Maine hospital for the insane, will make
an important recommendation in his

: In the report of the fish and game
commissioners in Thursdays Journal.
it is stated that 1876 small fish were re-
ceived June Is, from the United States
hatchery. These small fish We're steel
head trout. and the outlook for them is
very promising, the commissioners be
lieve.
The fish are common in California,
where they are regarded as a very
valuable food fish. Their nature is of
a migratory description. but it is
thought that they can be made to live
in landlocked waters. At any rate a
number have been put into Cross lake
to make the trial to see if they will live
there.
These fish are also known as steel
head salmon; but scientists recognize
more of the trout in them than salmon.
IT will take three years at least to
determine the full nature of this fish
il our waters, but great expectations
are held as to their future.
They are very hardy as was shown
by the number held over during the
summer Of the 1876 received in June,
all but i94 were liberated. OF the lat
ter only 13 died during the season.
The Penobscot and Aroostook rivers
received the greater part of the fish.

hopes of their being in time one Of
Names most popular fish. 1t is a
German fish, and it's there very much
liked. 1t is also found in New Eng
land in Lake Sunapee, N. H., and also
in Maine. in Floods pond. 1t is, how
ever. not well known, but there is un-
t.oubtedly good chance of its becom-
ing popular.
1t is very similar to our brook trout.

bright scarlet along the belly to the
tail and fins. 1t grows to be about
the size of the brook trout.
IT has one great advantage over the
latter in that it will spawn in the lakes
and ponds which will be most conven-
lent for stocking waters which have
M suitable outlets. These fish do not
rise to the fly but may be caught with
d spoon or bait.
The commissioners have some of
these fish at the Auburn hatchery,
where they are being closely watched

The Governor remained at the Cap

he left for Portland. He was accom-

The following report has been made
to the Governor and Council.
The committee to whom was referred

missioner for the change of the loca-

and that, without exception, they agree
that Portland is the most advantageous
city in the State for the permanent To-
cation of the agency.
Upon full investigation your com
mittee is of the opinion that Portland
is the most convenient place from
which to ship goods by rail, water or
express, and that the rates of freight to
supply the various city and town
agencies are more advantageous to and
from that point. Its facilities for COM

superior, to that of any other location
in the State.

MINE OFFICIALS BLAMED.
COrOner's Jury Finds That Thomas P.
Williams Death Was Partly Due TO
His Own ard Their Carelessnsss.

Coroner Longstreet conducted an in
quest Wednesday night in the case of
Thomas R. Williams. of llollister ave-
nue., who died from being roasted in
the explosion of gas in Storrs shaft on
Tuesday, Nov. 10. the jury met al
Ben Davis hotel in Dutch Gap, where
the testimony of the witnesses was
taken. The jury found that Williams
was partly to blame, but that the mine
officials were guilty of negligence.
First there was a map or rather n
tracing of the mine produced and 1t
was explained by Inspector Edward
Roderick to the jury. The main point
that was considered was what caused
the gas to accumulate where 1t did.
and whether or not the fire boss was
negligent IN not visiting daily the place
where the gas exploded and making
sure that it was safe.
The place where Williams set off the
gas was in n gangway driven at right
angles with another Sangway. And it
was driven in about $50 feet when
fault was met and it was abandoned.
The mine law says: "All underground
entrances to anv place not in actual
course of working or extension shall be
properly fenced across the whole width
of such entrances, 50 as to prevent per-
sons from inadvertently entering the
same"
Foreman Thomas Carson said he had
not been in the old gangway in two
weeks before the accident, but when
he was the ventilation was all right.
However, there was a danger sign
placed ut the entrance to the gang
way.
William Simms, the fireboss, whose
duty it Is to examine the section in
L.. a, Il Il
he had not been in the place since the
Wednesday before, which was six days
before the accident. He visited the old
workings only once week. There was
a board across the entrance to the
gangway on which was written Keep
Out of Here. DanGer!"
Simon Thomas, another trebosS in
the same shaft through the gas accu-
mulated became some Of the night driv-
ers left door open and the current
of air was disarranged, permitting this
old Sangway to choke up with gas.
The other evidence related to the find
ing Of Williams after the gas went
off. He went into the old gangway af-
ter u tie or a rail and walked into the
body of gas and set 1t off. The ver
dict of the jury was:
We, the undersigned jurors, find
that the said Thomas L. Williams came
to his death from an explosion OF gas
in Storrs' shaft, No. /, on Nov. 10. and
we further find that his death was due
i'm part to his own carelessness, and i'm
part to the negligence of the mine Of
ficials in not placing gate at a GER
tain point to divert the air current into
the gangway I'm which the explosion
occurred. We also find that the aban-
doned gangway was not properly fenced
and marked according to mine rules"

ADJUSTMENTS,

Tonight at the Academy Of Music

with several members of the original
company in the cast There is probably
no play of modern times that has en-
joyed the popularity that Sir Charles
Young's dual life story has. From the
first it has had the honor and distinc-
tion of being presented by a cast of art
lists, and its revival this year will cer-
tainly not be an exception in this di-
rection. The sale of seats indicates
that large audience will be present
tonight.
One of the most noted dramatic en-
gagements Of the season will be the
production of THE Fatal CARD at the
rockingham this and tomorrow even
ings and at Il matinee tomorrow for the
benefit of the West Side Wheelmen.
This play was the great success of the
season at Palmer's theater, New York,

COON HOLLOW AT ACADEMY
Attracted Two Large Audiences
to That Popuiar Pluy Housc.

Two large audiences saw "A Ro-
nance OF Coon Hollow" at the Academy
of Music yesterday. They were typi-
cal holiday audiences that applauded
the actors with an impartiality that
was wonderful The house presented
quite holiday appearance, too. Mana
ger Long had potted plants and ferns
banked in the lobby and about the
false boxes at the stage, which added
materially to the interior appearance
of the popular play house.
There is enough Of variety in "A Ro-
nance of Coon Hollow" to please any
kind of an audience. 1t has an abun-
dance Of sentimental and heroic pas
sages, and some of the scenic effects
are beautiful. During the action of the
drama selections We're rendered by the
Calliope quartette and Plantation
Brass band. There was also the liVeli-
est kind of buck and wing dancing by
the pickaninnies.
Among the exciting features of the
drama are the boat race between the
Robert T.. Lee and NatCheZ and the
scene at the cotton press.

Considered in its true import.
Thanksgiving Day in Scranton yester-
day was observed as it should be OBJ
served. The day invited a public cele-
bration of divine goodness and that
was the order of things as far as the
church going element of the city was
concerned.
Great as the preparations We're for
dinner. as Harriet Beechcr Stowe says
in "Oldtown,' everything was so con-
trived thas not soul should be kept
from the morning service of Thanks
giving. This seemed to apply to Scran-
ton. Wherever church service was held
and each congregation worshippcd
somewhere-the attendance was large
to overlooking.
There We're union services in the Penn
Avenue Baptist chrch. in the central
city, in the Plymouth Congregational
church on the West Side, in the Green
Ridge Presbyterian church and in the
Providence Presbyterian church.
