COULD NOT FIX RESPONSIBILITY.
Verdict of the Coroner's Jury on the Park
Place Disaster.

NEW YORK. Sept. 12 The investiga-
ton as to the causes of the Park place
disaster has been concluded. The coro-
ner, addressing the jury, said it ap-
peared to him that the question had
narrowed down to four cases, any one
of which might have caused the acci-
dent, viz. {; first fault in construction;
second, defects in material; third, over
weighing; fourth, explosion. The jury
found that the people killed lost their
lives by the collapse of the build

caused by the giving way of the
supporting iron columns near the
middle of the ground floor, due to
some sudden shock applied to said col
umns, and not primarily due to their ap-
parent inherent weakness. The jury was
unable to find whether the breaking of
these columns was due to an explosion
or not. The jury recommended legisla-
ton authorizing the fire department to
periodically inspect all buildings used
for printing, manufacturing and storage
purposes.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Sept. 12.-The
superintendent for the penitentiary
lessees at Briceville is preparing to pro-
tect the convicts there at all hazards.
Acting under the orders of Adjutant
General Norman, twenty-five rifles be-
longing to a local military company
here have been turned over to the super
intendent They We're shipped to Brice-
vile Thursday night. Several thousand
rounds of cartridges have also been sent
out.
The Law Must BE Obeyed.
The superintendent states that the
prison authorities will put courageous
men on duty as guards, and they will be
protected by ample Notifications and
barracks, which are being prepared in
side the prison stockade. Here the
guards will be ordered to maintain their
position in case of an attack on them, no
matter at what cost, and if attacked as
sistance will be sent them speedily.
Numerous Threats.
The superintendent says he almost
daily receives threats telling him he
must leave the district, or he will be
l,,llc1 IL ofAo,,t,C,, 10
and does not propose to do so. Much of
the intimidating talk he attributes to
reckless men who seem to wish to stir
up strife among the miners. While an
outbreak may occur at any moment, he
says that if it does come before the
legislature has finally acted it will be
against the wishes of those who are
acting as leaders of the miners. While
this is the situation, he says that among
the most conservative there is a strong
undercurrent of determination that the
convicts must all leave the region for
ever.
Knoxville people have generally aban-
doned any idea that the legislature will
abrogate the lease. No one ventures
any predictions as to how or when some
decisive step will be taken by the miners
but the opinion is general that some
step will be taken, and the mine author
tiles propose to go ahead and work the
convicts. No man without the right to
be there will be allowed inside the stock
ade, and the guards are so instructed.
In case the miners attempt to release the
convicts, the state will be called on for
prompt and efficient aid to protect
them.
Volunteers Plenty.
Thursday night the superintendent of
the Briceville stockade met a number of
the members of a local military com
pany, and asked for volunteers to go to
Briceville as guards in the employ of
the company. Out of fifteen or twenty,
eight volunteered to go there in the
morning Others will go. twenty-five
