THE LEISENING DISASTER.
Growing Belief that the Explosion Was the
Result of Negligence.

UNIoNTowN Pa, Feb 22-The funeral of the
victims of the explosion at West Leisening,
took place this morning, A special train ran out
to the shaft from Uniontown, and returned with
the bodies and friends at o'clock. Four cars
were filed with relatives of the dead, and the
scene was sad in tho extreme. Three victims
were inferred here, six at Dunbar, seven at Con-
nellsville and two have been sent to Washington,
D. c. There were large crowds at each place.
No special services were held among the miners.
A revusion of sentiment has taken place the
last twenty four hours, and talk that the explo
sion resulted from negligence, is now widespread.
The feeling is very bitter, and one man has re-
tanned an attorney to attend the inquest, to-mor-
row, and exact the truth from the witnesses con
ceIning the condition of the shaft. A score of
miners are willing to affirm that the air was bad
for a week since, and that they could not work
without complete exhaustion. One big miner
named Duffy, who worked in room six, right in
the midst of the place charred by the explosion,
refused to work on the morning of
the disaster because mo man could
live in the place" A commission
of inquiry representing the afflicted families has
been organized to gather information to present
before the coroner's inquest A young man
named Dugan, who had several relations killed
by the explosion, claims to have discovered evi-
dence to the effect that the accident was chiefly
cansed hv hoarding-pp the air-shaft at night by
carpenters who were making repairs. i
was closed to prevent the people falling in, and
the gas which accumulated at night more
than could be driven out in day. Meanwhile,
the company is sparing no expense to bury the
dead and relieve the suffering of the afflicted.
William Pegg one of the men employed at
the mine, made a statement tonight rejecting
severely on the officials of the company and on
Mine Inspector Steiner. Pegg said that the
inspector never appointed fire boss for the
shaft, and the ventilation heading where the
plosion occurred was very bad.

A TERRIBLE RECITAL.


CINCINNATI, Feb. 22-1'he examination of the
bodies of the Taylor family, found in the Ohio
Medical College, mentioned in last nights dis
patch shows all three had been murdered, all
the bodies showing unmistakable signs of vio-
lence. the skulls of Taylor and wife being frac-
tured. Whether the family was murdered for
money or the dissecting table is not known, but
the general belief is that they were killed for
the latter purpose. The house where Taylor
lived was desolated spot, half a milo from
neighbOr. Allen ingalls,, JEFF Lout. Richard
ingalls, and Ben johnson, all colored, residing in
the vicinity Of the murder, have been arrested,
suspected of being the perpetrators of the crime.
The bodies were received at the medical col
lege on Friday night Dr. Cilley, demonstrator
Of anatomy, says he knows the men who brought
the bodies to the college, but does not know
their nanes as such business is always done
with as little ceremony possible. He had
suspicion that they were murdered until Marshal
Brown of Avondale, identified them and he
found the skulls crushed. The colored men ar
rested are not openly known to be resurrection
lists, but there has been an uncertainty about
how one of them supported himself. Examina
ton begins at AvOndale tomorrow
Richard ingalls,. one of the men arrested for
the murder, has made a statement to
the effect that John Harris, a man he
never knew until last Friday, engaged
him at in the afternoon to assist in taking the
bodies to the medical college, and fixed
the place of meeting on the turnpike
at o'clock. They met and shortly
after a man with a wagon came along, whom he
does not know. They drove Il short distance,
when Harris pointed out the bodies in the fence
corner in sacks. AS soon as they were loaded
all started back to the city, hut Har-
ris stopped the wagon and was.
gone half an hour. He came back running.
A cabin on fire was then seen. They drove to
the college, delivered the bodies and got their
pay. Taylor, the murdered man. was formerly
resurrectionist, and ingalls, was his partner.

THE CAMPAIGN As 1T LOOKS.

Some 3s Republican newspapers in
the East are said to oppose Blaine,
while larger number oppose Cleve-
land. Prominent Democrats denounce
their candidates, while some prominent
Republicans dcnounce theirs. Siren
uous efforts are being made to win the
Irish brother over to the Republican
side, while no means are left united
to induce the German element to
range itself under the Democratic
banner. Then the morality Of the
Democratic candidate is seriously i'm.
pugned, and the church people who
have ht retofore supported the Demo
cratic nominees are beginning to
waver in their allegiance i'll a mos,
alarming manner. The labor organi'
cations are taking hand, and demo-
ishing Cleveland because of his mon
opolistic lcanings. The campaign is
therefore becoming badly muddled
and if things go on as they are, l
large proportion OF the adherent
Of each party will vote for the othe
party's candidates. 1t looks now as i
the Independent vote would have tn
deciding voice in the election.

THE FIRE IN THE LAVA FIELDS.

The Shoshone Journal makes light
of the fire in the lava fields, last week.
1t can afford to do SO now, but it
ought not, in doing so, make state
ments that can be easily refuted. 1t
says there was "no excitement" no
"thought of danger" yet it admits
that "as Il wise precaution fire guard
around town was made" What the
Journal states as "a stri p Of sagebrush
burned oil several miles to the SOUTH"
was connagration from IS to 100
miles long, the edge of which was over
the summit of the big butte less than
four miles from Shoshone. 1t was SO
alarming that the Shoshoneites deemed
it prudent to resort to tlat supreme
means of defense, i. e., the starting OF
a shack fire."
The state OF mind OF the people OF
Shoshcne must have been remarkable
indeed, under the circumstances, II II
is accurately described by the Journal.
