the stan OF employees In the Mayors ONCE but also
by many clerks and others connected with the City

COmptrollcr's ONCE 1t was Understood that the
lmpediment arose from The circumstance OF the

I though we visited the scene of the dis
aster, we do not feel competent TO
give an opinion, and it seems to be a
matter of speculation amoqg even
those who have had the best opportn-
mites for informing themselves on the
subject. Nor are we prepared to say
where the blame rests, if any one is at
fault in the matter. But this sad Oc-
currence furnishes another evidence,
if any were needed, of the necessity
of throwing every possible security
around this most perilous occupation.
On Tharsdsy evening Coroner Bry-
ant was notified of the occurrence,
and the next morning proceeded to
empannel jury and hold an inquest
upon the bodies that had been recov-
cred up to that time. After full in
yestigation the jury returned the fol-
lowing verdict: @ SO
The undersigned jurors empaBnel

in the year 1872, at the township of

by Lyman Bryant, Coroner of said
county, to inquire and true present.

mine operated by the Atwater Coal
Company, al. .Atwater, Portage Coun-
ty, Ohio, on the 4th and 5th days of
July, in the year 1872, came to their
death. After having heard the evil
dence and seen the bodies, we do find
that the deceased came to their death
by suffocation from fire and smoke in
the slope of said mine, communicated
to tho timbers of the slope from fire
arch, or furnace, located near the foot
of the slope for the purpose of yenfiI-
ating the mine. The. furnace was
constructed by Richard Roberts, one
of the deceased, who was spit bosss
of the mine. From the evidence we
are unable to say whether fire was
communicated to the wood work by
gas or by the furnace being in too
close proximity TO the timbers of the
slope. Given under our hands at the
time and place of said inquisition
