The Avondale Calamity.
, The Scranton Republican comments
pon the testimony taken at the coroner's
.0).
tquest as follows :
The intense interest felt in the Avon
ale disaster will not be lessened by read
ig the reports of the evidence elicited
store Coroner Wadham's jury at
'lymouth on Saturday. The theory of
se fire, which has--gradually been re
sived —namely, that 'the- work of the
salt was ignited by the heat of the yen
lating turnace--is scouted by every ex.
erienced , miner who was examined.
'here was no difference of opinion on the
mat, while the working Of a mine with
ut one opening and the building of trie
reaker over the mouth of tue shaft were
enerally condemned.
Aii , me witnesses whose opinions on
be point were ot any value were unani
lons in considering the -furnace entirely
afe. The opinion that the fire was not
aused by the farnace'in the mine is sup.
orted not only by ' the experience and
udgment of experts, but by positive evi
ence or a well-nigh conclusive character.
:Lib is found in Atte present condition of
tie brettice, or wooden partition which
ivied the' shaft to a hoisting-way and
in air-way, or an upcast and downcast.
?his brettice is disco.ored at the top, and
tot at the bottom, except a few feet which
vas ignited by the burning debris and
•shes which fell to the bottom of the
haft when the breaker building was con
umed.
The brettice was the only material
vhich could have carried the tire from the
tottom tithe top of the shaft, if the fire
'tad been communicated to the brettice at
he bottom, as it would have been had the
• urnace communicated it. It is impossi
'iale to believe that a portion of the bret
ice, beginning at a pant only twenty
feet from the bottom, and extending
:hence upward for, one hundred and thirty
`set, could have remained unburned as it
sow remains. What could have extin
;uished the flames twenty feet from the
bottom and rekindled them one hundred
ind thirty or one hundred and forty feet
aigher up? The thing is inconceivable.
Not one of the witnesses could assign as
reason for the origin of the fire any cause
onnected with the working of the mine.
' &lost of them thought it expedient not to
.: - 7.ttempt any explanation at all, and only
~ane of the hundreds.to give positive ex
' l-'pression to the horrible suspicion that
."svidently lurked in the minds of all.
l';'Pne witness on his oath said he believed
• ' , Jae mine was intentionally fired. .
;. i
I Let us not attempt further to excite the
.• : -Aorr . or watch the mere ;suspicion of
.• :.uca an enormity at once arouses, but
bxamine for a moment the facilities for
... - .mcendiarism afforded by the . peculiar
:situation. George Morgan swore that he
.';believed the fire began at the mouth of
the tunnel, or a little below it. The tun
nel reterred to affords the-best possible
toyer for incendiary operations. Begin.
ming under the lower side of the breaker,
it ran under that building and opened into
:theihrifc at a point atienit forty feet below
The surface. The part of the shaft ,into
!which it opened was not the hoisting way,
:which was continually traversed by the
carriage, frequently with men aboard,
- and in which any suspicions appearance
. !would almost Certainly have been no
;deed. The tunnel opened into the air
. shaft, or upcast, by a WoOden door. This
Ipoint in the air shaft, forty feet beneath
-the surface, was , perfectly screened from
-
.!observation. It was up cue air shaft that
Atte fire came, and it camel with the speed
' .and force of an explosion, bursting into
;the engine house, as the engineer swore,
- !with the puff of an explosion of loose
powder. l
- This_explosive character of the- flame
"iis partly accounted for br the strength of
:the draft in the air shaft; but the use of
:the quantity of highly in . ammable mate
,rials at the mouth of •e tunnel would
!have tended to produce p ecisely the same
effect. What is more ea • than to enter
the tunnel, say at dayb eak, charge its
mouth and the brettice .pposite with a
quantity of kerosene or .they inflamma
ble material, lay a slow use connecting
with it, lightine fuse, e cape unnoticed.
;and be Mies away befor: the catastrophe
came? The fuse and a .. agazine would
b most effectually con . ealed while the
former was burning. is a dreadful
'thing to feel compelled t•', advocate such
a theory; but is any othe 'possible? Can
it be coneeived.that such a-conflagration,
. 'if occurring , from any' : ccidental cause,
or at the bottom of the 8 I aft, could have
escaped the notice of me , passing up and
down the shaft only fiftee . minutes before
' the flames burst from its .. outh? Was not
' theinonth of the tunnel the only- point
opposite the burned part i f the brettice at
'. .. which fire could have . -en communi
,: celled? Was it not impos ible for any fire
to accidentally come from the tunnel? In
'.. • _ brae; is, not the theory • f incendiarism
possible, and all others im.ossible?
In reaching this concl sion we need
.. ' not take into account the reports about
, - traces of 'kerosene at th - mouth of the
tunner.' ' It`will be time e . ough to 'con
sider
-• ; these when they hay • been elicited
• , on oath in open court. .f. evidences of
' . the most heart-sickening Tine on record
are' fir `stronger dam we could desire
them to be already.

Tee Pernicious influence of Siren's
Poetry. 1
We like the tone of this extract from's
I recent,letter by James ) Par 'xi defending
lira; H. B. Stowe. He sa s with great
force : Norio it tru as e have fie
,
quently been informed
of , te, that By
Et influence in the world is a thing of
the past, 'lMlcept Shakespe re,' no poet
who is not living Bella so ' y copies
per annum in" the United Shit s as Byron.
Sbaliespeaxe, Byron. and Scot are chief
,
among the 'staple'? poets o the book
'trade. But Byron is morethan poet to
the young men of this generatio —he is
au influence.A. His po er to do evil is
such that, any _ wie w o can--justly and
!Iproperiplicainistrhii: re stage renders a
service VI morality.
.i.e..t alibiing this;. vi 'w of the subject
t i
home to:ourselves: , A veteran journalist
lof ake..city of New Yo k is accustomed
ter.sity .that he Calif co - t twentv-three
young men connected With the Press or
with litetatdie; the thret.cities of New
York, Boston and ailadelphia, who, du.-
rink the'liat fifteen yeaii, have destroy
ed themselves by the nasty vices, I
mightetay; tribe .;:kir realm - vices.. l From
the many I myself have known of, I
shotild suppose that is within the truth
ity`putting the number of these lamentable
suicides at twenty.three. These young
men, gifted, promising, many of them
capable of great and beneficial careers,
have all ignotfiy perished in the prime of
their youth in; consequence of an error.
They thought pretty verses and striking
artibles and excuse for vicious excess. Of
ties sect, Byron is the apostle. He fur
nished these unhappy : men with an ex
ample and excuse; at' they thought they
cOuld do with impunity, or with the ap.
planse of the World, what Byron did, effect
ing to despise those who warned them of
the consequences of their as" By
' affected to despise the decent p ortion of
the literary class of his tima- I. supp ose
that no man ever lived who had so much
power to make vice seem becoming and
graceful; because his genius was essen
tially histrionic, and he had such fearful
reasons for assuming a mask. We meet
his baleful influe.ice wheraver we min
igle with educated youth. Professors in
colleges,conductors of newspapers, col
onels o regiments and many others
know how general is the feeling among
young men, that to comply with the fun
damental conditions of human welfare,
is to act the part of a fogy, and that to
trample upon these conditions or set them
at naught, is to be a dashing,
metropolitan sort of person. By-
Ton may b called the founder
,of - the school, both 'of literature
and journalism, the main end and aim of
which is to make vice attractive and vir
tue ridiculous. We cannot be grateful
enough to Mrs. Stowe for tearing off the
mask from the most histrionic of writers—
the writer of all others who had most need
to be histrionic, became he had the most
to hide. Not hat incest, - was the worst
of his offences. Moore relates worse
things of Byron than Mrs. Stowe has re
vealed. Compared with his beastly life
in Venice, where he spent his wife's for
tune upon the lower grades of harlots, his
incest soars to the rank of a virtuous at
tachment. The value of Mrs. Stowe's ar
ticle chiefly consists in the insight it af
fords into the infinite difference between
Byron on exhibition, and Byron as
he was. lam glad to havetone more rea
son for detesting him. CeTfain as I ever
was that Byron's poetry was pervaded
'with the spirit of affectation, I am glad to
have such indubitable assurance of the
fact, and to know the precise virtue of
the truth which it was the business of his
life to conceal. It has been said that
Mrs. Stowe should have withheld this
revelation out of regard to the descen
dants of the guilty parties. Then we
should forbear to discourse upon the
faults of George 111. because Queen Vic
toria is his granddaughter, and never say
anything about Lora Bacon's corruptions
lest we may wound the feelings of some
members of his family who may still sur
vive. Benedict Arnold has highly res
pectable descendants, but historians tell
the tale o'f his treason still. We are not
responsible for the sins of our grand
fathers, nor can we be really dishonored
by them. If this objection were sound,
there could be no biography.
OIL REGION ITEXS.
Mrs. Purcell, one of the sufferers by
the kerosene explosion at Titusville, last
week, is not dead, - 144eported, but is in
a fair way of recovery.
A NEW ten-barrel well was struck on
the Hart tract, Cherrytree run, last week.
Mr. James Perkins is the owner. Also
one in Wild Cat Hollow, near Petroleum
Center, by Mr. H. Derouse.
ARICOLD & PEtrikam's new well on
Kane run was to be tested on Wednes
day. This well, extending but a few feet
in the oil bearing sand rock, bas flowed
so strongly at times as to compel the
drillers to cease work, and the engine
house has been burned twice by the oil
taking fire. Considerable interest is
manifested in this well, as the result will
have an important bearing on the value
of the territory north of present prods
cinglarms.

Last Momeitts or secretary Ra 5911126
Shortly before his death, the Secretary
opened his eyes and noticing Pos. Mas
ter General Creswell at his bedside,
sig
nified a wish to speak to him. The latter
drew closer and asked :
"General, have you anything you wish
to say to me ?"
Making a feeble effort to raise himself,
he replied, "Yea, I have something to
say to you. I have not long to live. My
days are fast passing away, but ratty God
spare me to see the President. Give my
love to the President. Tell him how I
wished to see'him. tI have always tried
to serve him faithfully. Tell him to go on
in the adminiitration as he has begun.
Give my love to the Ministers of the Cab
inet. Tell each of them how I love them for
their integrity, for their virtue, for their
earnestness in their duty. Tell them how
I honor them all." Here General Raw
lins made some effort to change hts po
sition.
Mr. Creswell said: "General, do you
feel easy ? "
General Rawlins—l am comfortable,
but something troubles me.
Mr. Creswell—ls it the future .com
fort and protection of your family ? •
General Rawlins—Yes, that grives me.
I ant poor in the world's' goods. I have
nothing to leave them to guard them
atainst wart. Could I survive, 'I could
take care of them, but who will take bare
of them when I am gone ?
Mr. Creswell—Do not grieve yourself
about your family. They will be kindly
cared for. They will be cared for by the
nation.

PITTSBURGH GAZETTE.; SEPTEMBER 16, 1869.
SCHE.NCRPS PULAIIONIC
SYR!, P, SEAWEED ' TONIC .AND
MANDRAKE PILLS , will cure Consumption,
Liver Complaint and Dyspepsia, if taken accord
lug to directions. They are all three to be taken
at the sometime. They cleanse the stomach, re
lax tne llvor and put irto work; then the appetite
becomes good; the fond digests and makes good
blood; the patient begins to grow in flesh; the
diseased matter ripens into the lungs, and the
patient outgrows the disease and gets well. This
is the only way to cure consumption.
To these three medicines Dr. J. H.Schendk, of
Philadelphia, owes his unrivaled success In the
treatment of pulmonary Consumption. The Pul
moult Syrup ripens the morbid matter in the
lungs, nature throws It off by an easy expectora
tion, for when the phlegm or matter is ripe a
slight cough will throw it off, and the patient has
rest and the lungs begin to heal.
T • do this, the Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake
Pills must be irrely n.ed to cleanse tke stomach
and liver4,4o that the Pulmunic Syrup and the
food will m ale good blood.
Schenck's Mandrake Pills act upon the liver,
removing all obstructions, relax the dusts of the
gall bladder, the bile starts freely. and the liver
is soon relieved; the stools will show what the
Pills can do,• nothing has ever been invented ex
cept calomel (a deadly po'son welch Is very dan
gerous to use uroess with great care,) that will
unlock the gall bladder and start the secretions
of the liver like Schenck's Mandrake. Pins. flr
Liver Complaint is one of the moat prominent
'Zonses of Consumption.
Schenck's Seaweed Tonic Is a gentle stimulant
and alterative. and the alkali In the Seaweed,
which this preparation is made ot, assists the
stomach to turow ow the gastric juice to dissolve
Int e ogood
w b l o o d wit h out n fer m y ent p t iaonnd It is made
or souring
In the stomach.
The great reason why physicians do not cure
Consumption is, they try to do too much; they
give medicine to stop the cough, to stop clatlis,to
stop night sweats, hectic fever, and by so doing
they derange the whole digestive powers. lock
lug up the secret.ons, and eventually the patient
sinks and dies.
Dr. chenck, in his treatment, does not trr to
stop a cough, night sweats, chills or fever. Be.
move the cause, and trey will ail atop of their
own accord. Ito one can be cured of Consump
tion, Liver Complaint. Dytpepgia, Catarrh
Canker, Uicerated - Throat, unless the liver and.
stomach axe made healthy.
If a person was consumption, of course the
ungs In some way are diseased, either tubercles,
&incases, bronchial irritation. pleura adhesion,
or the longs are a mass of inflammation and fest
decaying. In such cases what most be donel• It
is not only the lungs tnat are wasting, but it is
the whole body. The stomach and liver have lost
their power to make blood out of fo d. Now the
only chance is to tare Dr. Schenck's three medi
clues, which will bring-up a tong to the stomach,
the patient will begin to want food, it will digest
easily and make good blood; then the patient be
gins to gain in flesh. and as soon as the body be
gins to grow. the lungs commence to heal up,
sad the patleint gets de Shy and well. This is
only way to cure Consumption.
When there Is no lung disease and only Liter
Complaint and Dyspepsia, Schenck's Seaweed
Tonic and Mandrake Pills are sufficient, without
the Pulmonic Syrup. Take the Mandrake Pills
freely in a.l billions complaints, as they are per
fectly b Armless.
Dr. Schenck, who has enjoyed uninterrupted
health for many years past, and now weighs 5135
pounds. was wetted away to a mere skeleton, in
the very last stage of Pulmonary Consumption,
hi. phy.iclans having pronounced his case hope
less and abandoned him to his fate. He was cured
by the aforesaid met !canes, and since his recove
ry many thousands similarly afflicted have used
Dr. Schenck's preparation with the same re
markable success. Full directions accompany
each, matins it not absolutely necessary to per
