brought action of trespass on the case
against the Philadelphia Company Of

ident, and w. B.. Carson, secretary, for
S50O,o00 damages. Lowe owns farm

which is located producing gas we'll
drilled by the Philadelphia Company.
This company claims to have secured
a lease on the territory from F. NJ.
Robinson and S. R. Robinson. who
have contended that they are the right
full owners Of the property. Since the
well was drilled in 1887, Lowe has nor
received one penny from the COM
pany, but has spent considerable mon
ey fighting through the courts in an
effort to prove his title to the land.
The case has gone through the Wet.

through the state supreme court. In
the latter court the decision was In
loves favor and he has now brought
action for the above amount as re-
suit of this decision.
The declaration will be filed In the

allel headings gives a greater area
and velocity is greatly reduced. The
witness went into detailed descrip.
tion of the processes of ventilation.
The pressure gauge registers the reg
ularity of the current and it is easily
to determine the amount of air going
into the mine. The pressure gauge
is first visited and the pressure of
water is noted the anomometer is then
used to see the velocity of the air and
under the same condition for given
time there is no change in the amount
of air going into the mine. The record
pressure gauge on the morning of the
explosion was working all right until
about 1O:3O, when the register shows
something violent had taken place.
This is when the explosion occurred.
The return air courses would not have
been SO dry as the intake air courses
previous to the explosion. He exam

The inspector was here about two

are posted up at the mouth of the
mines. The report of No. was hand
ed the witness, which he identified as
the report that was posted at the
mouth Of No. 6, which he read to the
jury. The witness said that he did
not know any way that the safety con-
ditions of these mines could be i'm
proved. The record pressure indicates
rises when there is an obstruction in
the air courses. There were a num-
Der Of cars standing at the bottom of

trip numbered about "a. The witness
knew nothing of the company's re-
questing Mr.. McGraw to resign at the
first of the year. The witness said
that McGraw was filling the position
to the satisfaction of the company and
himself and that If anything like .that
had occurred he would have known 1t.
The witness discredited the story. Nc
Graw and Donlin were at the meeting
at the supenitendent's meeting. They
were questioned as to the safety con.
ditions of these mines and these men
reported that the conditions of the
mines were good and that McGraw
made no intimation that he was dissat-
isfied with the conditions of the mine.
George Gibbons was recalled to
identify several men. The examination

to be in the mines the day Of the ex-

at the time It was opened. His ex-
animation embraced everything that
pertains to the safety of the mining
conditions. The air was measured
and its proper distribution was deter
mined. Pat Donlin was pit boss at
No. and was very efficient man
and was capable to handle mine In
Iall its workings. John T. McGraw
was pit boss at No. s. He con.sid-
cred McGraw second to none of the
pit bosses employed by the Fairmont
Coal Company. The fire bosses. he
thought, were fully capable to perform
their duties. He considered them efi-
cient men. The debris along the
tracks now he thought was combin-
alton of coal dust, fine particles of
coal. coke cinder, slate and horse
back. The amount there now is very
much more than previous to the ex-
plosion. Places that we're wet before
the mines blew up are dry now on ac-
count OF the great accumulation of
dust. The first south heading of No.
s, which was muddy is nov, dry. The
mines OF Nos. 6 and so far as dust
was concerned were as safe as any
mines of the company General safe.
ty conditions Of these mines were the
best. All safety conditions that he
recommended for the safety of these
mines were carried out and that the
safety of the mines was the first
thought of the company and that no
material was withheld from him when
he recommended work to be done.
The mines were sprinkled when neces-
sary. The mine foreman had charge
of the sprinkling, where and how 1t
was to be done. The sprinkling Of the
headings was the rule in this region.
He was with the State inspectors sew
eral times when they visited the
mines and their attention was called
to the sprinkling cars and the method
of sprinkling. The officers made no
complaint. The cutting OF a room
makes about three fourths of car Of
fine coal laden also with dust. The
car stands outside of the room until
ME coal is shot and then the car is
loaded full Of coal. A miner who vio-
lates the rule OF the company is PEN
allied, for the first offense he is laid
of two days, and IL he persists he is
discharged and is unable to obtain
work from the company. The witness
then explained to the jury the air cir
culation of the mines and to give It
in comprehensive manner the maps
exhibited Wednesday were used. The
means for obtaining the amount Of air
is by the use of the anomemeter which
i is wind wheel with a register which
determines the velocity of the air per
minute. The area of the opening
times the velocity per minute deter
mines the amount Of air per minute
Mine No. s has seven parellel main

FIRE DEP ARTMENT
CALLED OUT BY
A SMALL BLAZE

A small blaze in the Metropolitan
tailor shop, on upper Main street,
called out the fire department yes
terday morning. The fire was caused
by the cleaning of clothes with gas
oline solution which was ignited in
some way, but fortunately no great
damage was done. When the depart
ment arrived the fire had been ex-
tinguished. The proprietor Of the
shop has been repeatedly warned by
Chief Swasey not to use gasoline in
any manner in cleaning clothes, but
it seems that he has paid no atten-
ton to the warming That the fire
was not more serious is no fault of
his, and but for the prompt arrival
of passersby who quickly applied to
water to the flames, serious con-
fagration might have ensued.

the fallen body.
The Mining and Scientific Press
published detailed account of the
affair which was written by Mr.. Cor
kill. The meteor was also observed
in California, when it passed over the
Sacramento valley.
At that time a hoax was pepper
trated on the San Francisco Exami-
ner when some person sent that pa
per an account of the falling of the
body and stated that it had been To-
Gated and was guarded by armed men
who We're waiting for it to cool be-
fore examining it.
A number of people examined the
huge mass of metal yesterday and
all stated that it was one of the best
ever exhibited and there is no doubt
that it will be the basis of much re-
search among scientists.
