SOUND MONEY YAS THE KEYNOTE Democrats Join Republicans to Make Success Certain. EYEN HIGHEST HOPES EXCEEDED The Groeii Mountain stato Declared For Josiali Grout, For Governor, and For the . Republican Stato Ticket Entlro by a Majority That Equaled the Pre diction of the Most Confident. Wiiiti: Hivei; Junction, Vt Sept. 2. Tho Itcpubllcuu lunjorlty In tlio old Green Mountain Stnte, tlio first in tho Union In which tlio pcoplo huvo had tlio opportunity to voto squarely on tho Issues between tho Republican and Popocratlc parties for this year, is climbing beyond ull calculations and precedents. It now promises to be anywhere from 33,000 to 40,000, although so many un expected gains aro coining in that calculation ha3 stopped and hopes which seemed absurd yesterday aro being exceeded. Voters seemed to feel that tho responsi bility of uttering tho sentiment of tho country was upon them. Republicans and Democrats both knew that Republican vic tory in the stato was certain, but tho Dem ocrats hero havo been for years proud of their position as tho pluckiest and most faithful of all their party in holding their faith In tho faco of overwhelming odds. This time, however, many of thorn scorned to havo real pleasure in helping tho Repub licans to pllo votes in the boxes against freo silver, freo trade and tho boy orator. From every part of tho stato tho samo story comes. Men of both rartics who had not been to tho polls in years turned out to voto tho Republican ticket. This was notably tho caso among tho farmers, who expressed their resentment of tlio state ment that they wore tainted with 1(1 to 1 ideas by coming to the polls from tho most remoto back districts. Tho rejoicing as tho returns como In is shared by Democrats and Republicans. They seem equally proud that their stato has spoken so decisively. Tho Green Mountain stuto declared fur .Ins'lnh Urout, Kopubllcnn, of Derby, for Governor vostcrdar and for tho Kenubll etui state ticket entire by n majority that equaled tho prediction of tho most contl dent Kepublicnn malingers. Hot urns from tho distant towns nro, as usual, rather slow In coming In, hut tho count in nil sections of tho stato shows substantial Re publican gains and Indicating that tho majority of tho Kopubllenn stato ticket will lio about 110,000. This Is tho largest majority nvor given for a governor in this stare, tho nearest approach to It being In 1S8S, when tho majority was 27,018. Tho Hepulillean leaders claim that tho major lty may reach 35,000, and oven 37,000. H. Henry Powers, the Republican con gressional candidate In tho First district. and William W. Grout in tho Second, nro both re-elected by Increased majorities, and tho stato scnato and houso uro In tho control of tho Republicans by practically tho same majority us two yearn ago. The weather gonorally was cool and fair throughout tho stato, and brought out hundreds of Republican votets who havo not been to tho polls for years. Practi cally tho full Uonubllcan voto was cast. On tho other hand tho lack of organiza tion In the Democratic ranks was very apparent. Many Democrats who do not Indorse tho platform of tho Chicago con ventlon remained uwny from tho polls, while tho more dissatisfied ones voted for tho Republican ticket. Tho Populist and Prohibition voto was practically tho sumo us four years ago. Tho ticket elected follows: Governor, Joslah Grout of Derby; Ueutonaut gov ernor, Nelson W. Fisk of Islo La Motto; stato treasurer, Henry F. Flow or Rutland; secretary of stato, Chauncey W. llrownell of Ilurllngton; stato auditor, Franklin D. Halo of Lunenburg t congressmen, II.

Mine Inspectors Stein, Roderick and llren nan, the commissioners appointed by Gover nor Hastings to investigate tlio Twin shaft disaster at I'lttston, will picsent their report to the Governor about tlio middle of this month. After giving the hlstuiy of the mine, tho facts and circumstances leading up to the cuve-ln and tho methods pursued to recover tho bodies, the report will stato that Superintendent Laugan, unfortun ately one of the men entombed, erred in judgement In allowing the men to work in the midst of the squee.o on that fatal Sun day morning. Further it will say that even though there wero no squeeze, it was not safe to work In tlio mines at that time on account of tho dangerous bodies of gas which sud denly appeared. The report will not censnro Mine Inspector McDonald. It will argue that as Mr. McDonald had half a hundred col lieries to look after, it could not bo expected that ho could visit any one or more of them every week or two. Tlio report so far may bo summed up as follows: 1. Description of the mine and its pillars, chambers and gangways theory of the defect lu the strata by dislocation: 2, the superintendent erred in judgment in allow ing the men to go down with such a danger ous squeeze in progress and witli such a sudden appearance of gas; 3, the operators cannot bo held responsible for the piescnco of tho men there at that ti mo; I, Mine Inspector McDonald cannot bo held responsi ble liecauso ho was not informed of tho seriousness of tho squeeze. Tho report will recommend that the num ber of inspectors bo increased, or that there be assistants; that operators aud the inspec tor confer ns to tho manner of working the mine, that tho working of tho initio should bo from tho foot to tlio head, and not from tho head to the foot. That gangways be driven from tho shaft into tho coal and then start to work from tho end of tho gangway Into tho shaft. Tho commission will insist that this last recomuicudution bo embodied in a law.

SECURED THROUGH CULM FILLING The Mine Still Contains at Least Five Hundred ThousandTons of Coal and tho P. & R. C. & I. Co. Expects to Tako Out Ninety Per Cent, of It, Ono of the most emphatic exemplifications of tho great advantage secured In coal mining operations through the medium of culm as a substitute for solid coal in a support for the earth's stirfiuu is given by the opera tions now In progress In a part of the In dian Ridgo , collier- workings, formerly known as tho l'lauk Ridgo mine. Several years ago this part of tip mines was prac tically abandoned, but now It Is again under operation and bids fair to send out coal for many years to come. District Superintendent J. J. Dradlgan was met this morning shortly after having visited and inspected tlio workings nnd from htm It was learned that a colliery which mis sup posed to have 1 cell draiucd of all tlio coal that could bo taken out without gtoat damage to tho surface, has again become a big producer. About three years ago the 1'. & R. C. & I. Co. started to tako out a lied of coal by robbing on the west gangway from the Indian Ridgo shaft on tho north dip for a distance on tho 'itch of 210 feet, a width of 00 feet, n width of 200 feet and a heiglith of 13 feet. This was so successfully acromplishtd that, in the language of the oliicials, not a shovel full of coal was left behind or lost. The company is now running culm into this great space from the l'lank Ridgo jig homo recently erected for the purpose. This tilling will bo completed in about a month and then a second section of tho mine will bo robbed in tho samo manner in which the sec tion now being filled with culm was worked. llio operation Is ono of tho most successful fillings ever inado in tho Anthracite region and no less than 00 per cent, of the coal that was left behind years ago when the colliery was supposed to havo been worked out will bo taken to tho surfacoaud shipped to market. Without tho filling tlio work could never have been under taken, as tho removal of the coal would have pulled down the surface above the l'lank Ridgo mines supporting many valuablo priM cities, the Lehigh Valley railroad double track and tho Shenandoah creek. Super intendent Ilradigau says the culm now being introduced will all'ordasfinn a support fur the surface as tho natural ono afforded by the bed of coal. It is estimated that there aie at least 300,000 tons of coal in the workings and itisns lino a quality of tho Mammoth vein over found In tlio Anthracite world. The company expects to get fully I5o,u0o tons of it, so that when the work is completed almost the entlro support of the earth's surface in that section will consist of culm. It will tako abuiit ten years to get the coal out. At present 10 men aro employed in tho place, but this number is much increased as the filling progresses to a stage that permits tho work of robbing to bo resumed. This work is carried on in tlio manner as places bavin natural supports, or pillars aro robbed. Kendrh-k House i-'reo l.uuch. Vegetable soup to-ulght.
