THE vERDuCr
or the Coromers as TO the Cause
OF the New burg Disaster.

B The jury's verdict is as follows
I'VE the jury eInpaneled and sworr
to inquire and true deliverance make
in what manner and by what mean:
the miners who lost their lives in the
Meuntain Brook shaft OF the New
j burg Orrel Coal Company ON Janu-
ary q, came to their death. do find
fhat said deaths were caused by ex-
plosion Of fire damp, which accumn-
lated by reason of a door, or stop
being open and changing the air cur
rent from its proper course, thereby
depriving a large portion Of the mine
of sufficient ventilation. q
The jury also find violation Of
the first paragraph of section 6 OF
chapter 20, act Of 1883; also find
that the instructions of the Inspec-
tor OF Mines were being disregarded
at the time Of the accident. - =
I'm addition to the foregoing yer
dict we would say that we regret to
find that the statute Of our. State
contains no adequate law for the
protection of the lives of that por-
ton of our population engaged in
mining. The rapidity with which
our vast mineral resources are being
developed, and the large and con
stantly increasing number of persons
engaged in mining, and the danger
to which they are subject in the pur-
suit of their perilous calling, would
appear to be ample argument for the
enactment of laws that would in
sure, as far as possible, their health
and safety. On the contrary, we
find upon our statute books law
protesting to regulate the working
of mines, but containing only nomi-
nal penalties for its violation. 1t
provides for the appointment of a
State Inspector of mines, while I'M
der its provision he can do but little
than advise and entreat those who
disregard the act. We mean no re-
Election upon those gentlemen
through whose efforts the law was
enacted, for they encountered diff
eulties which prevented them max
ing it what it should be, and we con-
graduate them that they were at
least partially successful.
ut is, however, to be hoped that
our next Legislature will give us a
law governing the working and man
agement of mines that will in its
provisions be commensurate with its
importance, and that other horrors
such as we have just Witnessed will
not be required to awaken them to
sense of their duties. And while
we feel that the duties of the State
Inspector of Mines are well defined
and in this case have been faithfully
discharged, yet unless additional
power or authority be given him by
law to be enforced by injunction or
otherwise to promptly restrain the
owner or operator of a mine from a
further prosecution of the work or a
failure to obey his orders, or when
his suggestions are disregarded when
in his judgment there is danger of
an accident, the law creating his
office can be of little benefit to those
engaged in the dangerous calling,
and we feel it to be our duty to thus
publicly urge upon our lawmakers
the necessity of radical change in
our mining lews."

repute among the masses. The
regular minister who stands in the
pulpit is regarded as simply an ex
ponent Of dry, misty, metaphysical
doctrines; and whether he is or not,
it is his misfortune to be under the
ban, The common people have
passed Judgment upon him, and he
labors under the disadvantage of
standing in Il place where he is pre-
judged and condemned without a
hearing, and cannot get hearing,
because his fellow ministcrs-eyen
if be has not contributed to it-have
destroyed the interest of the masses
in anything that may be said from
the pulpit. And the power of the
pulpit over the masses will never be
regained until the fact is recognized,
so forcibly illustrated in the case of
Miss Jennie Smith, that theTsuccess-
full appeal in matters OF religion is
to be addressed to the heart rather
than to the head.
This much from secular stand
point. The pulpit may not approve
our views, but the masses do. -

A little fun now and then is rel.
ished by the best of men,
A case was recently disposed of in
the Harrison county Circuit Court,
where, the defendant was alleged to
have illegally INDUCED in a game
with cards. A few nights after the
trial of the above named case, says
the News, one of the jurors who had
never played euchre, was invited to
join in social game, by jolly fell
low member of the jury. After an
hours proctice, the novice had be-
come sufficiently expert with the
paste boards to make the game in
teresting to his opponents. The
novice was greatly shocked and
frightened when solemnly informed,
that he was guilty of the same of
Tense, which had been laid to the
door of his neighbor, and upon
whose guiltor innocence he had been
sworn to render verdict of guilt or
innocence. He was enjoined to keep
this go still. 1t was nicely arrang-
ed by those who had perfected the
plan of the joke, to have an assumed
officer of the law on the next evening
to enter an adjoining room and in a
loud voice demand the body of those
who had INDUCED in the game of
euchre, the previous evening. When
the novice heard his name mention
ed he fairly trembled with fear and
was SO disconnected about the prob
able punishment that stared him in
the face, that Selling his hat, he
rushed from the house, and attempt
ed to make good his escape. He
was persued by fellow member of
abe jury and captured and but for
the speed, strength, persuasive pow
CT and endurance of the Juror from
Ten Mile, the Pell-Ross jury on
Thursday morning would have been
without a quorum, and the novice
would have been in the county of
Upshur, to which land he had di-
rected his course, for it was there
that he had kind friends who would
shield and protect him.

The wild, wild West.

Oh yes--it is all enchanting, dear
boy-this reading about the whoop-
ing and booming West-thc silver
and gold in the mountains, the bear
and deer in the forests, the sleek cat
tie and daring cowboy in the ranch
es, and the bounding buffalo and pic
turesquc Indian on the plains. But
go out once-go out, dear boy, and
see how it is for yourself and learn
if YOU please, that of the silver and
gold in the mountains there is none
for thee; that these rock -ribbcd gi-
ants yield their treasures to the
clanking engine and not to the horny
hand, to the rich man and not to the
poor man; that there are only about
a half dozen cripplc-clawed snaggle-
toothed grizzlies in all the Rockies :,
that there are twenty hunters to ev-
cry deer in the forests; that you can
count ribs fora guile in every drove
of cattle; that your cowboy is a ga
loot from SknnktOwn, West Virginia
that you can wipe the ground with;
that there is not a bounding buffalo
from Montana to New Mexico, and
that the picturesque Indian is dir
ty. greasy wretch that lies fiat on
the ground looking like dung-hill,
while he watches for chance to
scalp You. Then look you around
upon the boundless, treeless bottom
of decomposed dead sea; behold
the remote and graceful jack rabbit
and view the contiguous and grotes-
que gopher,-then sit down upon the
venerable cactus and count your
cash and find that You are worth a
dollar and seventeen naked cents and
barefooted, and then perchance, if
your mind in some uncomfortable
manner should come jumping home
ward and rest on Proctor Hills or
Pone Ridge in old Wetzel-we, who
have been there, will know how you
will then feel, as it were, as if you
were a son-of-a gun from Omaha

On the Both day Of January, in
this wear Of our Lord one thousand
eight hundred and eighty-six, at
about the hour of II o clock, NJ, and
in the one bundredth year of the in
corporation Of the town Of Morgan
town, a real, tangible, moving rail-
road locomotive, Of the genuine old
camel-back description. appeared on
the south bank of Dcckcr's creek.
And it footed!
And the people of Morgantown
heard that toot,
Yea, the small boy heard it. And
that same small boy took up the
echo. and has learned to initiate that
toot according TO the nature Of the
thing; SO that the first toot of the
first locomotive that first stood on
the banks of Deckcr's creek has been
perpctuatcd by the small boy, and
if its memory should ever be oblit-
Grated which is improbabIe--it is
certain to ,be revived by the ubiqui-
tons and rrcprcssiblc small boy.
May the gods smile on the small
boy!
But The effect of that first foot
was not manifest alone upon the
small boy. 1t is said by the only
cool observer that the nv, rage citi-
zen, as he moved up and down the
street, was 10 be seen betimes steal
in. Il hand under his coat-tail in
search Of his l,andana and furtively
brushing away the ovcrhowing tear
Another class, who percfance, had
not heard that first toot, or having
heard it once were eager to hear
that musical note sounding once
more, we're walking up and down
with Il hand back Of the ear await
ing the breeze from the south.
Did you know We are out of the
Wilderness"
This was the natural, necessary,
eager salutation of one citizen to
another, which took the place of the
usual good day" or shows your
hcalth?'
Well. Well. Well.
Who would have thought it--a
railroad to Morgantown!
Out of the wilderness, indeed.
Now let us celebrate.
And we insist as one item of the
program of said jubilation, that one
of the old stage-coaches that has
rolled and rumbled between here
and Fairmont, shall be set upon
pinnacle charged with dynamite, and
that in the presence of the people,
our old veteran Kama Bright shall
touch it off and blow it up, and be-
come the custodian of one of it's
sriin'crs, as the only relic of
barblrism that is permitted to re-
p,in.

The Senate requested President
Cleveland few days ago to furnish
his reasons for the removal of office
FOLDERS. He replied as follows: II

lending an office holder at the time

i':iorm You that | shall do nothing

10y and with the consent of the SEN
rte. 1t is fitting in such cases that
the Senate should have all the infor-
nation they desire regarding the
man whose nomination they are
asked to confirm, but when they in
sist upon my reasons for making re-
movals they are usurping privilege
that belongs to the Executive alone,
and their request will in every case
be denied. That is the position 1
propose to take, and l am ready to
abide by the consequences"

The introduction of cheap Hun
gary labor into the coke region was
mistake. On any economical OF
social ground, it was a mistake.
Their vile and filthy habits of life
make their presence disgusting in a
community. They can live for a
month on what it would require for
Americans per week. They can eat
what our natives would scarcely
throw 10 their dogs. They can lay
up money on wages that would bare
~ keep native and his family alive.
Hence. they can underbid American
labor, and in this sense only they
might prove desirable employees for
the operators. But it is bad politi-
cal economy to save little money
for a few capitalists ut the expense
Of unsettling and irritating the vast
body of native w6rkmen who consti-
tute the bone and sinew of the land,
to enrich corporations by demoraliz-
ing the community with degraded
foreign class who never come here
to remain, or to become assimilated
and add to our permanent wealth,
but who merely gather up what they
can and then carry it back to Hun
gary"
The above are the words of the
UniOntown Standard, which has the
advantage Of being on the ground
and getting its information first
hand.
