1lae Tedious Work Reaun or Clearing
~ Main q saR NN.a&a.n

1he Tedious work Regun OF Clearing
the Milne or Water.
HAzELToN, Pa, Feb. The pump
ing Is still going on In the mine, but with
little advancement. The water on the
pitch OF the slope has raised 900 yards,
which Is q higher point than any of the
breasts reached. The large inside mine
pump, which was stationed at the bot
tom Of the slope to keep the lower level
free from water, Is covered with water
and is useless. Two smaller mine pumps
have been placed side by side In the
gangway of the first level, and the work
OF removing the vast body of water was
commenced.
1t Is now believed that while Charles
Boyle and Patrick Coll were drilling
hole In the face of their breast, they UNI
expeetedly broke into the old abandoned
workings of No. s shaft, and that the
water instantly tore away the interven-
ing rock and rushed In upon them.
Some of the miners and officials are In
clined to doubt the correctness of this
theory, however, as upon examining the
old workings from the shaft twas found
that the water was disturbed but very
little, If at all. Another theory adj
vanced is that the water is from Carter's
old mines. better known as the Colerain.
These mines have been abandoned for
many years, and were filled with
water and the lines between the works
run very close together. Until it is
learned where the water is from it Is i'm
possible to tell how soon it can be re-
moved, as they cannot ascertain the
amount of water that will yet run into
these works as it is being pumped out of
the slope.
Lief. Womelsdorf, the mining engineer
from Pottsville, who did the Surveying
for the firm, arrived at GAINESVILLE yes
terday. He descended into the mine and
made an investigation for the firm, but
declined to give any information for the
public or any idea as to when the bodies
of the men could be rescued. Sentiment
in the town OF Jeanesvifie, as well
as In the region, is somewhat
divided. Conservative miners are will
ing to await full investigation before
passing censure on the firm of j. C.
Hayden e Co., whose mines have been
very carefully operated, and accidents
have been very rare, and danger re-
duced as low as it is possible in mining
coal. Others there are who see nothing
in 1t but carelessneSs, or still more GRIM
in their assertions that the mining en-
gineer has not visited the mines as fire.
quently as the occasion demanded, rely
ing upon assistants who were young and
inexperienced, and who did not under
stand the work or realize the response
bility resting upon them to do the work.

They have been so numerous that they
are more than a mere coincidence, and
suggest some special cause which has
operated throughout the entire Southern
section. They cannot be laid at the

can they properly be charged to "ignor-
ant black rute;" for every Southern
State government is in white hands and
every treasurer who has plundered his
State Is white. They are due, doubt
less, to the opportunities which South
ern politics offer rascal to get to the
front and remain there; not only to
plumber the people but to carry ON and
conceal the crime for q considerable
time. Many of the most popular
Democrats i'm the South to-day are
those who have come into power on
the race issue. Vagabonds of all kinds
have worked this race issue for all it is
worth, and played ON the fears of the
white people. The conflict of the races
has bred unhealthy politics. Combined
with this the absence of all effective OPP
position to the rule of the dominant
party has naturally led to machine poll
tics of the worst kind. Repeated re-
nominations and predictions have facil-
itated the operations of the aHonest
