r" Mr- " T'V THE PITTSBURG: DISPATCH, THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 19, 1891 ? tC . fr I s ?; NOBODY TO CENSUBE. Outlines of the Beport of the Legisla tive Committee Which PROBED THE MAMMOTH I10RU0R. A Difference of Opinion as to the Cause of the Accident THE ADVOCATES OP WOMAN SDFFEAGE HTECIAI. TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.! Haekisbueg, Feb. IS. The joint com Xnittee of the Legislature which visited the Mammoth mine a few days after the ter rible calamity which cost nearly 100 men their lires expects to haTe its report ready for presentation to the Legislature this week. It will not be long, as a portion of the work assigned to the committee will be undertaken by the commission appointed to revise and modify the bituminous mine laws if changes should be thought necessary to secure increased safety to miners. This was one of the original duties of the committee that inspected the Mammoth mice. Another duty was to ascertain the condition of the families of the dead miners with a flew to the extension f needed re lief. Tne distribution of 525,000 among these people by the owners of the ill-fated mine will likely render unnecessary any as sistance from the State. The only thing for The committee to do with these matters dis posed of is to report the cause of the acci dent. Senator Thompson, who is a practical miner, does not think the company operat ing the mine was at all responsible, and as the evidence from witnesses working in tbe neighborhood was to the effect that the fire bosses had done their duty, so far as their knowledge went, it was reasonable to sup pose that they were guiltless of any negli gence in the Mammoth mine. In his opin ion tbe fire damp imperceptibly arose from the bed of the mine, accumulated about the roof and came in contact with a naked lamp, causing the explosion. Other members of the committee have different theories con cerning the origin of the disaster. THE SCHOOL BOOK FIGHT. tetter From a California Official Against tlio State Publishing Them. rFTECIAL TELEOHAX TO THE DISPA.TTR.I HAKKISBUKG, Feb. IS. The publishing firms which have been wont to furnish the public schools of Pennsylvania with neces sary books are leaving no opportunity un improved to defeat the bills providing for the printing ot these books by the State. Among the arguments against the adoption of the proposed scheme is its alleged unsatisfactory working in California. J. TV. Anderson, Superintendent of Public Instruction of that State, has written a letter, which is being extensively used by representatives of publishing firms with the members of the Legislature. The only merit it has, in his opinion, is that it se cures State uniformity. The cost has been immense, 0,000 of each of ten bonks pub lished in California having cost 5400,000. Priva e publishers have been required to lednce the price of their books, but superior books turned out by the State can be pur chased in the open market even without a discount. Superintendent Anderson closes his letter with the statement that he cannot advise any State to assume the publication of the school books in view of the vast ap propriation required, the interest on these appropriations, the wear and tear of the plant, the inferiority of the books and their greater cost than better books in the market. COSTS IS CRIMINAL TBIALS. Two 13111s In te,K.d to Greatly Reduce Ex penso to Counties. lePZCXAX. TELEQEAil TO THE DISFATCir.l Habbisbtjrg, Feb. 18. Senator Bob bins, of Westmoreland, introduced two bills to-night, which would result in great saving to counties in fhe ex pense of running criminal courts. One of them allows jurors to dispose of costs in all criminal cases except those triable exclusively in the courts of Oyer and Terminer. In cases of unfounded pros ecutions in petty larceny, instead of com pelling the payment of costs by the county, as at present, the jury or grand jury could compel the prosecutor to pay costs. The other act overrules the Kishbaugh case, decided by the Supreme Court, in which it was held that in criminal prosecu tions, where a defendant was acquitted or the bill ignored and prosecutor sentenced to pay costs, he can be discharged without pay ment of costs or any imprisonment. The result of this is that no criminal wili pay costs and the connties are enm- . pellerl to pay the costs. This bill proposes to compel every criminal sentenced to pay costs, and either to do so or go to jail. Many thousands of dollars will be saved to the counties if these bills become laws. TAXATION OF CHUECH PB0PEBTY. Tho American Eecular Union Trying to Create a Sentiment for It. ISPECIAt. T1XEGUAJI TO THE DISPATCn.I ITabbisbueg, Feb 18. The American Secular Union is trying to create a senti ment among members of the Legislature in favor of a modification or the Constitntion so as to include in the list of taxable sub jects church property, from which, it is maintained, a yearly revenue of 530.000,000 could be obtained by imposing a 2 per cent tax on its full value. The system of ex empting church property from" taxation is denounced as unjust and oppressive and in utter disregard of the most obvious obliga tions of morality a kind of deadhcadism of which honorable men should be ashamed. The individual is compelled to contribute to the support of churches just as much as his own tax is increased in consequence of the exemption of church property irom tax ation, the Secular Union says. It is need less to cay that the movement of the body is , not making much impression on the legisla tors. FEMALE STJFFEAGE AGAIH". Senator Thompson AiUcd to Father a Bill in Favor of It. rSrECIAL TELZGBAH TO TBE DISPATCH. I Hakkisbutbo. Feb. 18. The frequent re i buffs which the advocates of female suffrage have received at the hands of the Leg islature have not discouraged them, for they hare concluded to make another struggle lor the franchise at this session. Mrs. Lu cretia M. 15. Mitchell has written a letter to Senator Thompson, of this county, in which she refers to his ardent advocacy of the cause of women several vears ago, and aski him to extend his fatberly care to a bill that the disfranchised women propose to sub mit to the Legislature. Mrs. Mitchell expresses the hope that at no distant day this will be a real republic, that is when the fair sex have the power to wield the ballot SAT DOWN UPON. The BUI Against Giving or Selling Liquor on Decoration Day Defeated. rSPECIAI. TZXEOBAX TO THE DISPATCn.1 Haekisbueg, Feb. 18. The House bill tto prevent the furnishing of intoxicating drinks on Decoration Day by sale, gift or otherwise was knocked out to-night by a vote of 07 to 04, because of tl.e gift feature, which Eprc scntative Fow showed was on a pjr with the unconstitutional provision in 'the Brooks law, to prohibit a man in his own 'bouse from giving a drink of liquor to a friend. The-Senate bill prohibiting the sale of in-i toxicating liquors on Memorial Day will doubtless meet a similar fate, because cities of the first and second class have been ex cepted from its operations. APPORTIONMENT BILLS. THEEE OF THEM INTRODUCED INTO THE HOUSE FOE ACTION. Copies of the Bills of Four Tears Ago TJsod rrobability of the Governor Using Ills Veto Vcn on Them No Extra Session to Be Called. rSPECIAL TELEGEAK TO TUB DISPATCH.! Haeeisbueg, Feb. 18. By previous ar rangement three bills were introduced in the House to-night relative to the apportion ment of the State into Congressional, Sena torial and Representative districts. This action was simply to give apportionment a start, the arrangement of districts having no significance. Copies of the bills of four years ago were used by Lyttle, of Huntingdon; Tacgart, of Mont gomery, and Towle, of Forest, who read in place the several measures. Tbe Appor tionment Committee will soon be struggling with them, and a sufficient partisanship will likely be injected into them to induce the Governor to disapprove them. In the event of no Congretsional appor tionment oassing under the National appor tionment legislation, two Congressmen would have to be chosen at large and 28 by district as now. In no event is it thought the Governor will call an extra session to have apportionment laws passed, in view oi the fruitless extra session during Governor Pattison's first term. He then supposed the Legislature would perform its constitutional duty in a few weeks, but it not only failed to pass Con gressional apportionment legislation, but frittered away nearly six months and ad journed without enacting it. Then the Legislators received $10 a day, but under the present law they would receive ?500 a session, without regard to its length. BILLS IN HOUSE AND SENATE.

The Committee of Ways and Means will hold two meetings to-morrow to give the corporations a full op portunity to point out the objectionable features in the Grangers' equalization tax bill. The Pennsylvania, Philadelphia and Valley Railroad Companies are expected to be represented at the hearing. The Grangers have had their day before the committee, but they are keeping on sending petitions to Senators and members of the House in favor of the measure. Nearly all those presented in both branches of the Legislature to-night had reference to this bill. Senator Meek, of Center, presented 16, from as many Grangers, and nearly all the Senators from the country districts were loaded with them. TAXES OF V0TEES. Member Johnson to explain His Bill on That Subject. ItrECIAL TELEGBAJI TO THE DISPATCH. 1 Haeeisbueg, Feb. 18. Bepresentative Johnson, of Wilkesbarre, will to-morrow appear before the House Judiciary Commit tee to explain his bill, which seeks to pre vent any person but those personally inter ested to pay for their naturalization papers or their taxes. Mr. Johnson m3y be obliged, in order to give the bill a chance of passage, to amend it so as to confine it to the piyment of naturalization papers, Bepresentative Leeds, of Philadelphia, having informed the mem ber from Wilkesbarre that the Republicans of Philadelphia would suffer greatly if the power were taken from committees to pay the taxes ot voters. BETTEB CAPITOL BUILDINGS. A noose Committee Appointed to Book After the Matter. tSPECIAL TELEGBAJI TO TnE DI6PATCH.I Haekisbueg, Feb. 18.

Special To JLet Hats This Morning. m WORKED UP. They Indignantly Deny That Strikers Fired the Moyer Mine. THE FIRE IS STILL UXQUENCHED. The Kamher of the Hen Imprisoned In the Shalt is Still Unknown. A THE0KT OP THE DISASTER'S CAUSE reFZCIALTXXEQBAXTO THE DISPATCn.I . Scottdale, Feb. 18. The fire in the Moyer shaft, at last reports, was still burn ing, but the company's officials are hopeful that the flames will soon be quenched. The whole mine has been flooded, and it is be lieved that the fire is under control. It is feared, however, that the fire is smoulder ing and will break out again in all its fury. The fate of the three or four miners who are imprisoned is still a profound mystery. Many of their friends still maintain the idea that they are still alive if they have reached anything like a safe place. They agree that Yugowogne, who is the oldest of the three imprisoned men, is thoroughly conveisant with the mine, and in an emerg ency, would be cool and make a desperate effort to escape. Others ridicule this idea, and have abandoned all hopes for the en tombed men. The workmen have been im prisoned for four long days and nights.'and it does not seem possible that they can survive. Origin and Number of Lost Unknown. Tho number of the dead is still in doubt. Two Huns, who bavo been missing smco the disaster, turned up to-day safe and sound. They were thought to have been in tbe mine at tbe time the fire broko out. Tho life of every person who enters the shaft U imperiled, as the deadly fire-damp is understood to be auite prevalent. The exact oriem of the fire'uobody seems to know. It may have been caused by tho igni tion of some waste material, or by tbe explo sion of tbe naked lamp in the bands of ihe machinist. This the latter denies, bowever. by saying thero was no explosion. The Coroner's inquest, which will he held as soon as some of the bodies are recovered, is expected to derelop the cause. The miners' organization is already making preparations for the Coroner's hearing. They will bo represented by the shrewdest members of their order, and are dctermiaed to secure a fair and impartial hearing. This announcement caused widespread com ment to-nizht, as Operator Raincy and tho Knights of Labor are at present engaged in a bitter fight over the strike. Kainey has Pink erton detectives to guard the plant from labor agitators. The inquest u ill be quite exciting unless all signs ltil. The passions of the striking cokers and miners hive been thor oughly stirred up by the charge that they fired the shaft. IIio Industrial Effect of tho Fire. Secretary John DeHaen said this evening: "Tbe W. J. llainey Company should not be too quick to make groundless charges against our men. They have gone to that already. Wliilo I do noc know positively what caused the fire, I would stake my life that it was not tbe work of any of the strikers. It is a base charge. All this talk abont Machinest Leech being a mem ber of our organization is bosh." Leech is tbe man who is said to have acted suspiciously since tbe occurrence of the accident. Tho fan vv Inch is being erected in tne slope to change the air current, is almost finished. As soon as tho tire is extinguished, tbe work of cleannc tho wreckage and the search for tho dead or imprisoned men will begin. While the plant may be idle for several days, yet tno loss will not be to heavv as at first expected. The men known to have been lost isitcd the shaft to blow some coal dowu for Monday morning's work. They used rock powder and it is stated that tho shaft may havo been fired in that manner.
