Two men who have not as yet been identified, but who are undoubtedly from York State, from near Windsor, were found dead yesterday afternoon on the culm dump of the Coalbrook mine, of the D. & H. company, at Carbon dale.

Shamokln, Pa., Aug. 23.—Shamokln was visited by a costly lire today. The Greenough breaker, of tho Greenough lied Ash Coal Co., was completely destroyed by tire, the origin of the llames being unknown. The loss will be in the neighborhood of $50,000 and $75,000, and is partially covered by insurance. About 4 50 men and boys were employed and they will be . thrown out of work pending the erec- I tion of a new breaker, since there is no moans by which the coal mined by the company can be prepared for market. The loss will bo felt especially Just now on account of the fact that tho busy season about the mines Is opening and there will be a big demand, at good prices, for all the coal that can be shipped to market between the present time and spring. The breaker burned today was practically new, the colliery having been opened and the plant erected about six years ago. The coal is taken out through a shaft. All of the other colliery buildings, including engine house, boiler house and shops, were saved through the strenuous efforts of the city lire department and the employes of the colliery. Among the principal stockholders In the Greenough Ited Ash Coal Co., owners of the colliery, are John H. Foy and M. W. O'Boyle, of Pittston. Shamokin capitalists are also Interested In the concern. Edward Brennan, former mine inspector, is superintendent of the colliery. New York, Aug. 23.—Seventeen days overdue, with rations so short tliut the crew and passengers were reduced to tlie extremity of eating sharks, the fruit steamer Athos of tlie Donald Steamship company line arrived at Sandy Hook ill tow of the steamship Altai after a voyage of extraordinary adventure, which began at I'ort Autonlo, Jamaica, on July 30 and threatened to end In famine and death before the port of destination was reached. There were eight passengers ou board, of whom four were children and two were women. None of the eight realized fully their peril, with a mixed crew of negroes and Chinamen who were getting so ravenous with hunger that they ate greedily of the huge monsters they lmuled out of the sea and drank water which in the desperation of the situation was drawn aboard in buckets, boiled and In a crude way condensed, so that part of the salt was eliminated. Twenty-four hours more of such sustenance, would have driven the men mad. Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 23.—There is a note of peace in the situation and compromise iu the air.

J., Aug* 23.—Five thousand men, women and children who were watching a "daredevil" bicycle riding feat by a man known ns "Tourbillon" fled In terror before a big African lion which escaped from its cage in Electric park, a pleasure resort In Vallsburg, the extreme western section of Newark. There was a stampede and a panic of ten or fifteen minutes' duration. Dozens of women and children were knocked down and bruised, but so far as could be learned none was seriously hurt. The lion was at large two hours before being captured by trainers. It is evident, however, that the conference was no* a disappointment to the committee, as some of them expressed tho opipion that tho trouble would work itself out without any serious broach between the company and the men. The condition of the bodies would lead to the belief that they had lain on the dump for nearly a week. The supposition is that the unfortunate men sought the warmth of the place on one of the cold nights of last week. They were woefully Ignorant of the danger from the fumes of a burning culm dump, for although the air was heavy with sulphur, they lay down within a few feet of the burning side of the opening which they selected. They made a bed upon several boards. After their death, their hands and portions of their iegs were roasted by the slow lire that was even under them. SWITCH WAS LEFT OPEN Japan to sell to Russia part or all of Sakhalin Island. In speaking of the reception accorded by Mr. May to the committee, one of the men said: "We were met in a very friendly manner by Mr. May, and ho discussed the grievances of tho men without any attempt to ovade tho issues involved. In addition to this he outlined a plan for settling minor grievances at the collieries, which may be of much value in the future " lJussiu to consent to pay as "remuneration" the price of Sakhalin and keep of prisoners.

The Carbondale poor directors ordered the bodies to be burled, today, in the cemetery at ISrookside. Carbondale, unless identified at once. Was Sudilealy Swerved to Side Track and Derailed. About 6:30 o'clock last evening a serious accident occurred on the Delaware & Hudson railroad, in North Wllkesbarre, caused by a passenger train running into an open switch. The train was the regular passenger train that leaves Wilkctsbarre for Scran ton at 6:30 p. m. It had pulled out of the Lehigh Valley station and was running along the main track through the D. A- H. yard, just below Scott street, when it suddenly swerved into a side itrack used for storing passenger cars. The switch had been carelessly left open by a trainman. The locomotive of the passenger train, though running at a lively rate, entered the side track all right, out after running on 'the switch for a short distance jumped the rails and bumped along the ties. Although this'method of locomotion did not continue longer than a minute or so, the engineer having promptly shut off steam, the roadbed was badly torn up for a distance of about 70 feet. Finally the driving wheels ceased to revolve and sank into the roadbed as far as the axles. The front car of the train was also derailed. The fireman jumped from the locomotive as soon as the trouble occurred, but the engineer stuck to his post until the locomotive was stopped. The passengers on the 'train received a lively shaking up. but no one was injured. The main track was shoved out of place by the locomotive. Another locomotive was secured and the train was soon on its way again. The wrecking ■ crew worked for several hours to The wheel slipped and dropped into the cage. Tourbillon caught the slats with one hnnd and drew himself up out of harm's way and was assisted out over the rim of the bowl. Ills mishap and the minute or so it took to rescue him caused much excitement and drew practically the whole qrowd to the scene. l»r. T. E. Walsh, Dentist. Office, 25 North Main street.

The engineer and his assistant went to work and. working day and night, got a band around the cylinder, and the steamer started ahead on Aug. CD. She had made a hundred miles under reduced speed when the crank shaft snapped, and she was helpless. The steamer Toss was sighted and signaled, but the commander of the Athos was confident and let it be known that he did not require assistance. The crew, under the direction of the engineer, worked valiantly to make an emergency splice for the shaft, hut without success.

His brother, Antonio Zuurerine is in jail, being held as a witness. It was a message from the president to M. Witte which caused the sensation of the day. Early iu the morning had come the official announcement that the meeting of the conference which was .to be held had been postjioned. The reason assigned was that the protocols for submission at the sitting had not tieen completed. But a few hours Inter the true reason leaked out. Woman. The terrible double murder that occurred in Scranton last June, when two dissolute women were crushed to death in their rooms on Center street, has been recalled by an action in law started in the Lackawanna court today by Isaac S. Phillips, administrator of the estate of Anna May Jay, one of the victims of the murder. Phillips brings suit against Mrs. Tessie Carlin, widow of Andrew Carlin, who committed suicide recently in Scranton, charging her with larceny as bailee. The murder of the two women was a profound mystery for a short time, after which testimony was secured and a chain of circumstances developed to fasten the crime on Andrew Carlin, who took his own life the day following the murder of the women. The theory of the police was that the murder was committed for robbery, at least in part, and that the sum of $160 which was found in the Carlin house, together with a note written by Carlin. on the day that he committed suicide, was really the Pottsvllle, Pa., Aug. 23.—Lieutenant Amos Forseman, who for years was the oldest survivor of the gallant band of Pennsylvanians who first responded to President Lincoln's call for volunteers, is dead here at the age of 86. As a member of the National Light Infantry he took part in the bloody march made by the unarmed detachment through a mob In Baltimore. Death of a First Defender The crowd broke instantly and rail. Men deserted wives and children, and women left their children and ran for tlieir lives. Many fell and were trampled upon, but sprang up again and fled on. The gates—fortunately there were many—were whirled away by the rush, and the big park was emptied In a minute or less. Men, women and children went racing down the streets or broke frantically into nearby houses, screaming and hysterical. Many did not stop running until they dropped panting from exhaustion a mile or more from the park. On the morning of the 14th the Montevideo came within signaling distance. The passengers by that time were frightened and the crew were showing symptoms of dissatisfaction. Captain Dohson was requested to ask for a tow; hut, knowing his ship and his own ability, he declined. He borrowed supplies, consisting of bread, bacon, llour and water, and after the Montevideo had passed out of sight stock was taken of the provisions on hoard, and the rations were cut down one-half. Walla is shot in the middle of the back, the bullet taking a downward course. A consultation of physicians will be held to determine whether the bullet shall be proved for. The bullet is in a vital part and fear is entertained that the man. cannot recover. The police have endeavored to secure a statement from the wounded man, but he is not inclined to talk. Walla himself thinks he will die. J. L.

Witte and Baron de Rosen hud left the hotel ostensibly for a ride in an automobile to York Beach, but instead had quietly slipped over to the conference building at the navy yard to receive the message from Assistant Secretary l'elrce. The most elaborate precautions had been taken to Insure secrecy, but the matter leaked out through a "tip" from New York, Harrisburg, Pa., Aug. 23.—Physical examinations of applicants for places on the new state police force are to begin at once. Superintendent Groome was here an dhad a conference with Dr. James Patterson, who is to conduct the examinations. Details were agreed on and the examinations will be started immediately.

Exaggerated reports of the accident spread throughout tho city and thousands of people Hocked to the scene, expecting to llnd a terrible wreck, with many lives lost. While Walla was only shot once, two other bullets from Zuurerlne's revolver came dangerously close to finding a lodging place in his head or body. They were found this morning imbedded in the side of the house just back of where Waliu was shot. One of the bullets had gone clear through the siding and plaster. The bullets were lired from different angles, showing that Zuurejrine sbot while he ran. Ran to East Orange.

Charles Weaver Kiitcrtulned a Large About Aug. 17 the food supply gave out entirely. The water lasted until the 20th. There was one water tank which the captalu held for the last extremity, but when he started to use it he found that the Juice of rotted bananas had permeated it and the water was useless. The bacon aud Uour gave out, and then the crew went Into the hold and pulled out bunch after bunch of overripe bananas. An attempt was made ttf make these palatable by frying them, but they were in such an advanced stuge of mushy decay that this was Impossible. There was only one source of food supply left, and that was the sea. Old fishhooks which had not been used for years were taken from their hiding places, baited with uneatable salt pork, and the Athos for the time being was converted into a fishing smack. There were large catches—a few tarpon and a great many For three hours M. Wltte and Bnron de Rosen remained at the conference building with Mr. I'eirce. All those preseut declined to make uny statement regarding what transpired at the navy yard, even refusing to admit that uny Importance attached to the matter. M. Witte would only admit that he had gone to the building "to send a message," and Baron de Rosen and M. Pluncon absolutely refused to make any statement. Meanwhile, with the park clear, the lion leaped down from the platform and took refuge under a building. Number of Friends at Ills Home property of the Jay womun To re- Last Evening. I'ark employees and a few men who retained or regained their senses and courage set about capturing him. Others set about gathering up the discarded clothing and belongings of the crowd that fled.

The warrant was issued by an ulderman and it is expected that a hearing will be held this afternoon. The charge is made In the warrant that Carlin took the money from the Jay woman, before or after he murdered her, and that he then left It in his house, where it was secured by his wife. VARDO WAS HELD. Charles Weaver, of Butler street, entertained a number of his friends at his home last evening, the occasion being his 20th birthday anniversary. The house was neatly decorated with Chinese lanterns and other ornamentations. Among those present were a number of people from Scranton.
