Sticks of Giant Powder Go Off In the Midst of a Gang. (Dy Associated Trees ) HAZELTON. Pa.. July 17.-Another mine disaster occurred at Stockton No. 8 to-day, which ln detail Is the most shocking which ever took place ln the Lehigh coal fields. Two hundred sticks of giant powder exploded In the midst ot a gang of miners, and not enough of their bodies was left Intact to recognize them. Stockton colliery Is about one mile east of this cltv, and Is operated by Llnderman & Skcer. The mine Is but part of a series of openings which that Company operates In the Valley, and Is surrounded by hamlets In which the miners live. On account of Its Isolation from the main breaker. It has been customary to send the dynamite and other explosives ln boxes to No. 8, and distribute them to the workmen at the bottom of the second shaft as they appear In the morning on their way to work. Charles O'Donnell had charge of this department, and It wns his duty to distribute to the Company miners and starters the dynamite and caps. The first men to go down into the shaft this morning were the drivers, and these are the only ones to return alive from the opening. How many men or who they were who followed In the next car la not definitely known, and for this rea son the exact number of men killed will not be known until a list of the living Is taken. The drivers went Into the stables to harnesa their mules, and It was while thus engaged that, the explosion took place. Charles Shugert says he saw about a dozen men standing about O'Donnell receiving the powder a mo ment before the explosion took place. The drivers were hurled about promis cuously with fright, and, fearing an ex plosion of gas had taken place and a col lapse ofthe entire mine was about to follow, they simply waited for death. It was In this position they were found by some miners from No. 2, who hast ened through tho suteranean passage ways to No. 8. As soon as lights were seen the de moralized drivers hastened to the bot tom of the shaft. There a terrible. sight met their gaze. Strewn over the twisted and torn timbers were fragments ot human flesh and bones and limbs of the unfortunate miners. The men were too sick to attempt to remove the remains of the dead, but rescuing parties were quickly formed, and headed by Supt, Roderick a corps of miners descended Into the mine. It Is believed that at least a dozenjnen were blown to pieces. INVESTIGATING ASYLUMS. State Lunacy Commission Resumes the Work To-Dny.

Leopold Eldlltz, the architect ln charge of the construction of the new building being erected under the recent appropriation of J5O0.000, was called, and testified that about $M,000 would be re uqlred to complete the work properly. He admitted that buttresses weie con structed at IbIIp at a cost of $7,000 with out advertising, notwithstanding that It Is a rule that no city work over $1,000 In amount shall be let without tlnt being advertised.

Kerwin's Appointment Cheoks United Opposition to Tammany. Every Chance for a Split in the Re publ.can Party. Good Dtmo'rrata Turned Down by Platt-GUroy Methods. The deal Is on. Boss Piatt, Instead of making war on Tammany, Is cr-Mtlng strife and discontent .n his own party. His action Is calculated to sei'ine the result desired by Tammany the nom li.ntiou of a straight Republican ticket by the Platt-Reld-Mllholland faction and a split In the Republican party. Piatt's reward for preventing opposi tion to Tammany was the appointment yesterday by Mayor Gllroy of Piatt's man, Gen. Michael Kern In, as Police Commissioner. A few days ago there was talk of a compromise with ihe Hllss-Patterson faction. To-day the cry ot the Plattltes Is for a straight ticket no compromise. Gen. Kerwln has always carried out Boas Piatt's orders to the letter. He may be relied upon to do so in the future. While the Police Boird Is bi-partisan In name, It Is believed that It will be Tammany In fact and ruled by Tam many as much as It ever was. No one can be found to believe that MujJC Gllroy, the new boss of Tam lnsriy Hall, appointed Messrs. Murray a.. . Kerwln out of a pure sense of Jus tic" to the minority. It Is a matter of history that no Republican as ever v.ccu uy Tammany without a deal. oilcan now holding of i c.tv covet nn-ei't who does not owe his election to Tammany and Is not tair.it-u wmi .a..iinao w.. nectlons Is Judge Sedgwick, of the Superior Court. ,, . ,, 'I ho appointment of Police Justices Talntor, Meade and Smith was the re sult of a deal. The election of Rufus JJ. Cowing as City Judge last year whs the lesult of a deal. , The Indorsement of Judge Andrews, of the Court of Appeals, was the re sult of a deal. Tammany Is In absolute control or the city government. No one, not even an ash-barrel Inspector, can be ap pointed without the aid of Tammany. Theie arc from ten to twenty '1am many applicants for eery ortlce with in the gift of the wigwam. Home of these have worked day and night nnd spent their money to promote the Inter ests of Tammany, anil the public Is told that these deserting men must r.tund aside to give a $J,00o-a-ear Job to two Republican who have been lifelong en emies of Tammany Hsll. ln connection with Kerwin's appoint ment the Wine and Spirit Gazette, organ of the wholesale liquor dealer, makes this Interesting statement In Its last Is sue.
