exposing Mr.. Chandler's past record on the
ground that that gentleman was suffering
from illness and was not responsible for his

all insinuations made against him by Greene

SPRING HILL MINES. March 1.-THE cor
oner's jury resumed the investigation OF the
recent mine disaster today and reached the
following verdict: 'That the late John
Connection and others came to their death
by an explosion which originated in No. 9
bord Of No. balance In the west side Of the
east slope on the 21st Of February. 1891. We
further believe that the said explosion was
caused by fame from shot fred In the said
bord ignlting coal dust and certain portion
Of gas which might have been present at the
time. We also believe that there was un-
usual fame from the said shot owing to
slip In the stone." They believe that the ex-
plosion was accidental and that no blame
should be attached to the management. as
they took every precaution for the safety Oh
their workmen.
The Jurors make the following recommend
ations: "In the future where safety lamps
are used aud In every dusty place powder
should not be used. The gaseous portions Of
the mine should be examined By competent
officials before the men resume work after
dinner. The local government should pro-
cure for the use Of the deputy Inspector OF

ONE SON MISSING.
Samuel Davis Of Dover Found Lying
In a Pile of Broken Class.

DOVER, N. H., March 1.-THE coroner
and cityi marshal are investigating the sus-
picious circumstances surrounding the death
Of Samuel Davis, aged 81. which occurred at
his home on Water street this morning.
Mrs. Davis asserts that her husband came
home Monday night In state of intoxica-
tion, drove the family from the house and
threw lamp and kettle at them as they de-
parted. They subsequently returned and
found him lying amid the broken lamps,
glass aud iron, with his face cut and bleed
Ing. They washed away the blood and put
him to bed. Tuesday morning they discov-
cred that the right side Of his face was bad
ly discolored, and sent for a country physi-
ciau, DIR. Richmond, who found Davis very
low and suffering from burn on the side OF
head. This MIS-. Davis explains by the sup
position that he first fell on the stove and
then on the floor. Coroner Hall thinks the
bruises and burns shown were not sufficient
to cause death, and as one Of Davis's sons Is
missing the case will be thoroughly inves IT,
gated. Davis was unconscious from Mon
day night until his death.
Drs. Ham and Richmond, without making
an autopsy. have come to the conclusion that
Samuel Davis came to his death By apo
