He denied, however, that he had ever heard of legislation in Albany, actual or prospective, which menaced the charter of the Mercantile Trust company, and be could not therefore have warned Mr. Hyde against the danger of antagonistic interests in Albany. NEW CHAIRMAN ELECTED There is also under consideration a plan for the abolition of the special economic classification of the communal holding of land by the peasantry and the placing of the peasants, so far as the holding of land is .concerned, on the same footing as other subjects of the emperor. Explosion Was Terrific. The Braznell Coal Co. has been sinking the new shaft since last summer. Two weeks ago it was learned that a pocket of gas had formed in the bottom of the mine, which Is 186 feet deep. Orders were given for all the men to work with safety lamps, and this had been done. Three shifts of men had. been employed by Contractor and General Superintendent Buzzo. Late yesterday Boss Farragut and his six "men, without thought of danger, stepped into the cage and descended into the mine. They were building a concrete water ring or ditch 50 feet down the shaft in order to catch dripping water. About five minutes after the men descended a terrific explosion occurred, yvhlch blew huge pieces of timber out of the mine like skyrockets, as high as 160 feet In the air. The tipple and all the mine rigging were torn down anil debris scattered in heaps all around. A shovel which lay at the top of the shatt was hurled with such violence that it sank four inches into a,plank. What must have befallen the eight men down in the shaft Is terrible to contemplate. It is believed that they were instantly killed and probably fell to the bottom of the shaft. John Mc- Catey ,on the outside, was killed by the falling tipple, and others were M oujfh not fntally hurt. •% FIVE KILLED IN FIRE. By Board of School Control / Last Evening. On many points Mr. Harrlman's testimony joined the issue directly on questions of veracity between himself and Mr. Hyde. Mr. Untermyer, counsel to the latter, urged the committee to cross examine Mr. Harriman, but the privilege was denied after Senator Armstrong Jiad sounded the sentiment of his colleagues.

Tinlast c,invention referred to this c:«u mittce the question of a national sys teni of insurance for the grange. U'lu committee wi|l report unfavorably upon the proposition as a national project on 4he ground of v. riance in stnte Insurance laws. The committee will, bo\yeVer, offer no objection to an Heavy military reserves are stationed in all the industrial districts, but up to midnight there was no rioting. It was made clear that the Interviews between Mr. (Well. Mr. Hyde and Balnbrldge Colby concerning the proposed settlement of the United States Ship building company suit did not occur until after the adjournment of the legislature of 1004, but Mr. Hughes also read into the record the data concerning the bill introduced in Morel), 1U04, by Senator Ambler and Assemblyman Fish, which,' had it become a law, would have nullified the charter of the Mercantile Trtist company. Reports from Vladivostok indicated that both the'sallors and the fortress artillerymen participated in the outbreak. The commandant lost his head, the situation got beyond his control, and energetic measures were not taken until u large part of the city hud beeti destroyed.Asked as to how the continuation of the award could be effected, Mr. Connell said: "It could bo done In the miners' convention in Shamokln In December. A resolutioiy'could be adopted Indicating the desire of the mlnerB to extend tho award for a term of three or five or any number of years, as may be deemed "advisable. Their pleasure could then be presented to the representatives if the operators on the board olf conciliation through the representatives of tho miners. A convention of the operators could then be called and the proposition discussed. It could thus be settled very easily." Three bodies found later In the ru'ns so far are not identified. • All the members were present at the meeting except T. P. O'Brien, P. A. Walsh and .1. J. Keilly, The. secretary called the meeting to order and A. T .Walsh was elected temporary chairman. The f*lU»4ing eommunlcatlon from Chairman O'Brien was read: "Scranfn, Pa. To the members of the Plttston City Board of School Control, Gentlemen: I herewith tender you my resignation as member of your board to take efTedt at once. I thank you for your favors and hope 'always to retain your contldynce. Respectfully yours, Thos. • P. O'Brien." On motion by Mr. Sloan, seconded by Mr. a resolution was adopted dlrectltiK the secretary to communicate with Mr. O'Brien, expressing the regrets of the board on hCs resignation.The Injured are: Fire Chief Duane, cut hands and burns about the arms; Jessie Orlandi. ared 26. slight burn?-: Angelina Randazzo, aged 28 years, «TDratns from leaping from window on fourth floor to the ground. Coro.. i tupe. it Wajh.ngton, and Mine Inspector Harry Loutelt, at Monongahela, were immediately notified. The latter gave his opinion that the explosion was caused by firedamp. He believes the gas came creeping upward and reached the miners' lamps just as it was at the explosive point. But as it would have been practically impossible for safety lamps In ing order to ignite the gas, it is a mystery what actually tyld ignite it. There must have been some kind of open light used. An ordinary minors' torch badly battered, which was found near the mouth of shaft tends to indicate that some one dlsoheyod orders and carried a lighted torch into the shaft. Mine Inspector r.,nu'CDlt ordered a new temporary tipple constructed for the purpose of lowering another cage into the mine to bring out the dead. His idea is to first get an air current down to dissipate the gas. He believes there is no fire burning in the shaft. The disaster occurred about two miles from Hazle Kirk mine No. 12 at Van Voorhts station, where five men w«re killed on Oct. 27 and two men were killed on Oct. 29, by gas explosions.

If the resolution should be adopted it will pledge the national grange to an effort to secure congressional action empowering the interstate commerce commission to tlx freight rates whenever a dispute shall arise. American Cruiser Goes to.Russia. Lisbon, Portugal, Nov. 1*5.—The United States cruiser Minneapolis has sailed for Cronutadt, twenty miles west of St Petersburg. The latter tw:D iVero taken to the Presbyterian hoscjtal. Mr. Harriman told how little under prosent laws directors of insurance companies are able to C*ircct. He »d-mltted that, as a friend of Mr. Hyde, he had urged the young man to move the adoption of the Frlek report and said that in refusing to do so Mr. Hyde had made the mistake of his life. ,The blase was discovered In the lower hallway hy one of the 120 persons who lived In the house. CAVING (It ItMETERY. The fire escape* were soon jammed with fiarhtinsr men and women, and the .men were In such a state of panic that they were attempting to hurl women |md children from the ladders. The men at the bottom of the firo had so lost their h°ods that they did not attempt to put the bottom lndder in place, but stood at the foot of the ladders and screamed, frightening those above them. As to tho miners taking the Initiative in the matter Mr. Connell said: "The reason I suggested that a resolution be considered at Shamokln Is because the convention will be held In December and one of the principal matters to be discussed and acted upon is the expiration of the award of the strike commission."' Condition Continues Serious Ex-Governor Odell's testimony Is ex pected to be of great interest. in Duryea. Honor Dead by Burying Metal. It Is possible that a resolution will be adopted demanding more stringent laws regulating the speed of automobiles upon country roads. Attention was called to the numerous accidents which have occurred as a result of speeding automobiles, and remedial legislation was suggested by National Master Jones. Philadelphia, Nov. 1(5.—During the Inquest held in the cases of John Forkin and Joseph Garcia, laborers, who were killed at the MIdvale steel works on Nov. id, it was testified that the two men had entered a pit and that 80,000 pounds of hot metal poured from a leak and completely absorbed them. Not a trace of the bodies of the men was discovered. The steel company has decided to take about 8,000 pounds of the steel from the place where the men were last seen and have it buried out of respect for the dead workmen'. Mr. O'Brien was a member of the board for several years, having held membership during past of the period of the board of six and since up to last evening. He served several times is chairman. Mr. Connell explained his views were purely personal and he was not empowered to speak on behalf of any other parties. The conciliation board, he believed, had been an important factor in maintaining pcacc in the anthracite region and could not be improved upon.

The bodies were so badly torn and battered by / the force of the explosion that they cannot possibly be identified. They were found under the timbers at the top of the pile of debris at the bottom of the shaft, after a few timbers had been removed, but It is not thought that any more bodies will be discovered before daylight, as the other men are believed to be buried at the bottom of the timber. The pile of timber is surrounded by water and the members of the searching party experience great difficulty In their work. tions Have Been Received—Bene- Marries Miss Norma Walking, of Seranton Polish Catholics Have Largely Attend- fit Sale of Antique Brass.

After their return from a wedding trip to New York and other places of interest Mr. and Mn* Stnnner will reside In a newly furnished home on Roosevelt street." Fortunately the cave hole In the cemetery is in a part that has not been used for burial purposes. It is at the southern extremity of the lot. bordering on Getty street, and was recently added to the cemetery. The hole here is sloping and In the center is about 25 feet in depth. The nearest grave is some distance away, and it is hoped by those owning lots In the burial ground that the caving will stop before there is any danger of bodies being carried into the workings. —I'isliop Hoban Expect- ed to Officiate. On motion by Mr. Foster, seconded by Mr.Schwab , the board proceeded to fill the teaching corps by electing two night school teachers, for Garfield and Cleveland buildings.

The teachers' committee and the supervising principal were ilirocted to place the teachers and a motion adopted that the two night schools open next Klonday evening.The Polish Catholic church in Puryea, Rev. J. Orlowski, pastor, is a scene of great activity and an extensive church ceremony today. For the number of persons participants in the services, .especially that of confirmation, nothing approaching it in size has ever'' been held heretofore In this region. There are between 1,000 and 1,500 candidates for confirmation, and it is expected that the administration of the sacrament, which begins at 3:30, will take several hours to complete. Rt. Rev. Bishop Hoban is to officiate at the administration of this sacrament. Adults and children, over the age of 12 years, will receive confirmation at the Bishop's hands. It isi said that the sacrament has not been administered in the Duryea Catholic church since previous to the death of the late Bishop O'Hara.

Monongahela City, Pa., Nov. 16.— Undoubtedly killed and probably blown to pieces, eight men are lying in the depths of the new sthaft of the Rraznell Coal Co., on the outskirts of Bentleysville, while another outside the mine is dead as the result of a gas explosion.

He denied, however, that he had ever heard of legislation in Albany, actual or prospective, which menaced the charter of the Mercantile Trust company, and be could not therefore have warned Mr. Hyde against the danger of antagonistic interests in Albany. NEW CHAIRMAN ELECTED There is also under consideration a plan for the abolition of the special economic classification of the communal holding of land by the peasantry and the placing of the peasants, so far as the holding of land is .concerned, on the same footing as other subjects of the emperor. Explosion Was Terrific. The Braznell Coal Co. has been sinking the new shaft since last summer. Two weeks ago it was learned that a pocket of gas had formed in the bottom of the mine, which Is 186 feet deep. Orders were given for all the men to work with safety lamps, and this had been done. Three shifts of men had. been employed by Contractor and General Superintendent Buzzo. Late yesterday Boss Farragut and his six "men, without thought of danger, stepped into the cage and descended into the mine. They were building a concrete water ring or ditch 50 feet down the shaft in order to catch dripping water. About five minutes after the men descended a terrific explosion occurred, yvhlch blew huge pieces of timber out of the mine like skyrockets, as high as 160 feet In the air. The tipple and all the mine rigging were torn down anil debris scattered in heaps all around. A shovel which lay at the top of the shatt was hurled with such violence that it sank four inches into a,plank. What must have befallen the eight men down in the shaft Is terrible to contemplate. It is believed that they were instantly killed and probably fell to the bottom of the shaft. John Mc- Catey ,on the outside, was killed by the falling tipple, and others were M oujfh not fntally hurt. •% FIVE KILLED IN FIRE. By Board of School Control / Last Evening. On many points Mr. Harrlman's testimony joined the issue directly on questions of veracity between himself and Mr. Hyde. Mr. Untermyer, counsel to the latter, urged the committee to cross examine Mr. Harriman, but the privilege was denied after Senator Armstrong Jiad sounded the sentiment of his colleagues.

The committee will, bo\yeVer, offer no objection to an Heavy military reserves are stationed in all the industrial districts, but up to midnight there was no rioting. It was made clear that the Interviews between Mr. (Well. Mr. Hyde and Balnbrldge Colby concerning the proposed settlement of the United States Ship building company suit did not occur until after the adjournment of the legislature of 1004, but Mr. Hughes also read into the record the data concerning the bill introduced in Morel), 1U04, by Senator Ambler and Assemblyman Fish, which,' had it become a law, would have nullified the charter of the Mercantile Trtist company. Reports from Vladivostok indicated that both the'sallors and the fortress artillerymen participated in the outbreak. The commandant lost his head, the situation got beyond his control, and energetic measures were not taken until u large part of the city hud beeti destroyed.Asked as to how the continuation of the award could be effected, Mr. Connell said: "It could bo done In the miners' convention in Shamokln In December. A resolutioiy'could be adopted Indicating the desire of the mlnerB to extend tho award for a term of three or five or any number of years, as may be deemed "advisable. Their pleasure could then be presented to the representatives if the operators on the board olf conciliation through the representatives of tho miners. A convention of the operators could then be called and the proposition discussed. It could thus be settled very easily." Three bodies found later In the ru'ns so far are not identified. • All the members were present at the meeting except T. P. O'Brien, P. A. Walsh and .1. J. Keilly, The. secretary called the meeting to order and A. T .Walsh was elected temporary chairman. The f*lU»4ing eommunlcatlon from Chairman O'Brien was read: "Scranfn, Pa.

I thank you for your favors and hope 'always to retain your contldynce. Respectfully yours, Thos. • P. O'Brien." On motion by Mr. Sloan, seconded by Mr. a resolution was adopted dlrectltiK the secretary to communicate with Mr. O'Brien, expressing the regrets of the board on hCs resignation.The Injured are: Fire Chief Duane, cut hands and burns about the arms; Jessie Orlandi. ared 26. slight burn?-: Angelina Randazzo, aged 28 years, «TDratns from leaping from window on fourth floor to the ground. Coro.. i tupe. it Wajh.ngton, and Mine Inspector Harry Loutelt, at Monongahela, were immediately notified. The latter gave his opinion that the explosion was caused by firedamp. He believes the gas came creeping upward and reached the miners' lamps just as it was at the explosive point. But as it would have been practically impossible for safety lamps In ing order to ignite the gas, it is a mystery what actually tyld ignite it. There must have been some kind of open light used. An ordinary minors' torch badly battered, which was found near the mouth of shaft tends to indicate that some one dlsoheyod orders and carried a lighted torch into the shaft. Mine Inspector r.,nu'CDlt ordered a new temporary tipple constructed for the purpose of lowering another cage into the mine to bring out the dead. His idea is to first get an air current down to dissipate the gas. He believes there is no fire burning in the shaft. The disaster occurred about two miles from Hazle Kirk mine No. 12 at Van Voorhts station, where five men w«re killed on Oct. 27 and two men were killed on Oct. 29, by gas explosions.

Det'tbick of Ohio In the form.of a resolution instructing the legislative committee to assist President Itoosevelt In his efforts to secure the passage of a'law iuereasing tie powers of the interstate commerce commission. If the resolution should be adopted it will pledge the national grange to an effort to secure congressional action empowering the interstate commerce commission to tlx freight rates whenever a dispute shall arise. American Cruiser Goes to.Russia. Lisbon, Portugal, Nov. 1*5.—The United States cruiser Minneapolis has sailed for Cronutadt, twenty miles west of St Petersburg. The latter tw:D iVero taken to the Presbyterian hoscjtal. Mr. Harriman told how little under prosent laws directors of insurance companies are able to C*ircct. He »d-mltted that, as a friend of Mr. Hyde, he had urged the young man to move the adoption of the Frlek report and said that in refusing to do so Mr. Hyde had made the mistake of his life. ,The blase was discovered In the lower hallway hy one of the 120 persons who lived In the house. CAVING (It ItMETERY. The fire escape* were soon jammed with fiarhtinsr men and women, and the .men were In such a state of panic that they were attempting to hurl women |md children from the ladders. The men at the bottom of the firo had so lost their h°ods that they did not attempt to put the bottom lndder in place, but stood at the foot of the ladders and screamed, frightening those above them. As to tho miners taking the Initiative in the matter Mr. Connell said: "The reason I suggested that a resolution be considered at Shamokln Is because the convention will be held In December and one of the principal matters to be discussed and acted upon is the expiration of the award of the strike commission."' Condition Continues Serious Ex-Governor Odell's testimony Is ex pected to be of great interest. in Duryea. Honor Dead by Burying Metal. It Is possible that a resolution will be adopted demanding more stringent laws regulating the speed of automobiles upon country roads. Attention was called to the numerous accidents which have occurred as a result of speeding automobiles, and remedial legislation was suggested by National Master Jones. Philadelphia, Nov. 1(5.—During the Inquest held in the cases of John Forkin and Joseph Garcia, laborers, who were killed at the MIdvale steel works on Nov. id, it was testified that the two men had entered a pit and that 80,000 pounds of hot metal poured from a leak and completely absorbed them. Not a trace of the bodies of the men was discovered. The steel company has decided to take about 8,000 pounds of the steel from the place where the men were last seen and have it buried out of respect for the dead workmen'. Mr. O'Brien was a member of the board for several years, having held membership during past of the period of the board of six and since up to last evening. He served several times is chairman. Mr. Connell explained his views were purely personal and he was not empowered to speak on behalf of any other parties. The conciliation board, he believed, had been an important factor in maintaining pcacc in the anthracite region and could not be improved upon.

After a motion to proceed with the filling of the vacancy caused by the resignation of Mr. O'Brien had been carried, the name of James J. Murphy was proposed. He received the unanimous vote of the board and was sworn in by the acting fchalVman. Mr. Murphy is a well known merchant of the Second ward. A motion was made and unanimously adopted that A. T. Walsh bo made permanent chairman of the body. The recipient of the honor made a short address of thanks to the members. Residents of Duryea are much perturbed by the continued cavfng above the old workings of William A. colliery.

The bodies were so badly torn and battered by / the force of the explosion that they cannot possibly be identified. They were found under the timbers at the top of the pile of debris at the bottom of the shaft, after a few timbers had been removed, but It is not thought that any more bodies will be discovered before daylight, as the other men are believed to be buried at the bottom of the timber. The pile of timber is surrounded by water and the members of the searching party experience great difficulty In their work. tions Have Been Received—Bene- Marries Miss Norma Walking, of Seranton Polish Catholics Have Largely Attend- fit Sale of Antique Brass.

After their return from a wedding trip to New York and other places of interest Mr. and Mn* Stnnner will reside In a newly furnished home on Roosevelt street." Fortunately the cave hole In the cemetery is in a part that has not been used for burial purposes. It is at the southern extremity of the lot. bordering on Getty street, and was recently added to the cemetery. The hole here is sloping and In the center is about 25 feet in depth. The nearest grave is some distance away, and it is hoped by those owning lots In the burial ground that the caving will stop before there is any danger of bodies being carried into the workings. —I'isliop Hoban Expect- ed to Officiate. On motion by Mr. Foster, seconded by Mr.Schwab , the board proceeded to fill the teaching corps by electing two night school teachers, for Garfield and Cleveland buildings. Five names were presented and on the first Fallot Miss Jeanette was elected. On the second liallot Miss Besrfio Walsh received the necessary number of votes. The teachers' committee and the supervising principal were ilirocted to place the teachers and a motion adopted that the two night schools open next Klonday evening.The Polish Catholic church in Puryea, Rev. J. Orlowski, pastor, is a scene of great activity and an extensive church ceremony today. For the number of persons participants in the services, .especially that of confirmation, nothing approaching it in size has ever'' been held heretofore In this region. There are between 1,000 and 1,500 candidates for confirmation, and it is expected that the administration of the sacrament, which begins at 3:30, will take several hours to complete. Rt. Rev. Bishop Hoban is to officiate at the administration of this sacrament. Adults and children, over the age of 12 years, will receive confirmation at the Bishop's hands. It isi said that the sacrament has not been administered in the Duryea Catholic church since previous to the death of the late Bishop O'Hara. This furnishes reason for the great number receiving It today. The public is cordially invited to attend a sale of antique brass to be held at 112 Susquehanna avenue, West Side, tomorrow afternoon. The proceeds of the will be added to the relief fund. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. ET CAETERA. The cave near the Edsall and Clauson homes remains much the same as it was yesterday.
