Finishes Its Work at Key West-Ready
to Return 10 Havana.
Key West, Fla, March 3.-The
Names court OF inquiry yesterday af-
ternoon went out to the barracks,
where all the survivors of the Maine
were mustered. The men were asked
If they had any changes or further
statements to make. Not a word
came from the ranks, and after whis-
pered consultation the work of the
court of inquiry at Key West came to
an end. The stenographers were kept
busy during the rest of the afternoon,
and caught up with their notes of the
testimony The proceedings at the
barracks lasted about an hour only,
and were conducted with great privacy
inquiry, said that so far as he knew
the court has no more work to do at
Key West.
The Mangrove is lying at her dock
with steam up, but ii is said on good
authority that the members of the
court will not leave until they receive
instructions through Rear Admiral
Slcard from Washington as to whether
they shall return at once to Havana.
Apparently the court has gained little
information during the Key West ses-
sions which could help explain the ex-
plosion.
Mayor Maloney issued IA proclama-
ton to the citizens of KY West yes
terday asking them to respect Admiral
Sicard's wishes to have the funeral of

COLLIERY FIRE.
Breeze of Excitement at Maple Hill Last
Evening.


At about 4:30 o'clock last evening some
miners in the Maple Hill coliery fired what
they called their good night blast in breast.
They were about to leave when one of them
discovered fire in the place where the shot
had been fired. The men hurried out and
notified the boss and arrangements were
made to put the fire out, which was accom-
plished shortly after six o'clock.
The fire was put out with two Babcock eX-
tinguishers and the work was directed by
Division Superintendent Rees Tasker Will
lam Richards superintendent of the Mahs-
noy district, and james Mcdonald, supern-
tendent of the st. Nicholas district. A corps
of fire bosses was also upon the scene.
The fire was in No. "a breast No. / plane,
south dip of the West Buck Mountain gang
way. 1t did little damage. After the fire
was extinguished an investigation Showed
that the firing of the good night shot had
ignited little gas which was lodging in the
top of the vein. This gas was ignited and
the fire communicated with a piece of can
vass and the boards of the manway.
News of the fire spread through the neigh
boring patches like wild fire, but it was al
most six O'Clock before it reached town The
report that Maple Hill colliery was on fire
caused no little excitement, as it is one of the
largest and latest improved mines in the
region. Mine Inspector Stein drove to the
colliery without awaiting abatement in the
severe snow storm that prevailed at the time
but the fire was extinguished before his
arrival

state convention at Harrisburg last
year, and flourished mildly for a time.
but finally dropped out Of sight just
as the agitation in favor of Congress-
man Stone began to take definite shape.
That there is something substantial
and practical back of this renewed
talk of Widener in connection with the
gubernatorial nomination is evidenced
by recent lively interest taken in the
subject by Republicans even in remote
sections of the state. One of the orig
inal members of the Ward Leaders
League declares that Quay Martin and
Magee agreed upon Widener for gov
ernor months ago.

SYSTEMS OF THE PAST.
Cut Rates and Like Humbugs Give Way
to Progress.


to Progress.
We make an offer that no other house in
the country can make. One Price clothing
means hundreds and thousands of dollars
saved to all people-rich and poor, but we go
still further If any of our customers find
five days after making purchase from US
that our prices are not cheaper than other
houses offer we will refund the money. No
other clothing house can get within mile of
us in bargain offers. One Price clothing, as
offered by us, means great saying to all our
customers, because it means the best in
quality, the best in style and make and at
the very lowest prices that the goods can be
marked at One Price has become the key
note of honesty and fair dealing all over the
country. Cut prices are no longer held out
by the larger clothing stores. 1t is only the
small stores that hang on to that humbug
system Many towns smaller than Shenar-
dOah have One Price clothing stores and we
propose to give the town at least one. We do
not sell a 81 suit to one man for 50, to another
for SIC. so and still another for $l2 This cannot
be done under the One Price clothing system.
You get from us all you pay for. There is
more money on cut rate sale, but in a big
store like ours too much clerk hire and wasted
time is required and we are content with the
One Price, quick sales and small profits
system. We ask only one favor; Inspect our
stock before purchasing elsewhere. Every
thing marked in the plainest and lowest
figures possible.
