Sotnet hinir OiiieernlnK the oriKin and
history of the Xavc-riau order is of
lit . little Interest :
The conKreijatlon of the Xaverian
brothers Is of recent origin. It was
I'liunded at ISrilRes, Helnliini. In 1S8!l, by
Theodore .laiivs Uyken. who, In his
oariy life, visited the t'niled Slates for
the purpose of devotins himself to the
c.nveision of the Indians, but he con
sidered that the Christian education of
oiuh w as the most important factor in
tile young Hie of the nation, and i;ave
himself uii to tlie arduous labor of
fi itimlint;' a omtree,alion of teachers,
whose Meld of labor should be co
extensive with civilization. AceordliiK
l in 1S2S. he laid Ills plans before
lilshop Hosali. then kuvciiiIiih: the dio
cese of St. bonis, and received that pre
late's hearty approval. Other bishops
wore in turn consulted, and approval
and eiiuourasement were extended on
every bund.
The next step was to draft rules nnd a
constitution for the yoiiiin eoiiKreuatiou
and submit them to Itome for examina
tion unci approval. I'ope ilrenory XVI.
Kiivo his sanction to the work, and
placed the younR conreKalion under
the protection of Moiisiuuor Houssen,
the then bishop of lirtiRes. in KcIkIuui.
Hy the authority thus delegated to him,
Monslsnor Houssen formally established
the new society under the title of the
Xaverian Hi-others, on June e, lO.
Hence it was that a body of mission
aries destined for the fnlted Slates had
Its nursery In the ancient city of
Hrimes.
T'nPXDKD IN 1S3H.
Although the society was founded in
1s:;'.l, it was not until IM3 that the
I'.rothers were allowed to wear a re
ligious habit or receive reunions names.
As the patron chosen by the new so
cietv was St. Francis Xavler. the apos
tle of the Indies and Janan. it was de
ided that their relieious habit should
resemble that worn b.lilm during his
missionary labors irXthese countries.
The next step was "ho admission of
home of the members to the religious
vows: and accordingly on Oct. 22. lSlti.
the founder and twelve companions
were permitted to pronounce Iho three
Pimple vows of poverty, i hnstity and
obedience, which one year later were
solemnly renewed for life.
Immediately alter the tnkin:,' of the
vow th'' I'.rotiiers opened a small school
in Hi-imos under the title of St. Xavier's

INSPECTORS' REPORT
ON THE TWIN SHAFT.
General Outline of Its Contents Has
Been Made Public.
INSPECTOR M'DONALD BLAMELESS.
lie Could Mot lie Expcclod lo Kuotv
of the Squeeze, Says the Report"
Superintendent I.uuuan i Cen
sured for Risking His Own and Iho
Men's Live--Oiierators Cniinot be
Held Kepouible.
The substance of the report of the
three mine Inspectors, Roderick; Stein
and Brennan, on the Twin shaft catas
trophe has been published by the
Wilkes-JJarre Itecord. Officially the
report w ill not be made public until the
middle of the present month. The Re
cord article Is, in part, as follows:
Jn the absence of proof that the oper
ators knew of the exact condition of
the rpJr.e during the squeeze the re
Kponsiblity could not be placed upon
them, however culpable they may havo
been in allowing pillars or RanRwnys to
be too small and Irregular. Onerators
entrust the mine to their employes, and
they -a ret responsible for Its safety tlur
lnR such sudden emcTRenctes.
Tho report will come to the conclusion
that Superintendent Langan, unfortun
ately one of the men entombed, erred
In judgment in nllowlnff the men to
work In the midst of the sntieeze on
that fatal Sunday morning. He prob
ably thought it was only a Inert 1 squeeze
and underestimated the danger, but In
stead It Involved, acres upon aetvs.
Again the report will say that even
though there were no squeeze it was
not safe to work in the mine on ac
count of tlra dangerous bodies of gas
that suddenly appeared. Tho mine law
says u superintendent has lull charge
of the mine and he Is the only olio sup
posed lo be familiar with the details
of tho workings.
COMPANY'S RES P( ) X S I I L IT Y.
Whatever contributory negligence
there was on the part of the company
will be summed up hi a general way
and will have reference to the small
ness of the pllltr.-s and width of cham
bers and gangways in certain parts
of the mine, but these will not be ad
vanced its direct causes of this im
mense soiieeze. The ennditlun of the
strata and the wet wc-tther will In all
probability be held mainly, responsible
for that, iJefeets In the strata can
not always be ascertained and even
where pillars are U-ft to the legal meas
urements such defects may cause dis
aster. The report will net censure Mine In
spector McDonald. The report will argue
that us Mr. .McDonald had over half
a hundred collieries and openings to
look arter he could not be supposed to
vlst the mine every week or two. The
Inspector was ignorant of the squeeze.
This part or the report Is of vast inter
est to thousands of minors as nmnv
suppose.l right aluntr that Inspector
.McOonal would be strongly censured
ir not removed from tho olllce notwithstanding-
the fact .thai he know noth
Inir about the squeeze. Th.-y bused
their opinions upon the conclusion t)ut
an inspector is supposed to know all
about the mines at all times however
mauy ho 1ms to took after In his dis
trict. The points of the report so far mav
he summed no as follows: 1. liesorlp
lion of the mine and its pillars, cham
bers and gangways: theory of the de
fect in tho strata by dislocation. "
I he superintendent erred in Judgment
In allowing the muii to go down with
such a dangerous squeeze in progress
and with such a sudden appenrance of
gas. 3. The operators caiinol bo held
responsible for the presence of the men
there at that time. 4. Mine Inspector
McDonald cannot be held responsible
because he was not informed of tho
seriousness of the squeeze.
MORE INSPECTORS NKKDKD.
One recommendation the report will
make will bo that either the number of
inspectors be Increased or that there bo
assistants. There are now only eight
inspectors In the entire unthracite dis
trict with Its hundreds of mines and
breakers, some of them being in charge
of ns high as sixty mines. With such
a list the inspector cannot properly do
his duty. In order to examine a mine
with reasonable thoroughness an In
spector should spend a day In It. Xow
if he has sixtv mines in his district he
would have to spend every day In the
year in the mines, counting Sundays
and holidays. In order to examine
them once a month, not counting tin
examination of the breakers. This
would leave him no time for attending
inquests, making out his reports or devoting-
more attenlionjo a particular
mine whole conditions require it. And
yet mines are so Intricate and ever
chancing that monthly visits should
be made. Then as the years go on and
tho mint's becomes deeper and more ex
tensive the work of the Inspector and
the responslhilly devolving upon him
Increases and nearly all of the Inspec
tors tind themselves unable to cope
with their duties.
The second recommendation or rather
suggestion to bo made will bo that op
orators confer with the mine inspectors
with reference to the manner of work
ing the mines. If an operator has a
new Idea ubotit driving tunnels, gang
ays, slopes or removing pillars, etc..
the lnsiec4or should lie made acqatnt
ed with so tnat he may cither apirove I
or condemn it. At present an opera- j
tor may order a certain method of min
ing, which may result in a danpe rous
condition! of the mine, without the
knowledge of the inspector.
Another recommendation will Imp that
the working of the mine should be from
the foot to the head instead of from the
head to the foot. Drive your gangway
from the shaft into the coal and then
start to work from the far end of the
gangway towards the shaft. The com
mission of inveMlRation will Insist that
this recommendation be embodied Into
a law. At present many mines are
worked in every direction from tho
shaft, and the farther the miners go
the greater the daiiRer becomes. A case
In point is the Twin mine, at which the
disaster occurred. These worklnc
were driven In from the foot of the
shaft, and when the squeeze came the
foot of the mine nearest the shaft was
all worked out and in the most danger
ous condition.
. MIXERS IN A TRAP.
The men were Inside nnd were caught
In a trap. - If the mine had been winked
from the Inside toward the foot of ithe
shaft, and the mined out workings- had
shown signs of collansiiiR the main
gangway towards the shaft would have
remained intact and the men might
have found a secure passageway to
safety. The report will deplore the
fact that a law such as will be recom.
mended has not been tmssed before. ,
Another Imimrtnnt recommendation
for the legislature will be with refer
ence to Pillars. The report will prob
ably recommend that what aw known
as barrier pillars be left In the mines
and will sneeil'v the conditions under
which these are to be left. It will be
Impossible to recommend a certain size
of Pillars fur all mines under all con
ditons. In n general wny Mine Inspector Rod
erick spoke to the Itecord reporter
about the disaster. Said he:
"A heavy squeeze was going fn, a fall
was liable to take place nt any mo
ment, and no one should have been in
th midst of the affected area until the
squeezing had stopped or the fall had
come."
