One of the most complete and de-
tailed reports ever submitted by a
state officer is now on file at the Of
fee of the governor and is the annu'
al statement of D. NJ. Elias, state coal
mine inspector for district No. /, in
Guiding the many mines along the I'm

In addition, the report gives in mi
mute detail, the machinery, cables,num,

ture, Town to the make and power Of
the motor that runs the pump that
keeps the water out of the mine.
Much to Commend.
Mr.. Elias is no pessimist, and in the
report finds much to commend in the
condition of the mine and the morals
of the miners, but occasionally in the
report is found a copy of a sharp let
ter to a mine boss calling attention to
some neglect to obey the law.
For one interested in coal mining,
a genera knowledge of the subject
could be gained from this report, for
while lengthy it is clear and very in
~teresting and is a v~indication of the
governors good judgment in appoint
ing the modest little Rock Springs
man to succeed Mr.. Bradbury in the
inspection of the great coal mines OF

New YORK, Jan. 15.-While it is now
said that the terrible tragedy at Boyer
town, Pa, in which nearly two hundred
lives were lost, was not directly caus-
ed by the moving picture machine, as
at first reported, the report has called
attention to the danger from those ma
chimes, many of which are in daily and
nightly operation in New York and
other cities.
Danger in Small Shows.
- Chief Croker says there is great dan
ger of fire from these machines. Very
often the fire department is called out
on account of a blaze originating thus.
The danger is greatest in small shows
operated in stores ~unprovided with suf.

discontinued.

mesky of this city, a merchant, filed a
petition in bankruptcy today, with as
sets of about $4,000 and liabilities of
