HOW IS THIS ?
The recent Democratic state conven
tion was a gigantic farce. The dele
gates were there to make a great rant
and tear about Bardaley. They were
there to try to make themselves and
their constituents believe what has
been adequately demonstrated to
every intelligent resident of Pennsyl
vania as false that Bardsley was fos
tered, encouraged or protected in ills
corrupt methods by the Republican
party.
The resolutions adopted at that con
vention are circulated as a Bardsley
bugaboo and the two candidates at the
head of the ticket have been placed
there simply to give an excuse for the
circulation of the malicious, false and
slanderous composition.
"Where, in the name of heavens,
does the Democratic party stand wben
the subject of corrupt public ofliclals
s la under discussion ?

FOSTER'S REFUNDING.
The N. Y. Press says the unanimity
with which the Democratic financial
authorities speak slightingly of Sec.
retary Foster's success In refunding
the outstanding 4J per cent, bonds at
2 per cent, is simply an exhibition of
their jealousy. They are like the
people who believed that no good
could come out ot INazaretu. Yet so
low a rate of interest in a refunding
operation has never before been
reached in this country. We have
been told by the Democratic press
that money Is scarce, that free
silver must bo adopted as a policy to
tee 11 id more money for the country's
needs; but the government finds
money so plentiful that it can get
over fifty millions at less than 2 per
cent., and that, too, at a time when
the same authority insists that the
government is bankrupt. There is
nothing so convincing as tho practical
financial argument to be found in this
transaction for refuting all their stories
about the treasury finances. The gov
ernment can pay dollar for dollar
what It owes, and everybody knows
it, and its credit is so good that it can
borrow money lower than any nation
on the globe. And Republican finan
cial management and legislation have
1 made this possible !
MININGMATTERS
ITEMS INTERESTING TO BOTH
MINERS AND OPERATORS.
THE PACKER GOLLIERY EXPLOSION
The Firo Boss Exonerated A
Miner Oonaured Tho Truo
Story of John Kelly's Sul
cido Out at Last.
Tho inquest in tho case of Anthony
Mishkol and Josoph Taifer, who wcro
killed by an explosion of gas In Packer
colliery, No. 4, on August 22nd, last, has
boon hold and after a full investigation tho
firo boss was exonerated from blamo,
Eight witnesses were examined, John
Ooyle, Michnol O'Donnell, Nowton Fritz,
Patrick Noone, James Hope, Anthony
Sonovich, "William Hambry and Mathias
Sutmfkoy. They nil aworo that thoy
hoard William llainbridgo, the lira boss,
toll the deceased not to so into tho east
Mo until ho would return from tho west
side, as thoro was gas in tho plnco.
The jury rendered a verdict tothofl-
lowing effect! "That tho said Anthony
Mlshkel and Joseph Taifer camo to their
deaths by being burnod by an explosion of
gas ignited by themselves at Pankorcol
liory, No. 4 That tho deaths wero brought
on through tho neglect and carelessness of
tho doceasod by going Into tho broast after
having been notified by tho firo boss not to
do so and no blame can bo attached to tho
company."
An interesting development during tho
inquest was tho statement by Mathias
Surmskoy, onoof tho witnesses, that, after
being refused a miners' certificate In this
district, ho went to Centralia and bought
one for ono dollar without being required
to star.d an oxatninatlon.
A MINER CENSURED.
Result of a Suffolk Oolliory Caso
After hearing testimony in tho caso of
John Domashefski, a Hungarian who re
elded in this town, and was killed by a (all
of coal in the Suffolk colliory, the jury
summoned by Deputy Coroner Uronnan
docided that tho man met his death through
the neglect and carolessness of tho minor,
Jacob Gillespio.
According to tho evidence, Gillespio had
tho docoased and another Polo employed as
laborers. They had drilled two holes and
after ono was fired Gillespie, without going
up to see tho roult of the shot or dressing
the place, sent tho laborers to fire tho ot or
hole. While they wero in tho act ot doing
this a lump of coal fell from tho top.
Domashefski was crushed to death and the
other laborer had ono of his legs crushed
Tho latter is in tho Minors' Hospital.
Gillespie told tho jury that ho wont up
and looked at tho place, but John Trovo
than and Frank John sworo positively that
Gillespie romained below with them and
sent tho laborers up to firo tho other hole,
WORRIED TO DEATH.
Tho Secret of John Kelly's
Sul-
cido Revealed.
While talking about recent mino accl
dents this morning a prominent gentleman
of town said lo a Hkkald reporter, "It Is
surprising that fatal accidents in tho mines
are not much greator in number than they
are. I watch the accidents closely and I
find ths.t in nine casos out of ton they are
attributable to tho neglect and carelessness
of tho minors and laborers themselves,
Did you hear of the developments In the
caso ot John Kelly, who committed suicide
at Turkey Run a few weeks ago? At tho
time of tho euicido it was said that tho man
was driven to commit the rash act by
worrlment over want of work, Tho facts
are these, they are interesting, foe thoy
show how some men In tho mines will
persist In violating tho mine laws: One
day mine Inspector Stein wont over to a
mino near Gtlberton. Tho placo was full
of gas and tho minors were under strict
orders not to work In it without safety
lamps, previously locked In the colliory
office. Tho Inspector walkod into Kelly's
breast and said, "Give ma a match; I loft
mino at home?"
Kelly at onco drew some matches from
his pocket and handed them to the Inspec
tor, who accepted them and then called in
the boss, saying, "What is the use of bav
ing safety lamps in such places as thli
wben your men bring in their pipes and
matches 1"
The boss scolded Kolly, whosaid, "There
are plenty mon in this mine doing wurso
than that."
"I don't think anything wotso can bo
done," said tho Inspector, "but what Is it
thoy do ?'
Kolly refused to state what ho had ref
erence to, but the following night ho called
at Inspector Stein's office and made
known.
Of courfe tho Inspector acted upon the
information furnished blm. Subsequently
the mon In tho mines took rovengo by
taunting Kolly for rqueallng and he was
obliged to leave tho mine. The taunts
wura continued, however, and Kolly's life
was made unbearable. At last ho resolved
to commit tho desperate act.
