The Kdgorten Tuhacce Jlepertcr Bays:
The market for the new crop has hardly
been as brisk the past week aa the previous
ones, and yet a number of buyers are riding
in the country and sales are numerous.
J'rlecs remain unchanged. Extra line leta
bring geed prices, while the poorer grades
range corretpeudlngly down the scale.
Frem the best information the Jlepertcr
has been able te gather, we are Incllued te
the belief that net less 7,000 cases of the new
crop have passed from the growers' hands, or
close te one fourth et the acreage In the
state. We learn that Dallmeyer, of Pitts
burg, baa purchased a number of seed leaf
crops, paying from 0 to7e.

Heeretary Kdge, of the state beard of agrl
culture, who was present at the March moot meet
ing of the Laucaster County Agricultural
society at which the question of commer
cial fertilizers was discussed, has Issued a
circular te tobacco growers In which he
say i : "At the suggestion of several gentle
men in your county, this department Is en
gaged In an investigation Inte the ettcct nf
different kinds of fertilizers upon the tobacco
crop, and with especial reference te the use
of commercial fertilizers. In this connection
we ask the co-eperatlou and assistance of the
practical tobacco growers of your county. It
will be a favor if you will Surniabme, at your
earliest e invenienee, with the result of your
experience in tue use et commercial ferti
lizers upon this crop. I would also like te
have the result of any suggestions which you
may have te eiler as te the real or supposed
vtlect which commercial fertilizers have upon
the burning qualities of tobacco. Any infor
mation which you may deem of sulUcient
luiportanee te offer will be duly acknowl
edged in our report, should the Information
gained warrant one."
Formula Fer Tobacco Fertilisers.
A favorite formula among tobacco growers
at HhetUeld, Conn., and vicinity Is te mix to
gether 1,000 pounds et best quality of, cotton
seed meal, tee pounds of .high grade cotton
hull aahes and coo pounds or pure lime, sp
plying two tens per acre of tbla mixture. At

The home made mixture probably contains
much mere lime than thu commercial fertil

Monday afternoon Mita Minnie Hetter, of
Hl Clair, a Vasaar collegiate student, who
had as a visitor a classmate, Miss Harllata
Hhaul, of Hharen Hprlngs, N. Y., escorted by
Harry Hhert and Kdwln Thern psen, one el
the operalors of the colliery, entered the mine
of the Chamberlain colliery, In ML Clair,
Pa, for the purpose of giving Miss Hhsul
an opportunity in Inspect the ortleii
of mlnlugcetl. The mine had net been lu
opetatlon for a week, and none but the pirty
et explorers wereluslde at tlie time. In an
adjacent working, however, were Albert
Thoiuiseu, nf the operating llrm.and several
ethers, making examinations of the work.
They were startled by n heavy explosion,
and knowing that the psrty had entered the
ether b1eki, they hastened thtther le Investi
gate. About 150 yards from the feet of the
slope they came uen the party lying upon
the ground, some of them unconscious, and
all frightfully burned and mangled. They
were taken out aa speedily as possible and
medical attendance obtained.
Miss Keller's face was burned beyond re
cognition, her skull; aud tblgb fractured and
ankle crushed, and she died In the evening.
Miss Hhaul had a leg badly fractured and was
terribly bruised and burned, but may sur-
Ivu. Short's head Is a mass nf cuts aud con
fusions, and he is badly burned He re
mains unconscious, and his recovery Is
doubtful. Thompson Is painfully but net
fatally bruised. The precise cause of the ex
plosion Is uoknewn, but the supposition Is
that the party carried a naked lamp and
encountered a body el lire damp, which Ig
niting from the lamp, expleJud with tre
mendous force.

Influence of beer, when this accident hap
pened which was shout five o'clock t Geerge
Penlz was stabbed by Alexander Ijeibsley, I

slabbing; the first one te oeme te where the
stabbing took place waa Alvln Heffman, and
he came alter 1 went te him in the front part
el the building Lelbsley was quarrelsome;
he wanted te quarrel with different ones ; I
took blm out te the kitchen and wanted te
pacify him and after I talked te him awhile

friendly way and Lelbeley would net
listen te him and stsbbed him; the
cutting waa done with an ordinary
pocket-knife ; tbe llrst time he struck at
Pentz I did net notice the knife, but when
he struck tbe second time 1 saw be had a
knife ; both were standing up when tbe stab
Ing occurred ; Lelbsley and Pentz had net
quarrelled befere the cutting ; Lelbeley made
some remark before be stabbed Penlz, but
wbst It wss I don't distinctly remember ; the
stabbing wss done with Leibsley'a own

he fell.
COIinOllOHATIVB TKSTIMOKV.
Alvln H. Hedman sworn. We bad some
beer st the beuse where we were working;
everything was going vlf pleasantly; tbe first
beer we bad waa about half-past ten in the
morning, and that keg was all by neon; we
get another keg right after 12 o'clock, and I
think It was about three o'clock when weget
the third; all the carpenters, plasterers and
painters working In tbe neighborhood drank
et tbe beer; we worked until neon; there was
about oue-bnlt of the third keg drank when
the cutting occurred; there was no one about
the building se drunk tbey did net knew
what they weie doing; tbe cutting was done
between a quarter of five and live o'clock;
Ijeibsley waa disposed te be a little ugly and
Qelberseu took him from tbe dining-room,
where the beer was, te the kitchen te pacify
him; 1 leek my brother te the deer, told
him te go home, as he bad beer enough,
when Oelbersen came te me and said, "It Is
all up with Penlz, as Lsbaley has stabbed
blm;" I at once scut tnr a doctor and went te
the kitchen aud found hliu lay lug en tbe fleer,
between the tiath room beilerr; I picked
him up and put. him en tbe siairs and be
was theu unconscious; 1 eisined bis shirt
and found that he was cut ou the neck, ever
tbeceliar-bjue; I sent for a bucket of water,
which I think Lulbiley brought, and with It
washed tbe wound ; there was no doctor
came for quite a while and I left Pentz In
charge nf Lelbsley aud went te leek for a
doctor; I met Dr. Furniss and leek him te
the beuse aud by the time 1 get back te tbe

Dr. H. 1-. Kneriiiaii, sworn. It was five
or ten minutes psit & o'clock hen I get te
the house wlmre i'uiiiz was cut. He waa
sitting lu a corner et the kitchen alongside
of Lteusley ; Lelbsley bad his arm around
Peutr.'a neck, uud Penlz's head was laying
en Lteb.ley's arm and Liebaley had a glass of
beer lu his baud which he was pouring down
Pentr.'a threat ; be could net swallow it as
fast as Lelbsley poured it and it ran out or
his mouth ; 1 ordered Pentz te be carried te
another room bad him covered with blank
ets and applied bet plates te different parts
of bla body ; he lsy lu a semi-conscious con
dition for three hours ; about bslt-past eight
o'clock Dr. Foreman arrived and as seen aa
we thought blm able we bad htm moved te
bis home; while I was there I de net think
be bled a wine glassfull externally ; at times
bis heart was very feeble and bla pulsation
was eutlrely gene ; the wound was dressed
by Dr. Foreman alter be was taken home.
Tbe wound was about half an inch
leek, right above and parallel with tbe collar cellar
bjne, about Ibree-feurthe or an ineh
te the right or where the cellar and breast
bones meet; I inserted a small silver probe
Inte tbe wound te find its depth and it went
dewnwarda and backwards, one inch and a
half ; it la the same wound I aaw at tbe post pest
mortem examination ; 1 saw ue ether wound
ou the body ; tbe wound bore every evidence
of having been made witb a knife or some
ether sharp Instrument.
THK OAUMK Of HIS HKATH.
Doctors M. L. Uerr. and D. R. McCermlck
testified the following as the cause of bis
death.
"After a thorough Investigation el tbe
causes of death of Geerge W. Pentz we believe
that It was consequent upon bemerrbsge Inte
the right pleural cavity caused by itjury te
tbe right subclavian vein."
Dr. S. B. Foreman sworn : I was called t
see Geerge Pentz en the eveulug of this oc
currence, and found blm suffering from a
slab weuud in the ueck ; the doctor next de
scribed the weuud aa appears above ; after
giving Pentz some stimulants, we concluded
about ball au hour alterwards, that it waa
safe te roiueve hiui te bis home ; he was
taken Intro lu a covert d wagon ; be was
conscious all tbe tlme 1 was at the beuse ;
be wasplsced In bed, aud the next day X no
ticed that he had some plmuetlc palu ; I
treated blm for this pleurisy, and his gen
eral weakened coudltleri, and be continued
te improve uutll about eight days age ; be
felt se well aud eeemeu se well that be
wanted te go out but I did net deem it advii
able te let blm go out ; he went down atalrs
te tbe kltcbeu, however, aud en the follow
ing day tbe pleuretle palu returned; be be
came worse aud continued ae until the
time or his death; en Sunday morning
It was decided te bave a consultation
and Dr. Uenry Carpenter was called In ;
we saw that tbe man was In a critical condi
tion and about 1 o'clock en Sunday morning
I was summoned te the house and went at
onee and when I get there he waa dead ; I
m wiu luat ue was conscious up 10 few
minutes before his death and that he died
rather auddenly; 1 can net say that the
pleurisy resulted from the wound but it may
bave; Pentz waa several hours In tbla
new house and may have contracted
pleurisy while be wai lying there ; In sub
stance I sgree with the conclusions of Doctors
Uerr and McCermlck aa te tbe cause of death death
Penlz was suilerlng with cold some time
previous te the cutting and hla lungs may
usH bave been entirely healtby ; but I would
net say positively aa te that I examined the
wound frequently and found no inflamma
tion and be did net bave any complaint te
make as te paln-frem tbe wound.
PONTZ'S ANTI MOItTBM STATBMKNTS.
Alderman Barr waa sworn and produeed
