INSPECTOR TALKS.
Number of Deaths and Causes for Them
As Shown in Reports About Coal
Mines.

The inspection of mines has bee
in force in this state about twenty one
years" said Chief Inspector Paul
recently" and 1l4I men have been
killed in and around mines during
that time. Sixty per cent of these
have been killed BY falling roofs,
twenty per cent by mine cars, and
twelve per cent by the explosion of
powder and gas, and seventv-fv
per cent OF the deaths were ct in
the miners rooms. The statistics
show that there is tendency to in
crease in the number of mine casu-
alties all over North America. A
majority of those killed we're Ameri-
cans.
There has been very little if any
falling off in the aggregate produc-
ton of coal in this state during the
past year, in spite oil the fact that
the strike so seriously crippled a
large part of the West Virginia coal
territory. The increase in the out
put of the fairmont and Norfolk aud
Western fields, where the strike
lasted so short time as to amount
practically to nothing, almost en-
tirely compensated for the falling
off in the Kanawha and New River
field. In fact but Tor shortage of
cars on the Norfolk and Western
and the Baltimore and Ohio roads,
the total output would have been as
large this year as any year in the
history in the state The great de-
velopments being made in all sec
tions of the state give assurance Of a
tremendous increase in the output
during the next two or three years. y

Saturday Offers Of Compromise are
Refused Creditors AlIege that there
Has Been Great Fraud and They Are
Investigating.


A meeting OF the creditors of Line,
X plan and Company was held in
Whe ling Saturday. All of the cred
itors were present. The hearing
was before Commissioner Frank Cox
of Wheeling Members of the firm
were present and were subjected "a
a searching cross examination.
Z /. @ Lazzelle, E. Il. Stewart and
b. L. Butcher or Fairmont were ap.
ponies trustees OF the creditors.
One of the attorneys for creditors
stated this morning that the credit
ors were determined to push the
case and to unearth tue fraud which
they confidently believe has been
practlced on them.
They have been offered a settle
ment at thirty three cents on the
dollar but they have refused all
offers for settlement. They believe
that there is a big fraud somewhere
and they are going to use every en-
deavor to find where 1T is.
The firm failed for about $50,
600.
In the case OF j. II. Schlessinger
who recently failed an offer to com
prnmise for thirty five cents, then
for forty then for forty net has been
made The firm agrees to give all
creditors forty per cent and paythe
costs of the proceedings so far.
This has been refused as the cred
itors believe that in this case also
there has been fraud.
Many interesting developments
are expected as a result of the in.
vestigations which are being placed
on foot.

A special from Connellsville saws:
The friends o. the late FLOYD N
Frum, who died from hemoraeic
smallpox in quarantine here two
weeks ago, will be compelled By the
Board Of Health to allow his re-
mains to rest in Hill Grove Genet
cry, where they we're buried under
suca sad circumstances. A beauti-
full monument, erected by the rela
tives and friends of the dead, will
mark the grave.
IL has been the hope of Mr. Frum's
family. ever since they heard of his
untimely death. to TAX the remains
South for Ie-interment The laws
of the state would allow this at
the expiration OF one year, if the
body was removed under the most
strict sanitary conditions Tie 10
cal health laws, however, positively
forbid the exhuming of corpse in
fected with smallpox.
Section 8 of the Health Ordinance
of November %, 1898, says: Every
person who acts as a sexton, under
taker or cemetery keeper within the
limits of the borough, or has charge
or care of any tomb, vault. burying
ground or other place for the recep
tion of the dead, or where the bodies
OF any human beings are deposited,
shall so conduct his business and
shall so care for any such place
above named, as to avoid detriment
or danger to public health; and
every person undertaking prepare
tions for the burial of body dead
from communicable diseases, as
hereinbefore enumerated, shall adopt
such precautions as the Board of
Health may prescribe to prevent the
spread OF such disease. No dead
bodies shall be exhumed and remov-
ed between the months of May and
October, inclusive, and no bodies
dead from smallpox shall ever be
exhumed and removed"
The passage of special ordinance
would be necessary in order to re-
move Floyd Frum's body. His
friends have about given mp hopes
of having him buried at his home
Instead, movement is on foot
among the relatives Of the dead man
and his friends and workers IN

erection of beautiful monument on

the grave is located. Superintend
ent OF construction +. p. ii. Harri-
son of the Baltimore d Ohio railroad
is at the head of the movement and
the memorial will probably be a
handsome one.
While nothing official has been
announced. it is generally under
stood that II. G. W. Quimby will
succeed Mr.. Frum in the position
OF Resident Engineer in the con
struction work here. Mr.. Quimby
was employed for some time on the
double tracking operations in the vi
cinity OF Confluence. Recently he
has been located at Indian Greek.
His speciality is masonry construc
ton, and he has been experimenting
the heavy stone work necessary
there. He is in ConnellsviIle today
and will probably take charge of the
work here soon.

Crowded Contracts to be LET soon.
The Baltimore s. Ohio Railroad
Company is about to undertake the
building of new railroad some 200
miles long that will shorten the dis
lance between Baltimore and Pitts
burg by at least so miles. 1t will
utilize the old South Penn route,
which was an object of great popular
interest when originally planned as
link iu line which would bring the
Y anderbilt roads TO Baltimore.
Both the Pennsylvania and Balti-
more Il Ohio arrangements have
reached the conclusion that a great
Increase In the facilities Tor handling
traffic between Pittsburg and the sea-
board is vital TO the continued pros
perity OF the Pittsburg region.
The first thing done was the author
ization OF an appropriation by the B.
x o. company OF $1,000. 900 for the
uufluiuS Vi u INK III tue larger Cudin
that will become immediately valu-
able. This is a line about % miles
long from Bedford, Pa, to Coleman,
on the Johnstown branch Of the Bal
timore Il Ohio. IL will enter a coal
field that is estimated to have over
1000, 900, 900 tens OF soft coal. This
may be termed the middle section of
the project OF which it is the fore-rnn-
ner.
From Bedford the traffic on this
middle section will temporarily reach
the Baltimore s. Ohio at Hyndman
via the Pennsylvania railroad until
the whole line is flushed.
Following the construction of the
middle section there will be built an
extension across the country to Gratz-
town, on the Pttsburg & Connells-
vile roilroad. The southern end will
come at the same time, If not in adj
vance Of this line, and will extend
