Remains of the Colorado Mine
Victims Interred.
THE INQUEST TO-NMT I
A llrothcr of One f the Victim Makes n
Fruitless Starch For Money the Dead
Man Was Supposed to Have on His
Feraou,
The fact that the bodies of the two
missing miners have been recovered is a
great relief to tho public at lnrge as welt
as to the relatives of the deceased and the
operators of tho mine, yet the after-
clapse may be such that some people
may yet wish that the remains had re
mained entombed. As in many other
cases money is the root of the evil. It
will be remembered that at the time th e
men were entombod It wat reported that
Seber Prnnzey, one of the victims, was
reported as having MiUu on uls person.
The victim's brother was so much
worked up over the matter that had not
tho officials interfered the man would
havo rushed into the deadly gnsses to
make a search for the wealth. When the
bodies were recovered they were in such n
state of putrcficntion that most of the
miners were unable to go within a hun
dred feet of them. The men who had
sulllclent stamina to take them out
quickly rolled the bodies In canvas and
gave no thought to a search for money
and as they Here carried out the bodies
were sent to Undertaker John Roberts, of
town.
Mr. Roberts said last night that the
bodies were the worst he had handled for
many a day. When he pulled oil the
boots parts of tho llesh adhered to the
leather and it was concluded to allow the
clothing to remain and wrap the whole
in a sueet. mis course was auopteu anil
the bodies were placed in caskets.
At about live o'clock last evening
Pranzey's brother called at. the under
taking establishment and insisted that a
search be made for the money. Notwith
standing the decomposed state of the
bodies the man identified one of them as
that of his brother. Undertaker Roberts
then ncceded to the request and com
menced a search for tho money. lie did
not dare remove the clothing, but cut all
the pockets with a sharp knife and after
turning them inside out convinced the
brother that there was no money on the
remains. The man then became much
excited and stated that he knew bis
brother had saved a considerable sum and
would resort to legal process to solve the
mystery surrounding its disappearance.
He snid that immediately after his brother
was reported missing he called at the
boarding houso and asked to be allowed
to search the brother's trunk, but the
boarding mistress refused to allow him
to even enter the bedroom. Since thnt
time the trunk has been searched, but no
money has been fonnd. The man inti
mated that he would cause an arrest.
A Glrardville physician called at the
undertoking establishment last evening
and made an examination of the bodies in
behalf of Deputy Coroner Donoghue. He
said he was sutlsfied that neither of the
men lived two liours alter the fire started.
One of tho men was over six feet blub
and welched over two hundred nnuinla
The other was about five feet eight inches
nnu weigneu nuout one uunureu ana mtj
pounds.
Health Officer Miles called upon the
nnueriHKer last nigut ami toiu mm that
the remains should be kept ben led and
me caskets huouiii nor Lie opened Again,
The instructions were obeved.
The funerals took place at 9 o'clock this
morning from the undertaking establish
ment and the remains were interred In
the Polish cemetery.
A reporter visited Lost Creek last night
and learned that Col. D. P. Brown, the
superintendent for the Lehigh Valley
Coal Company, was suffering from the
reaction lonowing me anxiety Attending
the search for the bodies. Workmen who
were at the mine when the bodies were
recovered siy the superintendent was
very much affected when the miners told
him the search was nt an end. When he
learned of the traces left to shov7 tin
methods to which tho men had resorted
to save their lives the superintendent al
most oroKo uown.
The recovery of the bodies is vcrv cmtl
fying to the public as well n9 to the
relatives and the officials of the company,
because it effectually disposes of the
suspicion of foul play. It has been an
open secret that the mine operators suf
pected that they were victims of a con
spiracy. They got this idea because three
mine fires followed each other in rapid
succession. When tho fire in the Colorado
mine started und the two men reported
missing there were several who hinted
that the men had made their escape and
that events would probably show that the
lire was a part of n plan to cripple the
mine. Even as late as a week ago a
prominent mine official stated that "If
the bodies are there they will soon be
recovered," showing that there was a
doubt as to whether they were In the
mine. The recovery of the bodies vindi
cates tho victims.
Deputy Coroner Donoghue will hold an
inquest on the oases at Glrardville to
night and attempt to ascertain as near as
possible as to what caused the fire.

Mahakot Cut, June 15. As Alexander
Anderson, porter nt the Mansion House,
drove his team up Main street nt 0 o'clock
this mornlnc, the horse suddenly halted
nt the Reading bridge nnd refused to go
further. The driver chirruped something
plensant In his ear supposed to move any
black animal, swore a little, cracked his
whip and while so doing overbalanced
the seat and tumbled to the grouud right
in front of tho wheels. The horses then
started, the wheels almost covering the
driver's face, and he only saved himself
by n quick dextrous move. As it is he
carries several scratches upon his coun
tenance as a memento of tho ndventure.

Pottsville, June 14. Noxt week's
court promises to be an interesting one.
Among important cases will be those of
County Commissioner Allen and Dr.
Szlupns, of Shenandoah. Each of these
cases will make good drawing cards and
bring mnny peoplo to tho hill from
both below nnd above the mountain. Mr.
Loach, who is prosecutor in tho enso
against Mr. Allen, has gone to Bnrnegnt
to recuperate ana get in goou oruer for
tho
trim. r.x-uistrict Attorney nuu
County Chnlrruan Whltehouse, who Is
doing tho chief legnl work for tho prose
cution In the case, has gone with Mr.
ijoscu. mt. WMtehouii as sought the
retreat to mi uimseii up witu sen air so
that he will be able to manage the poli
tical campaign with success.
I have n quiet tip to the effect that can
didates for office who want to be nomi
nated must give bonds to obey tho bosses
and if they fail to do this they may as
well pull out of the field now and save
further expense and shoe leather. The
leaders say they will take caro that no
more mistakes happen.
Tho campaign will not open nssoon as
wns expected, because the hot weather
has taken the wind out of the sails of
those who Invoreu an early convention.
There Is still considerable talk of ruu
ning General Joshua A. Sigfriedns a com
promise enndidate for Congress and those
who are instrumental in keeping it up
say with some gusto that the party has
more than once fallen back upon the
General to lead It when hard pushed, and
who can tell but that the party may be In
need of him now.
Of the three candidates in the field now
for the Congressional nomination, Shoener
seems to oe me only one wno is mnKlng
nny kind of a show of getting there. It is
my opinion thnt there- is something
"rotten in Denmark," as many of the
warmest friends of both Brumm and
Shoener havo been seen frequently of lnte
in mysterious consultation with some
of the Losch lieutenants. When these
people are npproached they appear to be
entirely Innocent of nnv underhand work.
but there hns been a sufficient lonknce to
warrant the statement that Losch Is iret.
ting In his work in good shnpo nnd hns
uecn maKing genuine progress lately
through some of tho men counted upou
by the other candidates. The people who
havo weakened have changed their course
in obedinnce to what they suppose are
orders issued from headquarters. The
funniest thing about the whole- business
is that most of these men havo been foro-
most in denouncing interference from
outsido sources nnd Ml' ' .'.riling their
independence in many oth. , n-ays.
Developments of recent dnte seem to
havo somewhat encouraged tho Demo
crats una tnoy are more free in announc
ing themselves for office. The Senatorial
contest in the 30th district Beoms to at
tract tho most attention and It is expected
that King, Frnney and Spieso will make
one of the hottest campaigns in the dele
gate elections tne party has had for some
time.
Very little Is said about the Congress
ional nomination on the Democratic side.
Reilly still has the Held to himself and
there is not the slightest intimation that
he will be opposed.
The contest for the Shrievalty was
shifted to Shenandoah last Thursday.
All the candidates, Or their frieuds, took
advantage of the celebration to work up
chances. All the returns of that day's
work are not in, but a friend of mine snys
that to a fellow up tho tree It looks ns if
Higgins and Davis will bo the opposing
candidates next fall.
So much for polltlets. I see thnt the
Shenandoah base ball people aro head
over heels In the sport again. I wish
them luck, for If there is nny place In the
county In which I enjoy a frame of base
ball it is in Shenandoah. 1 suppose you
people have observed that we are not "in

say the league' Is n very fnst ono this year,
others say our plnyers can play but won't

A circus has been extensively billed for
our town but I fear the astute managers
will slip upon it this year. Thus far tho

be a wrestling mntch, which will hardly

spectacular shows of previous years seem
to have reached the zenith of the circus
man's ambition nnd skill nnd for an ordi
nary circus to come around and expect to
reap the same harvest as its glittering
predecessors is counting out of reason.
The circuses of to-day hnve fnllen back

The Ancient Order of Hibernians met
in Pittsburg this week nnd among the
resolutions passed by that body were one
recognizing tho Stars nnd Stripes nnd
denouncing the American Protestant As
sociation, In tho following strong lan
guage :
Resolved. That we recognize and so
teach our members that our highest and
first civic duty is to the Stars nnd Stripes
and to the free Institutions of our beloved
country. We pledge tho manhood, the
llfs, and the sacred honor of every Irish
American Catholic to the perpetuation of
the God-given rights of every American
freemnu life, liberty nnd the pursuit r
hnppinoss, nnd civil, political nnd rellgi
ous equality, before the law, for all men.
regnrdless of creed, color or national de
scent. As American citizens, lovers of
liberty and equality, we condemn and d
nounce organizations no matter by what
name they may be known, that arise to
abridge the rights of any American clt:
zen becauso of bis national descent or re
ligious belief. We condemn nnd denounce
these orders ns uu-Amerlcnn In spirit,
charncter nnd objest, nnd we appeal to all
true Americans who lovo liberty, justice
nnd fair play, to join with us In our pa
triotic effort to free American citizenship
from the disgrace of fostering or counte
nnncing such nn illiberal nml pernicious
society, that should find no place under
our free Institutions.
We believe that tho highest and first
duty of our order is to organize our coun
trymen throughout tho lnnil and to unite
nnd band them together In our noble
order; thnt nt no time in the history of
our country wns organization nnd united
action more needed among our people
than at the present time, when our an
cient enemies, the descendants of the
Tories of HTd, are banded together all
over the land for the purpose of depriv
ing Catholics and more especially Irish
Catholics, of their civil and political
rights nnd of their freedom of conscience
which wns a heritage of every American
citizen, and which is the corner stouo of
our American liberties.
