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

JOHN J GRIFFITH, bratticeman, Welsh, aged 24, seriously injured, wife and one child

MORGAN PRICE, Welsh, aged 36, seriously injured, wife and two children

JOSEPH BERANSKI, Pole, aged 35, laborer, single, seriously injured

JOHN RUDDICK, AGE 35, English, miner, slightly injured, wife and four children

MICHAEL BARINSKEY, aged 40, Pole, laborer, slightly injured, wife and three children

GEORGE ALMY, fire boss, slightly burned, walked home

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:

The naphtha lamps of the city burned 433 hours short during March, and the electric lights 208 hours

 

Vital statistics show a total of 56 deaths in Wilkes-Barre during March, ten from pneumonia, and five from consumption

 

Electric cars to Five Points.  The Suburban Electric Railroad directors held a meeting last night and decided to commence

at once the extension of the Scott street route.  The cars now carry red and blue flags.  The red flag cars run up Canal street

and the blue flag cars up Main street.  Rapid transit between the Square and North Wilkes-Barre will be afforded by cars

which will run between the two points only.

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.
