The remains of Ilottenstein were re moved to his home In Ashland. An lnnuest will be held this evening, The injured men, with the exception of Edward Hyan, were removed to the Miners' Hospital at Fountain Spring. Hran was uble to walk to his home. The report that the explosion was caused bv a naked lam D is denied bv Inside Fore man Kline and his assistant, James Mahony. The place is known to be loaded with gas and for this reason no linked lamps are allowed wltliln oreast 17, where the safety burners are unlocked. The gas Is believed to have been limited through the safety lamp carried by Robert Dalton, which It is thought ex ploded, although no trace of the lamp has since been found. 'The concussion, though heavy, did no damage to the mines. The scene of the explosion was In breast number 27, of the south dip, west gang way, at U:VJ. 'PI. The oresence of gas was first noticed bv AVIllInm Mimmie, who called to Dalton, working in the slant above, to savo him self. Dalton was In the act of plckinir tin his lamp when apprised that It was too late by a llasli of brilliant light followed bv n terrible nnd irresiatabio movement of air that dashed htm to earth ns though ne were a leatner. The foreman and assistants were np Drlsed of the exDlosIon bv the unusual rush of air through the workings and a moment later were upon the scene. They found Edward ltyan, a loader, picking himself out of the ditch where he hnd been tumbled by the explosion while climbing upon tho wagon. Near by him lay ins partner isucnaei ityan, unconsci ous and bleeding quite lrcely from cuts upon the face. Hyan stood in the mnnway, starting the coal when dashed out and against tht wagon, to the ditch. lie revived soon after. William Mlramio and Hobert Dalton were met making their way down the breast, croanlnir with nain. The search ing party groped its way through the dust laden atmosphere toward the place where Ilottenstein was known to have worked. A call elicited no response. Up the steep pitch they climbed, fearful for their fellow workman's fate. His posi tion wns known to have been one of par ticular danger. Forty feet from the face of tho breast they found Hottensteln's body lodged agninst a prop, his skull 'aid open and his brains oozing from tho terrible wound. Ilottenstein was dead an 1 had probably been so for Beveral minnt-s.

A Jury Falls to Fix Upon a Came for the Act Special to EVEH1NO HlllALD. GlltAliDVlLLE, May 15. -An Inqnlry by a deputy coroner nnd a jury of six citizens decided last night that ex-Postmaster Joseph M. Glick of this place met bis death by n pistol shot wound indicted by his own hand but failed to determine n cause for the deed. The inquest was not au extended ono and but lew w!tno-,ses examined, they being Jacob I'ortz, the man who found the body in the stable, the physician who mnde an examination of the body, and one or two members of the family, who were exnmlued withn view to learning the recent tempernieut and conduct of the deceased. Little satisfaction was gleaned from this source and when the time came tor the jury to make up its verdict It could only suy that the de ceased "came to his death by his own hand for some reason unknown to the jury." A member of his family stated after the Inquest that Mr. Glick was very reti cent concerning his affairs. He seldom spoke of bis business relations In the homo circle and never complained when 111 j but for several days before the suicide it was suspected he was not feeling well and that the recent husiuess complica tions which brought on the suit in con nection with the Palace Theatre Com pany seemed to worry him. This was the only cause the family could think of for the act, and yet the opinion '.-ns not based upon any complaint the deceased had made. The funeral of Mr. Glick will take place at one o'clock on Thursday and In terment wilt be made in the Odd Fellows' cemetery nt Girardville. Lout.

Two young men giving their names as Henry Folk and William Morris, and their homes as Easton, Pa., were arrested by Detective Leltcnbergcr, in Nicholas Grlra's hotel, at seven o'clock this morning, on suspicion of being Homer Sarvls and John O'Neill, wanted for the murder of Frank Hender son, in-Newburg, N. Y., on .May 2, and for burglarizing his store. Tho suspects are two well built young fellows of 24 years and claim to bo here in search of employment. The olllcer spotted them soon after they landed in town last night and kept close tab on their movements ever since. They fit tho description of tho murderers In many respects but differed In others. The ollfcer's suspicions of their indentity was strengthened this morning when in formed by hotel-keeper Grim that they had hld a mullled conversation in their room all night, seemed uneasy and were making preparations for nn early depar ture from town this morning. The description of O'Neill called for a swaggering manner and tho way Folk rolled Into Harris' hotel and asked for refreshments, last evening, set the detec tive's hair on end. "Say partner, got any thing to ent here t" "Yes, sir," meekly responded Abe Wire. "Well give us n beer-r and sandwich, right quick," and the bartender complied with alacrity.

A COMMITTEE LECTURES Hie Junior Claas Ilulil a Meeting- and Decides by n Vote to Abide by the Wither) of the llunrri, Hut n I'lrnlc Will lis Held Wltliuut tho "AuHplcc." A bomb was thrown in the High School room mis morning in tue nature of a sovere lecture and a determined protest against the picuic which the junior class had advertised for Decoration Day. The action was the result of a meeting of the School Hoard last evening. At the meeting of the Hoard one of the directors made complaint that the scholars attending the High School wero deserving of censure fur the boisterous manner In which they behave tbemsolves between school hours. This led to re mnrks by other directors. In which thev. too, claimed to have observed conduct on the part of scholars of the school which deserve the attention of the School Hoard, and special stress was put upon the chnrge that scholars are allowed to walk tue streets at hours of the night which are not in keeping with a course of good discipline nnd moral training. Finally the ulcnio advertised bv the junior class was drawn into the discus sion, luu result was tuut a committee was instructed to go to the class room to day wnu superintendent whltnker nnd express the wishes of the Hoard to the scholars. la accordance with the Instruction, School Directors It. A. Davenport and Timothy Lynch, accompanied by Super intendent Whitaker, called at the junior class room thismorningnndndministered lectures to tue scholars. Among other things, the committee stnted that tho bchool Hoard protested against the class holding n nlculc which purported to have the sanction of the school authorities aud that the picnic advertised to be held under the auspices of tho Junior High school class of Shen andoah should he abandoned. In connec tion with this it was also stated that the complaints to the Hoard against scholars of the High school had become so numer ous the Hoard had decided to resort to stringent measures to enforce ncomplt nnce with every order and rule. Tile junior class nail a meeting after tne lecture nnu tooK a vote, butiorintend. ent Whltnker was subseriuentlv notified mat tne class nnu decided to comply with the wishes of the School Hoard. One of tho School Directors said to-day "We regretted to spoil the nrranuemeuts of these young people, but wo must huve discipline nnu nave tne rules obeyed, in the tirst nlnce this class snoko to the nrin cipal and teachers about holding the picnic anu wero tout it would not he sanctioned, but In suite of this the arriinaements weremadeand tho affair was given pres tige by being advertised as an affair uudef the auspices of the Iunior class of the High School, which was very improper in tue race oi tue reiusui oi nu teachers to countenance it. Another thing, these out of-towu picnics are not looked upon with favor by the school authorities. Experi ence oi tue past has leu to the conclusion that tuey nre not conducive to moral ad vantage. Some parents have been under the impression that the school teachers huvo accompanied the scholars on such occasions, hut has rarely been the ense and with unrestricted liberty some of the scholars have not behaved themselves with the propriety expected of them, so we concluded to shut down altogether on the picnics." It wns stated this afternoon that the scholars, although submitting to tho wishes of the School Hoard, will hold the picnic, the understanding being that it shall not be held out in any way as being countenanced by the school authorities.
