THE TWIN SHAFT DISASTER.
Report of the Commission to the Governor
EnrrshndoMrh.

Mine Inspectors Stein, Rodcrick aud Brcn-
nan, the commissioners appointed by Cover
nor Hastings to investigate the Twin shaft
disaster at Pittston, will present their report
to the Governor about the middle of this
month. After giving the history Of the
mine, the facts and circumstances leading up
to the cave-in and the methods pursued to
recover the bodies, the report will
state that Superintendent Laugan, unfortuu-
ately one Of the men entombed, erred in
judgement in allowing the men to work in
the midst of the squeeze ON that fatal sun
day morning. Further it will say that even
though there were no squeeze, 1t was not safe
to work in the mines at that time on account
of the dangerous bodies of gas which sud
denly appeared. The report will not ceusure
Mine Inspector Mcdonald. 1t will argue that
as Mr.. Mcdonald had half u hundred col
lieries to look after, it could not be expected
that he could visit any one or more of them
every week or two.
The report so far may be summed up as
follows l. Description Of the mine and its
pillars, chambers and gangways theory of
the defect in the strata by disocation; 2, the
superintendent erred in Judgment in allow
ing the men to 90 down with such a danger
Gus squeeze in progress and with such a
sudden appearance of gas; 3, the operators
cannot be held responsible for the presence
of the men there at that time; 4, Mine
Inspector Mcdonald cannot be held RESPONSE
BILE because he was not informed of the
seriousness Of the squeeze.
The report will recommend that the num-
ber Of inspectors be increased, or that there
be assistants; that operators and the inspec-
tor confer as to the manner of working the
mine, that the working of the mine should
be from the foot to the head, and not from
the head to the foot That gangways be
driven from the shaft into the coal and then
start to work from the end of the gangway
into the shaft. The commission will insist
that this last recommendation be embodied
in law.

The people of Shenandoah have no reason
to go away from home next Saturday, Labor
Day, for amusement. They will be accom-
modated in this respect by the Grant Band,
which will hold a monster picnic at Columbia
park on that day. Besides, the band needs
the support of the residents Of the town,
and they deserve it, No other town in the
interior of the state can boast of such a
musical organization and it is seldom that
they appear before the public for aid. Give
the boys encouragement by attending their
picnic.

The Green Mountain state declared for
Josiah Grout, Republican, of Derby, for
governor yesterday and for the Republi-
can state ticket entire by majority that
equaled the prediction of the most conf
dent Republican managers. Returns from
the distant towns are, as usual, rather
slow in coming in, but the count in all
sections of the state shows substantial Re-
publican gains and indicating that the
majority of the Republican state ticket
will be about 10000. This is the largest
majority ever given for governor in this
state the nearest approach to it being in
1888, when the majority was 27,6lS The
Republican leaders claim that the major
ity may reach $4,000, and even $1,000.
H. Henry Powers, the Republican con-
gressiOnal candidate in the First district,
and William w. Grout in the Second, are
both reelected by increased majorities,
and the state senate and house are in the
control of the Republicans by practically
the same majority as two years ago.
The weather generally was cool and fair
throughout the state, and brought out
hundreds of Republican voters who have
not been to the polls for years. Practi-
cally the full Republican vote was cast
On the other hand the lack of organiza-
ton in the Democratic ranks was very
apparent. Many Democrats who do not
indorse the platform of the Chicago con-
vention remained away from the polls,
while the more dissatisfied ones voted for
the Republican ticket The Populist and
Prohibition vote was practically the same
as four years ago.
The ticket elected follows: Governor,
Josiah Grout Of Derby lieutenant gov
ernor, Nelson w. Fisk of Isle La Motto ;
state treasurer Henry f. Field of Rutland; ;
secretary of state, Chauncey w Brownell
of Burlington; state auditor, Franklin d..
Hale of Lunenburg; congressman, II.
Henry Powers and William w. Grout.

The Green Mountain State Declared For
Josiah Grout, For Governor, and For the
Republican State Ticket Entire by
Majority That Equaled the Pre-
diction of the Most Confident

WHITE RIVER JUNCTION, W., Sept. g.
The Republican majority in the old Green
Mountain State, the first in the Union in
which the people have had the opportunity
to vote squarely on the issues between the
Republican and PopOcratic parties for this
year, is climbing beyond all calculations and
precedents. 1t now promises to be anywhere
from 80, 900 to 10000, although 50 many un-
expected gains are coming in that calculation
has stopped and hopes which seemed absurd
yesterday are being exceeded
Voters seemed to feel that the RESPONSE
bility of utterng the sentiment of the
country was upon them. Republicans and
Democrats both knew that Republican vic
tory in the state was certain, but the Dem
ocrats here have been for years proud of
their position as the pluckiest and most
faithful of all their party in holding their
faith in the face of overwhelming odds.
This time, however, many Of them seemed
to have real pleasure in helping the Repub-
licans to pile votes in the boxes against free
silver free trade and the boy orator.
From every part of the state the same
story comes. Men of both parties who had
not been to the polls in years turned out to
vote the Republican ticket. This was
notably the case among the farmers, who
| expressed their resentment Of the state
ment that they were tainted with 16 to l
ideas by coming to the polls from the most
remote back districts.
The rejoicing as the returns come in is
shared by Democrats and Republicans. They
seem equally proud that their state has
spoken so decisively.
