VV. W. HAYWARD'S STATEMENT. J
My son, Harry T. Hayward, wanted
me to take hold of what he called his
"confession" and publish it In book
form. I positively declined. He said
I could make $50,000 out of it. "I am
going to make out that I have mur
dered and robbed people and paint
everything red." I asked him how he
could make such a statement as that,
when he had told me that he was never
arrested and never done anything -to
cause his arrest until this case. He re-
cause his arrest until this case. He re-
plied "I don't care. I am not under
oath. What I have told mother and
you is the truth. What I am .having
written for the book is a pack of lies
from beginning to end, but I don't want
I you to worry about it. The public is
better satisfied with lies than the truth.
You know how the papers have lied
about me now they may have all they
want" This conversation occurred the
Sunday and Monday immediately pre-
ceding his execution and was addressed
to me in the presence of my wife.

HARRY'S CONFESSION.
Sensational Story Told During His
Sensational Story Told During: His
Lust Hours on Earth.
Barely twenty minutes before his
Barely twenty minutes before his
death Harry Hayward completed what
he claimed was a true confession of his
criminal career. For hour after hour
he had talked, his statement being
taken down as he gave it by a stenog
rapher. The entire story, as told by
him, would fill o large volume, but
much of It was of a rambling style, the
vaporings of a halt-crazed brain. Fol-
lowing is a condensation of the main
points in the alleged confession:
"Well. I suppose there is not much
use beginning with my very early life,"
said the murderer, after the contract
bad been signed and the stenographer,
R. A. Mabey, was seated in the corri-
dor, with a small table in front of him,
and the speaker and his cousin and
another of the company bending close,
"It was passed like that of most boys,
except that I always had about all I
wanted, and if 1 had been satisfied to
go drubbing along I might have been
like other boys to the end. I suppose
you are anxious to get down to this
last crime, but I want to tell it all ;
j like a book, and then lt will live after i
j me, and I will be In literature.
"Now, let me see," continued the ,'
I speaker, who had to be constantly !
! brought to the thread of his story by
questions. "Where did I first begin to
gamble? I suppose it was playing mar-
bles, but the first real games of chance
that took me was at a church fair
when I was quite a boy. Then I went
to work. Now, at the trial they tried
to make out that I never worked, but
I did, for I kept books and clerked
In a cigar store, and some of the big
public men used to trade there. While
I was there I used to shake dice, and
sometimes for pretty high stakes. That
gave me my first craze for gambling,
and then I got to playing faro and
poker and the rest. You know all
about that, and how I was called
'Lucky Harry' by about everybody.
Well, finally I got tired of playing in
Minneapolis and St. Paul. I won some-
times as high as $5,500 In a sitting, and
I heard of big games in other cities,
and so I began to travel about. I
believe honestly I have played In about !
every city in the Union, and in Alaska,
Mexico and Cuba.
"I never had any very great trouble '
until I had been gambling for some i
time. I met with desperate characters,
and soon got reckless.. I got in with a
gang of counterfeiters about seven
years ago, and have dealt In that mon
ey ever since. I do not Intend to give
them away, for there is honor, you
know, among thieves. I never spent
much of the stuff; it .was too risky,
but I used It for flash rolls andfor work-
ing schemes with. I remember when
the first time came to me when I got
mad enough to kill. It was in St. Louis,
and I was out for a ride, and the horse
acted bad and made me mad. So I
killed him. I never got into any trouble
for that. I just paid for hhn, and
that settled It. Let me see. When was
the next thing of interest? yyZ'X
MURDERED A CHINAMAN.
"It was somewhere In the latter part
of 1893. No, that's not the 'first. The
first was out in Chinatown, San Fran
cisco. I was playing with a Chinaman
for small stakes, and the Celestial was
cheating me. I jumped up and told
him I had found him out, and he came
at me with a knife. I pulled the heavy
chair from under me, but I couldn't
get a good swing to strike him, so
I poked the leg at him, and struck him
In the face. He fell, and then I punch-
ed the leg into his eye, and it crushed
right into the skull, and he lay still.
I told some of this to Blixt, but I
added to it, and lied to* him to make it
worse. After "that I dug a hole in.
the place, under » the floor. in. the shed,
broke up the chair, and buried It with
the body there. I never' heard- any
trouble from It, although the papers
made a report of the -finding of the
body. That was about July ,or Aug.
24, 1593. ■ ,*-> :.-■•• •■.■-:
"After beginning I rather* liked the
excitement. Then luck followed me,
and 1 went from there to Passedena.
ST. PAUL, MINN.: FRIDAY^ -MORNING, DECEMBER 20, 1895.
I had formed the acquaintance of a
lively girl, a regular adventuress, one
of these girls who never live at one
place long, and change boarding places •
continually, because they are found
out If they stay too long In" one. I
was a little pressed for money, and
she had saved $500. I had her pat, but
I couldn't get the money except by
pretending I had an investment for
her that was a money maker. She
turned over the money, and I took her
out riding, shot her, and buried t^e
body. She was not very ■ well known
and was never missed. I never heard
of that matter from that day to this.
"Then the last trouble before, this
was at El Paso del Norte. I was
mixed with a girl there, and we used
to paint things once in a while. One
-night her brother caught us together
in my room and had us dead to rights.
He was crazy, and came, at me with a
knife. • I tried to beat him off with a
chair, and the girl cried to me to shoot
him, or he would kill me, and she would
be . found out. -I Tired on him, and
struck him in the shoulder, and he
dropped the knife, and the girl jumped
out of bed and picked it up. He was
quiet enough after that, and I took him
to a drug store and had his wound
dressed. He gave a story of how it
happened to ward off suspicion, I
promised to marry the girl, and all
was well for the time. I left there and
learned afterward that he died from
blood poisoning from, the wound, i; y.
INTRODUCED TO MISS GING.
"To come down to the events con
nected -with the thing that brought me
here, let me see. 1 was introduced to
Kate Ging In January, 1594. That was
the beginning of our acquaintance, and
it was at a time when 1 had been suf
fering pretty heavy losses. It was
about April 1 before I was real - well
acquainted with her, and then I set
out to get her money. I secured, off
and on much more than people think.
The state did not make It out as much, '
but I really think on the whole that I
secured about $2,800 from her. That
was right about my playing the bank
with her for a partner, and that Chi
cago business. I didn't lose the money
there, and didn't intend to. I never
took any notes nor gave any up to the
time when we fixed up the last scheme.
There was no need to do so, for she
was ready to play and would risk fit all.
"No one has placed that matter
right, between thait girl and me. I
hypnotized her not the way you all
call hypnotism— but by studying her
and playing right. She was a good
business woman, but she was not j
highly educated, and yet wanted- to
pretend that she understood things j
readily. In that way I could work on j
her only through mystery. If I: was
mysterious, she would pretend to un-
derstand, " because she was too proud
to pretend she did ! not, and so she
would move to my notion blindly
enough to suit any purpose. I want
this distinctly understood that, moral
ly, with . Kate Ging there was abso- I
lutely nothing wrong. People have I
said that I swore to that in order to |
shield her, arid seme have said that it I
was an agreement . made that her
name should be protected, but I say
honestly that all through I played the
noble racket with her, and said that
even tihough I was a ' wild devil I
would not do her a wrong for the
world.
"Early in the year I arranged mat-
ters about that, mill at Hamil, and the
mill burned down all right. I won't
say hew, for, as- 1 said before, there
is honor among thieves. In regard to
Adry, my brother, when I first thought
of the . echecne .to do up the girl, I
thought of Adry, for he had worked
ali right in seme smaller details,, al-
though he always kept within the pale
of the law. That .was all right about
that scene in tfiie office, which he told
Stewart. That was when I ' dropped
him. He was too white-livered to suit
me, and. I had lost.' my power over him
some way since he was married.
" HIS PLANS IN DETAIL.
"Now, about this murder, which is
the principal thing. I wanted a
scheme to get the girl's life insured,
and then work her out of the way. I
had my man Blixt ready, for I had
tried him, and thought I could work
him. There was no paper between
Kate and I up to the time when I pro
posed a great speculation to her. I
told her that I' had owned $20,000 worth
of diamonds, which I had pawned in
New York for $10,000, and I wanted to
get them out of the man's hands and
give her the benefit, to square with
her for the debts I owed her. She did
not see how I could do that, so I told
her. Said I:
', " 'Now, here is the way we will do ii_
You can get your life insured for <
$10,000, and make the policies to me. It
will cost you but about $200, and I can
take the policies and give them to this
New York man as security for the
diamonds, and he will give them 'up to
me, then I can turn them over to you.'
■ "In order to convince her that she
could get her life insured I made in
quiries, and she did the same, and after
a time she agreed to the proposition.
Then there came the point about the
insurable interest, and I was up a
stump for a time. Then I' thought of
the scheme to have her give me notes
and pretend that she was borrowing
money to increase her business with.
This I had to do In order that the- in-
terest might not be attacked by her
estate after her death. Then I fixed
up those letters from me to her and !
from her to me, wrote and had the I
small notes signed, and then the big.
ones. She would not accede to this,
however, unless I would actually pay
over to her some money, and I rather I
liked that idea. She said she ought to
have some security for the notes she |
gave, in case the diamonds did not ar- j
rive, I liked the idea, because it could |
give me witnesses to paying over the
money.
"Then we arranged for exhibiting I
money in restaurants, and all that j
which was brought out on the trial. |
Then came that day in the Oneida block
when the money was paid. over. The
public is curious, of course,a.bout that.
Well I really paid over to her about
$7,000. Bllxt lied about my wanting
him to say there were big bills there
when we went into the elevator. Of i
those bills, $2,000 was good money and |
the other counterfeit. It was In two |
large envelopes just as the elevator boy
testified. That part about her finding
the money short and going into the
next room tol count it was right. "When |
the notes were signed and the policies j
turned over, with the assignments, I
during the passing around of papers, I
It was easy for me to take the money
from the envelopes, and put in papers ,
instead. I hid the money under the j
blottter on the table until she was
gone.
"It had been agreed that the envel-
opes should be deposited in a safety |
deposit vault, and that they could not
be taken out until the diamonds came,
or else they failed to come, and she
should return me the money, and I
the rotes to her. I made a mark on
the envelopes, so that I would know
if they were opened, and then she
went away. That was all there was to
that scene, All those deals about her
trying to rent a store, my telling Wat-
erman about going to lend her money,
and her telling Waterman, was for a
purpose. It was- a part of the play.
GETTING HER OUT OF THE WAY.
"Well, this done, came the part of
getting her out of the way, and there
Blixt came In. I hypnotized him all
right, but of course no court would
recognize that. When I used to talk
to him he would say everything I said.
For instance, I said to him, 'Blixt,
what do you think of ' that girl up
stairs, that dressmaker?' and he would
&ay, "What do you think of her?' 'I
think she ought to be out ln the grave
yard,' I would answer, and he would
say, 'I think she ought to be out in the
graveyard.' I worked him up by talk
ing crime to him, until he was more
crazy for blood than I was. He wanted
to get at her at once after the night
came when he was to do the deed. Most
of the things he told were truths, but
he lied considerably to ease himself
off. At the same time I had him hpno-
tlzed, and he was. crazy to do my bid
ding. All that about my forcing whis
ky on him is a He. He asked for it to
brace his nerves, and I brought him
two bottles. - -—
jj "Matters were getting interesting,
.and I was beginning to be nervous. 1
had to arrange some scheme to get rid
l of the girl. Blixt suggested starting
'up the elevator with her a-nd making
it an accident. He lied and said I did,
but I was afraid that she might not be
quite dead, and if she could speak she
might be suspicious. Then I worked

WASHINGTON, Dec. Among
Secretary Olney's callers today were*
Ministers Adradae, of Venezuela;'
Mendonie, of Brazil, and Romero, of;
Mexico, representing three of the flist
republics of South and Central Amer
ica. Though this was diplomatic re-.
ception day at the state department,,
their call at this particular time oc
casioned much comment. Although:
none of the Central and. South Amer
ican diplomats will consent to be;

pressure, several of them being in-
volved in disputes with European na
tions at this time. The statement
is made by one of them that several:
important results will follow from'
the vigorous construction of the Mon-
roe doctrine. First, it is said, will
be the official adherency of the
Southern republics, making the dec-
laration practically unanimous from
the Western hemisphere. It is point
ed out that Lord Salisbury insisted
that the Monroe doctrine was not rec
ognized as international law, but this
it is said will be answered by showing
! that all the republics of North and ;
South America accept it as the law '
governing them. The project of an-
other conference of American repub
lics, in line with. the Pan-American
conference, but with a view to polit
ical alliance rather than commercial
reciprocity, is being discussed also.
There have been a number of these
conferences,. largely devoted to aca
demic discussion, but the strong, as-
sertion of the Monroe doctrine would
give a practical aspect to such a
meeting. .'•_ . .
,: , .ALL WILL SUPPORT IT. -v
How far these hopes and purposes '
of the. Southern countries were com- ,
municated to Mr. Olney today is not
known, but jhe was' doubtless" madel
aware of the strong.prevailing feel
ing, and the intention to give it
official' expression as soon as, word
could be received from the several
governments. represented. ..The. sug
gestion is made with much directness"
in diplomatic circles that the course
of the United States^ assures to it
the moral and physical support of
the Southern and Central American
republics.' In the aggregate :-,- the
allied strength of the Western re- •
publics, with the United States at its
head, would constitute a formidable
factor in international affairs. It is
not suggested among diplomatists :
that such an alliance will take the
formal. shape of a treaty, but it is
urged that the feeling of union exist
ing constitutes a compact quite as
effective as a forma! understanding.
Senator Morgan, at present" chair
man of the senate committee on for
eign relations had an interview with
Secretary Olney during " the after
noon on the subject of the Ven
ezuelan issue, and the secretary also
talked with Senator Lodge and Sen
ator Mills on the same matter, al
though he was obliged in order to do .
so to suspend his rigid rule against j
granting interviews to any one not j
a member of the diplomatic corps on
Thursdays* He was also for a short
time closeted with Mr. McAddo, the
acting . secretary of the navy, who
was called on to furnish information
on some special subject.
. . THE ATLANTIC SQUADRON, f
Admiral Bunce, commanding the
North Atlantic squadron, came up to
Washington from his flag ship New I
York, in Hampton Roads, today, and
had a consultation with Acting Sec- .|
retary McAddo respecting the move- j
ments of his squadron. The feeling
is growing in naval circles that the
cruise will be abandoned, for it is
now regarded as highly imprudent to
send away from the country the only i !
substantial defense of the .Atlantic ij
seaboard. There is also a suggestion A
that it would be prudent to recall':!
the Mediterranean squadron, com- ,'
prising three of our finest cruisers, -j
which would be left hopelessly "bot- j
tied up" in the event that matters '-

No Cur» Move After Dark in Phila
delphia.,
j PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Dec. 19.— :
: The Traction strike situation tonight
*is practically unchanged. Cars were
] run on some. lines during the day,
tinder heavy police guard, but at
dusk they were all withdrawn, and
tonight are in their stables. Up to
a late hour tonight the electrical
I workers of the company were in ses
j sion. They passed a resolution of
sympathy for the strikers, appropri
ated $25 for their aid and said they
were willing to go oh strike when-
ever the request was made by Pres
ident Mahon, .of the Amalgamated
association. All day and' night ru
mors of arbitration were J plentiful.
The strikers are willing to submit
their grievances to an arbitration
| committee, .but .the company refuses
j to have anything to do with any-
I body associated with" the Amalga
! mated association. Thomas Dolan,
I one of the board of directors and -the
I heaviest stockholder of the com
! •pany, said tonight: .•','.'.'•.'-,*.•X -'Z
"The president and management of
the Union Traction company are pre-
pared and willing to listen attentively
carefully and considerately to any
grievance of their employes. If they
have any, and if they have they .will
be remedied; but under no circum- j
stances, either now or at "any other
time, will they allow outside parties
to come between themselves and their.
[employes. The reports oi dissensions
between the officials of the company
are ridiculous. The matter is entlrelly
in the hands of President Welsh, and
the board is absolutely unanimous in
their support of him." « ■
MOBS ARE QUIET.
There was marked improvement in
the situation of affairs throughout !
the day. The omnipresence of police- i
men, mounted and on foot, was effect- j
ual in subjugating the mobs.. There j
were few outbreaks, and these were !
mainly in the outlying districts. They
were subdued with little difficulty,
although a number of arrests were
made. A total of nearly 200 cars !
ran over the tracks of several
branches during the day, without
serious molestation; This was. due
only to the presence of each of four
or more armed policemen. Some
lines aid not run a car. Few people
sought this method of travel, how-
ever, preferring to accept the less
commodious, but safer, means offered
by furniture wagons, if the suburban
railroad lines could not serve their
purposes. Every imaginable kind of
conveyance was impressed into serv-
ice. Carriages of all sorts are at a
premium, and it is next to impossible
.to secure any.
Shortly after the noon hour Mar
ket street, at Ninth, where the post
office is located, became so clogged
with people that Superintendent of
Police Linden ordered charges by
the squadrons of mounted policemen
stationed at each corner. The on
slaught was unexpected, and before
the mob had a chance to break, the
horses were pushed to the sidewalk,
and the policemen, about twenty-four
in number, bore down with swinging
clubs. Several broken heads result
ed, but the unruly element was ef
fectually checked. At other points
along the street there were minor
outbreaks, all of which weer easily
quelled. With nightfall : the liquor
saloons again observed Mayor War-
wick's order to close, and every car
was -withdrawn from the streets.
This resulted in a restoration of
quiet. " V-V;: •''-'•"
This afternoon a notice was posted
in all depots ordering the men •to
report for duty as usual at 4 o'clock
tomorrow morning, and declaring
that all who fail to observe the order
'shall" no longer be in the service of
the company. It had no apparent
-effect on the men.

LONDON, Dec. If).— Sir Michael
j LONDON, Dec. 19.— Sir Michael
Hicks-Beach, chancellor of- the ex-
chequer, made an address tonight in
Bristol which contained an import-
ant suggestion of the probable next
step to be taken by the British gov
ernment in the Venezuelan contro
versy, namely, the issuance of a
statement by Lord Salisbury, which
Sir Michael intimated might nut a
new face on affairs. The chancellor
warned his hearers against exagger
ating the gravity of the Venezuelan
trouble. But some persons, he went
on to say, talk of the impossibility
of war between the United States
and Great Britain because of the ties
of kinship between the two nations.
Nothing was impossible," he asserted,
which had already occurred, and if
kinsmen unfortunately differed,
sometimes they became very bitter
enemies. But there were reassur
ances in the fact that he did not
believe the people on either side of
the Atlantic desired war. He thought
that when the true statement, which
Lord Salisbury had about prepared,
was shortly published, the result
would* be happy, honorable and
peaceful to both sides.
The financial article In the Times* to-
morrow will predict that theevil effects
of President Cleveland's action in the
Venezuela matter on the financial po
sition of America will be serious and
protracted, while the depletion cf the
treasury's gold will continue for a long
time. ■-:■'-■'■■" '. ...
The Westminster Gazette says: "The
Marquis of Salisbury has made a mis-
take in arguing that the Monroe doc-
trine is obsolete. It is not so by any
means. It would most rigidly apply
should'**t_uropean powers attempt to
apply American doctrines to the Hin
terland of Africa. The first duty of
those defending England is to explain
and insist that it is rot the doctrine it-
self, but only its applicability to the
present question of boundaries, which
Is In dispute." -
i The St. James Gazette expresses the
; opinion that the speech of the United
States ambassador, at the dinner of the
Actors' Benevolent fund last evening
was "everything that could be friend-
ly, passionately, pathetically, friendly
to this country." "But." the Ga
zette says, "unfortunately Mr. Bayard
Is himself under a cloud as regards the
American, public." -
' ' INJURIOUS TO SPINNERS.
A dispatch to the Press Association
from Manchester says .that President
Maeara, of the Federation of Master
Cotton Spinners, -said in an Interview
that war between Great Britain and
the United States would entail incalcu
lable loss and misery upon the Lanca-
shire cotton workers, as five-sixths of
the material necessary to feed the Lan-
cashire spindles comes from America.-'
The Globe, a high Conservative or-:
gan, and a newspaper which may be
supposed to be on terms of intimacy
with the government, gives warning
that Great Britain will remain firm,
saying: ."President Cleveland may ap-
point a dozen commissions, but Eng-
land will remain firm in her refusal to
recognize them and jurisdiction of this
sort. This is our unalterable position,
be the consequences what they may.
; We will never submit to such unpar
alleled dictation." - .--.•- . .- .
• The Globe Is Irate at the utterances
of Chauncey M; Depew, especially his
references to the easy manner in which
the United States could conquer Can-
ada, remarking: '.'The overwhelming
naval strength of England would en-
able her to pour troops Into Canada at
any sign of danger, and small, war-
ships could be sent to the lakes and
Chicago, Detroit and Buffalo would be
utterly at. their mercy."
WHAT HANOTAUX THINKS.
Opinion of the French ex-Minis-
ter of Foreign Affairs.
LONDON, Dec. 19.— A special " dis-
patch from Paris gives an account of
an interview with M. Hanotaux, the
former French minister for foreign af-
fairs, in which he is quoted as saying,
referring to the Venezuelan dispute,
that he thought a question of this
character ought to be settled on Its
own -merits and not on a general ■ ques
tion of principle. Any bearing which
Monroeism might have upon this par-
ticular case was a matter for Great
Britain and the United. States to set-
tle. He expressed the most implicit
confidence that the Marquis of Salis-
bury's- firmness and. fairness would
find a satisfactory solution of the dif
ficulty, without having recourse to
force. - ''.'-■•
M. Hanotaux Is then quoted as say-
ing: "In the dispute between France
and Venezuela, which, however, was
not of a territorial character, the
United States sought to interfere. As
foreign minister, I resisted such In-
tervention, and simply demanded that
we be allowed to settle with Venezuela
direct, without any sort of interfer
ence by a third party."
. EUROPEAN SYMPATHY.
England Cannot Reckon on Re-
ceiving; Much of It.
PARIS, Dec. 19.— The Temps says:
"An Indefinite extension of the Mon-
roe doctrine, and, above all, of Presi-
dent Cleveland's strange innovation,
are calculated to eventually Infringe
the Interests and rights of all powers
which have colonies In America, and
it behooves the cabinets of the powers
to examine how far they can allow a
precedent to be established which
might afterwards be brought up
against them. While this is none the
less true, Great Britain will probably .
be wrong In reckoning upon much ef
fective sympathy in Europe."
The Liberte says: "Great Britain has
diplomatic right on her side, but we
hesitate to think she will make that a
casus belli."

WASHINGTON, Dec. % 19.— The de-
livery to Mgr. B Satolli of the zuchetto
(a small red skull cap) and the con-
sistoral letter Informing him of his
elevation to the cardlnalate, which are
preliminary to the conferring upon him
of the beretta, took place at the Cath

duty was performed by the Marquis
Sacrapanti, the pope's messenger, who
also bears the beretta. A number of
dignitaries were Invited to witness the
ceremony. Marquis Sacrapanti, in full
uniform, explained his mission in a
few words and the conslstorial Utter
was read by Mgr. Sharrettl. Mgr.
Satolli in reply made some extempo
raneous remarks. He was filled, he
said', with a sense of the unmerited
goodn ss of the pope in selecting "one
so unworthy as myself for a dignity
so exalted" and was overcome by the
manifestation of personal regard and
fatherly love of the holy father
towards him. Addressing his remarks
particularly to the marquis, he said:
"You will find much to admire and
wonder at in this country. I am cer-
tain, however, that you will admire
nothing more than the wonderful spirit
of union and brotherly love which pre-
vails in this great republic. You nave
arrived at a particularly interesting
moment in this country, a moment
when a spark has been set through-
out the length and breadth of the
states which calls the attention of all
its citizens to a danger which is
thought' to menace it, and whatever
may have been up to today the divid-
ing Interests of this great people, a
new manifestation of the patriotic
spirit has responded at ones to this
impulse, and in reply throughout the
country hut one voice Is heard pro-
claiming that if real danger dot-
threaten, all are and will toe united
for the common welfare of the nation."
The new cardinal then took the zuch-
etto and placed it on his head. .Later
the cardinal and his guests dined to-
gether.

their losses, and of so inflaming the
Mussehnans as to make their resi

RALEIGH, N. C, Dec. 19.— At 9
o'clock this morning, shortly after
the day force, numbering sixty-seven
men, had gone on duty at the Cum-
nock mines, six miles west of here,
a terrible fire damp explosion oc
curred, with fatal results. On hearing
the report the people of the village
and relatives of the entombed miners
j hastened to the scene, but for some
time they were unable to gain any
tidings from below. After pumping
I fresh air into the shafts several
miners were prevailed upon. to yen-
. ture down and investigate. They
I found and brought out twenty-five
men from Shafts Nos. 2 and 3. Five
I of them were badly wounded and
1 some of them will probably die; oth
ers were slightly wounded. A mule
and two men were killed in Slope
No. 2. After considerable delay the
searching party entered Slope No. 1,
where they were greeted by a most
horrible sight. Dead men, fearfully
mutilated, were found; some of them
partially covered with pieces of coal,
timber and other debris. The search-
ing party came up and reported what
they had found. At 4 o'clock ten or
twelve miners went down to bring
up the dead, but at last accounts
none of the bodies had been recov
ered.
Several of the dead were negroes
and foreigners, and nearly all the
' rest were natives of North Carolina.
Several had families living at Cum-
nock. Eight were from Pennsyl-
j vania, and expected to return to that
state tomorrow to visit relatives. A
quantity of dynamite was in the
mine and exploded, wrecking coal
cars and splitting massive pieces of
-timber Into kindling wood. Mothers,
wives and sisters were around the
. mines all day wringing their hands
with grief, expecting every minute
