WW LIYES OF MINERS

FEATURES TO RE CONSIDERED..
froof of the Tresence of Oil and Gas in
the Coal Tits.
TESTS OF THE VARIOUS SAFETY LAMPS
The "Western Pennsylvania Central Min
ing Institute began a two days' session in
the Sheriff's salesroom ot the Court House
yesterday, President Hugh McMurry in
the chair, and Secretary "William Seddon
on hand, as usual. The morning session
was devoted to the discussion of '"The Dif
ference Between Shaft and Drift Mining
in the Bituminous Kegion." The subject
was exhaustively handled, and on the whole
the members inclined to the shaft.
At the opening of the afternoon session
Mine Inspector Thomas K. Adams, of
Mercer county, read a paper relating to the
passage of a concurrent resolution at the
last session of the Legislature, creating a
commission to revise the act relating
to the mining of bituminous coal.
He said the average citizen looked upon
such work as a useless expenditure of
money, but he said experience had shown
that the average legislator was incompetent
to frame the necessary safeguards to protect
a very dangerous occupation. Pennsylva
nia is not alone in such legislation, as Eng
land, France, Belgium and Germany had it
long ago, having scientific mining engi
neers assist their lawmakers. He said it
was important that the commissioners be
selected from the best talent of the State or
their work may not only be very burden
some to the taxpayers, but of no benefit to
the industry they are appointed to 6erve.
No Unwieldy Body "Wanted.
He urged that the commission should not
be composed of more than five, or at most
seven mej, as a small number are not only
easier paid, but more likely to do good
work. The most efficient work of this kind
ever done in this State was that by the
commission of 1874, which was composed of
hut three members John O'Ifeil, coal
operator: Augustus Steiner and John Arch
ibald, miners. Mr. Adams rehearsed the
struggle to get the legislation and
the beneficence of the law of
38, though some of the best parts of what
the commission reported they were forced to
abandon in order to secure any relief
Little or nothing was accomplished by the
large commission appointed in 16S5, which
was composed of 23 men He showed the
necessity of revision of the legislation of
ISTy. owing to the growth of the industry.
In 1879 342 bituminous coal mines were
operated employing 21,000 persons and
the output 15,000,000 tons. Last
year G43 mines were operated,
54,ti90 persons employed and output
4(1896,913 tons, not including the 12,630 out
ide employes; a net increase in tonnage of
172 per cent in mines, S8$ per cent outside,
and 163 per cent inside increase in em
ployee Fatal accidents in 1879 were 51 and
in 1S90 13L He avked if this statement did
not prove that additional legislative safe
guards were needed.
Mr. Adams scarcastically and in a caustic
manner reviewed the work of the last Legis
lature on this head, not forgetting to pay
his lespects to some professional labor
leader representatives in that body. In
conclnsiou, he urged that the Institute use
its utmost endesvors to have created a
National Mining Commission, with power
to effect the reform wanted.
A Test of Safety Lampf,
The reading was followed by tests of Grey,
Gler.nie. Davy, Musler and "Nelson safety
lamps. Mr. Nelson claimed for his lamp
that it showed the presence of one-half of 1
per cent of gas in a mine, as proven by a
test in a mine at Johnstown when the Shaw
indicator showed that to be the percentage
of gas in the mine. The matter was dis
cussed by Messrs. Adams, Blick, Steiner,
Duncan. Evans, of Johnstown, and Secre
tarv Sedden.
Mr. Blick held that the Davy lamp was
more sensitive than any other he had
ever tested, and with him several
agreed. It was held by them that the only
real difference in the lamps was in con
struction and that some showed gas without
heing pushed up into it as far as the Davy,
because combustion was furnished froma
higher plane and that fact made all the
difference; that otherwise the principle of
combustion was the same. No vote was
tak"n on the subject.
The subject of danger arising from drill
ing oil anil gas wells through coal mines
was discussed during the remainder of the
session, and Mr. Blick was first called on as
his district embraces the McDonald oil field.
Oil in the 3Uns.
Mr. Blick stated that he had found in
some mines oil in a considerable quantity
on the floors of pits, notwithstanding the
testimony of experts before the courts that
oil w ells were hermetically closed so that
neither oil nor gas could penetrate the
mines.
He would not say positively that there
was danger, but would not be astonished at
the reception of a telegram at any time tell
ing of the killing of 100 or 150 men in those
mines. He was inclined to think that the
temperature of coal pits might cause an
evaporation ol gas from the oil
that would be almost certain
to take fire. He would not
undertake to sa whether the oil came from
the wells at the i.oint of contact with the
mines, as the who; country was saturated
w iih oil, and it might come irpm the sur
face. He knew it was in the mines in con
siderable quantity. He strongly urged im
mediate action. He would not reflect on
the courts, but thought Harrisburg should
know of the situation.
Not Iepemlin on tho Legislature.
Inspector Evans, of Johnstown, sug
gested that it would be a long time ere
relief could be had from Harrisburg. Mr.
Evans was confident that the danger was
imminent, as he nad known sas to be gener
ated irom renneu petroleum.
Messrs. McMurry and Dearmit spoke in
a similar view and Duncan was caustic in
his strictures on experts who testified that
oil and gas wells weie hermetically sealed
rt the point where they passed through
coal mines.
The upshot of the matter yesterday was
the appointment of a committee ot five to
express the sense of the institute, and
Messrs. Thomas K. Adams, James Blict,
August Steiner, AVm. Duncan and Secre
tary Sodden were charged with the duty
and they will report action to-day.

-all-wool double-breasted Suits. These are merely a suggestion
