,Th9 despatph In yesterdays HERALD giving the
story about the malicious firing OF Avondale mine
shaft was the great topic OF conversation IN the
miners village OF Hyde Park to-day united with the
testimony given Ut the inquest In Plymouth
yesterday BY Morgan ana others, professional
miners OF long standing. to the effect that
the nre must have originated near the
top IN place OF at the bottom OF the shaft. The
current of speculation in the village has turned
away In great measure from ths consideration OF
how far the furnace in the mine responsible for
the fire to the formation of opinions to the man.
nsr and the motive Of firing the brettice from
above.
The witnesses, you win notice by the evidence,
who opposed the originally accented theory OF tho
hre gave no intimatiOn as to whom they thought
responsible for the fearful noendiarism suggested
by their testimony. and the counsel for the mining
companies mado no attempt to secure IN expression
Of opinion on that head. On inquiry was Informed
that the counsel for the companies intended 70 re-
serve this point until they could secure an over
whelming amount Of evidence from experts Op-
posed to the Idea OF IRE coming from the furnace TO
the shaft and then they expect to show BY impica-
ton that some man or set OF men must have mali
oiously performed the work OF destruction and
death.

Tho miners represent all nationalites. the prepon-

ealousles and quarrellings from time to time. When
Mr. Benjamin Hughes, Thomas Carson and Thomas
Watkins come up to give their evidence at the in
quest Tuesday next flood Of light will be thrown
upon this now mysterious question, as these three
are among the most competent to give decided
