srEuBENvILLE, o., Dec, 5.-The fright.
ful accident yesterday in the steuben,
vile Iron & Steel Company's coal shaft
at Alikanna, by which the Davis and
Diylnney boys lost their lives, caused
considerable excitement, Inspector ],
w. Love has arrived, and to-day, In
company with Coroner Starr they Wis
tied The mine and began their inspection
aud inquest,
After Inspector Love'sexamination he
stated that the wire cable was In excel.
lent condition and would safely hoist
four or five TONS daily and would not
break short oil an eighteen ton strain.
He states the trouble to be due to the
watchman BrainRrd acting as engineer
and misnanaging the lowering OF tue
cage. As II descended II struck a 2x4
scdntling and assembled while that was
removed, then descended but without
taking up q coil Of slack, which slid
along and over the edge OF the drum.
AS the drum WAS six feet in diameter,
one coil was equal 10 eighteen
feet OF slack. This the weight
Of the cage and boys brought
down with a rush, and as It slipped of
the drum the cable was drawn taut
with u jerk over aud across the sharp
edge Of the four.lnch steel key which
holds the arms OF the drum in place,
and the wire strands were cut as cleanly
as II done by a knife.
He intimates that the mining authori,
ties may think 1t best TO take some &C.
tion with respect TO Brainard, the watch
man, acting as an engineer.
From late developments and evidence
before the inquest II looks as II the com
pany would come In for blame Ia not
providing safety catches.
