The Inquest iu the cases of Michael
Reynolds, David Fisher and John Stone,
the three men who died at tho Miners'
hospital at Fountain Springs from the
effects of hums received in an explosion
of gas in the Holmes vein of the Wm.
.'eun colliery, was concluded in town last
ight by Deputy-Coroner Mnnley nnd a
ury comprising Messrs. P. J. Cleary, F.
r. llrennnn. J. H. Mauler. Charles Vlt-
cufsky.P, F. Monaghan and John Scnulan.
Tne evidence snoweu mat iioynoius
fired the gas and that the three victims
were responsible for their deaths because
they went into a part of the mine where
thev had been warned that irns existed
and a part into which their work did not
call them. One of the witnesses was very
nositive on the latter point and empha
sized the statement with the remark that
the only reason for the men going luto
that part of the mine was to get loose coal
mined bv others.
Notwithstanding the character ot this
testimony tome members ot the jury con
sidered that there had been a technical
violation of the mine law and for some
time after the witness retired the jury re
mained in session discussing a proposition
to censure the colliery officials. A com
promise verdict was eventunlly agreed
upou.
James Coogan was called and testified
that he was a miner and bad worked 22
vears at the W in. Penn colliery, lie was
at the bottom of tho slope when the ex
plosion occurred. When John Stone was
brought out Coogan asked how the ac
cident happened. Stone said they went
into the place without n safety lump and
Reynolds llred the gas. He said he was
in the chute and lleynolds was above.
uoouan lurtner testiueu "we niwavs uau
safety lamps of our own and took care
of ourselves, but the fire boss would at
tend at any time we notified him. That
lias been tne custom since i nave been
in that part of the mine, which is from
two to three Tears. All the men were
brttisfled that ft was necossary for them to
go iu there in the mornings without
depending upon the fire boss. I have been
robbing iu that mine for from 15 to 20
years nnd we have always looked after
our own places. The men had been noti
fied to beware that there was gas in the
old breast about 15 yards above the place
tuese men were supposeu to oo worKiug.
The man who fired the gas was supposed
to be one of the most competent men In
the plnce, but the two men went up with
out n safetv lamp. It was not necessary
to take safeties up there previous to a
week or eight days before the accident
happened, wuen we were notllled that
there was gas there."
Frank Sweeney, a miner, testified he
had worked at the colliery for about seven
years and in the place where the men
were nurneu oooui iwo years, lie was at
the bottom of the slope when the oxplo-i
ion took place. Subsequently he asked
Fisher, one of the vlctluis.how it happened.
Fisher Bald he was In tho "nionkov.'
Continuing. Sweeney testified. "The men
had no business there. They went further
than their work and if they had not gone
there the accident would not have hap
pened. I saw gas in the place about 7 or
0 days previous to the explosion. It was
about 22 yards above mj battery. I not!
lied Coogan, McSurdy, Reynolds and
Stone that there was gas up there, but
didn't notiiy tne lire boas, i examineu
uiv own nlace. It was customary. The
fire boss ruiirht come in there ten times
and never get in your place once, because
the place may be working and there was
no manway or otner means tor tne lire
ijoss to irei tin. so we conciuuea
to take care of the place ourselves,
I never qualified before n Justice
of the Peace to examine gases.
If those men had waited until I got in
and pulled down that loose coal they
would be alive to-day. There were six
men working in the place. Coogan. Stone,
Reynolds nnd McSurny were partners and
Fisher and me were buttles. For a month
or two before that day Reynolds never
waiKeu in ironi me oouom oi uio Biope;
we always waited for a ride in; but that
mornlnir tteynoius wniKeu in nneau ot us.
If the lire boss had gone In there he
would not have found the gas, because
the place was working more or less and
donrt think he could have got up to it."
InsDector Stein : "Mr. Sweeney, do
understand you that these men were try
ing to take coal that didn't belong to
ttiem."
A. "That is the understanding."
Georire McSurdy. a miner, and having
worked 8 or 9 years at the colliery, and In
this particular place for a couple of years,
testified that he was at the bottom of the
slope when tho gas exploded. The plnco
was about three-quarters of a mile from
the bottom, He met Reynolds ou the
turnout about 8 or 9 hundred yards from
the slope. McSurdy continued, "Reynolds
told me he llred the gas. I BBked htm
how far he went up and Stono made the
remark 'He went too far.' Reynolds said
he didn't have a safety lamp. I also ex
amined for gas in the morning before
starting to work, but never qualified be
fore a Justice of the Peace. I never
agreed with any one to look after the gas,
but It was understood between us that' we
would attend to it ourselves. Many
times we went to places wiiere tne lire
boss could hardly get into. Tho Are boss
was not in the habit of coming to such
places and I never requested him to go
there."
Philip Jones testified that he had been
lire boss of the mine for over twelve
years. The day previous to the accident
lie visited that part of the mlueund found
no gas. He had visited the place twice
that week. He had no Instructions from
his superiors not to examine, that place In
the morning. The men said they would
look after It. Reynolds said they would
take care of that. They told him (Jones)
several times they would take care ot It
themselves.
fled "It is impossible to keep the current
oi air running wneu you are rooDing.
This body of gas was duo to a running
pillar, which choked the gas In tho head-
ng. That Is the very reason why wo gave
nese men saiety lamps anil iieynoms
said, 'never you mind: you give us the
safety lamps and we will take care of our
selves, 'mere were no regular manwnys
and bs shots were frequently fired the
last thing in the evening the flro boss
wouldn't know where to go In such a
place It was always understood between
the ijien, the flro boss and me that the
men would iook niter themselves.'
DeDUtv-Coroner Mnnlev read section 8
f article 8, laws of Pennsylvania, (lbUl)
s follows: "And no nerson shall be
permitted to act as flro boss In any coal
mine, or colliery, except ne nns uau live
yenrif practical experience In mines as a
mine;, three of which he shall havo as a
miner wuerein noxious ana explosive
gasejunre evolved, nnd the snld lire boss
shnllTcertlfy to the same before entering
Upon! his duties, before nn Alderman,
Justfje of the Peace, or other person
authorized to administer oaths and n
copy'pf snld deposition shall be filed with
tne uutner, inspector oi mines, wuerein
said nerson Is emtilovcd."
MrJMnnley then asked, "Mr. Stein, do
you think the mine officials violated the
law m uaving tuese men iook niter miu
gasfl
wrjotein answered, "ine law you can
say whs violated inasmuch ns they were
not qualified according to law: but sup
posetlie whole six men had been qualified
according to law anil uau inKen tne oaiu
before nn Alderman or Justice of the
Peace?, that wouldn't make them any more
ualllled ns to their fitness to examine
or cas. Hut thev didn't comply with
the law by taking the oath. I don't think
the point is a flaerant violation of the
law. They were thoroughly qualified. I
knewaomo of these men nnd they were
good, (Competent men. Reynolds I knew
very woll. It is customary for men tak
ing oontrncis tor robbing to iook auer
themselves "
The lurv had a lencrthv and warm nrgtt-
meritSpver the case. Three of the jurors
thought that as there had been n violntion
of th& law. technical or otherwise, the
minopmcinis 8iiouiu be censureu, so tunt
it would be a wnrulnir to others not to
allow; men to act as Are bosses before
qualifying as required by law. The other
three argued that under tho evidence the
accident had not been brought about by
any incompetency or ignorance, butsolely
by the carelessness of two of the men in
going into a plnce ogainst which they hnd
ueeu Wftiueu iiuu wueiu bucj uau uu uusr
ness. and without a safety lamn.
Tne jurors nnniiy agreeu upon mo
following comnromise verdict : "That the
said Michael lleynolds, David Fisher and
John Stone were fntnllv burned by nn
explosion ot gas on Mny lutu, ltm, in tne
iioimes vein oi tuo m. ieiiu couierv.
That the said cas wasexnloded by Michael
itevnolds taKlng a miKed ngnt into tne
plnce of work. Philip Jones, the Are
boss, did not examine tne place ns
julred by law and deserves to ue censureu.

FLAG DAY.
Tho advent of ex-Senator King in the
field for the Democratic nomination lor
Senator in the Thirtieth district has not
In the least alnrmed ex-Reprcsenttttive
Coyle, who Is making n hustling canvass
lor tue itepunucan nomination. xne
mention of other names in connection
with the latter nomination also fails to
make nn impression on Mr. Coyle. His
friends say he lias the nomination nsgood
as In hand now.
If nuv one doubts the chances of success
lor tuo liepuuncan party in uus county
next fail let him tnke up the labor ques
tion and consider it carefully. The latest
dron in tho scale of waires for the miners
nnd lnborersof tha P. & R. C. & 1. Company
Is enough to nuiKe tne wage earners ue
clnre with all sincerity that "the country
is in an nwf nl state." It mny be remarked,
incidentally, mat tne rate oi wages is now
lower tlinn nt any timo sinco ueveinuu s
first term as President. Notwithstanding
the Democrats have had full control of
both houses nnd all executive departments
of the national government I r two years,
a id notwithstanding tue unlimited
pledges made in the pintform upon which
that control was secured, the party has
failed to -do a single thing tending to
alievinte the condition of tho working
peoplo. Surely the latter have
excellent reasons for deploring that
they ever entrusted tueir interests
in the hands of the Democratic
nartv. Comimred with tho present con
dition of affairs tho miners nnd laborers
enjoyed prosperity during tho Harrison
aaministration. l anticipate uiai Home
of our Democratic friends will ridicule
the idea that Cleveland's administration
is in any wny respousiblo for the condition
of the basis and maintain that it is duo
solely to mysterious manipulations in the
coal excuauge. mat argument, was useu
beforo with some Biicce3s in some quar
ters, but I do not believe it will moke the
slightest impression this time. To-day
mere nro over iuu,uuu uuuiiuuuus coji
miners ou strike, the solt coal plants and
their customers are crippled by the famine
which has resulted, and vet the anthra
cite miners have not gained the slightest
advantage by it; ou toe contrary tuey
find the nrice of their product and the rate
of their wages dropping lower than they
havo been for seven years. There Is only
one reasonable solution : the frt;o trade
declarations of the Democratic party nnd
its juggling with the mongrel ilson bill
has so badly crippled the industries
throughout the country thnt there is no
market for coal. The great strike now
in nrotrress In the bituminous fields havo
crippled the producers and consumers nt
an opportune time; moy nre not, compelled
to fall back unou the use of anthracite.
but can close down their works until the
circus season at Washington closes. Iu
the meantime the tuu.uuo bituminous
miners, hnndlcnpped by n general stagna
tion of trade, will he starved out. The
elections of the next two years will show
that the working people will not overlook
these facts and the Republicans will win
the battles ot tho ballots In all parts of
the country, hands down.
Much interest is taken in this end of the
county In the First Legislative district
fight. It is conceded that Mr. Finney is
ou the inside track and has excellent
chances to win. Desperate efforts are be
ing made to drag him into other figh .
and thus n feeling against htm in factions,
but they have failed and the little glnut
holds ins own ground.
The Legislative Auht in the Fourth ills
trlct will be a hot one. With so mnuy
cnndldntes in the Aeld it cannot bo other
wise. Stuck, one of the latest, Is making
a rattling campaign nnd it is said n large
numberoi liiuuontiai voters are necoming
stuck on him. Dr. Coxe, of Schuylkill
Haven, is in to win and will make It
warm for some of his opponents before he
gets through. Mr. Hnriug, of Palo Alto,
feels confident. Ho has been out since
the early part of tho year and feols thnt
he hs things down to a line point.
Thn renort that Dr. Ouail. of Auburn.
is n eandidate for the Legislature, is de
nied. There Is a faint suggestion that lie
may become a compromise candidate for
uougress.
