John Welsh, another Of the men wounded In the
accident at Mud Run on Wednesday night died In
the hospital at wilkesbarre, Pa, yesterday. The
coroner began his inquest into the disaster az
Mauch Chunk yesterday, but after examining a
few witnesses, adjourned t Till Monday. The on
GERS OF the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company IN

port OF the accident Brief kilograms from the
superintendent OF the division that IS deaths

Before that Is done we VIII not venture any state

wanting, and carelessness or neglect In the en-
forcement OF these must have caused the disaster

that Is all we 90 know. The system OF Train man.
railroading can make IL, and it Is probably 10 an
Arrangement OF that system that the catastrophe
is due: IL has been said that the air brakes would
not work; that the engineer was asleep; that he
was drunk, and so on. These things we know
nothing about yet Some day we may"
The oficial denied the report that the engineer
had been at work for forty-eght hours ana did not
think it at ala probable that he could have been
drunk, as he would not have been allowed 70 get
into his cab n such had been the case.
A dispatch from Bethlehem. Pa, says Rolliu IL

section OF the train was not supplied with the AIR
brakes Is not correct. The report probably origi-
mated from the fact that the head engine OF the
section, which Is q new heavy -draught locomotive,
did not have that Improvements The second en-

Engineer Major, OF the second locomotive OF sec

smoke from Cooks engine ahead OF him.
The case Of Michael Barrett. whose two sons
