SCOTT ING1LIS 422 Lackawanna Avenue. Four men and a boy were burned by an explosion of gas in the Harry E. colliery of the Temple Coal company at Forty Fort yesterday afternoon. Three of the victims are in a serious condition and the boy will likely die. They are: Anthony Cosh, laborer, Swoyerville; Oscar Aregood, pump runner, Forty Fort; John Boranskie, laborer, Swoyerville; Joseph Rutkowskle, laborer, Swoyerville; George Kile, door tender, Maltby.

Nobody seems to be able to explain the cause for the explosion, but it is assumed. that a naked lamp touched off a pocket of gas. The men were taken from the mine as soon afterwards as possible and hurried to the city hospital in Wilkes Barre. Kile, the door boy, is the most seriously burned. Three quarters of his body is charred black and it Is thought that he is burned inwardly.

The burns of the other four are confined to the face and hands. w. ai. UUWHU5, s. J.

Most of the deaths, in fact, twenty five, were those of infants. The usual summer complaint, cholera infantum, is therefore more prevalent than ever before.

BONES OF VICTIMS OP SLOCUM DISASTER. Special to The Truth. pant now owns the watershed from Mt. Ararat to thig city. A deal was consummated yesterday by which President W.

W. Scranton, of the Scranton Gas and Water company, acquired the properties of the Consolidated Water company, which owned the watershed from Mt. Ararat to Archbald. The acquisition of the Scranton Gas and Water company is a most desirable one, as it contains more than one hundred miles of very fine watershed. It includes the following ponds and reservoirs: Mt.

Ararat, Crystal Lake, Newton Lake, Chapman Lake, Heart Lake, Stillwater, Low Lake, Fiddle Lake, Dunn Lake, Beaver Meadows, Fall Pond and reservoirs Nos. 3, 4 and 7.

Crystal Lake Water company, Carbondale Water company, Jermyn and Rushbrook Water company, and Mayfield Water company. The purchase price is not made public, but some idea may be formed when It is known that J.

J. Jermyn's share of the profits as president of the Consolidated Water company was $500,000. The Consolidated Water company was Incorporated February 2, 1889, forming a consolidation of the companies named. It controls the water supply from Mt. Ararat, eighteen miles above Carbondale, to Archbald, supplying a district between Archbald and Forest City and reaching a population estimated at 75,000.

The capital stock of the Consolidated Water company is J500.000 at $100 par.

The most important matter consid take testimony on the question before trying to adjust the matter. A new grievance submitted was from the Schuylkill region. The miners of the Mary D. colliery of the Mary D. Coal Company protested that the company had not lived up to the terms of the award of the Strike Commission, but it was found that the company was not a party to the commission, and therefore the Conciliation Board had no jurisdiction in the matter.

So the grievance was discarded. It was decided to take testimony in several of the grievances which President Dettrey of the Hazleton district has presented at the next meeting. It is likely that the next meeting will be held in Hazleton, at a date yet to be decided upon. The board adjourned at noon until 2 o'clock this afternoon. Camden, X.
