MINE
ACCIDENT NO. 4 SLOPE IN NANTICOKE – THREE ARE DEAD:
An
explosion occurred about 9 o’clock in the sixth lift of the west gangway. The
slope is situated in the heart of the borough and thus the place is readily
accessible. Rescuing parties promptly
entered the slope and the work of ascertaining extent of the casualties begun
at once. About 11 o’clock the rescuers
appeared at the surface bearing the bodies of the dead and injured. By one o’clock all had been brought to the
surface. The following men are killed
and injured:
WM. A
ADAMS, miner, aged 34, English, killed, leaves wife and one child.
JAMES
ADAMS, miner, aged 35, English, wife and six children
JOHN ZUBOVAGE,
laborer, aged 38, Pole, single

MICHAEL

GEORGE

It is
thought that the fire was started by JOHN J GRIFFITH, the brattice man, who
carried a naked lamp. The gas probably
came from a blower at the side of the slope.
BRIEFS:

naphtha lamps of the city burned 433 hours short during March, and the electric

Vital statistics

DEATHS:
PATRICK
MOONEY died in the Wilkes-Barre hospital at 2 o’clock this morning from
injuries received yesterday by a squeeze
in Haddock
and Co.’s mine at Luzerne borough. The
deceased was widely known hereabouts as Squire MOONEY. He had
lived for many years at Warrior Run, where he
served as tax collector and as Justice of the Peace. He had only moved from
there, in fact, a few weeks ago to accept a
place in the mine where he met his death.
He was a careful miner and an unusually
intelligent
man and his taking off under such circumstances is striking evidence of the
risks even the most competent and
cautious
of his avocation are constantly running.
He was an active man in the old miner’s union, held the position of
Treasurer
of it, and
after presided at conventions of miner’s, being regarded as having special
qualifications for such positions. He
served
faithfully during the war in the 9th Pennsylvania
cavalry, and was among the squad who captured the person of Jeff Davis at
its close.
He was a member of Ely Post G. A. R., of this city, and was well thought
of by all of his comrades.

DEATHS:
From
yesterday’s Scranton Truth: On Wednesday, JOHN STEWART, a well-known Scranton
citizen. Mr STEWART became
ill a week ago last Sunday. He was attacked with the grip. Nervous prostration also set in. On Tuesday of this week, Mrs
STEWART
died. It was not considered advisable,
on account of Mr STEWART’S low condition, to tell him about his wife’s
death, and he died without knowing that she
had gone before him, although in his periods of consciousness during yesterday,
and
Tuesday, he said he believed because of
the
sadness of his family, that Mrs STEWART had died. The funeral for Mrs STEWART had been fixed for this morning, but
on account
of Mr STEWART’s case, it has been postponed, and husband and wife will be
buried at the same time. The services
will take place in the First M. E. Church at
12 o’clock noon on Saturday, to be conducted by Rev Dr C C McClain. The remains
will be taken
to Wilkes-Barre for interment in Hollenback cemetery. Mr Stewart was married in December 1842 to ELIZABETH
A
WILLIAMS, of Plains township. They are survived by five children: Mrs GEORGE B
KULP, and Mrs W D LOOMIS, both
of Wilkes-Barre; Mrs C B SCOTT, Mrs L C
HESSLER, and Mrs S M STEVENS. Mrs STEVENS has been seriously ill in the
house in which her father and mother
died. (condensed)
Mrs
BRIDGET KANE, an estimable young lady resident in Georgetown, died suddenly
yesterday at her home by the b
ursting of
a blood vessel. Miss Kane was 19 years
of age and was the daughter of the late JAMES KANE. The funeral
will take place Saturday afternoon at 1
o’clock. Interment in the old Catholic
cemetery on Darling street.
