AN UNPOPULAR VERDICT.

Superintendent Robert Lang Held Re-
sponsible for the Hill Farm Mine Dis
aster at Dunbar, Pa.-Public Feeling
Against the Verdict.
PITTSBURGH, Pa, July lathe COR
oner's jury in the Hill Farm disaster
rendered the following verdict:
That Daniel Shearin came to his death
while in the discharge of his duty fire
boss IN the Hill Farm mine on the 18th day
of June, 1899, by being suffocated with after
damp, smoke caused by an explosion OF
gas by John Kerwin opening drill hole in
an unlawful manner under directions ana
by order of Robert Lang, superin tendent.
and that said Robert Lang is crminally re-
sponsible in causing the death of said Dam
iel Shearin David Hay came to his death
while in the discharge of his duty, in trying
to rescue his in the Hill Farm mine
on the 10th of June, 1890, by being suffocated
with afterdamp and smoke caused by an
explosio ion of gas by John kerwin opening a
drill in an unlawful manner under direction
and by the order of Robert Lang, supern-
tendent; and that we believe said Robert
Lang is criminally responsible in causing
the death of said David Hay.
The public feeling is against the YER
dict. The laboring people say the blame
should not be laid on Mr.. Lang, who
has always been faithful to his duty in
looking after the safety and welfare
of his employees, and that similar mis-
take was liable to be made by any one
under the same circumstances.

HE WAS FOR SALE.

And His Price Was Not Remarkably
High, Considering the Good Reputation
He Had Achieved.
MDDLETOwN, N. Y, July 11.-Samuel
T. Lynch, postmaster and general mer-
chant at Centerville, Sullivan County,
is missing, and is accused of forgeries
and embezzlement aggregating $40, 600
or more. About fifteen years ago he
bought out the store there long carried
on by the late Isaac Knapp. He became
popular and influential, and won the
unlimited confidence OF all who had
business transactions with him. He was
elected supervisor of the town of Falls
burg almost without opposition. He
was appointed postmaster of the town
about a year ago. His credit stood
high at home and in New York CITY.
No suspicion of his integrity was
entertained by any one until some DAYS
after he had disappeared from home.
He left Centerville on the Sd inst. tell
ing his family that he was coming to
Middletown on business and would re-
turn that night. He was seen in New
York City the next day, since which
nothing is known of his movements. It
is now charged that he has put afioat
spurious notes to large amount.

of the fact that free market had been
accorded to American imports to
Great Britain while the heavy duties

OtRSFuL DISASTER.

by the Collapse OF Landing Stage Mt
Dartmouth. Nova Scotia Several EDu-
dred People were Irecipitated Int, the
Water and Many of Them Drowned.
HALIFAX, \. S. July 11.-At tsSt-
mouth tonight the ferry landing stage
while crowded with about one hundred
and fifty persons collapsed and they
were thrown into the water causing
large loss of life. Five bodies hayt, so
far been recovered. They are those of
Il woman named Silver and her child.
woman named Synott and two soldiers.
The disaster was caused by the slip.
ping out of place of the chain which
held the float up. The front part of
the float was thus dropped suddenly
down, throwing the occupants into the
water.
Later accounts place the number on
the slip at five hundred. Many were
drowned, but the exact number of IA
talities can not be known until to-mor.
raw. The crowd, made up of men,
women and children, were watt
ing for the new ferry steam
err Annex, which was just arriv-
ing from New York. AS the boat
approached near the landing some per-
sons jumped aboard. The disturbance
thus caused on the over-erowded land
ing stage seems to have caused the ac-
cident; at least it was Just at this NOM
ent the plunge occurred and the hum
dreds of people on the stage began to
slide into the water, those near the end
being buried beneath those further back
until there was solid mass of Shrek
ing, struggling humanity packed as
close in the water as they had been on
the dock.
For some minutes there was con-
fused crowd of men, women and chiB-
dren struggling in the water. A dozen
young men leaped to the rescue and
the drowning people were rapidly
passed up to men standing on the
wharves. The work of rescue was so
rapidly performed that great major
ity of those who fell in were saved from
death. The rescuers worked until there
were no more in sight and those who
could not be saved had sunk out Of
sight.
When the crowd slipped off the land
ing stage hundreds of people along the
wharf threw boards and sticks to the
unfortunate people in the water and a
number Of life-preservers were thrown
to them from the steamer A great
many persons were injured by the fly
ing boards and all the bodies recovered
have cuts and bruises. Most of those
who fell III were women and children,
and the scenes Immediately following
the disaster were frightful. Sew
eral men and their wives were
thrown in, and the men
made heroic struggle to save
the lives of the women, and, as far az
known with great success.
