SINKING OF A TUG BOAT.

Captain Charles G. Cannon, of Cam

night, told the story of the loss at sea
of the tug James Bowen. of Philadel-
phia, and the drowning of ten men
The entire crew. The dredge, towed by
the Bowen, sailed from Norfolk on
Thursday last for Philadelphia, the
headquarters OF its owners, the North
American Dredging Company. The
tug and tow lay in Hampton Roads uu-
til Monday morning last, awaiting fsir
weather. At ten o'clock start was
made. At9 o'clock that night, when
off Hog Island, it began TO blow gale

A YALE professor says the suffering

heritage from Spain; that they have
been "illusioned" by Spain, and that it
is the duty of the United States to dis

American soldiers must ''mow them
down" by the thousand, and thereby
deprive them of life and illusions at the
same time: But, where might makes
right, as is now the case in this country,
it makes no difference whether things

up Of salaries in the District Attorney Office,
and is as follows;
CARD.
1T is true that we have investigated the
District Attorneys office, and its record for
the past six years has been ventilated: that
we called attention in d cember, 1898. to the
loose methods and careless business conduct
Of the Office during the term Of District At
torney Bechtel and the former term; that we
offered to furnish the detailed particulars of
each case.
1t is true that in March, 1892 we referred
these charges to the Commissioners for
action; that in April, 1899 we referred them
to the members of the court and requested
action that we would have taken if we had
the power, to prevent continuation Of the
violation of law during several years in the
Office Of the District Attorney and gave q
detailed list of cases occurring during the
last three years alone, some SO in number
1T is true that in June, 1899 we called
the attention of the Controller concerning
payments of salaries in this District Attor-
uey's office, saying the Office owed the county
some $1,000 that was overpaid instead of
the county owing the District Attorney S
Office some $4,000 as claimed, and that pay
ments for salaries in that office be limited to
the actual legal earnings of the office, and
that such action be taken TO recover the bal
ance as you (Controllerl may deem proper
1T is true that since this time no salary
has been paid to the District Attorney or his
! assistants, and no steps have been taken by
them to collect it.
This mismanagement Of the office of the
multiplication of cases has cost the county
each year for over six years at least $40 900
to $4,000 year in increased fees to the Dis
trict Attorneys office and to justices, con-
stables and other court costs.
These facts have all been made public
and the Miners Journal Of the latter part OF
July, 1899, shows what difference there has
been in the amount of costs, since the inves
tgation by US, falling OFF of over one.third
the cases and a saving of some $4,000 this
year alone.

FOUR MEN SMOTHERED.
Caught In u Rush Of oulm at Lawrence
COlliery.

Coiliery.
The Lawrence colliery. at Mahanoy Plane.
was the scene of most distressing accident
Saturday, nghtat nine o'clock Four out of
seven men metdeath by being smothered by
sudden rush of culm from the surface into
the breast in which they we're engaged in
making repairs.
The victims were Michael Drabig, Hun
garian "a years old, single and resident Of
Maizeville; George Lutchar, Hungarian. 80
years old, single, resident of Maizevile;
George BOxis Pole, 33 years old, resident Of
Gilberton and leaves a wife aud child Gus
tave KOntawicz, Pole 80 years old, resident
Of GilbertOn, leaves wife aud three chill
dren
The bresst in which the accident occurred
Is a quarter of a mile from the slope. The
culm from the breaker of the colliery is
washed out through troughs and scattered
evenly over the surface above the breast
where the men were smothered to a depth Of
from 16 to 20 feet. The breast was worked
up about 50 yards from the gangway aud
stopped there, leaving 125 feet Of coal
between the face of the breast and
the surface TO prevent a cave-iu, and also as a
safeguard to keep water from running into
the mine. But, it seems, that at this partic-
ular point the overlying strata must have be
come friable and dislocated, and during the
past few months the measures must have been
spaling off until the thickness became so
thin that an opening to the surface
took place Saturday night. With the
water from Fridays rains. the culm
or silt, rushed through the small
crevces, blocking the gangway and the
monkey, or return, airway and forced the
seven men working in that airway out with
considerable violence, westwardly. Three Of
the men escaped down 24l chute and reached
the gangway in safety. The four victims
must have been following them and in the
rush. were oYertaken by the culm and
smothered to death. Had the men continued
out the return airway westwardy, instead
of down the chute, all would have escaped.
Two mules were abandoned in the gang
way by the driver when the rush of cum
took place and were held there hitched to
the wagon. The culm gathered about them
until it filled up to their heads. The mules
were taken out alive last night.
Kontawicz's body was recovered at six
o'clock this morning. 1t was in 241 chute.
From the position of the body it was evident
that when the victim was smothered he was
in the act of getting through the manhole of
the chute The other bodies are still missing,
but their recovery is expected before to-mor-
row.
From investigations thus far made it would
seem that the accident was one that could
not be foreseen. Mine Inspector William
stein. Inspector r X. Edwards and Surveyor
W. G. Gregory, of town, spent the greater
part of yesterday, last night and to-day at the
colliery.
