rison on the Monongah

Mine Inspector George Harrison, OF
Ohio. in his report to Chief j. w.
PAUL, of West Virginia. on the Mo
nongah mine explosion, to which die
aster he and three deputy inspectors
were ordered by tiovernor a L.
Harris, censurcs the Farmont Coal
Company for the system on which
the two ill-fated mines were worked.
He says that the connection of the
two mines was conclusive proof that
the death roll was doubled in this
explosion.
Chief Harrlson's report. which will
be rrcsented to the legislature of
West Virginia, states that "thcre is
no mystery concerning these mine
explosions, which could not occur ex-
cept where there is an accumulation
of these destructive elements and a
favorable opportunity for setting
them in notion" tho chief referring
to the presence of gas and dust in
the mines, which is prohibited by
the mining laws of this State.
Throughout the report of the Ohio
inspector he speaks of tho dust
laden entries" and says that the old
abandoned headings in the Monongah
mines acted as storage chambers for
mine dust, which he recognized as
one of the sources OF danger in these
mines.

Cut Pane Out Of Window in
Rear End Of Store and
Enter That Way.
COSTLY REGISTER BROKEN
n Traders Alley Whittier They
Garry IT and DepIete II
Of Its Contents.

The City Market in the Holmes
building on West Main street, owned
b. Messrs. Carl Shin nd George NJ.
Morrison. was barglarized Tuesday
night, With the building located in
the central part of the city and the
point OF entrance being n plain
view, the burglary is regarded a very
bold one.
The burglars appear 10 have first
made an attempt to gain access by
forcing the transom of the rear doors
as barrels and boxes were piled up
there by them, but not succeeding
in that, they proceeded to cut out a
large pane of glass in the northwest
ern window, crawled in through the
aperture made, them proceeded
through small room into the main
store room.
The management left two gas
lights burning in the front part of
the store. These were turned out
BY the burglars after they had To-
Gated the cash register, and, then by
means OF matches, they proceeded to
do their work.
The large national cash register
that sat on front counter was car
ried to the rear of the store, where
its top was broken of and left be-
hind. The key that regulates the
registry part was also left with this
piece as was also the tape of the reg
lister. The main part of the regis
Ter itself was carried OF.
The store was closed at s o'clock
at night and the burglary was not
discovered until the store was open
ed up next morning for the business
Of the day.
The main part of the cash regis
ter was found by Lorenzo Robinson,
colored, near the NJ. D. Stuart liv-
cry stable in Traders alley at an
early hour, and, when the burglary
became known, the find was report
ed to the victims of the robbers.
The register had been smashed into
pieces 1t contained $21 in money
and this was taken by the burglars.
The money taken consisted of two
five dollar bills. one onc-dollar bill,
thirty pennies and the remainder in
silver. The register was. not only
smashed but the woodwork had been
badly burned in the effort to get it
open and apart.
]. w. Shrader's bloodhounds
were brought to the store to run the
burglars down. but they failed to
get a scent and we're taken to the
remnants of the register in the alley
near Stuart's stable.
The hounds took up a trail at the
point, where the register was found,
went through the alley to Main
street, across Main into and through
N. A. Nusbaum's yard, then back to
Main out to ]. j. Duncan's yard and
. through 1t to an alley in the rear,
thence In this alley to South Chest
nut street, thence to the Odd Fellows
cemetery, where they turned and re-
traced their course in South Chest
nut to Traders alley, thence in the
alley to the point, from which they
started, where they abandoned the
tran.
A hammer found by the wrecked
cash register may prove clue to the
identity of the burglars.

At Point of Pistol, Cashier Is

While one masked robbcr held

looted the vaults of the bank at
Granite Falls. NJ c., early last night. Sc
ition-$2.7O0, forced the cashier to
enter the vault, and after locking

robbery-the boldest in the criminal
annals of the State-was not discovered
until o'clock this morning.
When Cashier w. G. Whisnant did
not appear for breakfast. his family,
thoroughly alarmed. instituted search.
On entering the bank feeble tapping
was heard In the vault, and when 1t
was opened the missing cashier stag
gered out. more dead than alive, from
his fifteen hours of close confinement.
According to the cashiers story. three
strange men, wearing half masks, en-
tered the bank at 6 O'Clock Saturday
evening, and while one of them held
him up at the point of pistol, the
other two. oblivious of the fact that
pedestrians were passing the door
proceeded to help themselves to the
banks cash. The work was done quiet
