London Especially. - Court, mill
tary and municipal officials working
at high pressure for the past few
days have completed the details of
arrangements for the kings funeral
ceremonies Friday The preliminary
obsequies began Saturday, when the
kings body, after his brother-the
Duke of Connaught-took his fare
well look, was removed from the
simple deathroom to the splendid
throneroom of the palace.
On Tuesday 1t was removed with
professional pomp to Westminster
Hall, where 1t will lie publicly in
state until Friday. Upon the arrival
OF the body at Westminster Hall "A
brief religious service was conducted
by the Archbishop of Canterbury and
the Bishop of London.
The services were attended by the
members of the House OF Lords and
House of Commons. The hall was
mot draped, and the ceremonial was
of magnificent simplicity. The coffin
was rested on a craped catafalque.
The only sign of decoration in the
ancient hall was of a purple cloth
covering the platform of the catafal-
que and the trappings of the bier.
The King and Queen, the queen
mother and the other roval mourn
ers were grouped about the catafal-
que during the brief service.
Army OF Soldiers.
Thirty thousand soldiers will be
brought from Aldershot and other
military camps to line the streets on
Friday, when the procession passes.
AS there is no room to barrack
them over night the soldiers will
bivouac in the parks and streets.
The city will have the appearance Of
an invested town for two days.
Some of the soldiers will sleep in
tents in the parks, while the re-
mainder will lie down beside their
guns in the streets.
A Wealth OF Flowers.
The flowers alone contributed by
organization and individuals will rep
resent many thousands of dollars in
value. The most elaborate wreath
mas been sent from Windsor, con-
Blstlng of costly white flowers. inter-
woven with purple, which is the
royal mourning color. The wreaths
contributed by private individuals,
numbering thousands, will be hung
on posts in the streets.
Fabulous prices are being asked
for seats In the stands along the
line, $25 being the lowest sum at
which 1t Is possible to get place.
The householders overlooking Trafal-
gar Square have sent a protest to
the Lord Chamberlain for again
changing the line of march, which
cuts off and deprives them of eagerly
expected profits.
King George being so closely iden-
titled with the navy, the naval con-
tingent will take a prominent part
in the ceremonies. Bluejackets will
draw the gun carriage to Windsor
as they did the carriage which bore
the body of Victoria although on
that occasion they did so because
the horses became restive.
The hymns which will be sung at
the service at Windsor are all of
the Queen mothers choice. They
are: MY God My Father, While !
Stray" Now the Laborer's Task Is
O'er' and 81 Heard a Voice From
Heaven"

High Barometric Conditions Cause
Explosion In A Mine.

Manchester, Eng. Especially One
hundred and thirty-seven miners lost
their lives In an explosion in the
Wellington coal mine. at White
Haven. Rescue parties succeeded in
saving four men, but fire has broken
out in the workings, leaving practi-
cally no hope for those who are still
entombed.
A curious fact is that a colliery
warning was published in many of
the newspapers In the mining dis
tricts OF the Kingdom to the affect
that unusually high barometric con-
ditions rendered firedamp explosions
extremely probable and that all
underground workers ought there
fore TO be on the alert.

STRUGGLE FOR LIFE
IN A POND
Six Girls and Two Boys Drown
While Out For a FrOlic.
SURVIVORS TELL OF TERRIFIC BATTLE.
Victims We're Members Of The Grad
uating And Junior Glasses OF The
Huntington Mills High School,
Near Wilkes Barre, Pa. - Boys
Rocked Boats, Then All Went
Overboard--Struggling Students
Pull Over Other Boats That Go
To Their Assistance.

.lI IL
Wilkes Barrel Pa. Especially -
Six girls and two boys, members of
the graduating and the junior class
es at the Huntington Mills High
School, 10 miles from here, we're
drowned in a mill pond near the
school Four other boys managed
to reach shore and save themselves.
The drowned were all between 16
and 18 years old, and had been busy
during the morning preparing for
the graduating exercises.
The pupils came to the school
from some distance and carried
lunch. After this had been eaten
at noon, party of the older ones,
six girls and six boys, proposed going
for a row on the old mill pond.
They embarked in two boats about
l O'Clock. Fifteen minutes after
ward eight of them we're dead.
No one on shore saw the party
embarking or witnessed the accident.
The mill pond is some distance from
the school. The old paper mill there
is abandoned, and a fringe of trees
shuts off the sight OF the water from
the road. The pond. though deep,
is narrow. There are several boats
there.
The four survivors, George Dod-
son, Uriah Weitzel, Jay Rooms and
Harold Bell, tell a confused story.
They and the victims had often been
out on the mill pond before. They
went down to the water in couples.
At the side of the dam they got two
small rowboats and three boys ard
three girls crowded into each.
There was much frolicking and
laughter as the boats were pushed
off side by side. The girls teased
each other and the boys about their
companions. There was much
splashing of water with the oars,
and some of the party used their
hands and threw water on the
others. The boats drifted to the
middle of the pond and we're several
yards apart.
In one boat where the boys and
girls we're having very jolly time
q boy got up to change his seat.
Who 1t was the survivors do not Ye-
member. They have an idea that
perhaps two or three of the boys
stood up at the same time. The
boat rocked some, the girls shrek, :
and the boys rocked the boat a little
more. It dipped some water and the
girls, thoroughly alarmed, sprang up.
The next instant the boat overturned
and all six we're in the water with
chorus of screams for help.
The other boat, only a few yards
away. reached the six struggling in
the water with half dozen strokes
OF the oars. Those in the boat were
apparently as excited as those In the
water. Every one seemed to be
screaming some direction or shrek
ing for help. Those in the boat
reached out to get their playmates.
those in the water seized the sides NJ
of the boat and tried to scramble
In. Their weight on the gunwaIes
pulled the boat beneath the water
or they upset 1t while trying to climb
in. Whatever happened, happened
quickly, for the second boat was
barely among those struggling in the
water before its six inmates were
also overheard

The Fulton County news. [volume] (McConnellsburg, Pa.) 1899-current, 1910-05-19

Washington, D. c. Especially An
earthquake, causing tremors lasting
4S minutes, was recorded by the
instruments at Georgetown Univer-
sity Observatory, at the Weather Blu
reau and at the Coast and Geodetic
Survey Magnetic Observatory at
Cheltenham, Md. The tremors of the
seismograph were accompanied by
distinct shocks, it was said, at the
Georgetown Observatory. Father
Francis Torndorf, who recorded the
vibrations of the instrument, said
that the tremors we're the most un-
usual ever noted at the observatory
on account of their alternating di-
rections. AS the motion was prin-
cipally east and west, 1t is believed
that the disturbance occurred some
where in the West, probably along
the Pacific Coast.
The tremors of the instrument be-
gan at 3.26 O'Clock A. M. The elec-
tromagnetic instrument recorded the
first shock just two minutes after
the preliminary movement began.
At 336 the second shock came, last
ing four minutes. The third shock
was at 3.45 and lasted two minutes.
The first shock was by far the heavi-
est. II is not believed, however, that
the earthquake could have been Sc
we're.
The Weather Bureau issued the
following bulletin about the quake
"An earthquake of moderate in
tensity was recorded on the seis-
mograph of the Weather Bureau in
the early morning. The most COM
plete record is shown on the instru-
ment recording east and west mo-
tion. The preliminary tremors be-
gan at 3.15 A. M, seventy-fifth meri-
dian time, and the principal portion
of the disturbance began at o'clock,
2e minutes, 40 seconds.
"The amplitude of the motion was
only moderate during the whole dis
turbance, but was prolonged over
the greater length of time than usual
with earthquakes of this degree OF
intensity. The characteristic phases
of earthquake records are not clearly
defined in the present case, but 1t is
estimated that the disturbance was
at distance Of from 1000 to $500
miles. No information is at hand
as to the direction of the disturbance
from Washington or its probable or
igin."
