As BOATS CRASH
IN De NSE FOG

When their rowboat was run down
and capsized by the ferryboat Perth
Amboy in a dense fog about $40
O'Clock yesterday morning, John
kaufman, twenty-seven years old, OF
III Chauncey street, was drowned
in the sound about 200 yards below
the Tottenville slip, and his brother,
Michael kaufman, of the same ad-
dress, escaped by climbing into one
of the partments of the port
| paddle wheel John Kaufman's body
was found weighted down in the
channel, entangled in the anchor
rope and fishing lines, by two fisher
men an hourslater. Another drown
ing occurred in the Railway river at
the foot of Woodbridge avenue,
Saturday afternoon, when nine-year-
old James Anthoney, of Totten street,
Railway, fell from a dock. The body
was recovered.
The body of John Kaufman was
found by Joseph e. Kuzman and
James Edwards, of $50 Elizabeth
street, this city 1t was taken to the
Tottenville shore and removed to
Bedells morgue in Amboy avenue.
following the notification OF the
coroner by the police of the Ninety
ninth precinct. This morning
Thomas f, Burke, of this city, re-
moved it to his morgue to prepare it
for burial. Kaufman was unmar-
rieG.
John and Michael kaufman had
| made an early start on a fishing ex-
pedition and had left the Perth Az,
1 boy shore about 6 O'Clock >'T,ttapoy ~

Hook in the fog. Wh-
Captain Raymond Ellis, of ssssHae4l
4 Vile, who was plotting the ferryboat
the big craft was within twenty-five
yards of the rowboat. The Kaufman
! brothers seemed to be trying to avoid
| the ferryboat and were rowing rapid
! ly across the channel from the Tot
! tenville shore. According to Captain
Ellis If they had stopped rowing the
small craft would not have been
struck. The rowboat was propelled
straight into the course of the ferry
boat. The captain gave the signal
to the engineer to reverse the engine,
but the heavy craft could not be
stopped before the rowboat had been
struck about midship. The strong
undertow of the big craft upset the
little boat, and both men sank in the
channel The ferryboat, with it's
engine reversed soon came to a stop
and life preservers were thrown
! overheard. The crew, however,
could not see either of the two men
and thought both were drowned. Just
as the captain was about to give the
| signal to the engineer to start the
engine, he heard cry from the port
paddle wheel and members of the
crew found Michael Kaufman almost
strangled in one of the compartments
of the big wheel He was helped
aboard and brought to Perth Amboy
and taken to his home. The man
was badly shocked, but only sustain-
ed minor physical injuries. The
body of the drowned man was not
| found until an hour later when the
two fishermen located the rowboat
upside down in the channel. They
| Strengthened the craft and hauled up
the anchor to tow it ashore. Inter-
twined around the grapnel with fish
! ing cords and the anchor line they
found the body.

The Explosion Occurs
While Men Are Be.
in G Lowered In to
Mine at Scranton
ALL DROP 100
FEET TO BOTTOM
Miraculous Escape Of Driver Boss in
Cage When Latter Is Ripped to
Pieces and All the Occupants Hurled
Down Shaft
BY Associated Press.

Scranton, Pa, Dec. 9.-Thirteen
mine workers were killed in the Dia-
mond shaft of the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna and Western Company here to-
day when box of dynamite being low
cred into the mine with fourteen men
exploded wrecking the descending ear
riage and dropping the victims to the
bottom of the shaft. The one man who
! escaped alive is Martin Belinski,
driver boss.
The accident occurred when the men
were going to work and at a time when
the entrance to the mine was crowded
with men waiting to be lowered to the
various levels. There is always a
scramble among the men to get on the
carriage and for this reason the number
of men who were on the cage and their
identity was not known for several
| hours after the accident.
The carriage hands descended to
about 100 feet from the bottom of the
shaft when from some unknown cause
the dynamite exploded. The cage was
ripped to pieces and all the men were
dropped into the water and mine refuse
at the bottom of the shaft. The es-
| NaPp VI tho ullNSI DUSS is
almost miraculous by the mine officials.
1t was an hour before the first vic
tim s body was recovered. Nearly all
the victims were badly mangled and
some were torn to pieces, showing that
they were instantly killed by the ex-
plosion.
The news of the accident spread rap
idly. The part of the city in which
the mine is located is less than half
mile from the business center. Thou
sands gathered at the head of the shaft.
The field about the place filled with
women and children imploring news
concerning the victims.
Among the victims was Thomas
Thomas, of West Scranton, veteran
miner, who was so decrepit that he
was helped into the carriage by one OF
the men who descended with him.
