Tho flat side of a piece of coal struck him on tbo top of tho bead. It did not fracture tho skull, or break the scalp, but caused severe contusions of tho brain. Wlille the man was at tho railway station, awaiting removal to the hospital, be became delirious, but was ablo to walk to tho train with assistance.

Coxe, and tho ruling lactor in tho anthracite coal trado. In acquiring possession of this road, tbo Lehigh Valley assumes all Indebtedness of tho D. 8. & S., tho stock and bonds of tho company having been transferred to the Lehigh Valley, This means that in tho future the Valley will central the bulk of tho carrying trade, from that region, and will bavo a fixed tonnage. Whilo this deal has not yet heon publicly announced, those on the Inner circles are well aware of it, and the final announcement will be made on the first of April.

II III Several of Them Were Severely Durned, Cut and Bruised, GANGWAY TIMBERS BLOWN OUT Some Men Escaped Safely In the Darkness Over Fallen Frops, collars and Coal. Others Hurled About Theory as to the Explosion Upon a Preliminary In vestigation. Special to Kvkninq Hebalu. Mahanoy City, Mar. 9. One of tho most disastrous explosions in the history of mln- ng operations In this district occurred at tho Mahanoy City colliery at ten o'clock this morning. There wore eleven victims in all, but only two aro considered fatally Injured. Tho victims are George Robenchuck, Michael Lenger, Andrew Hanza, Andrew Dudo, John Mills, Bernard Sloan, Stephen Siloski, John Junkett, John Klen, William F. SpotU and Patrick Brennan. Mills, Sloan and Brennan are Irishmen. Tho other victims are Hungarians, Lithuanians aud Poles. the iKJimiK. Brennan is tbo most seriously injured. He was employed as a driver. His Injuries con slst of a broken leg and serious burns of the head, faco and hands. It is feared he in haled tho flames. The victim lies in a criti cal condition at his homo in Hill's patch. John Junkett is another of tho victims supposed to be fatally injured. Ho is badly burned about tho head, face aud body, and probably internally burned. Tho injuries of the others aro: Bobeu chuck, chest, abdomen aud arms burned: Lenger, head and back burned and cut and bruised ; Hanza, two fingers and an arm broken ; Dudo, head, faco aud bands burned ; Mills, bruised about tho body, large cut over right eye, aud deep laceration of right leg ; Sloan, badly bruised about the arms aud several cuts on the face and hands; Silcski, bruised about the head, chest and arms j Klen, bruised about the face, chest aud urms ; Spotts, slight injuries. the explosion. Tho explosion occurred in tho west 7-foot gangway, third lift. There were two explos Ions and it is considered miraculous that the victims did not suffer worse fate. Several sets of timbeas were blown out and masses of coal fell, but fortunately none of the men wcro covered or struck by tho debris. A part ot tne gangway presents a badly wrecked ap pearauce. Seven of the men who aro named lu tho list of injured were employed as loaders lu the gaugway. Inside of the place where these men were working there were eight miners and laborers working for James Harper, a contractor. Theso men were severely shocked, but none of them complain ot other injuries. Their lights were blown out, but after tho explosion one of them succeeded in securing a safety lamp aud they crawled out over the fallen coal and timbers in the gangway. NO EXPLANATION. The officials of the colliery say they have learned but little as to the explosion and cannot say at present how the gas accumu lated in the place, or was ignited. Edward Golden, the fire bos. stated that he visited the place this morning, at the usual hour, and fouad no gas In tho gangway, or the adjoining breasts. A MINER'S VIEWS. John Mills gives the most Intelligent story of the accident thus far secured, but cannot say wuat causou ine explosion, ilo says there were two explosions. The second was the gruuest and knocked out the timbers Mills and Sloan worked in breast No. 78, Mills says that after firing ashot thlsmorning he and Sloan dressed down the breast. At about ten o'clock there was an awful explos, ion below. The two men fearod tho after. damp and went down from the face of tho breast to tho gangway, whore they inquired of some of the Hungarian loaders as to to cause and location of the explosion they had heard. The loaders could give no luforma tion, being evidently as ignorant of the par ticulars as the two miners. Mills and Sloan then started out the gang way, towards the foot of the slope, to a poiut where there was a door that conducted the air to the tunucl and gangways. The two meu found the door blown to pieces by tb force of tbo explosion. They then continued their walk outward, towards the foot, and had got about fifty yards from tho door when tboy observed two lights, At about tbo same Instant there was another terrific ex plosion. Mills and Sloan were thrown bodily Into tho air and against the collars. They were not disabled and quickly regained their feet. They then ran towards the foot of the slope, the same direction tbey were taking before the second explosion, and on their way out pasted two Hungarian miners, who were sitting on the rails. Mills and Sloan called to tho two miners to follow them and get out to the foot, for fear there might bo another explosion Whether the miners followed them, whether they were among the injured. Mills cannot say. The place where the two men were sitting on tho rail was about 300 yard out from the place where the loaders were injured. rUBTIIEB DETAILS. From a preliminary investigation of the gangway aud neighboring breasts this after noon, it is believed that the explosion was caused by a shot fired in breast No. 71 and breaking through into breast No. 73, which was not being worked, and in which a body of gas may nave accumulated. It Is pre sumed that when the gas took fire it traveled down the breast aud along the gangway, which caused the burning of the men iu the latter place. Georgo Bobenchuck aud Michael Leuger wore engaged in driving ncaulug from breast No. 74 to No. 73. All the injured men are being attended their respective homes by the local pbysi cians, TRUE BILLS RETURNED. Tho Newhouser, Iterrock and Prriltiiky Cnses to be Tried. I'ottavllle, March 9. The Grand Jury re turned a number of true bills, among them several against residents of Shenandoah. One was a true bill against Charles w. New bouser, the retail grocer, who la charged by Catherine Joyce, of Lost Creek, with as sault and battery to rob. It Is alleged that Mrs. Joyce and another woman were cus tomers at Newhouser's store. When they left It Newhouscr followed them and made search for an article he claimed to havo missed, but did not find It on their persons. The women then caused tho grocer's arrest. A true hill was also found against Michael Hcrroek, charged with the murder of Michael Nicholas in a shanty at tho West Bear Ridgo colliery several weeks ago. Tho two men orked together. One night Nicholas wo found beaten into insensibility and ho died at tho Miners' hospital without having re covered sufficiently to tell his story. Iferrock says four tramps committed the crime. Tho Commonwealth maintains the theory that nerrocK committed the deed to secure a lane sum of money the victim carried with him. The mouoy has not been found. Tho oase ill be tried this term.

The bribery In vestigating committee resumed Its sit ting Inst night in the house judiciary general committee room. A great crowd was present In anticipation of sensa tional developments in connection with the consideration In the house of the Me Carrell jury bill. The examination of, the witnesses wan conducted by Kcpre (tentative John II. l-'ow, of Philadelphia, chairman of the committee. Itcprescntatlve Irvln N. Johnston, ot Northampton, the first witness called. testified that before the passago of the bill he had a conversation In a room at the Lochia) hotel with ex-Senator John J. Coyle. Ilo went to the room with his colleague. Representative B. Frank Miller, lit the latter's suggestion, and found Representative Spatr of Berks and Itoscnberry of Montgomery, and possibly some others, present. Mr. Johnston wan introduced to Coyle, and he and Miller were left alone with him. Coyle had a typewritten paper, the sub stance of which was that the Democrat would vote for nobody else than George A. Jenks or United States senator. Coyle asked Johnston to sign the paper, and told him he would leave the wit ness "in on some other bills that wonld come np." Johnston said he refused to sign the paper because he and Miller were for Jenks anyway. Coyle sug gested to Johnston that he would have him appointed on the committee on rules, and he refused. Coyle then promised to have the witness appointed on the ap propriations committee. ' "What wai the amount of money of fered?" asked Mr. Fow. Messrs. Voorhces and Kreps objected to the question. Mr. Fow then asked If there was money mentioned at the meet ing, and the witness replied, "There was." Coyle told Johnston, who Is a physician, that he was not feeling well, and that if he would write him a pre scription he (Coyle) would pay him a fee of either $50 or $100 to sign the paper, the witness could not recollect the exact amount. Coyle urged John ston to sign the paper, and he refused, Nothing was said about voting for any thing or mentioned about legislation, except that the witness should keep on voting for Jenks. Coyle told Johnston that there would be bills up later In the session In which there "would be money," nnd that Coyle would "let him In on them." The witness thought th-i McCarrcll bill was mentioned, but John ston could not recollect. Johnston and Miller saw Coyle subsequently at the Lochlel hotel, nnd the ex-senntor of fered an amount of money to support the McCnrrclI bill before the postpone ment. Johnston said that in his conversation with Coyle it may have been suggested that Coyle would like him to vote for Senator Quay. Mr. Miller corroborated the testimony of his colleague relative to their visits to Coyle's room, nnd stated that on their first visit they went to see Coyle in ronipnny with Representa tives Hoch, Ileil und Ilersch. They went to Mr. Spatz's room first, and from there, conducted by Spntz, to Coyle's room, and introduced. Miller told of the paper that Johnston wns nxketl to sign, but could not recollect that anything was said about bills thnt were to "come up" in the legislature. Miller told Coyle that he would consider before he signed the paper. When Miller saw Coyle th second time the ex-senator took him Into a private room, hut the witness could not recollect what wns said. Miller said that Heprebcntatire Rosen berry advised him not to sign the paper, because there was money In it. Miller was called out of Coyle's room, and he and Johnston were offered $50 apiece by Representative Spatz to sign the paper. Spatz afterward called Miller aside and offered him $100. After the offer was made Miller and Johnston left the hotel. Tlie next time Miller suw Coyle the ex senntor asked Jiim "what It would cost to help him out on the McCarrell bill." Miller said thnt Coyle spoke about "coming In with the boys," aud that peo ple often build brick houses when they go home from the legislature. "In order to get in the ring and get a divvy on cer tain bills Coyle told (is we would Jinve to sign the paper," Miller ndded. The witness said Coyle met him luter in com pany with his colleague and remarked thnt he would be very glad to have them help hint out. . The witness said he wnj told by Ooyle that lie could name a prica to vote for the MrCnrrell bill. Miller ex plained thnt the paper contained u clause that the signers were to stund together for certnln legislation in addition to voting for Jenks. Miller was uever made any offer by Coyle or anybody else to vote for Senator Quay. Representative Ileil, of Northampton, testified that he wn.1 offered $50 by Spat to sign the paper to stand by Jenks for senator, and that he refused, Spatz took witness to Coyle's room, where Ileil was asked by Coyle to sign the paper, and he refused. Ileil wns not naked to vote for the McCarrell bill, but was told by Coyle that if he would bign the paper ho (Coylej "would help him on other things." Representative Ilersch, of Montgom ery, said he made a friendly call to Spatz's room on invitation of Represent ative Hock, of Berks, and that the Mc Carrell bill was discussed while he was present. Witness said he wns asked by somebody what he could do for the bill, and he replied that he could do nothing. Coyle never sjioke to Ilersch about the bill. Coyle Suy It'a a Lie, Uarrlsburg, March 0. Ex-Senator John J Coyle, formerly of Schuylkill county, makes this stahment: "It was my iutention and desire to uo before the committee and meet my accusers faco yx face, but owing to the aruftrariueea of Chairman Fow, I am now denied that right. Consequently my defense will ho reserved nntil it can be made before a proper tribunal. Iam prepared for that test, and the sooner it comes the better I will be Dleased. I can onlv sav nt thla time that the testimony given last night to the effect that I attempted to corrupt or bribe any one is an absolute lie, aud that I can prove It W le e a.to,ty time," MAX LEVIT S.
