In the shaft-Explosi0n Caused by
Leaking Gas Pipe-Third Explosion
at Stafford.
FAIRMoNT, w. VA, September 3D.
Four men are dead, three of the un.
identified, and their faces and bod
les so badly burned and blackened
that it is impossible to recognize
them, and five others are lying in
different wards at the miners hospit-
al here from cuts, bruises and other
INJURIES as the result of a gas ex
plosion at a coal shaft located at
Stafford, this county, about 8 o'clock
this morning.
The dead are;

In addition to these, seven more
men are missing and there seems to
be not the shadow of doubt by
the head employees of the company
but that The men are dead and be-
hind the walls of the mine. The
shaft is $50 feet deep and 10 men
went down to work.
The disaster was caused by the
gas from leaking pipe that extends
several feet back in the shaft being
ignited from lamp carried by one
of the miners now lying dead. In
few seconds after the warning that
the man had reached the foot of the
shaft was heard by an alarm proyid-
ed for the purpose, the shock came.
The floor of the building bulged
rapidly upward and then along with
the tipple equipments crashed down.
all into a shapless mass of debris
Those who were only partly bruised
dug themselves out and then started
to digging for their comrades who
were farther in the rear of the de.
bris.
This is the third explosion that
has occurred at the shaft since II
was opened for operation six months
ago.

Victim of Pneumonia--Editor of Unit
ed Presbyterian-Pasto Over 20
Years Of a Pittsburo Church.

Pittsburg, Sept. 23.-The Rev. DR..
W. ]. Reid, the nestor OF United Pres
byterianism in Western Pennsylvania,
and the venerated pastor Of the First
United Presbyterian church, died at
1850 yesterday, after a brief illness.
In no wise prepared for his death by
his sudden illness of Saturday, his
demise is distinct shock to the en-
tire city. He died of pneumonia.
His congregation was so worried
over his illness that the usual Sun
day evening service was not held Sun
day night.
For a number of years past DR..
Reid has not been in robust health.
A year or more ago his son, w. J.
Reid, Jr., was made assistant pastor
of the church, with the express idea
of relieving his father OF some of the
more onerous of his pastoral duties.
Last spring DR.. Reid was in very
feeble health, and his family were
very anxious over his condition. How
ever, he recovered, and for few
months past has been strong.

Bees Not Using Their Stings,
From The London Spectator.


There are number of honeymaking bees
which apparently do not use their stings.
or IN which the stings are atrophted and too
blunt to hurt. Some are very small, so
dlminutive that they are called mosquito
bees. They gather quantities of honey, of
which Bates. in one of the forests on the
Amazon. took two quarts from one Of the
nests. In Jamaica, where some of these
anlable bees are also found they are
called 'angelitos,' a name given them by
the original Spanish settlers in honor OF
their good temper. Some Australian dwarf
bees-also "angelitos' so far as human be-
tngs are concerned-do not use their stings
perhaps because they are not sharp enough
TO hurt, but deal with their enemies some
thing after the manner of the Quaker on
board ship who refused to use a gun. but

COURT HEARS ARGUMENT.
Suit of Henry ID. Phillips Against PEN
sion Com ns IL sfoner.

Justice Clabaugh was occupied the
greater part OF today hearing arguments
in connection with the demurrer to the
declaration in the action at law instituted
by Henry D. Phillips against II. Clay Ev-
ans to recover damages In the sum of $780,
coo
Mr.. Phillips charges that MIR. Evans, as
Commissioner of PENSIONS Tualiciously
recommended his disbarment as an attor-
ney practiclng before the pension bureau.
In addition to recommending his disbar-
ment, so Mr.. Phillips alleges, the defendant
sent out notices to Mr.. Phillips clients
notifying them OF the disbarment even af-
ter he had been reinstated.
In the demurrer to the declaration H. is
maintained that an executive officer acting
in the lire Of the jurisdiction conferred on
him by Congress and the regulations OF the
department cannot be held accountable in
damages. even though he acted maiiCiousiy.
Justice CIabaUgh took the matter under
consideration He will announce his ruling
later.
Attorney George E. Hamilton of this city
and Attorney r. s. Walker of Trenton, N.
J.. appear for Mr.. Phillips. the commits
sioner of pensions being represented by Mr..
Ashley NJ. Gould. United States attorney
for the District Of Columbia
The demurrer was based on the case of
Spalding against Villas. Spalding, a claim
agent, secured the passage of law re-
adjusting the salaries of certain postmas-
ters.
He made contracts with these postmas-
ters to conduct the cases for them Villas,
who was Postmaster General. issued let
ter to the pOstmasters advising them that
1t was unnecessary for them to employ an
attorney in the matter. Spalding sued Vi
las to recover damages. alleging that the
action in issuing the circulars was taken
maliciously for the purpose of injuring
Spalding.
In the Supreme Court OF the United States
the entire question of the liability of an ex-
ecutive officer was discussed. The Supreme
Court held. II IS stated. that although an
executive officer acted maliciously and to
the injury OF an individual. yet if the officer
acted within the scope of his jurisdiction
he could not be held accountable IN a suit
for damages.
United States Attorney Gould argued
that the Phillips case does not differ With
that of Spalding against Villas. Mr.. Evans,
in the line of his duty and even though
he might have acted maliciously. he could
not be held responsible. Mr.. Gould denied
that there is any distinction in responsible
ity between cabiLet officer and the mead
of bureau.
The head of bureau, so il was said,
derives his power from the same source as
does the cabinet officer; that the head of
bureau is the arm of the cabinet officer,
and to hold that the same rule of public
policy that gives the cabinet officer i'm
munity does not apply to the head of the
bureau would be to paralyze the arm of
the body.

There is no secret about the success Of

Habits of Spiders.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
The water spider carries air down with
1t when 1t dives. DR.. McCook saw. one
remain forty-five minutes under the water
One water spider builds nest under the
water attached to the stem of some plant.
and in the shape of diving bell, with the
opening downward. 1t fills this bell with
air by taking down a bubble at time.
Coming to the surface it incloses an air
bubble under its body and instantly de-
scends. Getting under the nest the bubble
Is allowed to escape into it, and this pro-
cess continues until the nest Is full of air.
The spider then lays it's eggs there. inclosed
In cocoon, and leaves them for the young
to grow in this under water palace safe
from all flying foes. When these water
spiders are seen under water they look like
little balls OF shining silver. Little bubbles
OF air. seem to cling among the hairs of
their bodies. AS spiders, like insects,
breathe the air at little holes along the
whole length of the body. they can easily
make use of these bubbles of air for breath
ing.
