COUNCIL DID NOT MEET.
INTENDED TO CONSIDER RIP
PER AMENDMENTS.
Mr. Keller Had a Resolution He In
tended to Introduce Opposing
the Ripper Clause.
A meeting of the common council
was called for last night to consider
the amendments to the "ripper" bill,
which have been prepared by tho coun
cllmanlc legislative committee, and
such a meeting would have been held
had not Messrs. Alworth. Palno and
'McDonald picked up their hats and
stolen out Into the hall Just as Clerk
Lynott began to call the roll.
On account of tho sudden leaving of
these three gentlemen, there was no
quorum and the members who re
mained were obliged to adjourn. Mr.
Keller,. who Is a member of the com
mittee, was a little late In getting to
the meeting. This may have prompted
the three members above mentioned
to break tho quorum, but bo that as
It may they made no effort to enter
the council chamber again when Mr.
Keller arrived, which was Just as tho
roll was half called.
Mr. Keller was prepared to spring a
llttlo sensation In case tho meeting was
held and he was a little bit disap
pointed that It was not. He had In
his Inside pocket a resolution which,
If passed, would have placed the coun
cil on record as opposed to the "rip
per" bill.
This resolution after going on to dis
claim that the Idea of legislating duly
elected city otllclats out of ofllce was
opposed to tho fundamental principles
of government by the people, etc., de
clared that the common council was
opposed to the "ripper" bill In its en
tirety, but most especially to the
schedule which contains tho rlpp.-r
clause itself.
"That resolution," said Mr. Keller,
"embodies my personal views about
this Upper business nnd I think the
views of every right thinking man In
this city today. The ripper feature of
the new bill Is entirely wrong and I
haven't found one mari yet who could
give me one good argument In favor
of it."

Hy a terrllli! explosion, believed by

one man was killed and three others
Injured In the Clark vein of tho Cayuga

Cayuga jtrsct.
The explosion Is believed to have
been duo to tho filing of a body of gas
which had accumulated In an obi
chamber whlcli Maehloto foimeily
worked, and Into which he had gone
with his naked lamp on his cap to look
for some car numbers which he had
left theie when he tvent Into the new
chamber. His laborer, Gelnsowlcz, was
a stranger to the mine, this being his
fli st day there, and he lemalned In tho
working by himself while Muchinte
was after the numbers.
TORN' AND BUR.VKD.
Suddenly a blinding fla.sh of lire
bui st past him nnd a concussion which
throw him upon tho ground followed.
Ho was burned nnd bruised, and
though painfully Injured he was not
rendered unconscious, and calmly
awaited the coming of help. Mnehloto
was tho explosion's fated victim. He
was tossed and torn by Its fiulous
force; his body mangled, burned and
blackened, and when found some two
hours later was scarcely recognizable.
Down the main roadway when tho
explosion occurred, yet some distance
away, were Haggerty anil Corsey, the
runners, who were bringing In honio
cars for use In Machloto's chamber.
They wero caught by the outer edge
of the explosion's forco and wcie only
slightly burned. Their greater injuties
were tho brulf.es sustained in being
hurled down by the heavy concussion
which ensued. They -wore the llrst
brought out of the mine, and after
getting attention at the weigh office
were able to walk to thulr homes, with
tho assistance of fellow-workers.
The point whore the disaster oc
curred is fully a mile from the foot
of the shaft In a noitherly direction
toward tho Storr's mine at Prlceburg,
and was but a short distance from tho
workings of the bitter mine. It was
beneath that :art of the First ward
known as the "bush." and nearlv six
hundred feet below the surface. That
part of the Cayuga's workings Is Just
being extended and but few niun are
working there.
FKLT ON THi: SURFACK.
When tho explosion occurred tho
shock was felt upon the surface quite
visibly, and at once great alarm wus
occasioned. Its force was also felt to
some extent at the foot of the shaft.
Somehow the word got abroad that a
terrible disaster had occurred and that
nnywhere from twenty to thirty had
been killed and a great many Injured.
Naturally such reports excited the
people, mid theie was a largo throng
gathered about the Cayuga breaker
eager for news.
Tho assembling of uiliia ambulances
and the calling of physicians also add
ed to the alarm. After somo time the
word came out that seven or eight
wero injuied and one missing, and
the anxiety which was nrevlonsiv mm.
pant wns now greatly assuaged, yet
many weie distressed nud eager to
learn who tha victims of the accident
were.
Meanwhile the mine oillclals were not
negligent of tho duties devolving on
them. District Superintendent Phillips
came to tho mine shortly after the ac
cident. Ho at once-, In view of tho pos
sibility of a serious calamity from the
reported force of the explosion, sum
moned a number of foremen and Hie
bosses from other.s of the company's
mines, and prepared to go down and
investigate the extent of tho accident
and rescue 'the men who had boon
its victims. In this woik he was as
sisted by Inside Foi email Harry d.
Davis, of the Cayuga; Insido Fore
man Samuel Lewis, of the Storr's, and
other.s.

idea of agreeing upon ccitaiu definite

on the measuio befoie the committee
will not be until tomorrow uflciuoon.
Theie are membcia on the committee
who are opposed to the "ripper" clause
as a matter of pilnclplo, but who bo
lievo that it would be unwise under ex

tho members, who didn't want to lie
quoted, said yesterday to a Tribune

"It's simply a question as to which

It wants to get legislation favorable to

Select Councilman John i:. Roche,
who Is a member of the couucilmanlc
committee, when asked for a state
ment last night, as to what tho com

claupe ot the bill, said:
"The lommlttee goes down to Har

we get the lay of the land. If we find
when wo reach there that the Quayltes

"If, on the other hand, we discover
that the 'ilpper' clause Js going to bo

Wo want to get our amendments pass
ed nnd If we have to take tho 'ripper'
clause for the good of our health, In

Tliete were no hearings In the court
ultmnnli' bribery cases ycstciday tit
le! noon, as planned, on account of
the lllnes" of Attorney Jo'eph O'lirlen,
ot rounel for tho defense, and be
cause the Municipal League failed to
round up several witnesses for whom
subpoenas had been limied.
K, 1!. Sturtres stated to a Tilbuna
man yesteiday afternoon that there
would ptobably be no more hearings
for some little time yot, or until It Is
an off week In court. Ho said that the
league was desirous of devoting a
half or n whole day In tho near fu
ture to a tlnal hearing In the casj.s
now pending, so as to prevent the
pioeeedlngs fiom drasclng out
long.
"It might be Inferred," said he,
"from one of the evening paper ie
port.s on the continuance of the bri
bery cases against C. W. McKinney
and E. J. Mnloney, that the league
was going to settle with these men,
so as to prevent the cayes from over
being tried. If such an Impression has
gone abroad, I desire to correct It.
NO INT12NTION TO SKTTLK.
"The league has no intention, what
ever, of Fettling cither thee cases or
any othois which we now have pend
ing. We simply agreed to a continu
ant o because of the Illness of Mr.
O'UiIen, who assured us that ho was
pnyslcally unable to try the case.
Hven if he hail not been sick, we
would probably have agtced to a con
tinuance In Mr. McKlnncy's case, on
account of the serious Illness ot his
wife. We are not biutes.
"Tho league has mi Interest In the
Muloncy rape, even though he wns
indicted as th direct reMill of an ln
voUlKiitlon conducted by the grand
Juiy. Tho men who wcie behind tho
movement got rather dl-sheai toned and
came to us for assistant". We took
tne matter up, and I believe have ob
tained some very good evidence
against the defendant.
"Personally I am In favor of having
our cases pushed to tilal as quickly
as possible, for the icason that I de
sire to exetclso my powers as Jury
commissioner before my term Is halt
ovci. 1'nder piesent conditions, I take
tho position that I cannot conscien
tiously put any names In the Jury
wheel until the Municipal League
cases now on the list aie disposed
of.
"I might Imvo the legal rluhl to do
tliif. but I have determined not to
exerelse It. so that you see It would
not be iny wish to lime these c.a.'os
put olf unless when absolutely neees
rary." THE HATTON CASE.
The leportcr naked If thero was any
truth In the statement that Mayor's
Clerk II. C. Hatton was to be ar
rested on the charge of perjury.
"Every man who has committed
perjury." said he, with a smile, "every
man who has gone on the stand and
solemnly sworn that he had no knowl
edge of transactions which wc know
ho did have a. knowledge about, will
bo ariested und the cases against
them pushed to tho end. I am not
prepared to say just now, whether Mr.
llntton perjured himself or not."
