Work Done Since Saturday
Makes Officials Jubilart.
.F0ILED ON SUNDAY, TOO
IL Is Generally Believed That the Fire is
Entirely out, But Extraordinary Pre-
caution win be Taken Before Making
Explorations For the Missing Bodies.

The work of extinguishing the fire at
Colorado since Friday night has given the
officials every encouragement to believe
that their efforts will be crowned with
success as little or no fire can now be seen,
but the samples of gas taken from the
immediate vicinity of the burning place
gives evidence that little fire still ex-
lists.
Samples of the gas have been taken
from the mine and tested by the Shaw in
strument. An instrument sent from the
Bethlehem institution has also been used.
These tests are made frequently every
day, so as to guard against accidents to
the men by the breathing of gases.
Mine Inspector Stein is a daily visitor
to the colliery and sometimes spends from
ten to twelve hours day there, and he
has taken the same risks as those taken
by the workmen actually engaged in
fighting the fire. In an interview last
night he said the precaution manifested
by the Lehigh Valley Coal Company
officials to protect their men against
accident has been a great source of salts
faction to him.
The counter gangway on the south dip
has been opened, but no fire was found,
although the timber was charred into
beautiful charcoal. The Mine Inspector
has sample of it at his home. 1t was
taken from within 1875 feet of where the
two missing men were working. A keg
of powder was found within 80 feet of the
unfortunates' working place and was
taken from the mine intact. A dinner
can was also found and the bread in it was
toasted hard.
Mr.. Stein and others went forward &c
the "buggy" the men had loaded but the
heat was 70 intense it was dangerous tc
remain longer than two or three minutes
On Sunday all the openings where any
fire previously existed were traversed and
the officials returned jubilant. They are
confident they have put the fire out, al
though they will continue removing tht
coal and rock at several places for weeks
and keep water running on the places al
| the same time.
During the explorations yesterday {
party got twenty-seven feet inside of the
buggy" the missing men had loaded bu
| a fall on the counter gangway prevented
them going further and the heat is still
so intense the men cannot work at thi
point.
The Mine Inspector, in consultation
with the officials, decided not to ALLOW
search for the missing men until the TEN
perature of that part of the mine has beer
| reduced, so that the searching party cal
explore with safety.

Election, Tuesday, Nov. 6, 81.

There is no harm in carrying
ones religion into his politics, al
belt they make strange bed fell
lows, but WREN 1t comes to max
ing ones religious differences a
political question then it is time
to call a halt and throw up the
sponge. Political lines drawn along
the line Of church differences are
as un-American as they are un-
justifiable. In the name of all that
is sacred do not carry sectional
intolerance and religious bigotry
to that unwarranted length. The
religious views of an individual
are his own personal property and
it is an imper Thence for the state
to intermeddle there. Nothing
that it is an impertinence for the
state to NEEDLE in is rightfully a
political matter.

Notwithstanding the increase in
school Accommodations in this city
this year there are hundreds I'M
able to secure admission to the
classes of the public schools. In
order partially to meet this want a
division has been made in the pri-
mary schools, and the attendants
on the primaries will only receive
half day tuition, thus doubling the
attendance in this grade. By this
means places will be made for at
least 800 children who would other
wise be left out in the cold. AS the
LIGHT remarked few days since,
the school authorities of San An
tonic must arrange to add another
thousand seating capacity to the
city schools annually, if they would
keep pace with the increased popu-
latiOn.

street, for instance, shows good in
tentions on the part Of the city,
but the character of the work will
not stand the inspection of good
roadmaster. For the first 20 yards
from Commerce street the broken
rock and gravel was of the requi-
site fineness, about a two.inch cube,
but as the work progresses the
gravel is three or four times that
coarse and will not lie close enough
to prevent the fine gravel that tops
the road bed from working down
and forcing the coarse stones to the
surface. No stone should ever be
put into a road bed larger than
will screen a two inch cube, un-
less it be the first flat
course OF stone at the bottom of
the road bed on which the mac
adam and gravel are superimposed.
San Antonio never will have
smooth streets until this plain fact
is accepted. The original Mac
Adam allowed no stone in his
roads that would not pass through
a twO.inch screen, and this was
the secret of the smoothness and
durability of his work.
