VOL. VIII. NO. 76.
THE INVESTIGATION ON
.INQUEST JURY TRYING TO LEARN
ABOUT THE ACCIDENT.
D. 8. & S. Employes Give an Account of
the Explosion of Engine No. 4—Shop
Men and Mechanics Testify as to the
Condition of the Holler.
The jury appointed by Deputy Coro
ner McCoombs to investigate the acci
dent on the D. S. & S. Railroad began
its work on Monday evening at Hazle
ton. All of the witnesses have not yet
testified, but tho following, from the
Plain Speaker , gives the proceedings as
far as they have yet progressed.
The first witness heard was Henry
Tully, the rear end braketnan, who es
caped injury. He said: "I reside at
Freeland and am a brakeman in the em
ploy of the D. S. & S. on a mixed train.
Was on tho train drawn by Engine No.
4 which exploded. The accident occur
red at Gum Run tower. No person ex
cept the crew assigned to conduct the
train was on the train. Chambers was
found twenty-five feet from tho engine.
His eyes rolled, but he did not speak.
Jonas Stewart was found three hundred
foot from the tower. Rrakeman Boyle
was discovered about the same distance
from the engine as Chambers. Frank
O-Doniicll was found on the west side of
tho track. "I fired for Chambers for
three years and have braked during the
past three weeks. There were nine cars
in tho trip. Tho engine was not over
worked, nor running at a high rate of
speed, probably betweon four and five
miles per hour. The road is in good
condition at that point. She was on tin
road about four years, having been built
at the Baldwin Locomotive Works, Phila
delphia." In aqswor to an interrogu
tion Mr. Tully stated that nine cars, the
number which constituted the trip, was
an unusual number. It carried gener
ally about 135 to 140 pounds of steam.
William 11. Goyno was next sworn.
Ho is a resident of Fern Glen and looks
.after tho boilers, pumps, etc., at the
Derringer colliery. Ho testified: "I
was about a mile from the accident and
went immediately to tho sceno accom
panied by Stephen Singly, it was first
thought that a powder magazine had ex
ploded. Saw ail the dead bodies after
the explosion. First saw two bodies ly
ing west of the engine and saw the four
in the tower. I noticed that tho crown
shoot was bulged between the stay bolts.
It would indicate that tho accident was
duo to no water being in the boiler, al
though nothing definite can be stated as
the direct cause. Tho stay bolts were
nearly ail pulled out, several of which I
noticed were weak, although none of
tho weak ones were broken. Some of
them were reduced in size and quite a
number wore considerably reduced. If
is possible that i.t was caused by water
contaminated by sulphuric acid. No
cause other than that of a lack of-water
can be. attributed to the explosion. Did
not consider the boiler in extra good
condition. They receive water at No. 4
Tomhiekon. Nothing could reduce tin
size of the stay bolts other than bad
water."
E. J. Minnich, of Tomhickcn, next
took the stand. He is a carpenter fore
man at the Tomhickcn colliery. "Upon
my arrival," he said, "1 witnessed the
dead bodies of the crew, and assisted in
their removal. The-accident occurred
about 1.20 o'clock. Am v connected in no
way with the working of the road."
The next witness sworn was 11. W.
Pettit, of Nuremberg, who was in the
Gum Run yard inspecting cars, in which
vocation lie is employed. Was only
about 300 yards from the oxplosion.
Never inspected engine N0.4, only repair
ed th 3 brake at one time. Partly exam
ined the boiler after the accident. Saw
the bulge mentioned by Mr. Goyne, also
the pour condition of the stay bolts.
The broken ones were located near the
mud ring. It may havo bulged many
weeks before the fatal day.
W. L. Richards, of Woodside, foreman
of the Drifton boiler shops, took the
stand, and stated that he had inspected
the boilers. An order from Daniel
Coxe that the boilers should be inspect
ed every two weeks was never recalled.
Inspected the boilers by steain power at
140 pounds pressure instead of water
power. The practice was discontinued
six months ago. The engine was put in
the shops on February 5 and was taken
out on February 10, at which time thir
ty-one bolts wero put in. When a bolt
is discovered broken about three are
taken out and now ones inserted. No
engine should run when two or- three
bolts aro broken. The bolts are tested
with a hammer. The engine has been
used contiuually for four years. Saw
no bad bolts in the crown sheet, but did
see some near the mud ring. They were
all new breaks excepting fifteen. The
tubes were all right when tested. Bad
water will eat the bolts in the manner
described. His opinion is that the ex
plosion was caused by a want of water.
Did not know whether the engineers aro
examined.
William Miller, of Freoland, an em
ploye at the--Drifton boiler shops and
inspector of stay bolts in the engines of
the D. S. & S., Inspectod No. 4 on Febru
ary 5 when fifteen bolts were condemned
and thirty-one new ones put in. Did not
see engine afterTho explosion and can
form no opinion as to the cause of the
disaster. Can inspect the bolts in an
engine in half an hour if they are all
right. He thinks the engine should have
been examined in the meantime.
Supt. L. C. Smith, of the I). S. fe S.
Railroad sinco November 1, 1895, was
sworn. He has chargo of the rolling
stock. Ho issued an order when he
assumed charge that every locomotive
should be inspected at least once a month
and depends upon the master mechanic
to fulfill the orders. An analysis of the
feed water was made and found that it
contained sulphuric acid. His opinion is
that there was an abnormal pressure on
the boiler, causing the accident. The
grade at that point is seventy-nine feet.
Sherman, the operator at Gum Run
station, which was about 30 feet from
the scene of the disaster, worked at re
pairing the wires in order to message the
account of the accident and to summon
aid. Ho is employed by the Pennsyl
vania, but receives orders for the I). S.
& S.
Adjourned until this evening at 8
o'clock.
Poud Says We Can "Go to H."
On Monday afternoon, acting under
advice of the borough solicitor and the
street committee of council, Burgess
McLaughlin notified the officers of the
Lehigh Traction Company to remove
the snow on Centre street, from South
to Carbon, which was shoveled off the
car tracks by the company's employes
ind piled on either sido in away that
blockaded the street. They were also
notified that unless the snow was re
moved by Wednesday morning the work
would be done by tho borough and
charged to the company.
When tho burgess called at the Trac
tion office with his message he found
t lat General Manager Markle was out
of town. Ho then saw Secretary E. S.
Doud, who, upon reading the notice, ex
claimed: "What does this mean? The
people of Freeland do not own tho
streets, and tho Traction Company does
not make tho snow, and anyhow we do
not gain anything from the people of
Freeland, as for every nickel we get
Freeland merchants get 310."
The burgess informed Mr. Doud that
he did not go there to discuss that mat
ter with him but to fulfill his duty. He
was then told by the Traction secretary
to tell the people of Freeland to "go to
Yesterday afternoon a force of men
and teams were put on and tho snow re
moved. Tho outcome of this trouble
will be watched with great interest by
the residents of the borough.

DRIFTON ITEMS.

FREELAND, PA., THURSDAY, MARCH 19, IS9O.
THE BIG CELEBRATION.
GREATEST ST. PATRICK'S DAY IN
FREELAND'S HISTORY.
A Large Parade of the Catholic Societies
of Town and Vicinity, Followed by a
Lecture at the Opera.House and a Hall
in the Evening.
Preeland's celebration of St. Patrick's
Day on Tuesday was as creditablo as
any demonstration that ever took place
in the history of the town. Only on one
occasion previous, 'October 10, 1883,
when the C. T. A. societies of Luzerne
and Lackawanna counties paraded here,
was there a larger number in line, and
at no timo was a better showing made
by any body of men than on Tuesday
afternoon. - The weather was all that
could bo desired for parading. A heavy
snow fell the day before, but this was
beaten down easily, and the march over
the route was accomplished without
trouble. The sun shone beautifully
from early in the morning, making the
day very comfortable for spectators and
paraders.
The various societies had made ample
preparations for the event, and the
demonstration passed off with nothing
tomarit. Tho ranks of the Irish-Ameri
can and temperance organizations wore
well-filled, and the invited societies, con
sisting of the Hungarian, Polish, Aus
trian and Italian Catholic people, helped
to swell the number in line, and they vied
with the sons and daughters of Erin in
honoring the famous saint.
To the Green Men, however, is duo a
great deal of the credit for the success
ful celebration. They came out to a
man from every town in St. Ann's
parish, and their gaily decorated
marshals, captains and lieutenants ad
ded attractiveness to the occasion. The
societies of Eckley were also a creditable
addition to the parade.
The handsome float which was fitted
up by Freelaud Green Men received
favorable comment along the lino. It
represented''lreland and America," and
was tastily arranged. "The Maid of
Erin" was Miss Cassie Boyle, and Miss
Annie Hagerty was "The Goddess of
Liberty." "Uncle Sam" and "The
Minstrel Boy" wore also given prominent
positions.
There were 1,177 men and boys in line.
The stars and stripes and the green were
entwined everywhere, and the stirring
breeze that was blowing brought out the
beauty of "Old Glory" and the "Sun
burst" throughout the lino of parade
and on hundreds of dwellings and busi
ness places.
THE LECTURE.
When the parade was over the doors
of the Young Men's opera house were
thrown open and nearly 500 peoplo filed
in to hear the address of P. J. Finn, of
Sonoca Falls, N. Y., who spoko upon
"Irish Loyalty to the American Repub
lic," under the auspices of Divisiou 10,
A. O. 11.
The speakor was introduced in a few
well chosen words by Chairman James
F. Sweeney. Mr. Finn thanked the A.
V. J. FINN.
O. 11. for giving him the opportunity of
addressing the peoplo of Frceland, after
which lie entered upon his subject and
gave a pleasing and instructive address.
Starting back at the dark days of the
revolution, he followed the course of the
American republic to the present time,
presenting hundreds of historical facts
as instances of Irish loyalty to our coun
try.
He proved conclusively that the antag
onism to the Irish and Catholic people
at the present day had no foundation
other blind bigotry, and appealed
to all classes of men," without regard to j
race or creed, to give this liberty-loving
race the credit they doservo and to
frown upon the attempts of vicious or
ganizations to stir up sectarian strife in
the United States.
Mr. Finn showed himself to be thor
oughly conversant with the subject
chosen, and he expressed himself in lan
guage which gave evidence of refine
ment, education and ability, and to
which no man could take offense. As
he recalled, one after another, the noble
deeds performed by his peoplo and their
descendants, in establishing and main
taining the union, ho was greeted with
round after round of applause.
Unfortunately, another engagement
at Scrtfhton that evening prevented him
from delivering the address in its en
tirety, and he.had to close to tako the
4.34 o'clock train for that city. How
ever, before doiug 90, he touched briefly
upon national topics of tho day, includ
ing the Cubans' struggle for freedom
and tho Venezuelan dispute, and his
sentiments and words were cheered
lustiy by the audience.
Following Mr. Finn came a class of
parochial school children, who rendered
the laughable ono-act comedy, "A Public
Benefactor." It was given in tho thor
ough and perfect style that marks the
training of these pupils, and their work
was highly appreciated.
The ball of tho St. Patrick's Beneficial
Beneficial Society in tlio evening closed
the exorcises of the day. The fact that
it was tho first held in the now opera
house drew many people there, and at
10 o'clock the big audltoruim was filled.
There were some doubts expressed as to
the desirability of using the opera house
for a ball-room, but the manner in which
the dancers crowded the floor all night
makes it appear that for dancing pur
poses it is equal to any place in town.
Tho closing of tho ball at 4 o'clock
yesterday morning ended tho most
pleasant St. Patrick's Day that Pree
land has yet seen.
Pictures I>i(1 Not Come.
Thomas Kennedy, alias Thomas J.
Hart, who in January last victimized
a number of people throughout Butler
valley by taking orders for the enlarge
ment of pictures at a cost of 50 cents,
was arrested Monday night on a war
rant sworn out by Harry Cook before
Squire T. A. Buckley. Constable Qulg
loy located him at tho Cottage hotel.
After being arrested he signified his in
tention to walk witli the constable to the
squire's office, and while on the way
across Washington street he made a
break to escape, and succeeded in get
ting as far as tho trcstling over tho
Highland road, where he was overtaken
by Mr. Cook.
At the hearing ho denied being tho
person wanted, and asked to bo given
time to communicate with his friends at
•Shamokin. He was hold until Tuesday
afternoon, when a number of witnesses
from the valley appeared. F. li. Dubbs,
of Shamokln, agent for the Shamokin
Portrait Company, came up, und after
having a conference with the people
whose portraits wera taken agreed with
them to return the money and pictures.
A number of them allowed Mr. Dubbs
to make the pictures, as agreed upon at
first, and refused to accept the money
after hearing Mr. Dubbs' explanation,
preferring to have him fulfill the con
tract. Mr. Cook withdrew tho charge
and Kennedy was discharged.
Praise fur a Freeland IJoy.
Cardinal Satolli visited Denver, Colo.,
recently, and while there was one day
tho guest of tho Sacred Heart college,
an institution which numbers among its
students one of Freeland's bright young
men, 11. L McMonamln, a son of Hugh
McMenamin, who is preparing himself
for tho priesthood. The Denver Timet
devotes considerable space to the visit
of the cardinal, and In the account of
tho exercises at tho college we find the
"following paragraph, which cannot help
but be of Intorost to many here:
"At the conclusion of the chorus 11.
L. McMenamin, ono of the senior stu
dents, bade Cardinal Satolli welcome to
Sacred Heart college. His address was
surprisingly able, eloquent and appro
priate, showing remarkable erudition
and oratorical power for a young man.
Ho expressed for himself and the other
scholars of Sacred Heart their apprecia
tion of the high honor that, had been
conferred on them by tho visit from
Dope Leo's representative in America,
and their pleasure at meeting so emi
nent and esteem-worthy a dlgnatary of
their church."
Space forbids the republishing of fur
ther details, but the above extract from
our western contemporary Is sufficient
to show that Freeland can be proud of
the young man who is representing it in
Sacred Heart college.

An Advance in YVai-es.
The Lehigh Valley Railroad Company
hss restored the 10 per cent reduction in
salaries which was tnado in 1893. This
action was taken at the recent meeting
of the board of directors. The changes
affect all salaried employes, clerks,
station agents and all others that re
ceive lixed yearly compensation. Work
men that are paid by tho day are not
included, bocauso they wore not affected
by tho reduction. The action of tho
board shows that tho earnings of the
company have recovered to tho normal
volume that prevailed prior to the period
of reduction.

mill project Is also in good shape, and
both industries are now assured.
Considerable discussion was developed
on tho question of annexing tho sur
rounding territory. It is quite probable
that an attorney will be engaged to at
tend to tlds matter, and that any part
where the residents oppose annexation
will be left out.
