THE BEAR RIDOE EXPLOSION.
Itt estliratloli Hlltm it Was Due lo I'll
llloldnble Accident.
The fatal explosion of gas at the West Itenr
Hidge colliery,' Jlahanoy Plane, on Monday
morning whereby William tjuinn, a fire Um,
and Michael llrazlll, a miner, met their
deaths, was the subject of inquiry at (tirard
vllle last evening by Deputy Coroner 1". O.
llleileraiid a Jury (omprlting Mom. Alfred
Kitto, foreman. John Green, Michael Gil
lespie, Thomas Green, Janios tavelle and
Thomas f. lloran, alt prominent reaiilenta of
tlirardville and men of considerable experi
ence In mine work.
Mlno Inspector Stein was in attentlanco
and upon reiiuest of the Deputy Coroner anil
jury coudiicted the examination of the wit
nesses and he made It an exhaustive one.
Tlie Inutiest was conducted upon the theory
that there had licen neglect somewhere, but
it waa clear that the position could not be
maintained.
John Kline, the inside foreman, was under
examination for threo-iiuartera of an hour.
He was not In the part of the mine where
the explosion occurred anil could only give
hearsay evidonce of the accident. His
theory was that the explosion was
occasioned by two slicks of dynamite
that were stale and had softened. Mr. Kline
explained that thase sticks were taken' into
the initio, on the I'riday before the accident.
They were put into one of two holes that
had been drilled In it breast and fresh sticks
wcro put in with them. His theory of the
explosion was that tho fresh sticks exploded
iu accordance with the arrangements, but
the other dynamite simply caught fire from
the exploded dynamite and burned liko
tabalcnu lights. This burned, Mr. Klino
thought, until gas which had been displaced
by the explosion came down and ignited.
After tho gas exploded tho chargo in tho
sicond holo exploded.
Quite a discussion took place between Mino
ln-pector Skin and Klino as to the duty of
file bosses to keep daily records of their
examinations. Kline snitl his fire bosses re
ported their examinations daily to him and
ho kept a record of them. Inspector Stein
said that was not sullicient and read from
article XII, page 40, section r, of the mine
laws, which reads as follows : "Every report
shall bo recorded without delay in a hook
which shall be kept at the colliory for tho
purpose and shall be signed by tho person
making the examination.
Mr. Kline said tliat had not been tho
interpretation of the law at tho colliory, but
he would see that each lire lioss keeps a book
of his own hereafter.
InsiHjctor Stein said it was not contended
that the omission had anything to do with
the accident ; ho only wanted to call attention
to tlie law in that respect, since the omissimi
nan uecn iitscovernt.
Joseph Koss, a minor, who was at work
breast No. 41, was tho next witness. The ex
plosion occurred in bieasts No. 42 and 13,
which are of a peculiar joint formation.
lie sain iiimscll ana His butty, lirazill, one
o,f the victims, were working in headings.
l.ach in a different one. lirazill got a nip
from tho fire boss to go down and told Poss to
ome down if tho fire boss should rap for
him. Foss' story from this point was of an
interesting and thiilling character. Ho
said, "I heard a shot and then I thought to
i ij'self it was all right; then I heard
a heavy fall. I became uneasy, fearing that

folt tho hreezn. T
IwaiUdtlBmtetTO then I went down
the breast When I breathed I thought
waluiug water was going down my throat. I
throw uiy lamp down and let myself fall
and when I got to the inanway I thought
ne water was thrown over mo it was
so colli. 1 crawled down the heavy pitch to
the gangway. I felt for tho gangway tloor in
the dark t sec if there wero any lights in
title, but the doors were blown open, so I
went luick towards the bottom of the slopo
and saw shadows of lights. I called out and
men came running in past wagons through
the ditch. I asked them where tho rest of
the people wcro. Just as they jumped on a
wagon to go up and see where the other men
were the other shut went oil'. Henry Krapp
ami lieoige Ilrainer worked in breast No. 43,
but they camo down to tho gangway beforo
the first shot was fired."
Henry krapp was called as a witness bo.
fore tho jury, but was not under examina
tiou long before it bocamo apparent that ho
was under the iulluouco of drink and ho was
ordered to leave the room. Krapp made
such an unfavorable impression upon tho jury
that it was decided to strike out his evidence.
hater in tho oveuiug Krapp made application
for le-admission to tlie room iu order that ho
might make a statement) hut tho jury rC'
fused to comply with the renuest. Krapp
then got into an argument at tho door with
the Deputy Coroner, claiming that that olll
cial had no authority to exclude him; that
the Mine Inspector was conducting tho in
quest. The Deputy Coi oner ended the con
troversy by tho otllcial clo.-ing tho door and
Krapp went uway indignant.
George Itrauier, Krapp's butty, niatlo a
statement iu whit It lie flatly contradicted
Krapp and said ou the morning of tho
accident William Quiun, tlie fire boss, locked
the safety lamps and told tho men tho places
wire all right.
The ovidenco showed that tho places wero
I'rto from gas and gas that ignited must have
Isieu circulated by the first shot; that if all
the ilualiu in that shot had exploded and part
of it hatl not burned there would have lieen
no explosion. The shots wcro exploded hy
ftinos from 10 to 12 feet long. It was admitted
that had (Jiiinu and llrazlll descended to the
gangway they would not have met death, but
this action tliu witnesses said was only
matter of Judgment. Somecxieripiiced miners
might consider it unnecessary to descend to
the gangway and had not some of the ilualiu
held fire tu explode the gas (Jiiinn and
Kmiill might have remained in tlie heading
they went into to escape the debris from tho
shot with safety. This opinion was con
en r toil in by Edward Davis, a former fire
how of the colliery, who has been mining for
fifty years. Ho was a witness lieforo the jury
The jury retidorod a verdict, finding that
(Jtiinn and lirazill met their deaths by ac-
iilent.

easily bo directed If tho sovBral commit

Hut more Important than nil Is tht'fact
that Senator Gorman, whose long ex
