Mr.. Pinckney, the State mine inspector
of West virginia, who has been investi-
p.o.a..;oo eating the causes of the
Red Ash Mine explosion,
w. "'''s which occurred recently
in that State has completed his report
and submitted it to Governor Atkinson.
He holes that the explosion was due to
an accumulation of gas, caused by the
opening of an air door which brought
in fresh air current to make short
instead of a long current. leaving the
interior of the mine without proper ven
tilation.
Whatever the cause it does seem to us
that in this age of science and progress
there is no excuse for such explosions
in the coal mines. The men who go
down into the bowels of the earthh to
dig out the coal for the great industries
of the country and for the comfort Of
the Inhabitants generally should be pro-
tecteG, and If, through the carelessness
of officials, explosions occur, by which
life is lost, those who are responsible
therefor should be made to pay the
penalty. 1t is the duty of the State
authorities in which there are such mines
to exercise the greatest care that these
VINO work may be protected in life and
limb.

FINEST NEW YORK PULPIT.
Beautiful Work Lately Completed
 for All Angels Episcopal Church,

All Angels Episcopal church, West End avenue and Eighty-frst street, has just acquired what is described as the finest pulpit in America. It is the work of Karl Bitter. and was given to the church by Mrs. Sarah Cornell in memory of her husband and two sons. The style of the pull pit is Italian renaissance. changed slightly to conform with the interior of the church, says the New York Herald.
 Standing against a column, the pill lar has for it's founda tion a repre- sentation of Moses with the tablets of law, and corbeIs presenting the head of the prophets, intended to symbolic that the Gospel preached from the pulpit is based upon the law and the prophets.
 A choir rail, which leads up to the pulpit rail and surrounds the pulpit itself, is decorated with a procession of angels. Above the pulpit is a can opy of oak, surmounted by an angelic figure holding a trumpet, and forming an apotheosis of what is begun below in the procession.
 There has also just been used for the first time in the same church an altar and reredos. erected by mem bers of the Hoffman family in mem ory of the most liberal patron of All Angels church. the late Rev. Dr. Charles F. Hoffman. The altar is sur mounted by canopy of brass, per haps the only one of the kind in this country, although such are common in northern Italy. The new rectory of the parish, costing S3o,ooo, is all most completed.

CHAPTER K.


 THE KNICKERBOCKER BANK
 Richard Dunlap was man who had never missed a train nor been late ln keeping an appointment On the morning following Sprague's dinner party, he walked briskly down Broad- way from City Hall. It was New Years day; the great thoroughfare was deserted. As he turned into Wall street, the hands of the clcck in Trinity steeple pointed to three minutes of nine. The fnancier pulled out his chronometer, found that the clock in tn old belfry was right, and quickened his pace,
 Wall street slumbered peacefully and silently, like a battlefield after the roar of the cannon has been hushed. after the victors and the van quished have disappeared, leaving be- hind them only the ghosts of the slain The deathlike stiffness was op- pressive.
 At last, as Dunlap reached the Knickerbocker bank, the clock in the belfry struck the hour. The reporter was not there The banker uttered an ejaculation of annoyance. He looked up and down the street. There was no one in sight. He resolved to give Sturgis five minutes grace, and began to pace back and forth before the entrance to the bank. Then thought struck him. There was an- other entrance on Exchange place that generally used by the employees and officers. Perhaps the reporter was waiting there. Dunlap walked around to Exchange place and glanced up the street. He saw man stand ing in the gutter and bending low over the curb. Dunlap advanced to obtain Q front view of him and rec ognized Sturgis. The reporter had not noticed his approach; he held a magnifying glass in his hand and seemed deeply interested in a minute examination of the smooth-worn curb.
 Good morning, Mr. Sturgis,' said the banker, have you lost some thing?"
 The reporter looked up quietly.
 No, Mir. Dunlap; 1 have found some thing-something which may possibly prove to be a hyphen."
 "A what?" asked the banker, per pleXed.
 "A hyphen connecting two parts of very pretty puzzle.'
 Dunlap stared curiously at the curb.
 II can see nothing there," said he.
 Sturgis handed him the magnifying glass.
 Now look again."
 He pointed out a particular portion of the curb. Dunlap looked in the di- rection indicated.
 T see what looks like dried mud, dust particles, and little dark spot or stain."
 'Yes,'' said Sturgis, "that dark spot is the hyphen. There were probably

MT Henry, Who is one of the oldest minstrel man. agers in the world, has always enjoyed the reputation of furnishing d capital performance, and those who saw his show when presented here last sea son Will not need any assurance to that effect. It was common talk then that 1t was not one whit inferior to Vests or Primrose and DockStader'S MT Henry is thoroughly progressive and keenly alive to what is novel in min strelsy and he has an array of novel, ties this season that would be the mak- ing of any minstrel performance.

he leaned back In his chair and looked up into space for what seemed to Dun lap an interminable length of time. Then at last he glanced at the banker, who could hardly contain his growing impatience.
 T am ready to go on now,' said Sturgis, reaching for sheet of paper, upon which he began to draw with ruler and pencil.
 At last!" sighed the banker.
 "Yes; but my first, as the charades say, is a question:
 'Another!" gasped Dunlap; "when is my turn to come?"
 'Just few more," replied Sturgis; "and then your turn will come for good"
 Well, out with your questions then, if you must" said Dunlap, seating him self resignedly in his chair.

others like it on the sidewalk yester- day afternoon, but they have been ob- liberated by the pedestrians. Here, however, are some that have re- mained."
 As he spoke, he led Dunlap to the Exchange place entrance of the bank, and pointed out number of similar spots on the stone steps.
 Fortunately" he said, as if speak ing to himself, fortunately the de- tectives entered through the front door last night so that they did not inter- fere with this portion of the trail.''
 But what are these spots?" asked the banker.
 ''They are blood-stains,' replied the reporter. q have every reason to be- Heve them to be human blood. But that question I can settle positively as soon as we are in the bank, for I have brought a powerful microscope. Let us enter now, if you like; l have seen all there is to be seen outside. By the way, do you know this key?"
 He held up large steel key of com plicated structure
 Why exclaimed Dunlap, surprised, that looks like the key to the Ex- change place door. Where did you find it?''
 Tn the gutter, near the sewer open ing at the corner"
 But how did it get there?" asked Dunlap, anxiously.
 Perhaps I shall be able to answer that question presently" said Sturgis. Shall we go in now? No, not that way. Let us enter by the Wall street side, if you please ...t'
 A couple of minutes later the outer door of the Knickerbocker bank was unlocked.
 Excuse ne if I pass in first" said Sturgis, entering. 'I wish to see something here"
 He bent low over the tiled entrance, with the magnifying glass in his hand.
 ''It is too bad,'' he muttered to him self presently. ''They nave trodden all over the trail here. An! what is this?''
 ''What?" inquired Dunlap.
 The reporter vouchsafed no reply to this question, but asked another
 ''Is Thursday general cleaning day at the bank?"
 s'Yes,'' answered the banker. , ''F,very evening, after the closing hour, the floors are swept, of course, and the desks are dusted; but Mon days and Thursdays are reserved for washing the windows, scrubbing the floors. and so forth.n.
