By the faint glow of their safety lamps the two men discovered on every side of them corpses, blackened, burned and-) mangled.

Dead bodies of mule. In th« rhumbur of l>«ath. lay crushed to a jelly by mine oars, which were scattered about to spli nteru. Pausing but long enough to saoortain the number of dead, the two men hurried back to tho ojwn air and summoned help. Stretchers and sheets were brought, ropes provided and a rude sled built to draw the corpses up the steep incline. P_ Soon tl a work of removing the dead bodies wi.s under way and terrible scenes were witnessed» they came to the surface. A strong guard of men held back the women who pressed forward madly to enter the mine.

They were then later In the aftornoon removal to their homes, and the company will see to their proper burial. All the morning the dead wagons P«« d t>ack and forth between the mine opening and the undertaker's morgue. No pen can describe the blood curdling scenes at the mines, the morgue and at the undertaker's establishment.

The families of the dead miners are in extreme want, some of them being without a day's food in the house, and now that the head of the house is gone they are without credit.

The cause of the cavern is believed to be the excessive amount of coal removed, not sufficient being left to carry the superin cumbent rock. The roof was specially dangerous because of Its being but 30 to 80 feet in thickness, permitting of local settle ments. Frequent comment is made on the fact that this accident, like many others of recent occurrence, is due to carelessness on the part of a subordinate official, in this fireboss. Though they are employed because of their prudence and experience they have been the very ones to imperil their own lives and those of others by acts of marked foolhardiness.
