A SAD PICNIC PARTY.

August Weiss Drowned While on the Cen.
IraI Church Excursion-His Father Met
Death the Same Wny-A Melancholy
Homeward Journey of His Sisters.
August Weiss, a 15-year-old boy, was
drowned in the Monongahela river near
Blair's Grove yesterday. The lad went to
the grove to attend the picnic of the Central
Presbyterian Church. he was the son of a
widow, and had gone out with his sisters,
one older and one younger than himself.
He lived on Seneca street, near the church,
which is located on Forbes.
The congregation went on the steamer
Mayfower to Blair's Grove, above lock No.
2, about 10 miles from the city. After
reaching the grove young Weiss played
with his companions until after noon,
when he asked another lad of about his own
age to go in swimming. His friend declined
to 60, and had forgotten about Weiss until
about o'clock in the afternoon, when\ his
sisters missed him. His clothing was found
lying under tree, and it was decided that
he had drowned. Graphing hooks were
secured on the boat, and the body found not
far from his clothing.
The body was at once taken to the Balti-
more and Ohio station and shipped home,
while the heavy-hearted picnic party re-
paired to the boat and came home also. The
sisters of the deceased were completely
broken down by the loss of their brother,
and required the services of physician. A
sad coincidence in the case is that the father
of the deceased met his end in the same way
six years ago.

A ROAST FROM WATCHORN,
A COMMISSION SUGGESTED TO MAKE
MINING LAWS

The United Miners Secretary Scores the
Dunbar Furnace Company Unsafe
Safety Lamps Provided for n Very
Gaseous Miue-A Strike Settled.
Secretary Robert Watchorn, of the United
Miners Association, after severely arraigu-
ing the Dunbar Furnace Company before
the Coroner's jury, came down from
Dunbar last evening we'll salts.
fed with his work as lawyer.
He said it was about time to have a COM
mission appointed, consisting of operators,
inspectors and practical miners. to suggest
mining laws that will provide for the safety
OF the men. The laws now reminded him of
a sieve in which you tried to hold water;
still he was glad to have even the sieve in
the absence of something better.
Speaking of the Dunbar disaster, he said:
Some of the men about that place imagined
was working with the operators until the
Coroner's inquest occurred when thev
changed their minds. That mine was one
of the most gaseous in the region, and yet it
was proven that the company provided safety
lamps that were full of large holes Even
if one of the meshes is broken the lamp is
no longer safe, and there is no wonder
there was an explosion. Much depends on
the verdict Of the jury as to what our
organization will do in the future. am
afraid they will saddle the responsibility on
Mine Boss Thomas Evans, who is the only
man about the place who holds certificate.
Still the chances are there will be some
lively prosecutions, and it will be no fault
of ours if something is not done to provide
for the maintenance of the widows and
orphans"
Secretary Watchorn said the trouble at
Punxsutawney was about over, and after a
struggle of eight months 1t was big victory
for the men. It resulted in the discharge Of
all the bosses and superintendents about the
mines, and Bell, Lewis & Yates not only
bought the mining property but actually Sc
cured the controlling interest in the Buffalo,
Rochester and Pittsburg road. He spoke
highly of Manager Elliott, and under him
he anticipates no further difficulties. The
men are satisfied, but great many of them
have already left the place and are working
in other mines.

AID FOR RAILROADS.
Colonel Roberts Develops a New and
Startling Feature OF
THE PENNSYLVANIA SHIP CANAL.
If the Government Doesn't Take Hold the
Manufacturers Should.
A FIRST-CLASS PAYING INVESTMENT

The monthly meeting OF the Pennsyl-
vania Ship Canal Commission was held in
the Penn building yesterday. Engineer
John M. Goodwin reported he had made
the survey over the new route along French
creek from Meadville to Franklin, and
found the route practicable. The commits
sion expects to save three miles in the
length of the canal.
Colonel Roberts said last night: Both
fectly practicable; it is only question of
distance. Along the French creek route
there lies region Of mineral wealth which
has been undeveloped because there were no
means of transporting the products of the
region without incurring unnecessary freight
charges. Then the transportation facilities
are but meager at present, and there has been
no 1nducement to manufacturers to locate
along this route; the average stage of water
viii not permit boats of any size to uavi-
gate this stream. No railroad taps this ter
ritory within radius of ten miles. If the
canal would be established over this route,
there is no question but it would open
up this territory of abundant coal and ore
deposits, which will remain unworked if
the proposed canal is constructed over the
old Beaver river route to the lake.
"The advantage gained by having a canal
over the Allegheny river route with French
creek as connection with Lake Erie and
the Allegheny would be that fleet of
barges could be propelled up the river to
the canal proper, whereas on the Beaver
river, so far as we can see, less number of
barges would have to be taken on trip.
II cannot see for the life of Ee." con-
tinued Colonel Roberts, "why the railroad
companies should oppose the ship canal
scheme. The construction of ship canal
would necessarily cause large influx of
people to the places along the proposed
route, which would make it more remuner-
ative to them than at present, where they
make little from carrying coal and iron
from this city. 1 have not the least doubt
should the canal be opened up that it would
reduce the rates for transportation on
coal and iron ore so per cent, if not
more. In the event Of the General Govern
ment refusing to open up the canal, think
it would be feasible plan for the iron
manufacturers to take hold of it and put it
through. From observations 1 have arrived
at the conclusion that 1t would pay for
itself within four or five years.

Fifty Miners Get as Far as scottdale on the
Road TO SmithtOu.

Yesterday 30 miners from the Punxsutaw-
ney regiou got as far as Scottdale in their
journey to Smithton where they intended to
work. The men understood that the trouble
with the Waverly Coal Company had been
settled, but District Master Workman Ker-
foot soon disabused stheir minds, and they
wouldn't go any further. The miners
about Scottdale took care of them last even
ing. as9
When Mr.. Courtney, of the Waverly
Company, heard what had occurred, he
asked for a conference, and Colonel Ker-
foot and Secretary Parker will meet him at
Smithton to-day. The indications are that
the trouble will be settled.
The regular convention of the miners of
the Connellsville region should have been
held yesterday, but on account Of the Dnn-
bar disaster it was postponed. 1t will
now be held on the 10th at Scott
dale. Secretary Watchorn stated that
Mr.. Rainey's case would then be taken up.
He has not yet signed the scale. District
Master Workman Kerfoot, he said, was
about to take steps to bring him into line
when the Dunbar explosion occurred, and
since then he has been giving all his time
trying to rescue the imprisoned men. The
secretary added that Mr.. Rainey had not
been forgotten and neither would he escape.
