THREE DEAD IN
XMAS TRAGEOY
Cigarette Thrown Into Powder Causes
Disastrous Fire at Dance-Eight
Others Injured.

GREENSBURG. Pa, Dec 90
Three persons are dead, eight are in
danger OF death from their injuries
and 10 more are in the Westmore-
land hospital with painful burns, as
penalty either for somebody's care
lessness or somebody's vengeance,
while miners were holding Christ
mas celebration at Keystone Shaft

The accident occurred at the home
of Michael Wilding, while he was en-
! tertaining a party of about 25 men
and women. some of whom had come
from Youngstown. o.. to seek work
in the mines here. II is believed that
one of the men in the party, while
dance was I'm progress, threw
cigarette butt carelessly under the
stairway OF the house twenty-five
pounds of black mining powder was
stored there in an open can. Rumors
were current that striking miners
had thrown a bomb under the stair
wa. but there was no confirmation of
the report.
Flames from the powder shot
through the room and the acid smoke
blinded the dancers as they broke
away for the escape. The three who
were fatally burned and died soon af-
ter removal to the hospital are:
Josephine Fagetta, aged "a. mar
ried, Of Youngstown.
Michael Wilding, aged %, the host,

Jack Hemlinger, aged 80, single, of
Keystone Shaft
Among those seriously burned ore
Elizabeth Ross. Adam Miller, Tony
Wilding, Michael Fagetta, Nicholas
Ferr, Eva Terria, George Schultz and
Joseph Kali.
The clothing OF nearly all the
dancers took fire from the explosion
and although the room was burned
and blackened the house was not
seriously damaged Men in adioin-
ing houses rushed in with blankets
and wrapped them about the burning
women, saving many from death
