Sbamokin, Pa., Oct., 9. By an ex
plosion in the Lake Fiedler mine abaft
one man was killed and four others im
prisoned, with no avenue of escape..
The shaft is on fire. Fifty-five workmen
were taken ont alive.
The fire started in the air way of No.
1 shaft late last night. Irvin Bnffington,
whom the colliery officials hold respons
ible for the disaster, is ' dead. George
Brown, a miner; his Polish helper,
Anthony Kobertiky ; a driver boy, and
another Polish laborer, are in'the mine,
and hope is entertained of recovering
them. The mine is a mass of flames and
cannot be approached from any direc
' tion. It ia feared the inside workings
will have to be flooded, which means
many months of idleness to 900 employes.
, Superintendent Morris Williams, ot the
Mineral Railway Company, says that
while Irvin Buffington, John Anderson,
jr., and others were timbering No. 1
shaft, Buffington disobeyed orders by
lighting a naked lamp in the air course,
for the purpose of testing the air. The
spark set fire to the timbers, dry as pow
der, and the current carrried the flames
up and down the shaft like lightning.
Buffington returaed to the bottom shaft
to exchange his gum boots for Bhoes.
This delay cost him his , life. Superin
tendent Williams, Mine inspector
Bremner, Inside Foreman Hehr and
' Kennedy formed relief ..parties and
rescued 60 imprisoned workmen by way
of the coal run workings. Workmen
cannot get near the fire on -account', of
the smoke and gas, and the flames can
not be fought with any success.
Locomotlie In the Mad.
Oakland, Cal. Ojt. 9. At 6 o'clock
the broad-gauge local from Jiast Oakland
' ran info an open switch and off a blind
track into the mud flats about 1,000 yards
west of the station this morning. There
was a heavy fog at the time and the en
gineer had the piston valves open blow
, ing steam, so he did not notice anything
wrong until be bit the bumper at the
end of the switch. - The engineer and
firemen jumped just as the smoker
telescoped into the engine. Owing to
the softness of the ground (he engine
sunk, thus stopping the train before it
. was derailed. No one . was hurt, but
everyone was given a bad scare. Traffic
was only . delayed until a new engine
could be brought up from the West Oak
land round house. A similar accident
occurred at the same -place about 10 or
12 years ago, when it took a week to re
cover the engine. ,

tanburg road ran away down a heavy
