CALLED HIM LIAR | CAGE STUCK IN SHAFT. | FIGHT IN TUNNEL DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN LANCASTER A MINE DISASTER Disastrous Wreck An accident occurred in the Hollenback shaft, of the Lehigh & Wilkes-- barre Coal Co., yesterday morning, | which placed a number of miners in a I peculiar and rather dangerous position for a time. Ten men "were being lowered to their work in the mine on the cage, and when it was about 300 feet from the surface it stuck in the shaft. The men remained on the cage for a short- time. Finding no other way out of their predicament, they climbed from the cage to the surface by mean, of a ladder. The ascent was decidedly perilous, but all of the party made it in safety. It was well that they managed to leave the cage as soon as they did. for a few minutes later a pipe burst and the position which they had previously occupied was played upon by a strong stream of water.

Black Creek Junction on the Mahanoy Branch of the Lehigh Valley Railroad, was the scene last night of one of the worst wrecks that ever occurred on the ill-fated Weatherly hill. The wreck was the result of a coal train getting beyond control on the Weatherly hill, and crashing into an empty coal train at the .Junction. Harry Kargia, of Weatherly, engineer of the runaway train, was scalded to death, and property valued at $70,000 was destroyed. train, and the cars were piled up mountain high. The runaway engine was turned completely around and lay on its side, surrounded by wrecked coal cars. Engineer Rarig was found penned in his cab, and the railroad hands soon succeeded in pulling him through a hole in the top of the cab. He was still alive when taken out of the wreck, but expired soon after, without uttering a word. No external wound was visible except a flesh wound on the scalp. Death was due to the scalding hi- received from the escaping steam. The rlecensed is survived by his wife and one daughter. THEPONCEISSAFE Albany. N.

Last evening about eight o'clock, the train of which he was engineer rushed down the hill and through Weatherly village at a frightful rate of speed. As the train rushed through Weatherly thousands of sparks flew from the wheels, indicating that the brakes were on tight. At the same time the members of the terrified crew could be observed running over the cars toward the caboose, hoping to cut the latter off from the train and thus save themselves. Before this could be done, it became necessary for them to jump from the train. Fortunately they all escaped injury except Harry Dohey, whose right ankle was severely sprained. Of all the train hands, Engineer Hahig alone Clung to his post and in doing so paid the penalty of his life. George Ulshafer. towerman and operator at Black Creek Junction, was notified by Clarence Fortwangler, telegrapher at Weatherly, of the approach of the runaway train. Ulshafer at onoe vacated the tower and it was lucky that he did, for the Wreck carried away a portion of ihtt towC*r and meant his death had he remained in it.

To the dread was added belief that the Trinidad Shipping aud Trading company's steamship Maracas was towing the Ponce, but as the Trinidad steamer was four days late aud the net tonnage of the Ponce 750 tons heavier little was based on that theory. It was said the Ponce, on one hand, unless utterly tinutile to proceed, however slowly, under her own steam, would reject a tow, owing to the enormous salvage, and that if the Ponce was disabled she would l»e too heavy for the much lighter .Maracas to tow save in smooth seas. This had instant effect on the imperiled men. With rescue at hand they turned to assist those they had sought to hurl into the caisson a moment before.

Jan. 11.—To escape Indictment for insurance frauds a high official of the New York Life has turned Informer and given the district attorney information of frenzied insurance details which inevitably will lead to further indictments. The district attorney also said that the informer appeared before the December grand Jury and implicated others than George \Y. Perkins and Charles S. 1'airchlld, who now are under indictment. The name of the informer is withheld. "Are yon satisfied with that?" he asked of Mr. Mahon. Ciasp Hands After Row, Prices Cit In Every Department For answer Mr. Mahon rushed across the chamber, and the two men clasped hands amid loud applause. The house passed the army appropriation bill and began the consideration of the fortifications bill. All the pitifully meager hopefulness of the conditions, it was said, was double discounted by the possibility that the Ponce and Maracas had been in collision and that both had sunk. In addition the steamship Caracas, arriv ing in Potto Kico, reported to the United States liydrographic office here that on Jan. 7, about forty-five miles from the place where the Ponce was when last sighted, she saw a dismasted derelict 150 feet long. The derelict lay only two or three feet above the water, in a terrible position to ram a ship on a dark night. It was full in the New York-Porto Itico lane. There was a tragic chance, it was remarked, that if the Ponce and Maracas had not run into each other either of them may have been sent to the bottom by the derelict.
