in the state, with reference to the gov.
ernorship. He has not said whether
he will be a candidate, but some inter.
views in the News. Democrat day or
two since are said to have come close to

printing the following in its political
column:
The trip of Hon. John c. Welty to Gin.
cinnati: his 3-hour interview with
Lewie Bernard at the st. Nicholas no
tel; Welty's talk that he would know in
a week what he would do in regard to

statement that the delegates so far Sc
lected to the state convention were
neither numerous nor important. means
that there will be something doing
Shortly along the gubernatorial line,
and that Colonel Kilbourne is not to

The position of Welty in the matter

9S2 long tons, against 63,914,647 long
tons in 1899. This decrease was more
than made up for by an increase of
nearly $780, 900 short tons (about A.
900, 900 long tons) in the output Of BIZ
luminous coal. The production last
year amounted to 57,107, $50 Of anthra-
cite, valued at $S2,S93,471. The de-
crease in Maryland amounted to 1872, ,703
short tons. or over Is per cent. Ore
CONS decrease, while small in amount,
was equivalent to 33 1-3 per cent. of the
product of 1899.
The largest increase was made In
West Virginia, the total exceeding 20,-
000,0 900 tons for the first time. The
next largest gain was from Ohio, where
2,605,13S short tons were added. The
net gain In Pennsylvania amounted 70
2,150, 900 short tons. Alabama is cred
tied with a gain of 100000 tons, or
about II per cent.
Prior to 1899 Great Britain was the
leading coal producing country. The
production Of Great Britain in 1900
amounted to 225, ,170,163 long tons, OF
252,190,572 short tons, compared with
which the United States has lead of

A RECORD BREAKER.
Coal Output for the Year 1900
--Ohio's Fine Show

Washington, June 13.--The year 1900
was another record breaker for coal
production, closing the century with
the largest production recorded and
continuing the supremacy OF the Unit
ed States. Practically complete returns
to Edward w. Parker. statistician Of
the United States geological survey,
show The total output of coal In 1900
to have been 267, $40, 900 short tons, an
increase over 1899 Of Il, 3,S00, 900 tons, or
little over per cent.
The value of this product was $297,-
$4,000, an increase over 1899 Of $4l,-
1000, or about 16 per cent. Coal pro-
ducers felt the benefit of the improved
conditions In 1900 to a much greater
extent than in either 1898 or 1899. Much
coal was delivered in 1899 at less than
II cost to produce II, the cost Of labor
having advanced before the operators
could advance the price. The value OF
the coal product In 1900. free on board
cars at the mines, was equal TO nearly
one-hah of the total mineral product
Of the United States In 1899.
There were only three states whose
coal product in 1900 was less than IN
1899, Maryland, Oregon and Idaho. the

KERNEL OF CORN
Cost Unknown Party $4,000
Pigeon Stopped to Eat Be-
fore Entering Home Loft.

Akron, June IA kernel OF corn,
costing $1,000, has been discovered at
Kenmore. Had it not been for this
particular kernel, some one besides Mr..
t. H. Smith, county treasurer at Can
ton, would have been the owner of a
pretty home in the new town south of
Akron.
After the pigeons. which were to fly
for the prize had been liberated one
black bird was noticed to be in the
lead. It headed direct for the dove cot
and was coming like the wind. Not far
behind was Mr.. Smiths bird, bent on
landing the prize for him.
The black flyer was the first to reach
the little door leading into the loft. AS
1t was about to crawl through the OPEN
ing 1t noticed a kernel Of corn. In its
greed 1t forgot all about the prize.
Half way through the opening the bird
stopped and bent its head to get the
morsel Of food. At that moment Mr..
Smiths pigeon dashed by the waiting
bird and into the loft. Mr.. Sam Hibbs,
who was inside to close the trap door
dropped it the instant the first bird
passed through the opening. In clos
ing the door he caught the pigeon
which had stopped to get the corn. 1t
was killed. Had the bird been less
anxious to feed its owner would have
been the possessor of one of the prizes.

well known contractor, has purchased
seven Of these lots and win erect sew
eral dwelling hOnses on the same at

Mr. Barry afford a splendid opportunity
for investment and speculation. When
the proposed Union depot is built on
South Market these lots will double in
value, being on the street that will be

DEFIANCE
OF DANGER
Danger" Sign at Port

EIGHTEEN ARE DEAD
Fire Boss Gleason Charged As
sistant Foreman HadIey, at
Coroner's Inquest--Tes-
tjmony Corvoboratod.

Port Royal, Pa, June 13.-Dehance
Of danger and willful disregard Of the
ordinary and legal safeguards provid-
ed caused the Port Royal mine horror,
according to the evidence given be-
fore Coroner A. C. Wynne. Samuel
Hadley, the assistant foreman Of No.
2 mine, was blamed, and II 1t was his
fault he paid the penalty with his own
life.
Eighteen Known Dead.
It was Westmoreland county's most
serious mine disaster and resulted In
the death of 18 men, Harry Bever-
idge, Of Smithton, who died at the Nc
Keesport hospital, being the eigh-
teenth victim. Hadley is one Of the
| IL still entombed, and his body is per-
haps now burned to crisp.
Thomas Gleason, fire boss Of No.
| 2, under oath, before Coroner Wynne
and the jury sworn to inquire into the
cause of the catastrophe, testified that
| he had entered mine No. 2 at 2 O'Clock
Monday morning At entry No. "a he
detected a strong odor OF gas and
placed the sign Danger" at the en-
trance to entry No. "a and No. rs.
In making his report to the assistant
| foreman of the mine at 5 o'clock Mon
day morning Gleason swears he in
cluded the places designated by the
sign as being dangerous. Assistant
Mine Foreman Samuel Hadley entered
the mine about o'clock, proceeded
to the entry marked dangerous by
the fire boss, made hasty examina-
ton, came out, tore down the danger
! signs, turned to Harry Hough, miner
Of Port Royal, and said: Boys,
everything Is all right" He said he
could corroborate his statement by
Harry Hough and William Carrier,
Of the hill, who were present at the
time.
DO you think it was dangerous for
the men to work in the vicinity of the
place you describe with open lights"
asked Alexander Watkins, Of the
jury.
"Yes, do," replied Gleason. 81
would not venture there with an open
light myself, and do not think the
men should have been allowed to
work there with open lights"
Were the men using open lamps?'
asked Coroner Wynne. E
Il do notknow.' said Gleason, but
! understood they were"
corroborates Gleason's Story.
At the conclusion Of Gleason's testi-
mony a messenger was dispatched for
Harry Hough and William Carrier
Neither could be found and the in
quest was adjourned until this morn
ing about o'clock. When seen by
the writer after the inquest, Harry
Hough, when asked IL he had seen
Assistant Foreman Hadley remove the
signs, said: Il was on my way to
work and saw the danger sign. l sat
down and waited until Hadley came
out, which he shortly afterwards did,
taking down the signs and telling us
II was all right, as everything was
safe"
