Of these but two have come out—one dead, the other half dead from injuries and the effects of the firedamp. Even the rescuing party has not escaped, and S. H. Taylor, an eminent mining engineer, of Pittsburg, who plotted the mine and led the rescuers, is lying dead, while his companions escaped with their lives only, after the greatest bravery. The scenes around the pit are tragic in the extreme.Cages Blown Two Hundred Feet. Ladies' all wool black and colored fascinators, special sale price, 25c each.

The other two are badly hurt, but I am told they are resting easily and may recover. I*ast night men and boys were skating all over the flooded section of Hloomsburg and it was soon discovered that a sang of miserable miscreants were looting the Hooded houses. Chief of police Knorr was at once notified and he called all the regular policemen and Impressed a number of special officers into service and a search is being made for the wretches.

PEOPLE'SSTORE, 15 South Main St., Pittston. Fully 1.50V persons at Rloomsburg are homeless and all are being cared for. The hotels were all thrown open on Sunday and the landlords are caring fir' and feeding hundreds of people. Private houses were also thrown' open, with the result that there Is no physical suffering here. A public meeting was held at the. town hall last evening in response to a call Issued by Mayor rovnsend and $11,000 waa speedily subscribed for the relief of the flood sufferers.The Columbia & Montour Traction Co. is in especially bad shape. The power house and car barns are entirely surrounded by water, although still high and dry. The Catawissa division is covered with ice and water from six to ten feet almost Its whole length. TRACTION COMPANY SUFFERS, When the night force stopped work Sunday night the mine was reported in good shape. At half past 5 o'clock ia; the morning Gordon, tjje fire boss, went into the mine to make his usual inspection. He reported to George Brown, Inside foreman, that everything was all right, and the day shift went Into the mine at 0 o'clock. , Bread is The Staff of Life P. A. Cunningham, mine inspector of the Fourteenth district, came out of the mine at 4 o'clock this morning. He stated that he had gone about a fourth of a mile from the foot of the shaft. He went to the left wing, between the fifth and seventh headings, and saw several dead mules, number of demolished cars, and about 16 dead men. He thought a great majority of the men met death through afterdamp. After that Cunningham came to a cave-In that he could not pass and he abandoned his investigation. Until this obstruction is removed there will be no means o£ discovering what may be the condition in the largest part of the mine. Men were placed at work removing the obstruction, and the work of rescue abandoned until daylight. The fans are all working, but on account of the cave-In It Is impossible to force air in properly. The water pipes are all blown In. As the mine was dry there will be no danger of flood. On the Berwick division a stretch of track a mile long is under water between Bloomsburi? and Espy. At the upper end of Espy another stretch has been badly washed and the same condition exists for two miles at Willow- Grove and Briar Creek.

One hundred and fifty lamps wore taken opt, so it Is tcnown that there are that number of minors in the mine. The fire boss and mine foreman are also In the mine, Gordon having returned after the men had begun work. The river le gorged with Ice from iCatawissa to Creasy, fifteen .nlles. and below Catawinra :tae channel is gorged practically all the way to Sunbury, eighteen mike. Above Catawissa the Ice Is piled up four to five feet higher than the river bridges and the jam extends to the ix-ttom of the river so tightly that an effectual dam has been formed and the accumulation of water is forced over the banks to find an outlet. The level reached In Bloomsburg is about two feet higher than In 3S65 and lart night collars on Third street were tilling with water that seeped through the ground. Third street was never reached by water before In the history of the town. The Bloomsburg & Sullivan road has had little trouble and the road has been kept open. REAR END COLLISJON.

The elecMc light plant Is entirely flooded out and to add trv th»* distress every coal yard in. the borcugh Is undflr from five to fifteen feet of water. All the flooded district was covered with a sheet of Ice last night. The ccld wave has also had the effect of fighting up the gorge and as the Ice Is piled higher than the wagon bridges at Catawissa and Bloomsburg and the Reading railroad bridge at Rupert it Is practically certain that all three structures will be iwept from their piers when the Ice moves. The express train was running behind time because of a blizzard and had stopped at a tank Just after clearing the bridge to take water. IRENNAN and ROBERTS DR.RI fcfc PAII .25 .10 .25 Pittsburg, Jan. 20.—By an explosion In the Harwick mine of the Allegheny Coal company at Cheswick, sixteen miles from Pittsburg, western Pennsylvania promises to add one of the greatest tragedies of years to the already long list of mine' fatalities. Even the officials of the Allegheny Coal company, the owners of the mine, do not know at this time the number of men still entombed in the chambers of the mine, 220 feet below the surface, but a conservative estimate places the number at 184. N. MAIN. Next to Eagle Hotel Suddenly the local train crashed into the rear of the express truln. The light curs of the local train were partly demolished, and the bridge was tilled with debris, which took fire. Assistance was sent from St. Churles, aud a wrecking and relief train was dispatched from St. Louis. The rear sleeping car of the express stood oil the bridge when the collision occurred, and it was crushed, but not demolished. .25 .48 .85 .10 .16 Stop and Look!

Even General Manager George Sheets of the coal company, who is in charge of the mine, gives little hope that many of the men will be brought to the surface.There was little fire following the explosion. For a few minutes smoke hung around the mouth of the shaft; then it drifted away, and except the wrecked tipple there was nothing to show that several scores of human beings had probably gone to their death In an instant. House Passes Army Bill. For WEDDINGS C|Awa» V For FUNERALS "UHOI» i Washington, Jan. 26. — The house passed the army appropriation bill, carrying approximately 175,000,000, after Adopting a number of amendments. The provision for the consolidation of the adjutant general's department and the record and pension office of tho war department into a bureau, to be known as the military secretary's office, was stricken from the bill on a point of order raised by Mr. Grosvenor of Ohio. It will be offered as a separate measure. The item of $400,000 for the construction of an army general hospital at Washington also went out on a point of order, as did the paragraph providing for the construction of a submarine cable from Sitka to Fort Liscum. Selwyn Taylor, a mining engineer of this city, who plotted the mine and who headed the first rescuing party to enter the mine, was overcome by gas while groping his way through the tunnels and died. The men with him barely escaped with their lives. Three times efforts were made to rescue Mr. Taylor, but without avail. His body was finally recovered. Near him were found the bodies of seventy-five miners. Just what you want in floral decorations on short notioe. We can do much for you at a reasonable prioe.
