Evans Tuesday evening resumed the in¬
quest on the body of Mrs. Ellon-Hite, a
vfatnrf of the flood. Expert witnesses
only were examined:
J. v. L. ** Coffin, of this place, a mechani¬
cal engineer, the South first witness, said he
considered the Fork dam unsafe,
as it leaked. There was, said he, no
means of drawing off the water.
John Ftilton. general manager of the
Cambria iron works, was the next wit¬
ness. He said that hay had been used
to stop up leaks in the dam, and he be¬
lieved that the repairs made after the
bursting of the dam in 1880 were not
perfect. He also mentioned that escape
pi|*3s should have been used.
Pittsb
ered the dam perfectly safe, and at¬
tributed its bursting to the extraordi¬
nary rainfall on the morning of the fa¬
tal disaster. He believed that the burst¬
ing of the dam contributed to the disas¬
ter of the flood.
John G. Parks, of Pittsburg,' also ah
engineer, said he was at South Fork
when the dam burst, and in detail he
told of the rapid rise of the water.
When he arose on the fatal morning he
found the lake the water boiling surprisingly and boisterous. high, and He
was
told of how the water had extended

rowed fences. in The a yawl over the from adjoining eight to
