Mc j Groarty also shouted to the men in i the cars that they had better get | out ar.-d walk. I saw some night : shift men going out and I told them 1 to notify the runner to pull the trip !of cars out. They said they would. "The men in the cars were in the | act of climbing out and the night .shift men had left when there was | a blinding flash. There was not i much concussion and the flame was ! gone in a little while.

MAUK REFUSES TO DISCUSS CHARGES (Continued From First Page) have been lodged against Mauk, who is now out of jail under S6OO bail for a preliminary hearing before Alder man C. E. Murray to-morrow after noon at 3 o'clock. Mauk was ar rested last night after investigations by County Detective James Walters, when the facts were brought to the attention- of District Attorney Mich ael E. Stroup. The information was placed before Alderman Murray who issued a warrant for Mauk's ar rest, which was made by Constable Grove. The investigation which brought the gruesome allegations to light was ordered by District Attorney Stroup after relatives of Howard Mc- Cracken, of Altoona, who died in the State Hospital last week, called at tention to the alleged shoddy burial given McCracken-. The body of McCracken, who died in the State Hospital last Thursday, was turned over to Undertaker Mauk by Coroner Eckinger for burial. Relatives are said to havo made ar rangements for the funeral to take place on Monday, but when they ar rived in this city on that day, they declare they found that the body had been- buried on Saturday. A fee of $5 for minister's services is said to have been charged by Mauk, but when he could not fur nish the name of the officiating clergyman, relatives became dubious and, investigating, found that none had been employed. Mauk is said to have admitted that this was prob able since he was out of the city that day, an-d to have refunded the fee charged. Suspicious then, relatives became desirous of viewing the corpse and secured a permit to have the body exhumed. Said to have been clad only in underwear and with a bundle of excelsior covered only with a piece of linen, the body is declared to have been found in a rough pine box, cov ered with black paper. A total of $l2O is said to have beer.- paid by relatives for the casket, minister's services, embalming, shroud and other incidentals. The facts were then placed in the hands of Alder man Murray and then in the hands of District Attorney Stroup and the investigation- followed. The second case, the one in which a pasteboard box, tied with rope, is said to have been used, is that of an infant son of Mr. and Mrs. Frederick VanFuskirk, 2917 Bank street, Pittsburgh. The death of the child is said to have occurred on Octo ber 13 and the facts said to have been revealed when the body was exhumed to be buried irr the same plot of ground with the father, who died on March 1. In neither of the cases were the bodies embalmed, according to the information made against Mauk.
