Thero was not a big crowd present, but what thoro was of them gave tho pacer a great ovation as ho camo down towards tho wiro for tho word "go," shouted by Starter Culbcrtson, and hun dreds of watchos caught tho pacer at his start. Tho runner was at tho pacer's throat latch as they niado tho first turn on the strotch. Gentry went steadily and with apparont easo, tho runner having hard work keeping his position.

The Commission Details the Result of Its Investigation and Makes Recommenda tions Which Will be Embodied in a Bill For the Next Legislature. Mlno Inspectors William Stein, of town; IMwanl ltoderick, of Scrnnton, and IMward llrcnnan, of Shamokin, constituting tho com mission appointed by Governor Hastings to investigate tho Twin Shaft disaster nt I'itts ton, last June, In which fifty-eight lives were lost, formally submitted their oliiciul leport to tho Governor and Attorney General Mc Cormlck at liarrisburg yesterday and after accepting it tho Governor discharged tho committee with thanks. A bill will be ottered ill tho next Legislature to reimburso the Inspectors for their work. Their recommendations will bo embodied in n bill, which will also be Introduced iu the next Legislature, amending tho mining laws of the state so ns to throw greater safeguards around the miners. The leport states that tho "mud crack" discovered in front of a lioro liolo dislocated the roof stnita and tlds, witli some irregular ity iu tho formation uf tho pillars and tho chambers of No. ." vein, not being all verti cally over thoso iu No. (I, was tho original causo of the squeeze. The inspectors recom mend that where two veins nro so Intimate ns those at Twin Shaft, the upper vein should be mined first ; fur, oven with tho greatest cure taken to have chamber over chamber, tho partition rock is likely to full, taking the miner with it nnd killing him. Tho inspectors found evidenco that naked lamps wero used on tho night of thonccident. Tho character of tho squeeze and tlio lesults produced therefrom were such as lend them to presume that an explosion occurred. Tho report states that loss of life does not necessarily attend a mine squcezo if those whoso duty it is to direct will uso all precnu tions to prevent tho workmen from working under it. Tlio commission disperses all doubt and speculation as to tho personal responsibility of ollicials for the disaster in tlio following: "Although a squeeze did occur in the Twin Shaft colliery," tlio leport states, "Mine Superintendent Lnngaii, who had charge of tho work, erred in judgment in going so far into tho mlno from tho bottom of tho shaft. Having gone so fur from tho menus of es cape to make an examination of the squeez ing section of tho colliery, he put his men to work to arrest the squeeze which he may have considered local, and ho and his men worked for hours under the squeezing terri tory until the collapse came. So, without question of doubt, his enor of judgment was the cause of the loss of Ills own life, as well as of those subordinate to hiin. Mine Inspector McOon.ild cannot ill any way be held responsible for the accident, not having been notified of tlio squeeze by the mine superintendent." To guard against and prevent n ltpetitlon of such accidents as that at tho Twin Shaft, the commission recommends Hint tlio reserva tion pillars of coal be leftiiiiniined sectlonally through each Colliery of such diiiien-ions us will form tho position of two breasts or chambers between two leservation pillirs; that where more than one seam of coal is in operation reservation pillars of coal shall be formed in each seam, one vertically over tlio other, and whero such reservation pillars hnve not already been formed iu collieries now iu operation tho mine inspector shall have power to enfurco tho same, and no opening other than transportation and ven tilation avenues shall bo driven through those reservation pillars unless by permission of tho district mine inspector. Tlio commission also recommends that coal may be mined from theso reservation pillars on giving notice to tlio mine inspector, but not until in nil robbing may be begun and only whero tho surface conditions will permit of such mining ; should a squeeze occur it would bo confined to ono group of brensts or chambers; (should an explosion occur the effects of it would bo cuiitlucd to one par ticular group of breasts jr chambers. Lach group could bo ventilated separately and tho impurities from combustion and otherwise generated in each group could bo discharged into tlio return airway, which would give u purer and safer atmosphere for tlio men to breathe. When reservation pillars aro left tinder surface streams of water they should bo left uumincd unless it has been proved beyond a question of doubt that it is safe to mine them. Tho commission suggests that reservation pillars of coal should also bo left uumincd under surface streams nnd rivers, the width ot tlio pillar to be in propurtiou to the width of tlio streams or river and depth from the surface to the top of coal seam. Tho pillars let t under largo streams of water will pre vent tho surface or bed of tho stream from fracturing nnd Hooding the colliery, which has happened in tho history of coal mining. Another suggestion mado by the commis sion is that a skeleton map of each vein mined in every colliery shall bo furni-lied by the owners, operator or superintendent to the Mine Inspector, showing the course of all the air currents, in-takes nnd outlet, also the main and distributing duors nnd nveicnsts. Should any important or permanent change be made iu the course of the air tho Inspec tor should be untitled so that the rliungo shall be put upon his map. Should all the officials lose their lhts by accident, u at the Twin Shaft, thoso who might volunteer to assist iu rescuing the entombed men would bo better able to do so witli tho aid of such map. In al) colllorlos operating explosive gas, where tlio workmen alternately uso naked and safety lamps, tlio commission recom mends that they shall absolutely uso safety lamps.. Nearly all accidents from explosions of gas occur in collieries where tills pnictico is in use ami not iu collieries where tho workmen absolutely uso tho safety lamp. At Kepelilnskl'a Arcade Cain.
