Death* V-

Shamokin, Pa., Ja'n. 5.—While four workmen were fceiifg lowered to to tihe new shaft of the Luke Fidler niltoe this morning1 the "bally" which balances the elevator, and which weighs about 1,000 pounds, fell upon them without warning. They were instantly killed, their bodfces being crushed so.horribly as to make them almost unrecognizable. The victims were:

JAMES MERRITT, age 25, of Springfield, Pa. leaves widow and one child. STEPHEN MERRITT, age 28, df Springfield, Pa. leaves widow and one child.

PATRICF^YNCH, age 33, olf Springfield, Pa., single. PETER BOBERT, age 23, of Springfield, Pa. wife and one child.

Ten men were engaged on the night shift im stoking the new shaft anid were hoisted to -the top at 4 o'clock

!to

eat

their breakfast. An ihour later the two Merrltts, Lynch and' Bobert stepped into the sh-aft-bucket and were being lowered into the workings, but wihen the bucket had descended about 800 feet, Engineer Bowen noticed a jarrtotg of the rope and immediaJtely stopped the machinery. The workmen on top found that the bucket was no longer attached to the wire rope and they rigged up another bucket and slowly lowered »iit to the 'bottom of the shaft, where they found the other bucket splintered and the mangled and bleeding bodies of their four ill-fated comrades scattered over the rocky floor. The shaft bucket in which the four men met their sudden death was guided in its upward and downward journeys by .the bliig cross pieces amd arms known, as the "billy," weighing half a ton. The wire rope passed through this "billy," and it is supposed' that ice formed on the rope while the workmen were eating theiir meal. The bucket passed through :in safety, but the "billy" was caught by it and the bucket had descended several hundred feet before the heavy weight caused the -ice to give way and allowed the "billy" to fall upon the men •wfoo were in the bucket. It is not 'thouglht that they were aw'are of .their darnger.

The colliery had been Hidle since October 8,1894, when the mine was set on fire by a careless workman and six lives were lost, four of the bodies not being recovered for nearly a year. Bobert, who was killed this morning, was a broitlher of one of ithe victims of the former disaster.

VOLUNTEER FIREMEN KILLED.

1,800 SHOTS A MINUTE.

Wonderful Rapidity 0/ fr'lro Attained by a New Kicctric ,r tiun. The naval r&pid-ftre gun board, of which Lieutenant N. E. Mason is the senior member, has submitted to Captain Sampson, chief of the bureau of ordnance a report on the trxal of an? Improved Gatling' gun. In Its genera# features the gun is the same as the 30callber gun tested by the board lastyear, says the Washington letter to New York Tribune. It differs in Important details, however. The caliber of .the Improved invention, is .236 and the length of the barrel tweaty-slx inches. A change in the firing mechanism has been made and now the operating is done from the right hand barrel, instead of the lower one. The change allows more time for the operation of the extractor and reduces the danger of disabling the gun by hang-firea. A novel electrical attachment is used with the gun whiich permits of about 1,800 shots per minute being fired, a remarkable showing. The litmproved Gatling under-* went tests in competition with the Brawnflag automatic gum recently described Jtn (these dispatches. Later 'it will have tx meet several foreign inventions. The experiments with the Gatling gun began with the firing of 1,000 rounds deliberately. This was 'followed by the discharging of 100 rounds rapidly. No time was taken for the first test, 'but to the second the record were nine seconds. There were no interrupItions to the firtog. Then twenty rounds were discharged time, three seconds. One misfire occurred. Forty rounds were fired to five seconds, fifty rounds to six seconds, 100 rounds to seven seconds, 200 rounds to thirteen seconds and 400 rounds to thirty-seven seconds. There were no interruptions to the operation. One man operated 'tihe crank and two men were at the feed. Later 400 rounds were fired in thirty seconds. Without any difficulty 460 shots were fired to one minute.

In the course of the last test one case, containing ten cartridges, wias split -laterally. Then followed the fiiang Of 100 rounds deliberately, every fifth cartridge being a dummy. The experiment was satisfactory to the board. Two hundred shots with the extreme elievartion and 200 shots With the extreme de-1 pression were then discharged, the timefor the first being twenty-»four seconds and for the latter twenty-one seconds^ With the barrel moving in train andt elevation, 200 rounds were fired in thirty seconds without any interruption. In these experiments two men successfully operated the crank. To determine how quickly damaged parts of the mechanism could be replaced, a test ensued of taking out an old and putting in a new tack 'the time was twentyeight seconds. The board fired the gum twenty times with one lock removed. No interruption occurred, but two unfired cartridges were thrown out. Some ill luck attended the attempit to fire the gun continuously for five mitoutes. A bullet became jammed in one of the barrels, and in one chamber two cartridge cases were found one against the other, the heads of both having been pulled off. The jams were but temporary. The record of the five minutes' firing was 1,980 slhots, forty of which were satisfactory hits. The range was 500 yards. With the range at 1000 yards the number of good 'hits was ten.

The board then made experiments with

fhe

gun havi-ig the electric motor

fitted on. The motor is attached to the breech of the gun casing by an interrupted screw. The electric current is regulated by a switch, and the connection with the firtog mechanism made and broken by a puSh-button held to the gunner's hands. The weight of the motor and casing is 106 pounds .their length, 21% inches. The add'i'ti-nlal length of the gun when the motor ds attached is twenty inches. The projection of the central shaft from the breech when the motor is unshipped is 21-16 inches. As stated, with the motor ill operation, the gun can fire 1,800 shots a minute. The -board says that several hundred shots were fired, the only interruption being due to temporary jams In the gun or feed strips, and that the action of t'he motor was smooth and regular throughout. 1 .*)

City Treasurer Bollln -SI 15,000 Short. Omalha, Neb., Jan. 6.—The report of the expert submitted to the oity council tonight shows that the entire defaJcaion of ex-Ciy Treasurer Henry Bollln amounts to more than $115,000. An impression has been circulated that the additional shortage of $77,700, which was only made public the other day, represents simply an error to booking. The report shows that this amount must be added to the $35,000 Shortage previously discovered.
