Cause Not Yet Determined

Up to o'clock Sunday night no official or semi-official opinion has been given out as to the cause of the disaster. Pres ident T. I. Stephenson of the Knoxville Iron company, and others interested had nothing to say in answer to this inquiry. It is generally believed, however, that the disaster was due to dust explo- sion" caused by the presence of an excess, of fine coal and mine dust upon the floor of the mine. When the combination of gas and dust are ignited an explosion and concussion follows, with terrific force and terrible effect. An undertaken who examined the corpses found in the mine stated that in every instance the heads of the eight men whose bodies have been brought out, were bruised as if they had been thrown violently against the ceiling of the mine of the timbers on the side walls. This, it is claimed, argues In favor of the dust explosion" theory. The mine had passed official inspections within the past few weeks and was thought to be perfectly safe. Investigations are now being made with a view to definitely de- termining the cause of the accident if this be possible.
 Mine officials also continue to decline to give out any positive information ss to the number of men who went to work in the mine Saturday mornin g and outside estimates vary between 100 and 200.

BETTING TO 8
ON THE SAINTS
Cross Bats With kaurer
A. c. Sunday Afternoon.

The American Smelling & Re-
filming Company's grounds on Sunday
afternoon will be the scene of n of
the best baseball games this season.
The fast Maurer A. c. will cross bats
with the st. Anthony bunch. These
two teams have been doing a lot of
wrangling about what they would
do to each other if opportunity ever
brought them together.
Betting already seems to indicate
that the Saints have a stronger nine
as their friends are backing them
with odds of 5 to 8. On the other
hand all of the money offered by the
Saints Is being gobbled up by the
Maurer players and their large fol-
lowing.
The Saints will be at somewhat, of
a disadvantage inasmuch as Peter
Scibenski, who twirled them to many
a victory, will be on the slab for the
Maurers Sunday. pete" knows all
of the weak points of the Saints and
1t Is expected that he will surprise a
few of their batters.
But the Saints have secured the
services of Clemensen and Jeroski
as twirlers, who are making good
and who expect to show the Maurer
A. c. a thing or two. Hibbitt and
Yenk will receive for them.

COPS ANXIOUS
TO PLAY GAME
Talk About Arranging One
With County Seat.

Talk is rife among local policemen
over a game of baseball with the New
Brunswick officers. The local cops
would like to see a game or a series
arranged that they might be given
an opportunity to show the superior
ity they claim. The visit to police
headquarters of an automobile load
of county seat sleuths a few nights
ago has caused discussions on the
subject. The local cops think it
queer that the New Brunswick mem
bers had SO little to say when the
subject was preached. The natural
conclusion they arrived at was that
the county seaters are afraid to meet
them on the diamond.
There is little doubt but that a
series of games between the peace
makers of these cities would be inter
esting and there cen to be equally
little doubt but that the Amboy blue
coats would come out the victors
should things go along on the level.
That would mean that only bonifde
cops could play and nc ringers would
thus be allowed TO participate.

Fish Tales

There is something peculiar about
the fishing along the New Jersey
coast and net owners think that
there must be a school of whale close
to the shore. The food fish are not
following up the coast n very
close Judging from the few hat get
caught in the nets, or else they are
getting foxy and keep outside OF the
pound pockets. The whales, II there
are more than n of them, would
brighten the fish off, but then, the
handltne men seem to catch plenty,
but they fish at least five miles from
the shore. One large whale has been
seen on several occasions recently
and should he show up again there
will be a whale hunt along the Jer-
sey coast.
The motorboat owner of this sec
ton of the state who has never had
the pleasure of cruising In Barnegat
Bay or any of the bays connected
with Barnegat, has missed consider
able. Newark boat owner cannot
enioy the Passaic river, so they get
from 1t as soon as possible. The
Hackensack river Is quite pretty, but
has many bad points. Long Island
Is a hard place to reach and
it Is not always safe for a small mo-
torboat. The run to the Highlands
tiresome. There are sixty
miles of creeks and thoroughfares
south of Bayhead, Barnegat Bay,
and they are all navigable from half
tide and most of them are nayigable
at all stages of the tide. Fish and
shore birds can be had In all direc-
lions. The channels run close to
many small villages that are on the
Q front from Bayhead to Cape
May, and camping sites are on every
hand. The two weeks cruise that
SO many boat owners take annually
would be ideal II taken along these
waterways, and 1t seems q
pity that the thought of connecting
them with the Shrewsbury river had
not occurred to some of u law
makers ten years ago.
