MANY Miners Smothered.

PITTsBURGH, June 16.-An explo-
sion of damp gas occurred to-day In
the Hill farm mine at Dunbar. All
the men were in the pit. Fifteen
have been taken out badly injured.
The other fifty are thought to be dead,
but a volunteer party are digging for
them.
The Hill farm mine is situated
about two miles from Dunbar and Is
owned by the Dunbar Furnace Com.

communications for shipping coal,

full and conscientious manner In
which the receivers have performed
the sduty imposed upon them by
Judge Alvey's order, of investiga-
ting thoroughly the condition and
prospects of the canal. with reference
to the feasibility of repairing it and
operating it successfully as a water
way. Apart from the main question,
however, of the cost of repairs and
prospects for future revenue. in re.
gard to which the conclusions of the
recsivers will be read with interest
by all persons interested in the canal,
and especially in the counties liable
to be affected by its discontinuance
as waterway, there are certain
other facts developed by the report
which ought to receive the thought
full consideration of every citizen of
the State. We refer particularly to
that portion of the report where the
receivers say:
1--WE having examined the entire
line of the canal. have found that
there Is great deal of very valuable
property belonging to the canal COM
pany and not absolutely essential for
the uses of the canal as a transporta-
tion line. Much of this property is
leased at a nominal rent; at a rent
far below the true value of the prop
erty. From the books aud maps

eeisers By the officers Of the canal COM
pony it has been impossible to Gscer.
tain eractly a0jsGt property the canal
Owns, aOIsGt leases 1t has made, and
sOhot rent 1t is entitled to receiUe.
"In case there should be a sale Of
the canal. the receivers deem 1t abso.
lutely essential that before such sale
should be made they be empowered
to ascertain and report to the court
exactly the property which the COM
pany owns. both in Maryland and
the District of Columbia, and also to
ascertain and report what leases have
been made and on what terms, and
whether any leases have been made
since the issue of bonds secured by
the several mortgages, and if the
same are valid"
