HELP FOR THE FATHERLESS.
The Midlothian Mine HOrrOr-Re.
lief for the Suf1erers-An Appeal
TO the People.

RICHMOND, February 7.-AdVices from
the Midlothian mine disaster, received last
night, state that the body of Engineer Jos.
Cournow (white) was found yesterday, about
fifty feet from his engine. He was not dis
figured or burned, save slight bruise on the
nose. This makes five bodies recovered so
far. Regular shifts of ten men are now or
ganized, relieving each other every four
hours, and work will be pushed vigor-
ouslY. meeting OF citizens will be held
at Coalfeld to-day to present
an address to the public setting forth the
destitute condition of the widows and Or
phans and appealing for aid. The Baptist
ministers In their meeting yesterday unani-
mously resolved to take up collections in
their respective churches next Sunday for
the sufferers.
A meeting of citizens OF Midlothian was
held today for the purpose of forming a
plan to procure relief for the families Of
the entombed coal miners. Col. T. O'Brien
was In the chair. Rev. u. B. Winfree,
Hon. George Fl. Jewett and Messrs. Jacob
Boach and John MaDders were appointed
a relief committee. It was resolved that
the newspapers throughout the country be
respectfully requested to ask for and re-
ceive contributions for the aid of the suffer
ers, and to forward the same as fast az DOS
sible to the relief committee at Coalfeld,
Virginia, or to the First National Bank of
Richmond. The following appeal is issued;
"1O the Public: We appeal to the sympathy
and generosity Of the public for contribu-
tions for the relief and alienation Of the
sufferlngs Of iwenty-six widows and one
hundred and nine orphans, thrown upon
this community Dy the recent terrible ex-
plosion in the Midlothian Company's coal
mine in this township on the 81 instant.
At the time of the explosion there were
thirty-two men In the mine, every one of
| whom was killed. Twenty-six of them
were married, and leave widows and
| children, the great majority of them
in helpless and destitute condition. To
have this large additional number of de-
pendents thrown upon this small and i'm
poverlshed community in ore day in mid
winter, forces the necessity of appealing for
outside aid to prevent, as far as possible,
! further suffering and distress. The Rich
m ond ard Danville Railroad Company will
carry free all packages sent to the relief
committee at Coalfeld."

CHARGE OF THE SIX HUNDRED.
An HiatOrical Document Discovered d
In a Drunkard's' Pocket.

In the pocket Of a drunkard who died a
few days ago in the city prison OF San Fran
cisco was found a curious document, pur-
porting to be in brief the autobiography of
man who began actual life with more than
the usual share of ambition and glory. In
the worn and almost illegible page was
found the following description of the
famous charge at Balaklava, the writer at
the age OF sixteen having apparently been
one OF the immortal six hundred; "The
bugles rang out their shril calls TO charge,
and we went right at the centre of our foes.
The shock was fearful one. As we struck
against the enemy, Mgscovite cavalryman,
with look as black as hate on his face and
his eye blazing, aimed his lance at my heart.
| parIied his blow and struck his weapon
down, ard then dispatched him. But it
must have been from him / received
a wound, for at night l found my left
boot full OF blood and lance wound right
und-r the knee cap. In striking down his
lance the point Of it entered my leg, but In
the excitement of the moment 1t passed un-
noticed. / never could tell how we broke
through the Russian lines, but we did.
When we appeared on the other side / came
to my senses. Then we met another line of
the enemy, but our spirits were up, and we
passed through them like sheet of light
ming. 1t was terrific work, and our troops
suffered heavily. That wound under the
knee pan was all l received during the
bloody work of the Crimean campaign. 1t
fires me up little, even now, when l think
OF those times, just like an old war horse at
the sound of a trumpet; but l don't think l
would care to see or pass through them
again. went into that charge private
and came out Corporal, besides receiving
two distinguishing marks for bravery and
good conduct

A REMARKABLE ESCAPE.
Nine Stage Passengers Saved from a
sudden and Terrible Death.

A Richmond, Va, dispatch of the 4,b
inst. says an accident occurred there that
day which, while frightful in its character.
was remarkable for the fortunate escape OF
nine persons from a shocking death. AT
about three O'Clock that afternoon, as one
OF the stages running between that city and
Manchester was crossing MaYo's bridge
coming to Richmond, the second span of
the structure suddenly gave way, carryir z
with It the stage with its load Of eight pas
sengers and driver. The whole span, nearly
seventy-fve feet in lengah, broke awav from
the two granite pillars upon which 1t restee
as clearly as II each end had been sawed
through. and sank with crash to the rocky
pea OF the river beneath, distance of nearly
thirty feet. Fortunately the falling snan
did not tilt and the stage remained tIDon r.
In an upright position until the bottom was
reached, when the vehicle was overturned
and the horses thrown into the water. and
neeomlng entangled In the iron work of the
orldge their exesti0ns dragged the stage
INTO the rivsF. The male passengers sue
ceeded IN getting out through the broken
SIDE or the stage to the bridge span. which
remained between the pillars, having struck
on rocky bottom and become fixed They
tnen quickly drew the females out, and all
remained on the half submerged debris until
rescued,
re catastrophe soon drew large crowd
to the eeene, but nothing could be done
from the elevated point at the end of the
bridge to relieve those below, and a hook
and ladder truck was telephoned for as the
best and quickest means of extricating
them, but before it arrived a small boat,
containing two men, came up from several
hundred yards down the river and took off
the female passengers and landed them and
then returned for the others.
1t was found that while no one was fatal
iy hurt, all had sustained injuries more or
less serious. Charles W. Turner, lawyer, of
Manchester, was badly hurt In the back and
his arm sprained and hand crushed: Capt.
A. s. Wood, conductor on the Richmond
and Danville Railroad, and Capt. E. o At
ter, conductor on the Richmond and York
River Road, were slightly bruised. The
driver of the stage, John Boyle, was badly
bruised on the left side. The lady passen-
gers were Mrs. Ida Mosby, Miss Alice Git
tings, daughter Of W. F. Cuttings, member
OF the Legislature from Chesterfield ana
Miss Sallie O'Brien 4; also a colored woman
named Betsy Williams, who had ber ten
months-old infant in her arms. All were
thoroughly drenched and somewhat bruised,
and as quickly as possible they were sent to
their respective homes.
