The RepublicarGazettc errs
when 1t in:imates taat we are 4 bit
ter enemy of the Gas company
The Gas company has contracted
to make and furnish certain quail
~ and amount of gas for I certain
price. We hold that the company
has broken this contract, and there
is in consequence constant draw
upon the pockets of the ax-payers,
who are compelled 10 pay their mon
ey for something they never get.
The individual consumer of gas
msy laugh at the situation. lie
may be able too, but we hardly i'm
agine that with the quality and
price. his g!ce will be Of long stand
ing, Tho Gas company last month
presented 7 bill 70 the Council for
s14l.17 and insIstcd that in justice
TO the Gas company, it should lie
paid, notwithstanding the fact that
for nearly ten days it failed to furp-
ish gas to the town.
The heavy stock holder in Gas
company, who refuses TO put in
pavements when ordered to do so by
the Council may laugh, bat the
poor man working at 81 % per day
and who must put down pavements
ut the bidding of tie Council, and
contribute his mite to :he Golfers OF
the Gas company will never laugh
MS long as he IS treated SO unjustly
We have nothing against the Gas
company. but insist that it is for
The public good that its business
transactions with the people are
square.

Further Particulars or the TerrIbla
Accident at tho Minnie Moore.
Mews-Miner, April 18th.

NeWs-Mner, April 18th.
DR.. Brown paid Jack McGregor
two visits yesterday, returning from
the last one about nine o'clock last
evening. He considers the unfortu-
nate mans case hopeless. McGregor
is only kept alive by stimulants and
little nourishment. He may sur
vive a short time longer, as he has an
almost iron-like constitution. His
most dangerous wounds are in the alb.
domen.
From what McGregor told his ply
sicians, and from what has been gath
cred from those first on the scene Of
the accident, it appears that Nc Greg
or went to the station after powder.
He took stick and half out of thu
box, leaving FIVE or six in the box.
The stick and half he put in his
pocket and started away. It Is sup
posed that in some mysterious way
not known the powder in the box ex.
ploded.
McGregor says that he immediate,
y experienced the sensation Of being
blown up into the air. He shouted
for help, and here his recollection Of
the horrible affair ceases. The men
from another station hurried to the
place where he was alone. The first
man on the spot after the explosion
found McGregor leaning against a
car, where he had been blown, in a
standing position. He was in a daz.
ed and unconscious state, entirely UNI
able to realize what had happened.
The effects of the explosion are
easier to be imagined than described.
The box was blown to fragments, IN
every direction, and splinters were
forced through McGregor's feet into
the soles of his boots. His clothes
were torn off from his knees to his
thighs. Large splinters were forced
into his abdomen, and others into his
face. His watch was blown from its
pocket, and the works blown out of
the cases. His pocket book, contain
ling a $40 gold piece, was served SIM
ilarly. The works of the watch and
the pocket book were found in the
mine soon after the disaster.
The stick and halt of powder in
McGrogor's pocket were not exploded.
Had these been set off, it must have
been instant death. Indications no.
ticed by the first one reaching him go
to show that he was not blown off
his feet, when it is almost miracle
that he was not instantly killed before
he had time to shout for assistance.
| 1t awakins the deepest feelings of
sympathy and compassion to reflect
| for moment upon the untimely mis-
fortune that has befailen Jack Nc
i Gregor- whom there is none
more worthy or esteemed, or more de-
serving of long and happy life. One
Inflated moment has blighted the fu-
ture possibilities and past struggles

aELE I'VE.


The subject Of what We shall do
with ourselves after death, writes Bill |
Nye to the Boston Globe, il one that |
should be duly considered 1t an early
date. "A ~ seriousness, the soul Is
not the only thing to Be looked after, |
either during life Or after desth. we
are too prone q neglect onx bealth
during ife and then eequesth On ~
stimulated microbes md other results
Of long, and perhaps crooked career
to some slightly cemetery ~ On hill
like city that cannot be hid.
Longevity Is good thing, though
] have known public men to overdo
it. To die at the proper moment and
leave 9 good impression on history is
one Of the lost arts. To flicker out
OF life with the applause of a great
people still ringing in the ears is y
good thing; but man that is born of
woman-and the majority of them are
that way-are too prone to linger on
this side Of eternity until they have
done some little thing that is never
properly explained on their tomb
stones.
But after death what shall we do
with ourselves? In this brief treatise
! dare not attempt to be thorough, or
even lucid. Leaving Others who
know all about it to state exactly
what disposition will be made Of our
souls, let us look into the matter Of
what we shall do with our bodies.
! hope that what ] may say will
not be regarded as fippant, for this is
no place for lippancy, but allow me
to speak plainly of it as would on
any other subject concerning our
health.
Death has some peculiar character
istics. For instance, it will wake up
the dormant old crank, who has new
er missed funeral for sixty years.
He goes for miles to see deceased. .
1t is his holiday. It is the one saw
ing sport in bis otherwise joyless life.
We all remember him. He is some
times woman.
The thought that the time will come
some day when this man will put on
his funeral clothes and come to nv
funeral makes my hair rise up on end
He can not gloat over me now, but
the day may come when l shall lie
low, instead of lying otherwise, as
do now; and he may outlive me and
come to see me properly buried. Then
he will enjoy himself. All! what q
| blessed relief it would be could l how.
er over the doorway when he comes
and hear my footman announce to the
old vulture that he sis little late, a:
Mr.. Nye was put in the kiln half al
hour ago."
l could suffer good deal through
life If knew that | could at last heac
off the funeral fend-the man VIII.
wouldn't loan me dollar when | wa
struggling for grub, but who cheer
fully visits my funeral and shows hi
2 appreciation in every possible way.
| must say in all candor that Their
are many attractive features ahou
lcremation. / am sure that when ere
nation is placed within the reach o
all it will rapidly become popular.
ii In the first place, if the space be
a. tween life and physical annihilatiol
RI could be made just as narrow as pos
slsible, it would be far more cheerful
s to consider. Death itself is crue
s enough, but to add to it a hippodrom'
of public funeral and turn our par
e lors into gaudy morgue, and the
' repose in crowded cemetery till tn
