A REPORTER INTERVIEWS IN
SPECTOR STEIN.
SOME VERY IMPORTANT OPINIONS
What the Inspector Thinks of
Mine Foremen When Compar
ing Praotlco Wi h Theory.
Tulk on Accidents.
T? r?ESTKni)AY afternoon
JjMf 11 H'-HALi) reporter
tllllllfCUlt L11U lUUIIUbUMJT
of his rounds by drop'
ping into tlio olllco of
Mine Inspector Stein
anil found the Inspector
busy fiulshlng liis re
port for lb02. Sir.
Stein riceived tlie reporter very courteously
in his cosy little sanctum and ox pressed 11
willingness to furnish any infoimatiou which
might ho ol interest to tho many readers of
tlio IIkrali), but ho regretted that lie was
utuiblu to make a satisfactory comparative
statement relative to tho years 1801-2, us ho
had not received all tho returns of tho coal
production for 1692.
In answer to a remark about tlio condition
of tlio collieries in liis district Mr. Stein s.tlil
ho considered tboso in tlio sixth district arc
kept in very good condition.
"I seo Irom sorno of tho advanced statistics
in connection with your report for 1SD2," wild
tho reporter, "that you speak very highly of
Mr. James, inside foreman at Kobinoor col
liery." "Yes, 'Tom' James is a very vigilant, caro
fill forman and Is vory strict in seeing that
his orders aro carried out, so that Ills men
may bo kept as safe as possible"
"Mr. Stein, with regard to tho qualifica
tions of a mino foreman, is it not a fact that
a colliery is safer in tho hands of a good,
practical miuer than with a theoretical
man?"
"Well, I would sooner havo a good prac
tical foreman with no theory than a theo
retical man with no practieo in charge of my
colliery if I wero an operator. Theoiy is all
right and every mino foreman should edu
cate himself in theory, but it is not, in my
opinion, iudispensiblc, becauso tho man who
ha the immcdiato chargoof a calling must
deal almost with practice. Tho theoretical
department is cared for by those whoso duty
it is to do nothing cUo. A chemist can sit in
bis laboratory and manufacture gas, and oven
explode it, but we have a laboratory in our
mines giving oil' gas which wo havo no con
trol as to its manufacture other than prac
tically detect it with tho safety lamp and
practically diluto it with plenty ventilation."
"Mr. Stein," continued tho reporter, "a
man was killed in your district this week, at
Boston Kuu colliery, by a fall of coal, his
name was Henry Young?"
"Yes, I examined tho placo whero Young
lost his lifo and was told bo was a flrst class
miner. Ho was robbing back tho upper west
gangway of tbo Holmes vein and was starting
a narrow breast through tho pillar, called
No. 10J, and had just made a hitch or recess
in tho rib to stand what wo miners call a
'juggler' when an overhanging pieco of coal
fell from the face of tho breast and killed
Young instantly. From my examination of
tho place I found a very prominent slip on
either sido and also in tho face of tho breast,
which caused tho piece of coal to fall off."
"Do you think an accident of this kind
purely accidental ?"
"No, I do not. Whero coal is overhanging
it should bo taken down by a blast or other
wise and many a valuablo lifo is lost in
taking such risks. I feel sure that with
proper care and good judgement wo should
havo at least 75 per cent, less accidente."
'Have you hail many acoidents this year?"
"No, not as many so far this year as last.
In January, 1BJ , wo had nine deaths and in
February wo had eight. In January, 1S03,
we bad two deaths and in February we had
two, but of coureo this month is not finished
yet, as you know."
Mr. Stolu said tlut after all tbo returns aro
in be would probably be able to give much
more to interest the public..

"THE KIND THAT CURES."
THE MYSTERY CLEARED.
A White Street Family Relieved After
Months ut Anxiety.
For sovoral months past tbo family of
S. G. M. Hollopeter, Esq., has been much
perplexed by "spook" stories basol upon a
curious object which the servant claimed to
havo seu in the cellar of the residence.
One day after returning from tho collar the
servant was as white as a sheet and trembled
like an aspen leaf. She declared she had
seen the ruler of hades; that it was a horrid
looking creature and bad a "great long snout."
Membors of the family made search in the
cellar and could find nothing, but the girl
repeated her declaration after another visit
and as the servaut's duties required frequent
trips to the cellar she finally decided to leave
the house and did so. Mr. and Mrs. Hollo
peter were completely nonplussed. Fre
quently searches on their jiart hail revealed
nothing of the character described by the
servant and they concluded that she was a
victim of imagination, and this opinion was
held until a few days ago, when the servant
was vindicated.
The solving of the mystery was brought
about by one of the family finding upon the
collar floor a possum of unusual size, dead,
and it bad "a great, long snout." Potatoes
and other vegetables bad been disappearing
from tlie cellar very rapidly for a year past
and it is believed that the 'possum had been
a tenant of the place all tliat time and sub
sisted on the stealings. It Js supposed tnat
the animal secreted itself iu a bag of potatoes
pureliased from a farmer and thus gaiued ad
mission to the bouse.

goin' on
Under the recent election tho momborshln
of tho Borough Council will stand as follows
when the ro organization takes placo:
I-lrst ward Coakloy, MoGuire and Kano.
Second ward Scbeilly, Stout and Finnoy.
Third ward Van Duscn, Lamb and James.
Fourth ward-Gable, Hotman and Gafllgau.
Fifth ward Bcttcrldge, Gallagher and
Davitt.
Now comos tlio momentous question how
will tbeso fifteen Councilmcn organize? Will
tboy get together and organize on a plan that
will bo satisfactory to all, or will thero bo a
combination of eight, nino or ten that will
have full Bwing. Ayo ! that is tho question.
Technically tbo new body will comprise
soven Democrats, six Citizens and two Inde
pendents. To organize thero must bo a
quorum of eight.
It was stated yesterday by a gentleman
who has given tho matter some thought that
tho Republican members aro willing to meet
Messrs. Scbeilly and Finney, tho independent
members, on an nuiicablo basis; that Scbeilly
lives in u Republican ward anil wa3 elected
by Republican votos, and that tbo saino is
the caso with Finnoy.
The samo gentleman has stated that thoro
also seems to bo a disposition to amicably
adjust thu water question and two plans for
this have been strongly hinted upon, namely:
First, if tbo court decides in favor of new
water works another attempt will be
mado to purchaso tlio plant of tho
old company and that tho plant bo enlarged
and Improved. This would bo tbo cheaper
plan, those who suggest it think, and would
unlto ostranged friends and neighbors,
Second, should tho court decido against tho
piojcct, that tho matter bo dropped and tbo
money already spent bo charged io profit and
loss and be looked upon as cheap enough for
getting out of a big hole, for it is now con
ceded by somo of tho advocatos of public
water works that the cost will bo nearer
$300,000 than $05,000 and after their con
struction tlie positions created by them
will bo a source of contention overy year.
It is also claimed that with an organization
outlined as abovo tho Borough Council could
put itself to work making many ranch needed
improvements, such as street paving, better
public sewerage, bettor street crossings, moio
light, an extended system of liro plugs and
tho like, and that at tho end of the year the
Councilmcn could show a record that would
be entitlod to some praise.

FATAL FALL OF ROOK.

Tho first fatal accident that lias occurred 1ft
the Kobinoor colliery for over two year
happened yesterday afternoon and John
Wiley, who boarded with his brother-in-law,
B. F. Woomor, on West Centre street, was tbe
victim. Wlloy was i widower and left five

Ho was a tall, broad-shouldered man of
jovial end easy-going disposition.
Wlloy was u laborer for minor John Glover.
All the men who worked in the place say it
was considered perfectly safe. It was lex
atnined twico during tho day and alsojuit
beforo the accident happened.
Just boforo tho fatal crash Glover and
Wiloy stood together under tho rock. Glover
advanced a few foet up the breast and Wiley
remained behind. Glover hoard a cracking
noise and shouted to Wiley "Look out!" Be
foro the words wero out of his mouth the
rock had fallen. It fell from a height of
about fifteen feet.
Tho pieco that fell upon Wiley weighed
about two and a lntlf tons. Much difficulty
was experienced in getting tho body ont and
it was necessary to break tho rock into
pieces.
Wiley was completely doubled up tinder
tho falling mass and his body was horribly
mangled. His right arm was fractured in
two places, his skull was mashed and his neck
was broken.
