into the causes of the depressed state OF
capital and labor. It was also resolved to
hold serie. of public meetings in the prn'
cipal towns. The want of reciprocity, the
French treaty, and the system Of American

condemned.
PLYMOUTH, Pa, Sept l5.--The jury has
returned the following verdict: That the
said Palmer Steele and others came to their
deaths in the Avondale mines; that the
canse of their death was the exhaustion of
atmospheric air, or a prevalence OF sui.
nhurie and csrbonic acid gases in the said
yondale mine, caused by the burning OF
the head house and breaker, at said mine,
on the sixth day Of September thereby de-
stroying the air courses leading from the
mine through the shat. that the fire origi'
mated from the furnace from the mines tax
ing effect upon the wooden bracket IN the
up.cast air course, leading from the bottom
of the shaft to the head house.
The Jury regard the present system OF
| mining, on q large number OF mlues now
working by shafts, as insecure ana unsafe
to the miners, and would strong ly recon-
mend in all cases when practicable, two
nlaces for inqreas and egress, and more
nerfect ventilation, thereby rendering great
ar secnritv to the life Of the miners under
any similar accident.
