were eight dead in the street and the
cutters ran red with blood.
Eleven more were so badly crushed
that they died in hospitals.
Clouds of smoke and showers of
burning embers spread over the city
and rained down on neighboring
roofs. AS the news f1ew-and it lost
nothing in the telling-panic spread
