recognition in the administration of the
affairs of the country. When the Supreme
Court handed down an opinion some time

equal and unfair measure could have been

been A more just and equitable measure
than the law it stood, for then each

FOUR MINERS sUFFOCATED.
A Pole Ignited a Can of Powder and
Caused Explosion.

WHEELING. ". Va, May 2l.-The first
reports of a disastrous explosion at the
Mononsalia mine near Fairmont to-day
were wildly exaggerated and number of
very sensational stories have been sent
out over the country. The exact facts are
as follows: At 1870 o'clock this afternoon
a Pole carelessly ignited a can Of powder
in mine No 4. Of the Monongalia Coal and
lowed. The accident occurred in the main
air course leading to mine No. , about
five hundred feet from the mouth
OF mine No 4. and the smoke
was thus driven through the. differ
ent parts of the mine, suffocsting four min
ers Quite a number of others we're ser
ously. but not fatally affected by the smoke.
The names of the dead arc: {. L. Bertcher,
an old man who leaves a large family;
William Shaver aged sixteen: Luke Verika
and Andrew Dunloe. The last two are for
Mine Inspector d. VI. Barr is on the
ground and is making an investigation. An
inouest will be held tomorrow. The Monon-
gala mines are the principal works i'm the
upper Monongahela coal field, and the COM
pany is headed by ex-United States Senator
ali the dead and injured were taken out
of the mine Immediately after the accident.
The injured will ali recover. as they were
only hurt by inhaling smoke. AS soon as
the smoke cleared away IL was found that
no damage whatever had been done to the
mine, so that work VIII not be interrupted.
There Is no danger of firedamp whatever In
these mines. which regarded among
the safest and best equipped in the country.

KENRICK'S ESTATE.
The Fight for Possession of the Arch
bishops Three Millions.

ST. LOUIS, May 21.-An insanity inquiry
in the Proba te Court was contemplated two
weeks ago by the attorneys who brought
suit Saturday to dispossess Archbishop Ken
rick of his immense property holdings. This
course OF action would be more speedy than
the present procedure, but the lawyers
hected that the Roman Catholic community
would be shocked. Hence suit was brought
to divest Archbishp Kenrick of title on ac-
count of his age and incapacty for trans
acting business. Attorneys interested in the
present and others who have been
advisers of Archbishop Kenrick in the past
differ about the details Of the will or wills.
Mr.. r. Graham Frost, one of the attor-
reys for the plaintiffs in the suit fled Sat
Urday, said to-day that Archbishop Ken
Iick's latest will left all his property to
Father Brady and by q codcil bequeathed
life annuities of COO apiece to the Misses
Eustace. cousins of Archbishop Kenrick.
gentleman, who was very close TO Arch
bishop Kenrick as an adviser for many
Mr. Frost, was made about ten years ag5
shortly after Archbishop Ryan had beer
transferred TO Philadelphia and Father
Brady appointed vicar-general. This gentle
man AYERS that no codicil was added TO this
will. The queerest feature of the whole
case is that Archbishop Kenrick is said to
have made a will only a year ago. This
instrument was drawn by Mr.. A. J. p
Garesche and it was a declaration that the
testator held everything In trust anu ne
Archbishop Kain. who was named exc
cutoT. The declaration of trust made in
this will is the very thing that the courts
are to be asked to affirm matter of law.
But this will leaving everything to Arch
bishop Kain is lost. or at least it cannot
have been brought. Mr.. Gareschc and
gentleman. believed to be Major Lindsay,
were witnesses to this last will. The near
est heirs of Archbishop Kenrick are his
