FATALITIES AT SEA.
Large Increase Shown by the Report
of the Inspector General.

Large Increase Shown by the Report
of the Inspector General.
The records Of the United States
steamboat inspection service, which
during the last nineteen years has been
under the direction Of Gen. Dunont
as Inspector General, show that during
the last fiscal year the number of lives
lost on steam vessels was approximate
ly 36S. This was an increase over the
average Of the preceding eighteen
years Of lbs. This great increase was
caused by the large loss of life by the
foundering of the steamship Colima,
recently, off the Pacific coast This
makes the average for the last nine
teen years 247. The highest previous
annual loss was $50 in 1874. The low
| est was 1873, In 1856. Notwithstanding
| the great increase in the number Of
| vessels since 1S70-over 100 per cent
there have been but 759 disasters to
steam vessels, with loss of but 5,057
lives, the number Of passengers car
ried per annum having increased from
122, ,5S9, ,13O, carried in 1870, to not less
than $50, ,0OO, 900, carried in 1892.
The average loss of life under the law
OF 1852 was one person to every go, ISL
passengers carried, while under the act
Of 1871, which greatly improved the
efficiency Of the service, there was
only one life lost In 2,7OS, 1888 passen-
gers carried, or a reduction in the
number Of lives lost of nearly IL to
in proportion to the number of passen-
gers carried. The service consists Of
about 175 officers and clerks, one su-
pervising inspector general, ten super
vising inspectors of districts, under
whom are local inspectors, divided
among the various customs collection
districts Of the United States. One Of
the most striking instances Of the ben
efits derived from the powers con-
ferred upon inspectors under the law
Is the almost entire absence of intem-
perance at the present time upon the
part Of licensed officers.
An alleged defect in the laws, and
one which has caused much criticism,
is In the local inspectors power to in
vestigate the cause Of boiler explosions
and casualties to steam vessels, thus
giving the inspectors the right to pass
Judgment upon their own acts. The
present head Of the inspection service,
| Gen. Dumont, shares in the opinion of
the opponents Of such power, and has,
unsuccessfully however, endeayored
to have the laws amended to correct
the evil. AS long ago as 1889 he called
attention in his annual report to the
matter, and suggested n remedy in the
form Of a bill, which, however, never
became q law. The bill provided for
a court Of inquiry, to be appointed by
the Secretary Of the Treasury, to In
vestigate acts Of local inspectors in
granting licenses, etc, such court to
consist Of three supervising inspectors
Of other districts than the one in which
the inspector belongs. 1t is very likely
that this matter will again be brought
before Congress at the next session.

sumed at Bowling Green in the trial
of an important suit against the L. &
N. r. r. Co. for damages, brought by
Charley O'Dell for Injuries received
while in the employ of the company
as brakeman. The petition alleged
that in December, 1893, while in the
discharge of his duty at Guthrie, he
was seriously injured by the gross
negligence and carelessness of the
railroad company. In attempting to
step from one freight car to another
they separated and let him fall. He
claindthat the cars were not proper
ly coupled CT the accident would not
have happened and that the compa.
ny's neglect to have them properly
coupled caused his injuries. He
ask ID for damages in the sum of $lO.-
900. The jury settled the matter by
bringing in verdict for the defend
ant.

Shooting in MuhIeaberg County.

News reached the city only Tuesday
of sensational shooting in Mullen

time past q man named Invey,a stave
buyer from Rock port had been board
ing st the house of Alex Wick four

DEKovEN, KY, Jan 23-An expIo-
sion in coal mine caused by the ig-
hitting of gas occurred south OF here,
near Sturgis, at IL o'clock last night,
and of the five men who were
working in the slope not one is
left to tell the story of the awful death
.nndargrahnd.
About midnight last night tre-
mendous shock, carrying with it
muffled roar, awoko everybody in the
neighborhood, and party of citizens
rushed in the direction Of the sound.
The debris about the old Tate
s'ope, from which an opening was be-
log driven into the Sturgis shaft, soon
pointed out the nature and spot OF
the disaster. Lights were procured
and relief party started into the
hole of death to rescue, if possible,
the unhappy occupants. Having got
through the mass of coal, slate,
wrecked cars, ETC., left by the explo-
sion, the relief crew came upon the
bodies Of two dead mules, which were
used in the mines, and their worst
fears were about to be realizsd. Loud
shouts into the dark pit received no
reply, and the stiffness of death
reigned In the rooms whence a foul
odor of gas and powder came.
At the face Of the entry, where a
wall of coal of about one hundred
yards divided them from the men
who we're working toward them from
the shalt, the five miners of the slope
side were found in various positions,
all dead and nearly all badly burned.
The eyebslls of several protruded
from their sockets, and the bodies
presented sickening scene.
The dead men are as follows:
james Coffee, aged twenty-one,
married.
William Walton, aged fifty, large
family.
Robert Hall, aged forty, large iami-
| ly.
AL Hall, aged twenty, unmarried
Miles Fitzslmmons, aged forty five,
large family.
The explosion was 80 great that it
cracked the roof of the mine near the
entrance.
When the charrvd remains of the
vic inns were brought out and recog-
nizet by their families their cries
and lamentations were heartrending-
Not few miners think the ex-
plosion was caused by dust, but the
general opinion is that he gas, which
accumulated in the rooms while the
mines were abandoned, was rushed
forward by the falling of heavy SLATE
into the main opening and there
ignited by the lamps of the miners.
Three kegs of powder. one OF which I
WAS opened were found in the mine,
the two unopened kegs being exploded
and the one exposed being untouched.
The mines have been working daJ
and night, using doubl, force, the /
object being to drive north and
south from the shaft and the late
slope thus joining the mines together.
