Thursday while boating on what is
known as the Old Paper Mill dam,
at Huntingfon Mills, Pa. The dead
are:
Maud Sutcliffe, aged 17 years;
Carolyn Koonz, aged 16; Ruth Bon

16; Madeline Godd, ajed 17; Robert
Minnich, aged 17; R.-.y Doosou, aged

Twelve students of the Hunting-

at the noon hour and started for a
row about the daqj, Ibe dam is
nearly half a mile in width,‘afid wheu
the two crafts had reached Uie centre
of the body of water it was noticed
that one of them had sprung a leak.
fThe two boats were then pulled
together by the young men in the
party and an effort was Ireing mane
to transf-r the girls from the leaky
boat to the safe craft. The last one
of the party had successfully set foot
in the boat when it began to sink
under the weight of the party.
The girls were helpless to save
themselves and the boys of the par-
ty, with the exception of Dodson,
being expert shimmers, struck
out for the shore, which all reached
In safety. 'Minnich, in the excite
ment, It is presumed, thought that
all the young women had succeeded
in roac.hing land. He had no sooner
gained the bank than Tie noticed the
girls hanging to the rapidly sinking
boat.
The boy dashed into the water and
swam swiftly to the water-filled
craft. Only two of the girls were
clinging to the boat, the others hav
ing gone down for the last time.

dicated by a statement made by Mr.
Forbes Thursday night. The bal
loon broke the ascent record, It is
declared, and some valuable photo
graphs of the comet were secured at
an elevation of 18,000 feet.
'On Tuesday morning after meas
urement, Messrs. Fornes and Yatea,
In the Viking, passed through a snow
storm, at 11.40 o'clock, at an eleva
tion of 16,000 feet. An hour later
they passed, through the second flur
ry .at a height of 16,400 feet. At 2
o’clock on Tueeday afternoon the
balloon reached the extreme alti
tude of 20,600 feet, which Is 2,000
feet higher than any authorized rec
ord ever made In America. Mr.
Forties thus describes their exper
iences after reaching the greatest
height:
"In descending from the great ele
vation we had very little sand left,
and as the gas contracted, the bal
loon bag became extremely flabby
Fv.’rything, however, went well until
we were a few hundred feet above
the ground when the appendix line
broke loose from the ring supporting
the basket
Rescue parties succeeded early on
Thursday in saving four tnen who
had been working at the bottom of
the shafts, but were prevented by
the gas from penetrating to a point
where the other men are imprisoned..
Every Indication was that Inner
workings of the mine were afire. Dis
tracted crowds of relatives surround
ed the pit head. The colliery is
owned by the Earl of Longsdale and
its workings extend four or five
miles beneath the sea.
fThe spot where the 85 hewers and
some fifty-odd shiftmen still impris
oned were working at the time of
the explosion Is about three miles
from the shaft exit.

caused the rip cord, which is at

Southern Cotton Reaches Europe in
Very Bed Shape.
A decision was handed down by
the Inner-State commerce commis
sion Wednesday with the importance
of the prop r baling of cotton ship
ped from points in the South to Eu
ropean destinations. In the course
of the opinion the commission says:
"it is not deemed amiss to call
the attention of cotton growers and
shippers and the railroads to the
fact that cotton bales from th^ Unit
ed States shipped to Europe are re
ceived in worse oon.Mtion as to pack
ing than cotton bales arriving there
from any other country.”
The case was brought by Ander
son. Clayton & Co., of Oklahoma,
against the Chicago, Rack Island and
Pacific Railway Company, and other
Int r-StsUe carriers, in which it was
alleged that every service, including
the applying of the owners or ship
pers patches to cotton bales in their
Compression, was included in the
through fr&lght rate to final desti-
naticn of the shipment.
The commission holds that the
facts do not justify an order against
the defendant carriers: that the car
riers Lxt*the riJht to compress cot
ton in transit and that the shippers
or owners have the privilege of c. n-
eentrating cotton at designated com
presses, with the right of such ship
pers .or owners to delivesr the cotton
hack* to the carriers for transporta
tion to Its final destination on the
through rate for point of origin.
