The inquest into the responsibility for
the Exeter mine disaster of SATURDAY.
week, when eight mon were killed by
three loaded cars falling down the shaft
upon them, was ended at the session of
the coroner's jury on Friday. The jury
met in the town hall at Exeter, and,
after reviewing the testimony and again
examining the head of the shaft and the
tracks leading to it, returned verdict
saying that the engineer, Samuel Price,
was to blame for the accident.
Price was making flying switch with
train OF loaded coal cars, past the
shaft. He had neglected to set the
switches properly, and the cars ran off
on side track, and, after smashing
the head braces of the shaft, toppled
down upon the carriage, 800 feet below,
in which there were ten men,

OF six sleepers, an express and three

ten miles further up, at the summit.
The grade on an average is 95.7 feet to

this single track, the system Of train
management is most careful. The dis

seemingly unavoidable, wet rails causing
the west-bound train to become un-
manageable.
Train No. 6, the night express run
ming between Buffalo and New York
arrived in Wilkesbarre on time. After
leaving the station for the run east
another engine was attached to help
pull the train up the steep mountain
grade. The conductor and engineers
received orders that they would pass
train No. 3, bound west, on siding No Z,
one mile west of Newport station. This
gave them the right of way, and the
locomotives under heavy head of
steam, started up the mountain.
Train No 5, which runs between New
York and Buffalo, was one hour late at
order to go in on No. : siding and let
train No. pass. The engineer under
stood his orders perfectly well, and on
the run down the heavy mountain grade
he tested the air-brakes several times
and they worked all right He was
running at the rate of about thirty miles
an hour.
When he approached No. : crossing,
however, and applied the brakes, he
found that they would not hold. He
was aware that tho up train must not
be far away, but he did not lose his
presence of mind. He whistled for the
hand brakes, reversed his engine, and
did all in his power to stop the train,
but it was no use. In less than thirty
five seconds the two trains met, and the
terrible crash followed.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least one
dreaded disease that science has been
able to cure in all its stages and that is
catarrh. Halls catarrh cure ia the only
positive cure now known to the medical
fraternity. Catarrh being q constitu-
tional disease requires q constitutional
treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken
internally. acting directly upon the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation OF
tho disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the constitution
and assisting nature in doing its work.
The proprietors have so much faith in
it's curative powers. that they offer one
hundred dollars for any case that it fails
to cure. Send for list Of testimonials.

With downcast eyes and weary air;
And yet month ago he might
Have had his pick among the fair.
He went away, with martial tread,
To help set stricken Cuba free;
No man among the soldier band
Was more admired than he.
But they sent him home, and ne er

May he assume a warriors part;

Alas, he's got a cigarette heart!

EDITOR TRIBUNE.-Some one sent me
clipping from your paper concerning
the "swindle" at Milmay, and asked me
to state the facts. This | am prepared
to do as soon as get all the facts that
are available. You state that parties
about Freeland received papers for their
land that purported to be deeds, and
were not. If there are any who paid in
full for their land, and have not receiv-
ed proper deed, / would like to COM
municate with them. | would advise all
who have deeds to property in Milmay
to have them recorded at once, if no
recorded already.
If their property is in Atlantic county
send the deed and S1.35 to Lewis p.
Scott, Mays Landing, N. j. If the land
Is in Cumberland county, send deed to
county clerk, Bridgton, n. j.
Again, If there are people who were
''ordered" off the colony, | desire to
know that; also, if there are parties
who paid Mr.. Moore, and have his re-
ceipts, | would like to know the amounts
paid, and the date Of their receipts and
the number of their lot, and the tract it
is on.
There are many things in your article
that are trne-sadly true; but there are
other things that are far from truth.
We produce sweet potatoes that rank
with the best in the New York markets;
and our Strawberries are not surpassed
by those of California, in quality.
As far as natural advantages are con-
cerned, Freeland people have not been
swindled; but in the way the land com
pany did business, there was swindle
on large scale.
Those of us who are here, and others
who bought property here, are taking
steps to make this company release
these farms from mortgage of $50, 900
that was put upon the company's land
few years ago.
LII buyers in lower Luzerne will write
me clearly as to what they have, and en-
close stamp for reply, | will let them
know what can be done for thom with
ont charge.
| came from Luzerne county here,
and am well-known by County Super
intendent 7. B. Harrison and City Su-

and have spent several months in un-

up here, and, if those who can, will as
sist in giving information, we can soon
get this colony upon foundation, and
with but little expense.
could tell you of many of the devices
used here by the land company but
prefer to use these things in court be-
fore we give them to the public.
Hoping that you will give space to
this much of the truth for the purpose
OF assisting those who may think they
have lost all, | am yours, j. B. Doty.
