UPON serious contemplation, the de-
feat of John A. Nash was one of the
most ungrateful acts ever perpet"ated
by The Democrats of this county. He
is brilliant lawyer and has been a
lifelong Democrat, and to be den led,
without any apparent reason, the first
and only thing he hrs evec asked his
party was treatment which even Re
publicans are bound to look upon as
shabby.

THIs may be good opportunity to
state that George Heffner as Director
of the Poor never had any patronage
to give to any newspaper. This gives
the lie to his industriouslv circulated
report that the EepuJ}icoa opposes
him because he wouldn't give US his
public patronage. "lncompetency" is
all we have to urge against his candi.
dacy.-Eepu6 icdR.
Tue. And it may be equally true
that Hedher might have placed him
self in a position to bestow patronage
upon the Republican aud it friends,
but would not stultify himself, and
that that is the reason why the Re-
publican is egainst him. The f.
publican papers Of the county have
called upon the Republican to be "a
man or q mouse" aud it looks as il the
sheet has determined TO be dock rat
in this campaign.

CHICAGO is nothing unless she is
novel. One of her citizens wants 70
secure capital to dig a "World's Fair
hole ten miles deep" to be fitted with
a series of mammoth elevators which
will stop en- route at subterranean
saloons, theatres and beer gardens.
He estimates that sufficient gold, sill
ver and other metals, to say nothing
of diamonds and precious stones, will
be found while digging this hole to
pay for the expense, leaving the rev.
enue from "bar privileges" excursions,
ETC., to return very handsome profit
on the (w)hole investment. If we
could have a guarantee that this hole
would be only ten miles deep we
should rest easier. Eut what is to
hinder this Chicago digger piercing
the earth? For our part we believe
this is subterfuge ON his part, and
that he intends to go through to
China, and use this new route to
bring tea and Cinnamon into the Chi
cago market to the detciment of the
existing steamship and railroad lin q,
and to convert lake port into dir ct
&c
out New York and San Francisco.

No one in this county worried more or
exercised more energy in preparing for the
recent Democratic county convention than
the political editor and prophet of the Sun

many sweltering days did he spend in the
Interests of his favorites and when, at last,
the day for the battle arrived he dragged

THE LOST CREEK EXPLOSION.
Mine Inspector Stein Investigates
the Case Of DIishkell and Piper
Who Were Burned to Death.
The Testimony.

Mine Inspector William Stein has made
an Investigation of the circumstances sur
rounding the recent explosion of gas 10 a
breast Of Packer colliary No. A, whereby
Anthony Mishkell and Joseph Piper two
Polish miners of town, met their deaths,
aud has taEen evidence of the colliery en-
ployes
A HERALD reporter had conversation
with the Mine Inspector this morning, Just
before he took Lehigh Valley train for
Park Place. The Inspector said 81 have
fully Investigated the unfortunate affair
and L am satisfied in my own mind that
there is no foundation for the charges
made against the FIRE boss of the colliery
by friends of the two dead men. They say
that the deceased met the fire boss and ho
told them they could 60 into the breast, al
though be had not examined it. My inves-
tigation diseredits this story entirely.
THE fire boss is William Bainbridge.
Yesterday examined Hope, Noon and
Fritz, the three bottom men, and they
swear positively that they heard Balm
bridge warn Mishkell and Piper not to go
into their breast until he would return, as
there WAS gas in their place. The witnesses
also say that two Poles were present when
this warning was given. They could not
be found yesterday, but will be present at
the coroner's inquest. In addition to this
Bainbridge, the fire boss, swears he ex-
amined the place at $40 in the morning,
found gas there and warned the unfortunate
men,

Evening capital. (Annapolis, Md.) 1884-1910, 1891-06-23

Counsellor Reyell. chairman of the f.
nance committee to whom was referred
the city registers bin OF Sits. reported
70 the council last night. that he confer
red with the county commissioners with
reference to the payment. and the mat
ter was referred to their counsel After
some consultation the county declined
to pay the same. The Act Of 1890 chap.
SIS provides for the registration In An
napolis for 1891 by the register OF voters
of the city. but provides nothing as TO the
compensation Of such register. The same
Act in another section says; THAT each
OF said registration officers in the county
shall receive S75and no more per annum,
but clearly the June sitting Of the regis
ter of Annapolis has nothing to do with
the various sittings of the county regis
ter for which the above salary Is pro-
vided. The Counsellor thought, mas
much as the work had been performed
and the laborer was worthy of his hire,
and the registers had taken about one.
half the time they had at the county and
congressional elections, the committee
recommended the payment of one-half
the amount charged, or 500 for the
work. and the report of the committee
was adopted.
