and knew nothing. of any such bill
until he read 1t in the newspapers
He declared in emphatic terms that
he had never threatened that Odell
would have retaliatory legislation
passed if the shipbuilding bond suits
were not settled. He declared as an
absolute fact that Odell had never
asked him to have the Mercantile
Trust Co, settle and claimed that all
requests for settlement originated
with Mr.. Hyde. Mr.. Hartman also
declared that the question of an am
bassadorial appointment for Hyde was
broached to him by Hyde himself and
stated that there was no connection
between it and the settlement of the
Odell suit
Taking up the Frick report which
Hyde on, the stand yesterday charac-
terized as unfair and unjust, Harri-
man was asked If he had SPOKEN to
Hyde about moving its adoption. He
said:
81 had been defending Mr.. Hyde dur
ing the attacks that were being made
on him and the attempts to oust him
from the Equitable by the other an
tagonistic members. and / told Mr..
Gulliver several days before the Fricl1
| report was presented that wished
he would tell Mr. Hyde for me, that
| II were in his place as a friend of
his that would favor the adoption
of that report and even to the extent
| Of moving Its adoption; that If he
Ibid that, would stand by him
through thick and thin, and that I
believed every other independent, con-
seryative man on the board would
also do SO; that he should state that
| the methods that he had pursued had
been used and we're in existence when
he went into the society and that he
was young and inexperienced and that
he had pursued them-namely, that
he was sorry and that If he we're given
an opportunity in the future to re-
trieve himself that he hoped to be
able to do so and that he believed
that there would be feeling toward
him because of his youth and mex
perience and that he should have some
chance to retrieve his position"

An Explosion of Natural
Gas Blew the Victims
to Atoms Near Monon-
gahela Pa, Wednes-
day Afternoon.
Three New Shafts We're
Being Sunk When a
Vein of Natural Gas
Was lgnited From
Lamps.

Pittsburg, Pa, Nov. 15.--An explos-
ion of natural gas at Shaft No. of
the Braznell Coal Company, just north
of Monongahela, Pa, yesterday after
noon blew eight men to atoms ana
fatally injured three others.
Three new shafts are being sunk
on the property, all adjoining and
mine drillers were engaged in sinking
them. They had just touched coal
vein, having reached depth of 1876
feet below the surface.
A vein of natural gas was struck
two weeks ago and Il came in such
force that the men had to abandon
the work, only continuing several
days ago. Seven men entered the shaft
yesterday morning, all carrying
sheathed lamps. They noticed the
fumes of escaping gas, but considered
there was no danger.
Yesterday afternoon, about $3.50
O'Clock Newman descended the shaft
about 25 feet carrying a naked lighted
torch. He did not think there was
any danger of igniting the gas at that
depth, but he hardly had been down
a second when there was a terrific
explosion. McCartey was standing at
the mouth of the shaft and was caught
in the mass of flying debris and his
body hoisted distance of 200 feet.
The machinery, and in fact everything
in the mine was hurled through the
mouth of the shaft and scattered all
over the immediate ground
