Will you tell this Jury whv you didn't tell, when you testified before this before, that It was Larry Keatln who shot you ? A. .Mr. Waulinerr. if 1 owned ti.o vaiuo oi this court house, 1 would freely, iu overy ene, rather not have answered that question about the shooting to day. It was not my wish or deeiro to answer that question. u. then the other day, when you were told to toll us all that occurred and what different persons said, you suppressed that portion of your testimony ? A on : no. I described all 1 saw. Q Why didn't you tell who had shot you? A. I thouiihtit would not have anv effect In this ease. I had my own reason for not telling it. I had reason from mv attorney. tl Js it not a fart that tho very second you were shot everything went red In frout ot you aud you couldn't tell who shot you? A. 1 said after I was shot ovcrvthinir went red belore me. Q. Didn't you testify tho other day when on tho Btaud in this language, "That tho very second I was shot everything went red in ironi ot me. as tbounh 1 was looltloi! throiiL'li a red glaw." A.

Mr. Amour. what position did you say you wero occupy ing on tniscar? A. I was standing on the north side of the car with my back towards wbero Brlggs and Mahony were having their light. In turning arounii i turned wiin my lace towards tin- east from the dinkey and as I went up after me urst snot went on 1 was looking east over me atnKey, ard that was when 1 coived that shot. Tho first shot I received hit mo in tbe breast After Mr. Foley put the pillow under iny head in the -ar I knew nothing until I got to uheuatirtoah. Tbo last recollection I have of seeing Brigjsthat night was just as 1 was shot. 1 did not see him again until I saw him in this coutt house. e. i. wao.nhr.

Amour was talking to Mr. Reynold). and mono auu l heard Amour call on lieynolde, btouo and the Chief Burgess to assist In keeping the crowd down aud lay the tracks. They refusod to do so and Reynolds said, "Dick, you aro a good officer, but you aranot in it to nisht. we ate too many lo you." Mr. Keating thon said that ho R not in favor of the road getting torn tin. but he didn't think it right to coino thiro with arras aud he would stand by tbo borough, Alter Surinteudont Jones arrived aud spoke to Amour he jell on tho cur ho came unou When tho repairmen got oil' the dinkey some man said tho orst man who put a pick In tne ground no would put a bullet tbrougli him, air. Dooley stcpiicd on the oar and JIi Sweeny utepped on it, on tho south side ot the front platform. Then 1 walked towards the church. I thought it was all over, but I heard them boiler (lirardvillo militia and Homestead seabs. Then I heard Briggt, say. "Hero wo are, here we are," and saw him come i nt and put 1 is gnu over tho railing Just as lie did some fellow's arm camo up and grabbed tbe gun and the gun went nil and I heard somebody holler, "He's shot ' He's shot. Tho witness also testified that ho after wards oH'crcd to run tho diukoy out of tbo town, oui some people told him ho had hotter loavo it alone, as Uo might get shot il heat tempted it, A man named Hnggerty offered to run tho car and as there ns no motor lever, witness broke open the tool box iu tbo oar auu gave uaggcriy a monkey wrench to use as n lever. Haggerty then took tho car out of the borough. hilo Amour was lying iu tho car some men said, "Let him die there, our boys aro dying, lot him die." Sorao wanted to hang him.

WILLIAM DOOI.KY was called and sworn, and iu telling of the hooting said: I was about midway iu the oar wiw my uaoK turned to the east when 1 heard tbe cry, "Whole are the Huweateaders now aud the Girardville militia ?" I heard a vole from the car say, "Here we aro, here weaie," and thon I heard the shot. 1 looked around aud I saw a man fall. I didn't know who it was. 1 then ran away and when about the middle of the square I heard a volley of shots. Mr Ilrumiu wanted to show that the wit ness mado a diffeieui story In wilting on the second day after the th otlug to the one he told ou thu witness stand. The Commonwealth objected and then long and vigorous arguments followed on both sides. Mr. Brumm said that Dooley was one of tbe men ho had asked tho Commonwealth to call before its case was called, so that tho prisoners' side could have the benefit of across examination, but tho Commonwealth refused to call these witness and the court declined to direct It to do bo aud now the prisoner is forced to put the wltnessou the stand, but not allowed to cross examine him, Mr. Brumm said a man's life wasatstako and tho Com mouwealth should not be given any advant age, If tho District Attorney had called the witneseea as requested the prisoner could have then bad the benefit of a oroas examination, but new he Is bound by the statements of the witness and dare not attack bis credibility. Upon the conclusion of tbearguments Judge Weldman decided tbatihe written statement made imuiliately after the riotoculd be used to help refresh tbe mind of the witness, but not to contradict him. The witness stated that he made the state ment In tbe preteueo of Messrs. Faiquhar, William and Maclleury Wilbelm and a stenographer, but not under oath.

Ing nliout 10:30 o'clock by a dull sound com lug from the eastern end of town, and many peoplo mado their way In that directum. The cause of the report subsequently proved. that one of the large hollers at tho Indian, Itldgc colliery, situated at the extreme east ern end of Centre stieet, had exploded. It was at fltst erroneously stated ihatser cral men had been killed by the accident but itnestigstlon proved that suoh is not tho case. Fortunately the firemen wore all st the northern end of the boiler house at tl ; time of the sxplosion. Tho wrecked boiler situated at the southern end. There was uo one injured. The exploded boiler was torn in half, i o pxrt of whirb was thrown a distan'e of f " v yards and lauded about ton feet in tho dirt bank. The cause of tbe accident is sunnotcd to be due from the use of sulphur water aud two great a pressure in order to keep up sufficient steam. Several other boilers were thrown out of tbe boiler house, and the latter structuto is a total wreck. Hie large stack was albu misplaced. lho colliery was Idle today, but the offi cials state that an effort will bo made to start up to-morrow. It is doubtful, huwover, that the effort will be successful, as it li not thought tint sufficient steam can begenerated witli the remaining boilers to run tin ma chinery.
