HAD BEEN IDLE TWO MONTHS Joseph Leiter Leads Relief Party Ninto His Mine After Dearth’s Visit. Duquoin, IIl.—A disastrous mine explosion in which 25 men lost their lives occurred Sunday in Joseph .eiter’s famous colliery at Zeigler. A spark from a trolley pole of an elec- tric motor coming in contact with a pocket of gas is assigned as the cause of the erplosion. Americans killed by the explesion include Foreman Willis Warner and Albert Kerr. Fight bodies yet remain in the mine, but they will be recovered be- fore morning, it is thought. Joseph Leiter personally conduct ed the first relief party that descend- ed into the mine to recover the bodies. The lone survivor of the explosion was an Italian youth, who escaped unharmed. An expert who had been experi- menting with the gas in the mines at Zeigler left on Wednesday, confident that he had placed the mine in safe condition to be operated. The men entombed were engaged in clearing away the debris caused by recent fires in the mine and it was expected that operations would be re- sumed this week after two months’ suspension. The mine was put in operation in 1903 and soon after labor troubles began. In April, 1905, an explosion in the mine killed 51 men. The explosion was peculiar. No noise was heard or shock felt at the opening of the shaft. Only a puff of smoke was seen. Mrs. Leiter went to the mouth of the mine with her husband, aided in quieting the widows and orphans {and furnished coffee and sandwiches to the men recovering bodies. PRESIDENT APPROVES DEAL Tennessee Coal and Iron Sale Sub- in the southwestern part of St. Clair county. | At first it was thought that the victim was the Rev. J. H. Carmichael ; who had disappeared from the neigh- | borhood, but further investigation showed that it was a man named Gideon Browning and the officers are searching for Carmichael. Myron Brown, who lives near the scene of the tragedy, discovered the crime. ‘While waiting at the cross- roads, the cold wind drove him to seek shelter in the church. He was terrified to see the church floor, the pews and even the communion table daubed with blood and fragments of bloody clothing scattered all around. Evidently the clergyman, who was 56 years old and of athletic build, had made a terrific struggle for life. ‘The authorities found parts of the dismembered body in the two stoves located respectively at the front and rear, and discovered in one stove the head of what was apparently a new hatchet, the handle of which had been burned off. A dirk was also found in the church. The minister’s horse was found tied to a tree in the village of Pine River, the dead man’s overcoat being dis- | covered in the buggy. Pine River is | fully 20 miles from the scene of the murder. FINDS JUDGE A GRAFTER { Milo A.

GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE READ Business-Like Review of State's Affairs Sent to the Legislators. Harrisburg.—The Pennsylvania leg- islature was organized January 5 for the session of 1909. John F. Cox of Allegheny was chosen to preside over the house and A. E. Sisson of Erie, was elected president pro tempore of the senate. Immediately following their elections, April 15 was fixed as the date of final adjournment. Governor Edwin S. Stuart submit- ted his annual message to the legis- lature. The executive goes into an exhaustive explanation of the finances of the Commonwealth. For the year ending November 30, 1908, the total revenue was $25,852,5648.05, as against $27,027,132.72 for the year ending No- vember 30, 1907. The total expendi- tures for the year ending November 30, 1908, was $29,1¢7,664.15, as against $25,557,466.83 for the year ending No- vember 30, 1907. The extra expen- 'diture in 1908 went toward hospitals and asylums for the insane, charitable institutions, highway construction, common scheols, national guard, sol- diers’ and sailors’ home, destruction of noxious animals and for primary election expenses. There was a slight reduction in the actual expenses of the government. Governor Stuart recommends: that no money be paid out except upon specific appropriation, points out the good work done hy the State in the direction of ridding tlhe streams of pollution, the importance of the fight now organizing to ‘arrest the ravages of tuberculosis, the interest of the State in the public school system, and the pending work of revising school legislation into a uniform and homo- geneous system, the call for child la- bor legislation, the preservation of the forests and restriction of the grants of water rights. The Governor calls attention to the fact that while hospitals for the iIn- sane to which the State contributes: by appropriations are avercrowded, and although the State hy apprepria- tions commencing eight years ago has appropriated $1,300,000 for a new hos- pital at Allentown, on which building operations hegan five years ago, the State is as yet “unable to house a single patient in the building.” The message compliments the dis- Guard. It sets forth strongly the im- portance of the State’s problem of improved highways, with particular emphasis, first on the maintenance of the highways, and next on the central State highway from Pittsburg to Phil- adelphia. It summarizes the work done by the State constabulary ferce and recommends the increase of that body. It closes by calling attention te the semi-centennial of the pivotal battle of the Civil War at Gettys- burg, and recommending the crea- tion of a commission to consider the commemoration of that event in co- cipline and efficiency or the National | STANDARD WINS Petition of Government for Writ of Certiori Denied by the U. 8.
