BLAME FOR GATES DISASTER.
C0r0ner's Jury Finds Mine was I'M
properly Ventilated and that Fatal
Shot was Unauthorized.

CONNELLsvILLE, April 13-Coroner
Frank III. Taylor continued the inves-
tigation into the explosion In the
Gates mine Of the American Steel and
Wire company here to-day. Mine
foreman Robert Nelson who was Sc
verely injured in the explosion was
the chief witness. He was very weak
and frequently hesitated. He said
that from the time Fire Boss Michael
Callahan had quit on Thursday till
the day of the explosion, five days
later, he had been on duty Is hours a
day. He said that he had thought
the mine safe. He said that no ex-
animation for gas had been made for
several hours before the explosion
The jury returned the following YER
dict:
1--WE find that Gibson Gilmore,
George Petesco James Murphy and
James Wilson came 70 their death
from an explosion of gas in the Gates
mine of the American Coal & Coke
company, German township, Fayette
county, Pa, on March 25, 1901, caus-
ed by shot fired by Michael Gobel in
said mine when gas was present in
dangerous quantities. We also find
that said Michael Gobel fired the shot
that caused the explosion without
authority and contrary to the State
mining laws. We further find that
standing gas was present ia said mine
in dangerous quantities in the various
working places, in violation of the
mining laws: and that the reason snch
gas was present was owing to improp-
er and deficient ventilation Of the
mine and the failure Of the acting
mine foreman and fire boss to keep
the mine clear of standing gas; and
that they failed to keep the men from
entering the mine when gas was pres
ent In dangerous quantities.

West Virginia Farms.

West Virginia is not known as a

farms than one has an idea. The

Virginia can raise anything that is

THE TOWN PARK.
What Are we t'oing to do About 1t
We are Losing Our Opportunity.

The agitation of a town park that
seemed to have so much promise of
success last fall has not had the at
tention it deserves with the opening
of Spring.
In the meantime the suburban
lands are being land out in town let's
and will soon be dotted over with
houses, and the opportunity for a
convenient and shady park is get
ting less and less. We are making
the mistake Of building up our ter
ritory and leaving no breathing
place that will serve as resort for
our people during the hot season.
This is a mistake shat we will re.
greet in future years. A modern
town without public park is not
in it. 1t does not meet the ideals of
an up to-date town. It lacks one of
the prime essentials to the health
and comfort of a population. The
aesthetic ought to 20 along with the
useful. 1t won't do to give oyer the
town entirely to business brick
walls, and hot streets. We must
cultivate the beautiful along with
the industrial.
But the disposition is to neglect
this, and the bigger we grow the
stronger will this disposition be-
come. There is no evidence Of a
public nature, even now. that the
population of this town which prides
itself on its high culture and
refined taste, has any love OF the
beautiful. Even our court house
square has not single ornament to
relieve its barren and desolate APP
pearance. It is only here and there
that private residence comes to
the rescue Of our equation.
Who will move in this matter and
save US from growing into bleak
and bare aspect of simple business
desolation. Since our Town Coun-
ellis and County Courts have no am
bition in this direction, perhaps our
only hope is in the ladies organizing
themselves into sVillage Improve
ment Association.

church of Morgantown. Notwith-
standing the constant rain, there was
large audience present of students,

expected on such bad night. The
people of the town and the university
take great interest in these convoca-
tion exercises.
The sermon was discussion Of the
universal law of helpfulness. The
preacher showed its application to all
things, animate aud inanimate, intel
ligent and otherwise, and even to God
himself. The discourse was filed
with apt Illustrations and forceful APP
plications. 1t was a sermon full Of
thought and force.
The music was under the direction
OF Professor Ellenberger Of the School
of Music and was exceptionally good.
Professor Ellenberger's playing of the
great pipe oagan was notably fine and
the cnoir's singing and Miss Moor
heads solo added greatly to the pleas
ure of the service.
DR.. Leech of the M. e. church read
the scripture lesson and offered pray
aer. All of the ministers Of the town
were present.

From the Bay st. Louis Echo
we learn an association of truck
farmers has been formed in that
section for the purpose of en-
couraging the raising of radlshes
and other vegetables for northern
markets. This is wise move
and should extend all along the
coast. The writrr knows some-
thing'of tho country and its con-
dition prior to the introduction of
truck farming there along the II
linois Central railroad from Ham
mond, La, to Canton, and the
wonderful rejuvenation that has
followed, The same result could
be obtained along the coast sec
tion, and with the stuff raised to
be carried into the markets there
would surely come the facilities
TO get it there. With the seasons
.of oysters and shrimp and of truck
farming there ,auld be easily had
twelve montlls OF .>a...;
.aployment for the working
pie instead of the many idle weeks
that come all along through the
year Bay st, Louis and Long

blem and this locality should fall

Rome, Jan. 10. The Pope has
recorded his impressions of the
nineteenth century in a poem of
fifty-six verses written in the AL
caie metre, the tone of which is
somewhat pessimistic and melan-
choly,
He declares that he is less
struck by the marvellous progress
of the human mind during tn c
Ieentury than hy the losses suffer-
ed in the moral and religious field.
He deplores the crimes committed
against the Church and the Papa
cy, but expresses the hope that in
the present century wars will be
less frequent and that all schisma-
tics will be reconciled to the Ro-
man church.
The Pope, after having caused
the poem to be published in the
Ohservatore Roman, sent copies
today to all the Cardinals and all
the members. of the diplomatic
body. n tn

Rev. Henry Frank, New York,
writing to the Independent, dwells
on the "Power of Wealth."
1t would be more dangerous to
have the lower and less educated
class secure the tremendous power
of wealth than the present privi-
legged few. BY the force of pub
lie sentiment the few can be con-
trolled and urged to use their ac-
quired wealth for the benefit Of
the needy. But If the uneducat-
cd andundisciplined masses should
today secure tine power of wealth
it goes without saying that they
would perveri itS uses through
selfish indulgence, an1 menace the
safety of society through thcil
natural hatred of their present
superiors and their desire for ven
geance.
