Flight of Forty-five Workmen from Racing Flames. Most Disastrous Fire in the "Western Coal Fields. SMOTIIEIII T) BY GAS. No Hope for Those Who Couldn't Escape. Cryinr Women and Children Gather Around the Shaft. Shamokix, Pa., Oct 9. One workman dead and four others closed in the mine wiili ail avenue c f escape cut oil and the most disastrous mine fire ever known in the western anthracite coal fields now raging- at the Luke Fidley colliery ia the result in brief of a carpenter's negligence. Fifty-live other workmen who were em ployed in the rniue at the time of the ac cident had thrilling escapes as they were compelled to grope their way through smoke and iioxiotw gases ia order to reach tho fresh air in safety. The four men ho are still missing1 have been smothered before this as all parts of the big nine are certainly filled with smoke and c.faily after dimp. The tire started in the airway of No. 1 shaft late last night and Irvin Buffing-ton, whom the colliar officials hold respon sible for the disaster is dead His body was not burned as death was due to suf focation. George Brown, a miner and his Polish helper. Anthony Roberti, Rob ert, a driver boy :'rom the Luke Fidler and another Polish laborer whose name is not known by the mine officials are in the mine and no iiope is entertained of reouvericjf them. The mine is now a mass of flames and cauuct be approached from any direc tion. It is feared the inside workings will hare to bo flooded, which means many months of idleness to the 90.) em ployes. Superintendent Morris Williams of the Mineral Railroad & Mining com pany informed a representative of the Associated Press, that while Irvin Buffi ufftoo, John Auderson, Jr., and others were engaged in retimt ?ring No. 1 haft the former disobeyed orders by lighting- his naked lamp in the air cuurse for the purpose of testing the air. A spark set fire to the timber that was as drj- as powder and the current carried the flumes up and down the shaft like lightning. BaSncton was advised by his fellow worknen to make good his escape, but he neglected to heed their warning- and returned to the bottom of the shaft in order to exchange his gum boots for his shoos. This delay coat him his life and his dead body was recovered in the tunnel about 5 o'clock this morning. Superin tendent Willi, tins, .Mine In spector Edward Brennan, In side Foreman August Hehr and Arthur Kennedy, and all jf the under bosses at the Fidler and Cameron mines tormed three relief partie aud entered the mine to rescue the sixty imprisoned workmen by way of the coal run workings through the No. 3 air way on the mountain aud down the new shaft. The latter has proved a godsend to the men as it is to this channel most of them owe their escape. The bmoke spread through the inside workings with great rapidity, and alarmed the men and boys doing- night duty in the mine. While the imprisoned men were ruahing through the inside workings in saareu of an air shaft for an outlet, hundreds of their friends gathorei about the mouth of the shaft. As the fan houss was destroyed by the flames tho cries and auam of mothers, w ives and sinters i.n i children of the im prisoned employes sent chilis to the hearts of many hirly miners who were waiting for an opportunity to assist their doomed com'rades. Two of the men wera overcome by the moke while masting their escape, but the coal run rescu ug party succaded in carrying them out and restoring them to consciousness The gangs of workmen cannot eet to any point near the Are on account of the srnoke ani gas, and the flames cannot be fought with any tuecess. This mine connects with the Hickory Swamp Col liery of the Union Coal company, and if it has to -be drowind out. it will compel both mines to thut down for a year or mure. The Luke Fidler colliery is oper ated by the Mineral Railroad and Min ing company, and gives employment to 900 men and bo vs. UNCLJI SAJl UNBENDS.

A. members by Sheriff Burchinell and Matt Adams, clerk of the d. strict court, and would not give a verdict in accord auce with the evidence for the plaintiffs because they are Catholics.

BHISTOW'S WATER Said to lie "Working- the Irrigation lousi ness for the C S. .Senatorshiji. Secretary J. L. Bristow, of the Repub publican state central committee, who made a canvas3 for the Republican nom ination for congress in the Fifth district oa an irrigation platform a few mouths ago, is now said to be making the same kind of a canvass for the United States sennte. When the boom for Bristow for sena tor was announced a few weeks ago in Billy Bolton's paper it was not kuown that a regular irrigation boom had been organized in Secretary Bristjw's behalf. A. B. Montgomery of Goodiand, the Populist, rainmaker and irrigation agi tator, who was in Topeka today. Hays he has teen following up the Uristow irriga tion boomers and that ho knows all about them. Mr. Montgomery says. Juda;e W. B. Sutton of Rusieil county, Prof. Robert Hay of Manhattan and Joshua W heeler of Xortonvilb, who hiive been holding Irrigation conventions throughout the western part of the state have been work ing in Mr. Bristow's interest. "When they get up to adiroas an irri gation convention they Lrst announce that they do not come with u tale of woe and in closing tell their hearers that if they want irrigation they will need tome legislative assistance and are always careful to leave the ..impression that to fj-et the proper legislative assistance the farmers should vote for tho Republican candidates for the legislature." The inference is of course that an irri gation community should elect members of the legislature favorable to irrigation, who would vote for an irrigation candi date for United States senator, which means that this ia J. L. Bristow's boom. BURIED UNDER WiiECKAGE A n Knjjineer Stands by II is I'umanarable Train on a Heavy Orade. Ashkvii.i.k, N. C, Oct. 9.

The Czar Fears to Make Resent in Name. WHAT HIS TROUBLE IS. Can't Abstain from Mental Worry,Retardin: Recovery. The Emperor is Still Quite a Shadow of 200 Pounds. Berlin, Oct. 9. In view of the re ports that the czar's condition has changed for the worse, the correspondent of the Associated Pres3 in this city has had another interview with Professor Leyden, the distinguished specialist who was recently in attendance upon the emperor of Russia at Spala. The pro fessor in substance said: "The czar has a powerful constitution and still weighs 200 pounds, though he has lost much flesh since January and lie should be able to make a good fight against dis ease." Prof. Leyden, when asked if he thought the czar would recover, replied: "With favorable climatic influence, as at Corfu, or the island of Madeira, if the weather at Corfu is not found to be favorable and without unforseeu complications, he may recover. "The illness of the czar is peculiar. His principal trouble is a granulated contraction of the kidneys, in which the kidnt-ys become hard and change tissue, besides being subject to atropuy. This is accompanied by hyperairophy of the heart resulting from enlargement of its muscular tissue. This latter leads to breathing difficulty and ia often very painful, the spasms being complicated by fits of unconsciousness. "This is tiie c ise with the czar. There is no dropsy, however. Diabetes in the preliminary stage has declared itself, but it is merely sympathetic aud au accom paniment of the main trouble. When urther advanced this malady frequently results in partial, or entire paralysis. Thus far, however, there does not appear to be any immediate danger of this with tho czar." Prof. Leyden was then questioned in regard to tho manner in which the cz tr's cure should be attempted. He said: "i'he mut important requirement ia total at stention from mental worry; on this point, the cz.tr has been found to be exceedingly difficult to convince. Tho patient should also have plenty of sleep and food and his digestion should be regular. - This, with the open air ex ercise and good climatic conditions, is all that is necessary to effect a cure. "Under the most favorable circum stances, however, the disease is of lengthy duration, possibly years, and the results are most uncertain." Referring to the prospects of a regency i in Russia, Prof. Leyden remarked: "The ! question of the appointment of a regency j was discussed at Spala, in my hearing, but no decision was reacned." Prof. Leyden concluded: will become necessary, cure is to be effected." "A regency however, if a A KEGENCT WITHOUT TIIE NAME. The Czar Iay Appoint One Itut Will Avoid the Title of Kegent.

Sergeant Henry Steele of" the police force gave an exhibition of his pugilistic skill last uight at a restaurant near Eighth street on Kansas avenue. Steele forgot his ollicial diguity long enough to knock Mike Thompson down with his fist. Sergeant Steele came into the eating house lor his lunch, as he is now on night duty. It happened that Mike Thomp son was also in the restaurant. Mike has earned a reputation of being one of the most persistent haters of the police in the city. Sergeant Steele ia consequently not liked by Thompson but he has par ticular reasons for hating S:eele much more thaa the other members of the force. H hen Thompson saw the blue coat and brass buttons of the sergeant and realized that Steele was inside the coat he at once began to call him names. Thompson was flush and wanted to bet $10j that Morrill was the next governor, lie carried his partisanship so far as to inform Sergeant Steele he would be "plowing curn after the election." Steele replied in kind, and Thompson called hiin more names. A little thing like that "usually has but little effect upon a policeman aud Steele listened to Thompson's pro fane volubility for several moments with out filing a protest. Then he did tell Thompsotf that it would be better for him if he put on the brakes and stop the train of his elo quence. Thompson replied by opening wide the throttle and letting of more ateam. Steele listened a moment more and then drawing back his arm struck Thompson f uil in the face. He dropped as if he had been shot. When he rose up the anitry sergeant was ready for another onslaught, but friends interfered and further hostilities were averted. Thompson's friends say that he was intoxicated and not able to defend him self, and are loud in their denunciation of what they term Steele's hasty action. The members of the police force were surprised when they heard of the occur rence, and say that Steele has never been known to participate ia a quarrel of any kiod- DON'T WANT GER0NI3I0. Governor of Arizona Protests Against Ills Removal to That Territory. Washington, Oct, 9. Strong protests against the return of Geronimo to Ari zona, and against the liquor traffic in that territory is made in the an nual report of Governor Hughes to the secretary of the interior, made public today. The report comments generally upon the increase in popula tion, moral, educational and social ad vancement of the people and the ab sence of distress prevalent in other bec tions. It shows that the two previous years of drouth resulted in a loss of 50 per cent of the range cattle in the territory, but was followed later by a general recuperation of the stock industry. The closing of the silver mines caused by tfce low price of silver reitulted in iucreased gold production and develo ment of gold resources with tLe prospects, says the governor, that it will soon become a larger gold producer than any other territory or state. The gold output was $2,080,250, silver 70o,Sj0, copper 4S,2T0,o00 pounds. APPEALS TO MCKINLEY. A Xebraska Man Writes to Ohio for Aid for Suffering NebraMkans. Columbus, Ohio, Oct 9.
