THE PAPPEUT CASE.
Ait Inquest Hispid tltn ltinnors of Toiil
IMay.
Di puty Coroner Thomas II. Mauley and a
jury last night held an inquest in the ciuo of
John Pappert, tlie young man who was killed
by n train 011 the l'hl'adelplila mid Heading
rail Mid on Saturday night.
ltinnors gained circulation that there was
evidence of foul play In tho case and that
one oT the train's crew was ready lo swear
that when he pulled the body of thu victim
fiom beneath the train I was cold and rigid.
No such evidence was developed at the In
quest. Hut, although lite trainmen expressed
the conviction that tho deceased was killed
by the train, tho Jury decided to withhold
its verdict until this cvoniitg to give time lor
any now development heforo finally dis
posing of tho rase. Nothing new is ex
pected, however.
Tho witnesses examined at the inquest
were .Samuel Hailey, of Fruckvllle, engineer;
(leorge Wugonseller, Fraekville, fiieman ;
Daniel T. llepler, Fraekville, brakeniaii ;
lleher Conner, Mnhanoy Place, brakeui'iti :
Joseph Dewey. .Mnhanoy Plane, hrakcitiHit,
and Thomas Thompson, Preston Junction,
conductor.
The engineer testified that ills engine, No.
533, was pushing a trip of about fllteen
empty co.il cars between tho Pennsylvania
railroad trestle and the crossing at the Shen
andoah City colliery at a speed of from live
to six miles an hour when ho received 11
signal to stop and he did so. He said he was
blowing his whistle for tho crossing when ho
received the signal.
Tho firemen and hrakeineii confirmed the
statement of the engineer ns to the speed of
tlie train, the blowing of the whistle and tho
signal to stop mid Holier Conner said he
found Hie remains with the head lying 011
tho uast rail ami tho body was lying outside
the track. He said he was III tho net of
stooping lo pull tho body away when tho car
hit him on the shoulder and knocked him
away. Some young men were in the vicinity
and witness called one of them, who promptly
identified the victim and t;ave his name and
addiess.
Conductor Thompson suld iho accident oc
curred at 11:0.-1 o'clock ami after Pappert was
killed witness noticed some young men lying
at the side of the track near tlie fence.
Witness kicked one of them several times to
arouse him and get 'nine information, hut
failed. Tlie young man witness tried to
arouse was in his sliiit sleeves and had been
observed by witness during tho evening serv
ing beer from a keg at tho place. Tho wit
ness said lie pulled the victim from tho track.
The head was lying on thu rail iiid four
wheels had passed over it.

Creek, adults, ladies and cadets; St. Patrick,
.Mahanoy Plane, adults mid cadets mid St.
Patrick, Shamokin, ladies. Tho reports of
tho various committees wero decidedly en
couraging in showing material gains in
membeiship all around. Under tho head of
new business a general discussion oil the
wurk of tho Union declined and was full ol
interesting matter relative to tlie work being
done. Mahanoy Plane was Folcctnl as the
next meeting place. 11. J. Mctiinnis, of (ilr
ardville, was appointed delegate to reprcscni
the district in the statu convention at Stcel-
toti.
Very Time Itemeily.
Tho Philadelphia Times has no better
remedy to suggest for the evils that atllict
tho coal regions than depopulation. The
coal mining ami carrying companies, it prac
tically says, have no particular interest in
tliis legion; tlioy would rather carry a small
amount of anthracite at a high rate of ton
nage, than a larger amount at a less rate mid
make no more, and tho only thing to do is
for our peoplo to get out until the niimhei
about tho mines is reduced to tho amount
who can secure regular employment.
