tlio verdict rendered
by the- coroner's jury
In tlio caso of Jncoli
Davis and William
Dugal, which was to
tlio effect that they met
their death by an ex
plosion of gas causod
by a naked lamp car
ried by Davis. They also censured Insldo
Forouian James Ilealon for ncgllgenco in not
having a couipotent man cxamlno that
portion of tho mines.
Bolow wo give a detailed report of the
ovidonco submitted to tho jury. Twelve
witnesses woro examined, tho flrot
being insldo foreman Jamos Hcaton who
tes.lfied: "On tho 10th of Juno I went up
tho Duck Mountain piano and aftor going
around 1 met Jako (tho decoased) and told
him whon ho could liavo timo I would like
him to go into and tako cither one of
bronsts 19, 20, 21 or 22 which had tho biggest
pitch and put a running chuto in It. He
said ho would'. According to his owi words
ho went thoro and tnado an examination of
tho placo. On Tuesday, 20th, ho went thcro
again and took with him William Dugal, and
that was tho tlmo thero was an explosion of
gas thero. That part of tho initio has
generally been pretty fico from gas. I was
on $o fourth lift that morning and I was
told about tho explosion. I afterwards saw
Jako on tho surfaco, in tho lamp houso. lie
told me that tho gas had fired. I asked him
if ho didn't havo sense enough not to go into
the placo without a safety lamp."
In answer to a question, "What was Davis
employed at the timo tho accident occurred?1
Mr. Hcaton answered, "On tho 20th of last
March Jako Davis commenced working at
No. 4. Ho and thrto or four men wcro
cleaning up tho roads. That part of tho mine
had been idlo from July, 1091. I went up
ono morning whon they wero working at a
tall ot slate and I said, 'Jake, they toll mo
you mado a good chief of polico In Shenan
doah and that being tho caso I will put you in
chargo of theso men. I will givo you some
thing less than theso men aro getting.' Th
latter remark was said as a Joko."
Iu answer to "Was ho not a flro boss?" Mr.
Hcaton answered, "No, sir; ho was not. All ho
had to do as fur as Are bossing was concerned
was to examine tho placo ho was going to
work in himsolf. In walking in iliat morn
ing ho went in breast No. 21 which had not
been working sinco 1801. Three men wore
working in breasts 20 and 33. Iu ordor to
get to those broasts men had to pass tho one
In which Davis was burned, along tho gang
WAV."
"Did tfiSMro boss used to cxamino theso
places?"
"I was fire boss. This placo was being
oponcd up again. We never had gas in tho
places since tho day wo opened thorn up. It
was iu tho third lift, Buck Mountain plane.
In the last two weeks iu May I came up iu
this part of tho workings. Jako was working
in No. 15, outside; I told him to got hli lamp
and go along in from 19 to 23 and wo went
through them. I said I wanted him to drive
a holo out of tho breast Into tho panel, some
thirty feet. I said I will send a man around
to drive it. Thero never was a lamp full ot
gas there before When Jako and mo came
out of No. 23 wo went along tho upper
gangway and into No. 10 and down to tho
lowor gangway. Jako told mo ho was up
No. 21 tho day before the accident and there
was no gas there. Sometlmos wo found a
little gas in that place, but very eoldom.
Davis and mo traveled that placo repeatedly
and never found any gas there."
"You had no regular Are boss?"
"I was acting mysolf, as wo were only
opening those two places, but after wo would
got a few more opened we would havo put a
flro boss there. I told the men to examine
tho places every morning before going in.
The men who worked in the places would ex
amine them. At tho same time Jake had
charge of them In my absence."
"Is it not customary that the fire boss go
through these places evory morning?"
"Had wo known llioro was gas in these
places thoro would have been a flro boss
there. Theso breasts had bocn abandoned
since July, 1891; the flro boss would go thero
occasionally. The distance from tho lower
gangway to the face of tho breast was about
Kill feet. I was not iu thero that morning.
Iu continuing his testimony Mr. Heaton
said ho had learned that Dugal had said to
Davis when they entered the breast, "Why
not take lamp, Jake?" and Jake said, "I was
here yesterday and thoro was no gas."
At this point Mr. Heaton changed the ver.
sion of the cause of the explosion which has
been before the public by saying, "I thluk it
was Mr. Davis who set tho gas off. J am fure
of it. Davis had bocn up thero ou the 10th
of the month and why ho went up there that
time I couldn't say. Tho Polish man told him
to. take the safety lamp as their orders aro
not to go into any part of theso workings
without a safety lamp. I didn't see Dsvls
that morning. I was there the day before
and telling htm about it and J didn't think
I would have to see him again, an Intelligent
man like. him. One man of every two bad
ill
iSmmi
I have a number of Re
to tako a safety lamp and thoy don't go out
in tho morning if 1 hoy don't bring it back
from work that day. If T wero to tako a
man to recommend for flro bois, or even
something higher than that, I would have
takou Invis. Ho would have been tho luau
I would havo called upon. Ho had worked
at No. 1 a long timo beforo that and Ms work
was always satisfactory. Tho Insldo pcoplo
wero tompetont, too. Tho man who went in
with Davis was n minor. Ho had a certifi
cate, Tho laborers must wait for tho miners
nd they are not allowed to go in If tho
minors aro not there."
"Is It customary to send a man in to ox
amiuoa placo if ho has not got a mino boss
certificate?"
"I was really hunting for a flro boss."
"Ho had no cortlflcato at tho tlmo quali
fying him for tho position?"
"No; I don't bcliovo ho would havo taken
a position as flro boss. I was paying him
n oro than tho flro bosi was gottleg."
Mr. Hcaton continued his testimony by
stating, "Tho Polish man was not up as far as
Davis In tho breast. Ho was 15 or 20 feet bo
low Davis according to tlio placo wliero wo
found tho hats and lamps. Davis was near
tho faco when he flrod tho gas."
During an interval hero Mino Inspector
Stclu said "Tho lw reads that no man shall
act as flro boss unless ho is qualified."
Mr. Heaton said, 'There would havo been
a flro boss thero provldiug wo had more of
ihoeo places working. I can't assign any
reason for gas bohig thoro that morning. 1
don't thiuk it necessary to havo a flro boss
whether you havo one or fifty places working.
When you havo a man llko Jako Davis you
would lot it go as I did. Ho was as practical
as auy man iu tho mino. Tho mon nover
found any gas thero, although tho coal Is of
that nature which makes gas. I havo been
under tho impression that thoro was part of
tho mauway down. After the explosion wo
found part of It down.
James Tempest was next called. He
tislified to a conversation Mr. Hcaton and
Duvishadlu tlio minus and also n statement
Davis made after tho accident: "On the
morning that wo started Mr. Hcaton came up
there and said, "Jako, you mado a very good
chief, now I want you to take chargo of theso
people.' Jako said, 'I was paid for being
chief;' and Mr. Hcaton said, 'You will get
paid for being boss,' that ho uicaut for being
in chargo. Then ho took Jako down and
told him what to do. As far as flro bjs3 was
concerned ho nover mentioned it. Thoro
never was auy gas thcro. Ono morning tho
man that got caught with Jako said thero
was some, but I showed him thero was noao.
Alter tho accident Jake told mo that ho told
William to stay back with tho lamp. He
said, 'I to d William to stay back and ho had
tho lamp.' I asked him where tho safety
lamp was and ho said it was ou tho gangway.
I said, 'My God, Jako, what could you see
without a light?' "
Tho other witnesses oxaminod wero George
Goodlavage, William Bainbridgo, William
Parflt, Anthony Hardy, George Uardy,
Martin Liscavago, Samuel Broome, William
Monisou and W. J. Watkius. Tho latter was
called to testify to a couvtrsatiou had after
tho accident with Davis iu which Davis said
he loft tho naked lamps with Dugel uud told
him to remain bolow, but Dugel insisted iu
going up iho breast and tho oxplosi n fol
lowed. Tho othor witnesses testified that they had
been in tho workings sovcral times and
found no gas there. Parflt said tho hats and
lamps owned by Davis and Dugal wcro
found in tho breast after tho explosion. The
hats were about nino feet apart. The hat
itud lamp farthest up tho breast belonged to
Davis, who was farther up thou thoy wcro.
Davis' lamp was about GO or CO feet from the
faco. His hat was lower down.
Anthony Hardy, a Litbuauiau having a
contract In the piano section, testified that
Dugel said af.cr tho accident, "I told Jako to
tako tho safety lamp beforo ho went up the
breast but he wouldn't do it. Ho said tio was
lu tho placo yestorday and thero was no gas
there."

The work of counting was exceedingly

Deae Shi : Noticing that in commenting
upon yesterday's parade you made a miaukn.
aud believing that you are only too glad to
give credit to whom credit is due, I beg to
call your attentlou to the same. You say
that the appearance of the Polish societies
was a special feature of the narade. Now it
you will kindly glance at the programme you.
will readily see that thtro were no Polish
socittles in the parade. Possibly you meant
tho Lithuanian Citizens' Society, D. K, L. A,
which took part in the parade resterdar.
Hoping that yoa will make this correction, I
am, yours, very respectfully,
Lithuanian Criuh,
