FATAL FALL OF EARTH.
Blast at Mount Airy Tunnel
Caused Loosened Earth and
Rock to Fall Upon Four
Men Who Died Before Help
Gould Reach Them.

7
thousand tons of earth and stone
in the tunnel being cut at Ridge
vile for the B 4 O. Railroad
last Saturday afternoon, four
men were caught whilst at work
and entombed. They were:
Arthur Frazier. colored, labor
er, of Washington, ID. c., neck
broken and body badly crushed.
Douglass Hicks, colored, labor
er, of Baltimore.
Michael Coyne, aged 40 years,
of Fayette county, Pa, a fore
man of the works.
Michael CurranS, another fore
man, was known to be under the
many tons of earth and several
hundred men worked night and
day to recover his body.
The greatest excitement pre-.
vailed. Some believed there were
many more i'll the debris AS it
was Saturday no one could tell
by roll call, as often the work
men stop early and come to Fred
erick.
DR.. Jesse Downey was hastily
summoned and gave aid to sew
eral wounded workmen who were
also in the tunnel at the time of
the accident.
Coroner Thomas NJ. Waltz i'm
paneled jury of inquest, with
Charles \. Utz, foreman, on the
body of Frazier. After hearing
evidence the jury rendered a YER
diet generating the contractors,
Ii. &. Clements x Co., of Phila-
delphia, from all blame. The ac-
cident was considered unavoid-
able, and the workmen had been
advised of their danger and re-
QueSted to come out of the tunnel.
From the evidence adduced at
the hearing it appears that the
wOrkmen were in the tunnel about
100 feet excavating Az feet under
the surface, which was held up
by timber. About 80 or 60 of
them were in the drift when they
were sent for and requested to
come out, as a blast had been
set off in the shaft and the earth
was crumbling. They withdrew
hurriedly and as much earth had
not fallen after the lapse of 80
or 40 minutes a number of them
returned to their work.
1t was shown that the contrac.
tors were sinking "A shaft from the
surface about four feet in diam
eter down to the tunnel. They
had gotten down a considerable
distance, when a heavy charge of
dynamite was put i'll to loosen and
remove some rock. When the
charge went off it fairly shook
the surrounding earth, and when
the Workmen returned to see the
effect of the blast they found
great rents in the ground and the
earth crumbling.
Just an hour from the time the
blast was sent Off rumbling
sound was heard and crash,
when the fears of the blasters
were realized. The dynamite
had loOsened the earth to such an
extent that when the props below
gave away crater 40 feet i'll
diameter was made, carrying the
earth into the tunnel, buryln9
the workmen.

Fine Weather For Farmers.

The prolonged unfavorable
weather has made a late season
in all parts Of the county, but Il
most grateful change has taken
place within the past week and
it is highly probable that the
farmer will take every advantage
OF his present opportunities to
pillow, harrow and plant. Scarce
" any work had been done up to
Friday, except hauling manure,
but few hill fields were dry
enough for the pillow on Saturday
and the latest reports mention
some work accomplished at the
end of the week. The bright
sunshine with which the week
opened was highly favorable to
all plant growth and will largely
offset slight damage done to low
land crops by cold and wet.

THE KAISER.

AS far as Emperor William is con-
cerned it doesn't seem to be the wish,
but the fear, that is father to the
thought.-Chicag Record-Herald.
The German emperor might succeed
more happily as a speechmaker were
he to have some level headed man blue
pencil his thoughts before he gives
them utterance.-Boston Herald.
The kaiser is panied in spirit because
all Ibis people, do not love him as he
deserves to be loved. One trouble is
that he is not content to be esteemed
for what he is, but he demands adula-
ton for what he thinks he is.-Pitts-
burg Chronicle-Telegraph.
Emperor Williams complaint Of the
decentralization of public opinion" in
Germany and the growing lack OF re-
spect for authority" is a condemna-
ton of himself. No ruler can be re-
spected in these days who thrusts men
into prison for expressing their opin-
ions.-St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

THE SPLITTING NUISANCE.

If New York succeeds in stopping the

same.-Philadelphi Ledger.
They have begun to fight the street
car hog in New York, but are not rash
enough to predict that they will win
out this summer.-Chicago Record-Her-

There is serious need in Washington
for such a raid as that which resulted
SO successfully in New York and for a
general bestirring of the public con-
science on this subject.-Washing
Star.
The Baltimore ordinance has become
dead letter, and it is high time to
start in this city crusade modelled on
the New York pattern-one that shall
put an end to these nuisances and
teach the offenders that they must re-
spect the law and the rights of others.

A little persistence in this salutary
discipline will accomplish much for
public health and decency. The indis
criminate splitter is among the most
disgusting beasts in the whole range Of
the animal kingdom, and if he cannot
otherwise be taught to mend his ways
he should be imprisoned or transported.
