A fire that might have had very serious results broke out this morning some time before 6 o'clock in a house on Mill street, owned and occupied by Peter Heap, a blind man. A workman on his way to No. 10 colliery saw smoke issuing from the upper section of the house and hurriedly called several neighbors. An alarm of fire was turned in and the department responded. In the meantime the door was forced and it was found that t'he (lames were in progress in the second story. Mr. Heap, who was alone in the house,, was asleep on the lower lloor. He was aroused and led out of the building. After.a hard light the firemen quenched the flames, but not bC fore they had gutted the upper part of the building.

New York, Oft. 7.—General Jose Mlgilel Gomez, who resigned the candidacy of the Liberal party tor president of Cuba, said last night: New York, Oct. 7.—It was brought out In the testimony of Charles A. Preller, auditor of the Mutual Life Insurance company, before the legislative investigating committee that since June 1, tool, Richard H. McCurdy, president of the company, has been receiving $150,000 a year salary, the highest ever paid to any official in an insurance company in the world. Houston, Tex,, Oct. G.—A petition from a number of citizens, headed by G. W. Knight, of San Marcos, has been presented to Gov. Lanham, asking that the state permit mobs to punish negroes guilty of rape. "1 have already explained that under the rule of the Cuban government conditions are worse than they ever were under any Spanish rule. I reiterate that statement now. I may still lead the Liberal party in the coming election. 1 have been asked to reconsider my resignation. Until I know why I have been asked to reconsider I can make no declaration." The communication says It is dangerous for white women to live in sparsely settled sections unless constantly guarded; that the tendency to commit these frightful crimes is increasing among the blacks and must be stopped, even if it in necessary to wipe out the race; that suspicion is to be held against every male negro, and that a wholesale slaughter of them will ensue if the heinous crimes are not checked.

Known to Pitts-ton For several months past the Pennsylvania Coal Co. has had a force of men at work sinking a slope on its property at Plainsvilie. This slope is located in the corner of the large Held, directly opposite the IMainsvilie school house, between the Ijiurel Line and the traction line. After considerable hard work the Hillman vein, which was bhe one sought, was struck this week, and the expectations of the officials were more than fulfilled. The vein is eight feet thick and the coal is exceptionally line. This is the llrst time for the Pennsylvania Co. to open the Hillman vein, as it is not found in the upper part of the Wyoming field. The new slope 4s the. southernmost operation of the Pennsylvania Co.. being 011 the extreme lower edge of Its property, A narrow gauge milroad track has already been laid from No. 14 breaker to the new opening, the distance being more than a mile, and locomotives will be used to transport the coal and other materials between the breaker and the slope. An arch and abutments solidly built nf stonework have been placed in position at the mCDu4h of the slope, and they will stand firm for many years. This substantial work around the opening is necessary owing to tinfact that there is a large tract of coal to be mined through the slope and many, years will be required to do the work. The work of mining coal in the Hillman vein will be started at once, and at the same time the work of sinking a continuation of the main slope 70o feet through solid rocfc to the Diamond vein will be carried on. Proposals for the new part of the slope will be asked for at once. The coal from the Hillman vein will be prepared at No. 14 breaker, and will assist materially in maintaining the output ol' this colliery. The Labor Difficulties. The gorgeous theatrical production "The Sleeping Beauty and the Beast," which will be presented in the Broad next Monday evening, was at the LyC•C■11111, Scranton, last evening, and the following extract from the Tribune's account of the play will give some idea of the splendor of the play and the hearty manner in which it wail received: People. Gov. Lanham's response set forth the impossibility of his countenancing such a policy In view of his oath to protect the constitution. Palma Has Changed. A telegram received today from 12astport, Liong Island, where the New York conference of the Methodist Rrotestant church has been in session all the week, announces that Rev. R. C, Burch has been selected as pastor of the Pittston church of that denomination for the coming year. It will be recalled that Rev. G. A. Ogg, who has been pastor of the church during the past year, recently declined a reappointment, having accepted a call to a Methodist Protestant church In Dover, Del. It was necessary, therefore, for the conference to appoint a new pastor, and the stationing committee has decided on Mr. Burch. The decision is a pleasant surprise for the Pittston 'congregation, Mr. Burch being well known to them. He was located for several years as pastor of the church at Daleville, Lackawanna county, and during his pastorate there occasionally came to this city to visit and preach. For the past two years he has been located as pastor of the church at Inwood, Long Island. He is a young man of good education and i3 an excellent preacher, and may be expected to do successful work in this field. Mrs, Burch is also well known to Pittston peojfle as a cultured lady and an active church worker. She is a member of the well known Dale family, of Lackawanna county, being a daughter of David Dale, of Daleville and a niece of Congressman Dale, of Scranton. It is expected that Mr. Burch will be here to enter on his new pastorate one week from tomor- "Of Masso's refusal to lead tbe movement against the government forces I know nothing.

Relatives of the Family. riveter Management and Employes Mr. Hughes was particularly anxious to learn what salaries were paid to certain of the officials, but Mr. McCurdy said he didn't know. It had already been shown that Mr. Thebtfud of the flrui of O. II. Raymond & (V, the metropolitan agent of tlw Mutual, who re eelved three-fourths of the profits of that firm, is a brother-in-law of Mr. McCurdy.

It is expected that the transfer will be made before the conclusion of a meeting of the county commissioners and the other parties interested, called for 3 o'clock this afternoon. In case the Carlueci Co. receives the contract it is thought that work on the new building will be rushed to completion.

G.—A petition from a number of citizens, headed by G. W. Knight, of San Marcos, has been presented to Gov. Lanham, asking that the state permit mobs to punish negroes guilty of rape. "1 have already explained that under the rule of the Cuban government conditions are worse than they ever were under any Spanish rule. I reiterate that statement now. I may still lead the Liberal party in the coming election. 1 have been asked to reconsider my resignation. Until I know why I have been asked to reconsider I can make no declaration." The communication says It is dangerous for white women to live in sparsely settled sections unless constantly guarded; that the tendency to commit these frightful crimes is increasing among the blacks and must be stopped, even if it in necessary to wipe out the race; that suspicion is to be held against every male negro, and that a wholesale slaughter of them will ensue if the heinous crimes are not checked.

Known to Pitts-ton For several months past the Pennsylvania Coal Co. has had a force of men at work sinking a slope on its property at Plainsvilie. This slope is located in the corner of the large Held, directly opposite the IMainsvilie school house, between the Ijiurel Line and the traction line. After considerable hard work the Hillman vein, which was bhe one sought, was struck this week, and the expectations of the officials were more than fulfilled. The vein is eight feet thick and the coal is exceptionally line. This is the llrst time for the Pennsylvania Co. to open the Hillman vein, as it is not found in the upper part of the Wyoming field. The new slope 4s the. southernmost operation of the Pennsylvania Co.. being 011 the extreme lower edge of Its property, A narrow gauge milroad track has already been laid from No. 14 breaker to the new opening, the distance being more than a mile, and locomotives will be used to transport the coal and other materials between the breaker and the slope. An arch and abutments solidly built nf stonework have been placed in position at the mCDu4h of the slope, and they will stand firm for many years. This substantial work around the opening is necessary owing to tinfact that there is a large tract of coal to be mined through the slope and many, years will be required to do the work. The work of mining coal in the Hillman vein will be started at once, and at the same time the work of sinking a continuation of the main slope 70o feet through solid rocfc to the Diamond vein will be carried on. Proposals for the new part of the slope will be asked for at once. The coal from the Hillman vein will be prepared at No. 14 breaker, and will assist materially in maintaining the output ol' this colliery. The Labor Difficulties.

A telegram received today from 12astport, Liong Island, where the New York conference of the Methodist Rrotestant church has been in session all the week, announces that Rev. R. C, Burch has been selected as pastor of the Pittston church of that denomination for the coming year. It will be recalled that Rev. G. A. Ogg, who has been pastor of the church during the past year, recently declined a reappointment, having accepted a call to a Methodist Protestant church In Dover, Del. It was necessary, therefore, for the conference to appoint a new pastor, and the stationing committee has decided on Mr. Burch. The decision is a pleasant surprise for the Pittston 'congregation, Mr. Burch being well known to them. He was located for several years as pastor of the church at Daleville, Lackawanna county, and during his pastorate there occasionally came to this city to visit and preach. For the past two years he has been located as pastor of the church at Inwood, Long Island. He is a young man of good education and i3 an excellent preacher, and may be expected to do successful work in this field. Mrs, Burch is also well known to Pittston peojfle as a cultured lady and an active church worker. She is a member of the well known Dale family, of Lackawanna county, being a daughter of David Dale, of Daleville and a niece of Congressman Dale, of Scranton. It is expected that Mr. Burch will be here to enter on his new pastorate one week from tomor- "Of Masso's refusal to lead tbe movement against the government forces I know nothing.
