THE PENNSYLVANIA HORROR.
Testimony at the COrOner's Inquest Regard
ing the Safety Of the Mine.

UNIoNTowN, Pa, Feb. 23.-Coroner Batlin
commenced his investigation this morning into
the cause of the explosion on Wednesday morn
ing at the West Leisenring mine, in which nine
teen men were killed. Superintendent Tavern
was present with council to represent the com
pany, while R. H. Lindsay, examined wit
nesses in the interest of the prospective liti-
giants.
Morgan Richards, fire boss, said he had not ex-
amined the mine for fre-damp since Monday
morning, but had been through it with naked
lamp on Tuesday. The air shaft had been COW
cred up, but it not on Monday
Thomas jenkins, mining boss, said he had
gone all through the mine Tuesday with a
naked lamp, but had not looked for fire-damp
since the previous Thursday. He had not
measured the air current for three weeks. He
considered the shaft one of the most perfect he
had ever seen. The air shaft, he had been in
formed by the carpenters, completed, but
he had never notified the miners of the fact.
Several miners testified that the fire boss had
warned them on the 14th inst not to go through
the trap door between Nos. 3 and butts. say
ing he would not do it for all the money in the
world
Charles Conner, mining boss at the Leith
shaft testified that the ventilation at the Leis-
enring was ample and that with some modifica-
tons he would consider it model mine.
