Mystery surrounds the strange dis
appearance, simultaneous with the
gasoline explosion, of the young man
responsible for the accident at the
Mint saloon in Riepetown Monday
night and although he was said to
have been seen after the fire by one
of the residents of the town, others
are of the opinion that he was burn
ed to death Immediately after the eN-
plosion.
The theory that the man met his
death in the fire is not advanced by
the majority of the Riepetown citi-
zens, as careful investigation of the
ruins did not serve to corroborate
such belief, there having been no
trace of a mans body among the
smoking timbers.
CAUSE OF ACCIDENT.
The man who carelessly struck a
match to examine tank partially
filled with the infiammable oil, was
a Greek, known as Jimmy" and had
been employed for a short time as
bartender at the Mint. There hav-
ing been no electric light service in
Riepetown, buildings for the most
part were illuminated by gasoline
lamps. Jimmy was attempting to
fill the large tank supplying the
lamps, when he struck a match os-
tensib1y for the purpose of gauging
the amount of oil therein, when the
gasoline ignited and the building was
soon in mass of flames.
TEARS HAIR.
Jimmy was seen. it is claimed,
during the progress of the conflagra-
tion and it is said that he acted like
hair and muttering incoherently to
himself, when suddenly he made for
the hills. At an early hour this
morning, Jimmy's whereabouts are
still mystery, and some are of the
belief that he is wandering aimlessly
in the mountains with his mind a
blank. Othere think that he became
frightened after the accident and
fearing violence. got out of the dis
trict when the opportunity afforded.
NO INSURANCE.
Not one dollars worth of insurance
will help in defraying the great loss
to the business men of RiepetOwn.
Owing to the fact that there was no
fire protection, insurance compa-
nies refused to transact any busi-
ness with the property holders there
and there is no recourse for those
suffering loss.
BUILDINGS LEFT STANDING.

ing of John Blankenhorn, the dance
hall and saloon operated by Frank

property of Martin & Dolovich and

Coal At Panama

The government needs $4,000 tons
of coal for use on the canal zone dur
ing the year beginning April 1, and IL
bids we're recently submitted for fur
nishing this coal. Nearly all the bid
ders were West Virginia operators and
their bids were, as a rule, made on a
basis of $3.50 f. o. b. Newport News.
But there were some West Virginia
bids as low as $2.1S f. o. b. Baltimore.
The only bidder from this district
was E. w. Williams, who offered to
supply Alabama coal at $3.50 f. o. b..
Pensacola 1t is very plain that the
Williams bid is not low enough to Sc
cure the award, which is to be made
known this week. Alabama coal is
mined nearer the coast than any other
coal, and that coast, too, is the gulf
coast, which is the nearest part of the
mainland to the canal zone. But in
stead of getting coal from Pensacola
or Mobile the government will doubt
less take it from Baltimore or Newport
News, possibly from Philadelphia. Our
operators have no one but themselves
to blame.
But the situation will be altered
when we have an Open Warrior, for
then coal worth f. o. b. mines $1.15 will
be laid down in Mobile at $1.55, and a
bid on the basis of $1.75 f. o. b. Mobile
would put all competitors on the shelf.

VALUE OF LIFE AND LIMB.

From the New York World.
Justice Morschauser the other day re-
fused to accept the valuation of $1,000
which a jury placed upon boys leg,
7Whereupon $4,000 was fixed, which proved
satisfactory. The appellate division
short time before in the case of Miss
Makes, who sued the New York Central
for a similar accident, reduced a verdict
of $4,000 to $4,000. In New Jersey the
life of a baby was declared to be worth
not more than dollar.
Two hundred dollars for the death of a
boy ten years old has been upheld on APP
peal. Likewise $500, s11s6, $1,000, $500 and
$500 Other ages disclose greater dis
crepancy. In the Lac case verdict of
$4,000 was held justified where a boy
of three years lost the use of an arm and
leg and his mind was impaired, while in
Ehrman vs. Brooklyn City Railroad COM
lany the general term of the supreme
court whose action WIS affirmed said that
$4,000 was not insufficient for the loss
of a leg alone. although the ages were
the same in both cases. verdicts of $4,000
for one leg are frequent where children
are concerned, but the court did not hes
ltate to set aside as excessive ilIuiilS
for $1,000 in the case of a woman.
Verdicts for personal injury or death
must necessarily be largely guesswork.
Where permanent Disagreement results
higher amount is considered justified
where the plaintiff is a woman, since her
marriageability is impaired. The age,
sex, occupation, and earning capacity
must be taken into consideration. and the
general rule is that verdict will not be
set aside which does not indicate pas
sion or prejudice on the part of the jury.
In the Read case, where man of thirty
seven years, earning $1,000 a year, was
killed by a New York Central train, JUS
tice OGorman refused to interfere with
a judgment for 100000. In one of the
tunnel accid ents the deceased was thir-
ty-five and earned $4,000 a year. Sixty
thousand dollars was not considered too
much.
The law does not take into consdera-
ton such items as the parents pain and
suffering. 1t seeks cold boodedly to esti-
mate the pecuniary loss which has been
sustained by the relatives for whose BEN
eft the action is brought The apparent
discrepancy between verdicts for injuries
am for death may be partly explained
on this ground, for in the former instance
the suffering of the injured party is in
cluded in the recovery,
