At abeut 1:30 o'clock lat evening somo
miners In the Maple Hill colliery llrcd what
they culled their Kod night blast In a breast.
They were about to leave when one of thorn
discovered flro In the place where the shot
had been fired. The men hurriod out and
notified the boss and arrangements were
made to put the fire out, which nas accom
plished shortly after six o'clock.
The fire was put out with two Babcock ex
tinguishers and tho work was directed by
Division Superintendent Rcos TaBkerj Will
iam Richards, superintendent of tho Muha-
noy district, nnd James McDonald, superin
tendent bf the St. Nicholas district. A corps
of fire bosses was also upon tho scene.
Tho firo was in io. 31 breast. No. 1 plane,
south dip of the West Iluck Mountain gang
way. It did little damage Aftor tho flro
was extinguished un investigation Miowed
that tho firing of the good night shot had
ignited a little gas which was lodging in the
op of th vein. This gas was ignited nnd
the flro communicated with a pieco of can
vass and tho hoards of tho manway.
News of the lire spread through tho neigh
boring patches like wild fire, but it was al
most six o'clock before It reached town. The
report that Maple Hill colliery was on fire
caused no littlo excitement, as it is one of the
largest and latest improved mines in the
region. Mlno Inspector Stein drove to the
colliery without awaiting abatement in the
sevcro snow storm that prevailed at tho time,
but the lire was extinguished before his
arrival.

Guesses nt lo (be Verdict on the Maine
Disaster.
A FLOATING SUBMARINE MINE,
It Is Believed by Naval Officers at Havana
and Key West, Caused the Awful
Catastrophe-Perhaps the Re
sult of Ignorance or
Carelessness.
Havana, via Key West, March 3.
Without adding unnecessarily to the
liood of surmise, conjecture and proph
ecy concerning- the finding of the court
of Inquiry, It is fair to Bay that, as a
matter of fact, most of the naval of
ficers here and at Ley West Incline to
the opinion that the court will find
that the disaster to tho Maine was
caused by the explosion of a floating
submarine mine under the port side
of the ship, forward of amidships.
Opinions differ as to whether this
mine was made of high explosives,
such as wet and dry gun cotton, or
ordinary gunpowder. Opinions agree,
not only as to the oxlstenco of mines
in the harbor, but also that this one
was laid purposely near the buoy
where foreign war vessels were di
rected to moor, and was fired by a
flash from an electrlo battery on shore.
It is believed rarely possible that the
explosion of the mine was the result
of carelessness or ignorance of Spanish
officers in charge of the mine station
keys when testing the circuit, but the
latter supposition 13 not felt to be
probable. It is further regarded as
settled by the evidence before the court
that the port side of the hull forward
was completely blown to pieces, and
that the only explosion on the Maine,
except of isolated cases of fixed am
munition, was that of 2,000 pounds of
saluting powder stored forward, and
of which no trace can be found.
These views are gathered from of
ficers, who talk with great reserve, and
only upon the assurance that their
Identity will never be revealed. The
fact remains that only the members
of the court of inquiry know all the
testimony elicited, and no one Is au
thorized to make public the opinion of
members In advance of the final judg
ment. A good deal of surprise was express
ed by Americans here on learning that
Spanish divers were to be permitted to
make an examination of the wreck of
the Maine, especially as It was also
said that the American naval officers
here would give such, divers all con
sistent facilities and would throw no
obstacles In the way of thorough sub
marine Inspection, It was not at first
understood, as It came to be later, that
the Spanish search was to be en
tirely independent, and that while It
was being made the American Investi
gation would proceed under Captain
Slgsbee's supervision. As understood
here, the Spanish request made Im
mediately after the disaster for a Joint
investigation was promptly refused at
Washington, but after a cabinet con
sultation It was agreed that the Span
lards had a moral and International
right to discover the cause of the
wreck for themselves If possible. There
fore, permission for an Independent
examination was granted on the
ground, as understood here, that it
could not be refused to a friendly
power In her own harbor. That the
permission was not accorded until af.
ter the court of inquiry had finished
Its work here and gone to Key West
Is regarded as significant. It opens
a wide field for speculation.
Some assert that the court now has
no objection to a Spanish inquiry for
one of two reasons: Either the court
has sufficient evidence already of ac
cident or malice evidence that can
not be controverted by the Spaniards
or after a diligent search the mystery
remains as deep as ever, and the court
does not think the Spanish will reach
a conclusion where tho Americans
have failed.
Of course all this refers principally
to Inspection of parts of the ship other
than the hull. Until the guns, decks,
engines and debris of all kinds have
been removed and the mud has been
pumped from the hull It cannot be
examined thoroughly by any one. Some
good authorities think It will be neces
sary to build a coffer dam around the
wreck, piles being driven, etc.
That any Important testimony before
the court has found Its way to the
public Is very unlikely. Some of the
witnesses have told certain corre
Bpondents of alleged testimony, but
in every case Investigation has showed
their stories to be widely Improbable
and controverted by known facts or
else absolutely Irrelevant.
THE COUItT OF INQUIRY
Finishes Its Workat Koy West Itendy
to Roturu to Ilavnnn.
Key West, Fla., March 3. The
Maine's court of inquiry yesterday af
ternoon went out to the barracks,
where all the survivors of the Maine
were mustered. The men were asked
If they had any changes or further
statements to make, Not a word
came from the ranks, nnd after a wills-
pered consultation the work of the
court of Inquiry at Key West came to
nn end. The stenographers were kept
busy during the rest of the afternoon,
and caught up with their notes of the
testimony. The proceedings at the
barracks lasted about an hour only,
and were conducted with great privacy,
Judge Advocate Marlx, In reply to
Inquiry, said that so far as he knew
the court has no more work to do at
Key West.
The Mangrove Is lying at her dock
with steam up, but It Is said on good
authority that the members of the
court will not leave until they receive
Instructions through Hear Admiral
Slcard from Washlgton as to whether
they shall return at once,
to Havana.
Apparently the court has
gained little
Information during the Kby West sea
slons which could help exblaln the ex
plosion. I
Mayor Maloney Issued
a proclama-
tlon to the citizens of Kj
y West yes
terday asking them to res
;ect Admiral
Slcard's wishes to have the funnrai or
tne Maine's victims a private function.
He said, however, that when nil the
heroes had finally been Interred some
public demonstration might be In keep
ing, Commander McCalla decided to
reduce the funeral detail to the small
est possible possible number.
WIDENER FOR GOVERNOR.
A Suddon ltovlvnlof tlin Philadelphia
MIllIounlro'K Doom.
Philadelphia, March 3. Following
the talk of an effort toward reconcilia
tion between Quay and Magee and
Martin, a remarkable revival ot the
boom for P. A. C Wldener, ot this
city, for governor, was spread broad
cast among the political gossips yes
terday. The Wldener boom originally
P. A. B. WIDENER.
made Its appearance at the Republican
state convention at Harrlsburg last
year, and flourished mildly for a time,
but Anally dropped out of sight just
as the agitation In favor of Congress
man Stone began to take definite shape.
That there Is something substantial
nnd practical back of this renewed
talk of Wldener In connection with the
gubernatorial nomination Is evidenced
by recent lively interest taken In the
subject by Republicans even In remote
sections of the state. One of the orig
inal members of the Ward Leaders'
League declares that Quay, Martin and
Magee agreed upon Wldenqr for gov
ernor months ago.

the very lowest prices that tho goods can be
