Dunbab, July 8. There was a most
dramatic scene at the Hill farm mine in
quest this afternoon. John Kerwin, the man
who struck into the fatal coal hole, was on
the stand and told his story. The room was
crowded and while he graphically desbribed
the mighty rush of water ana the flash of
the gas not a person in the crowded room
mored. Nothing could be heard but the
steady voice of the black-eyed, black-whiskered
miner, which only faltered once or
twice. Ihe inspectors, the attorneys, the
Coroner, every one leaned forward and
listened in rapt attention. "When he finished
on audible sigh went up. His story was
told so concisely that but few questions
were needed on cross-examination. The
attorneys indulged in a number of spats.
PLACING IHE BLAME ON KEIOHLET.
Mr. Downs, of the Knights of Labor,
opened up a new phase of the case by ques
tions which would indicate that part of the
blame is on Inspector Keighley. Mr. Lind
say, for the Dunbar Company, fought every
question which looked toward an inquiry
into the result of the work of the rescuing
party, and at times the arguments were
rather loud-voiced.
The loss of David Hay and the reason
for it was feelingly told. Kerwin said:
'Hav shouted to me 'Is my boy down the
slope?' and then plunged into the fire and
smoke to try and reach linn."
Inspector Keighley admitted he told a com
mittee of the miners that he would close the
mine if lie found it as bad as they said. He
also admitted he told them after the examina
tion that it was worse than they reported. He
said, though, he found other things that he htd
to report, and would tell what they weie when
he took tbe stand.
IHE SIOEKIKO SESSIOK.
I The first witness called to-da was Robert Lang,
Superintendent of tbe Hill Farm mines, who
testified that tbe Hill Farm and tbe Ferguson
minewtre operated by tbe same company as
one mine. It was at his instance that the drill
bole was tapped. He did not think there was
any gas in tbe hole.and tbongbt tbe water could
do no damage. The Hill Farm and Ferguson
mines have tbe same ventilation, and Hay and
bbearin were warned of their danger, bnt they
did not heed the warning. Witness had been at
the Hill Farm for six years. Tbe mines were
inspected often, and t ere thongbt by the mine
boss to be in good condition. They drilled a
similar bore bole some time ago and exneri
enced no bad effects. Witness thoucht if Hay
and Sbearln had heeded the warning they would
bare escaped.
Mine Inspector James Bllek, of the Seven
teenth district, sworn: Water holes are gen
erally tapped as this one was tapped. The
water in this hole could have done no damaee.
Have mines in my district as large as both Hill
Farm and Ferguson, wbere bat one mine boss
is employed. They generally have three as
sistants. Think a. fan in tbe mines wonld bave
been very dangerous. Tbe smoke coming ont
tbe man way wonld bave been driven back to
where tbe men were found. Brattice in all
mires is imperfect generally. Conld have
tapped the bore bole witb a small drill. There
would have been no danger there if the mine
had been f nil of men. There was not enough
water in tbe hole to be dangerous. Tbe map
wbicb gnided ui while seeking the imcrlsoned
men did not show the point wbere we drilled
through Hill Farm. Tbe mining law does not
say how a mine shall be ventilated. It is not
an nnnsnal thing in this region to ventilate
mines by steam pipes. It is a hard matter for
an inspector to close a mine down. He is com
pelled to call another inspector ana obtain an
injunction from court prohibiting work in the
mines.
jicte ixspectob lorm's say.
It was nearly 2 o'clock before Henry Lontit,
Mine Inspector of the Sixty-first diEtrict, was
called. He said:
I've been mine Inspector for six years; came
here Tuesday morning after the accident.
"How would yon have proceeded to tap that
bore hole?" asked Mr. Byrnes.
"I would have reached for it with a drill
hole."
"Would the accident have happened, thenr"
'1 think not: saw such a hole at tbe Cincin
nati mine. A drill bole had been drilled, would
open such a hole when no one was in tbe pit."
In answer to Questions of Mr. Lindsay, Mr.
Lontit said: "I have no such holes in my dis
trict; have formed my opinion of this from
what I learned here "
Inspector Keighley took charge of the wit
ness "Am slope mine m your district?"
"Three."
"Any fans used?"
"None."
"Any difficulty in satifying yourself what
constitntes one coal mine or two?"
A great deaL The law is indefinite.
"Wonld I be justified in closing the mine on
this report?" and Mr. Keighley handed the now
famous report.
"I do not You wonld have to go to court,
and courts don't always act promptly. My
mind is not clear whether these two mines are
separate or not."
A WBONO MOTE.
William Jenkins, Mine Inspector of the
Maryland district was called. He said: "With
the experience I have I would have tapped tho
bore hole with a small drill. I think it was
wrong to put a man to dig tbrough with a pick.
At the Standard, near Mt Pleasant, tbe men
cut tbrough a hole and tbe entries were flooded
two feet deep. If proper precaution had been
followed I think tbe accident conld have been
everted. I think there was an explosion, and
smoke was the evidence of it."
Mr. Lindsay held that the smoke might have
come from a fire.
Mr. Jenkins -a as asked by Mr. Keighley about
closing the mine down.
Ho said. "I don't think I wonld close the
mine down. Then promise to regulate these
difficulties, and then going to work to mako
them relieve jou."
Mr. Jenkins then told of difficulties he had in
his district about the emplojment of mine in
epectorg. He said- "I bave cases trying to get
tbe companies to appoint additional mine
bosses. The law says for overv mine there
must be a mine boss. They appealed the cases
and the decision is still hangings Went to the
Judge some weeks ago and asked him to do
something. He promised to appoint a commit
tee to determine the fact. The mines are not
connected underground nor ventilated by the
same current. If I were a mine boss I would
have tested that borehole and been present
when it was cut."
THE LAW KT QTJESTIOK.
Mr. Downs asked if tho promise to fix up the
mine would relieve him. He then read the law
on this subject and asked:
"Is that not mandatory?"
"Yes "
"Should he not give them a written notice?"
"Isn't that a notice, Mr. Downs?" and In
spector Keighley banded htm a piece of paper.
"Well, but a promise don't hold, does it?"
Inspector Keighley then testified that he
beard orders gn en to remedy these defects.
J. K. Adams, Mine Inspector from tbe Third
district was called He said: "I would have
tanped that bore with a small drill. It was
dangerous In mv opinion to open It witb a pick.
If there w as water of that depth I would know
there was dinger v
Austin King, Mine Inspector from the Eighth
district, testmed. He Slid: I would have

KEBEVIN'S GEAFHIC STOBT.
John Kerevin, the man who picked
through into the bore hole, was sworn. He
raid:
-I was about 100 feet from the bottom of the
main slope. I was digging into that bole;
Hughle Doran put me there. That morning f
went down, and Jos. lleighley was ith me.
.Beighley saw Hnghie, and the Utter called me
Midgut me to work into this hole. I com--jnenced
to dig. and dug one car of coal and
went to get a wason. I told Iionn t h amoir
n clay vein; got a car and loaded It; loaded an- I
jMter car. aud the boy Hayes placed th next J
car; got another one. Jos. Belgliley and Ed
Conden came np to me, and asked bow many
cars I loaded, ltold them I hadn't tapped tbe
hole. He turned to go away, and I bad
a piece of coal to cut don n. Just as I cut down
the coal, Conden was stanaing near, 1 heard
the water bursting in the coal. I don't know
tho exact amount of water. Conden told
me the hole was full of water. 1 jumped for
tbe slope, and he with me. My open lamp was
hanging on the showl, and I didn't reach for it;
had between six and seven feet to go. It made
a dreadful report. I was scared and asked
abont the men below. Up the slope I saw tho
empty trip coming. I rushed for the other
side of the slope. The boy Hayes came down
and Conden asked him for a light, but he said
he hadn't time. As soon as he got to the bora
hole I saw the gas light and I fell. I heard a
report; got up and found I was In smoke. I
dropped agnin. I called to Joseph Bigley, but
received no answer.
IHE BBATTICE WAS BURNING.
I saw a light ahead of me and tried for it, but
it went out. Then I crawled up and got into
tbe drainway and found David Hay and
Thomas Shearin. Old man Hay tried to cet to
tbe slope to release the men, bnt couldn't. A
man named Kelly said. ' Let's get out of here."
Then I came to the manwav and there was no
fire or smoke. Then about 1,200 feet from the
bore hole. Somebody said it was off its hinges.
I think It was myself. Then Clarence Bigley
came up and said tbe slope was in flames. We
got out as fast as we could. I saw no smoke
until we cot out of tbe mine.
"In August, two years ago," continued the
witness, "Hugh Doran, John McFarland and
myself, found gas near the No. 1 bore hole.
It was ignited. These two men conld have
gotten out. Doran brought a wooden plug
down to pine up the water.
Edward Conden. who was with Kerwin, was
called. He said: "I was digging coal in the
mine the morning of tbe accident. Bigley and
I went up to see Kerwin get a ducking, when
the bole was broken tbrough. He didn't quite
get into the hole and I caught Kerwin by the
arm and helped pull him away. Bigley was
down tbe mine; saw the boy. Hay, run down,
but didn't hear any roar; saw tbe flash, then
pulled my hat over my face and started out on
a run. I wanted to get out as soon as I conld.
Hay and Shearing could have come out with
me if they wanted. Shearin went down to
see what was wrong."
"Did you see the brattice bnrning?" asked
Mr. Keighly.
KNEW OP NO OAS IN IHE MINE.
No. I saw the flash. It scared me. It was
like a keg of loose powder going off. Never
knew any gas in the mine."
Mr. Keigbly had Mr. Kerwin recalled.
"Did anyone attempt to tear brattice?"
"No one. I don't think they could have got
ten in to tbe brattice to tear it down. It would
take a strong man to tear it down. Part was
muslin and part brattice cloth. I was little
scared for myself when I was breaking through.
There were over 1,000 feet of brattice. The
bursting of the water made a louder report than
tbe gas explosion."
James (iant, one of the drillers, was called.
T am a driller. Been in the business eight
years. Drilled tbe bole where the accident oc
curred. Began it In the last part of April. It
was abont 600 feet deep. Never saw any acci
dents in drilling these wells. Found no signs
ot gas in the well. Have told tbe Superintend
ent and officials that there was no gas. 1 knew
there was water in the hole. The officials knew
there was water in the hole. We finished our
work baturday morning before the accident.
The gas might have accumulated."
"Was there any casing in this hole?" asked
Mr. Keighley.
"No, sir."
"So you usually find gas in these holes?"
"Yes, in the majority of cases."
Superintendent Frank A. Hill was called.
He was sworn, and Mr. Byrnes questions! him.
"Have been in charge of entire property since
last March. Lang is snperintendent of the
mines and Evans is mine boss. 1 knew the
bore hole was to be pnt down. Knew bore hole
was finished and opened.
"I was in the mines continuously from tbe
time of the accident till a few days ago. I
don't thine the rescuing party reached the
point they started for. I saw Inspector Keigh
ley 's report in the office.
Thomas Mills was called. He said: "I and
John Pendegraff and TbomasMcCIearlynotifled
Mr. Keighley of the Dad condition. Ho told
us that if we would swear to our statements he
wonld put it to law."
"What did Mr. Keighley say when he came
out of tbe mine? "I asked bim if he found
things as we said, and be said yes. or a good
deal worse." Tbe witness further said: "I told
Keighley that men were pushing into the
Mahoning without a drill hole."
Mr. Keighley asked tbe witness: "What day
did you call on me?"
"May 17. Saturday about noon."
"You got down to tbe farm sometime Monday.
Ton couldn't bave gotten to tbe mine sooner.'
men tne witness warned to asK a question.
He wanted to Know how be came through from
tbe Ferguson.
Keighley said there were several reasons
one was that be was mad.
The witness then said Keighley told him he
could not get through from the Ferguson on ac
count of the water.

A Lady Dies at the Abb of 113, Having Used
Tobacco Nearly 100 Years.
rSPECIAI. IELXOBAM TO THE DISPATCH. 1
Stbacusb, July 8. Mrs. Eva B. Hart,
of Cicero Center, whose death was chron
icled to-day, turns out to have been a most
remarkable person. Her age (113), verified
by the best of authority, shows her to have
been born the year after the Declara
tion of Independence was signed. Her
life was strangely checkered, and in
her early days 6he made several narrow
escapes from Indian massacres in the Mo
hawk Valley. Until within two years of
her death she was a very hard worker, doing
her own cooking, washing and ironing. In
her old age her hair turned snowy white and
began to lall out, but a few years ago her
hair was noticed to becomingout again, and
instead ot being gray or white was jet black.
It was the bocst of the old lady that she
was never sick a dav in her life nor took a
drop of medicine. Ever since the children
can remember. Mrs. Hart has Smoked her
pipe. Tho absence ol the doctors and the
presence of the pipe is what she found to be
tbe elixir of life. At the time of her death
she had 6 children, 25 grandchildren, 21
great grandchildren and 1 great great
grandchild. The latter is Henry Edgar
Boe, Jr., the 13 months' son of Mr. and
Mrs. Henry Boe, of West Adams street,
this city.

Headache
May arise from stomach troubles, biliousness,

periodic headaches for which they can ascribe
no direct or definite cause. But the headache
is a sure indication that there is something
wrong somewhere, and whatever the cause.
Hood's Sarsaparllla is a reliable remedy for
headache, and for all troubles which seem to
require a corrective and regulator. It cures
dyspepsia, biliousness, malaria, tones the stom

it is more essential to have

will do the work you require
than the "Dress Shields." We
have given very careful at
tention to introduce to our
stocky only such grades of
goods as we can guarantee to
give satisfaction. We beg to
call your attention to some of
the prominent makes to be
found in our stock.
We introduce our "Violet"
Rubber Lined Shield, which
contains a perfumed pad,
making it very desirable; No.

ther Weight Shields in Nos. 2

Weight Shields in Nos. 2 and
3. Both these shields we can
recommend to give satisfac

equal merit, and can suit
every lady who uses dress

what is claimed for the article.
