THE following touching incident was
| telegraphed from Coalfeld, Va, the scene
/ of the recent mine horror, on the 7th: Su-

and, addressing the wailing throng Of wom-
en- and children around him, said: - My
dear friends, it grieves me to have to state
to you that for the present our search for
the bodies of those you knew and loved will
have to be abandoned. You know what fire
in a coal mine means, and it may take
months Of watching to subdue it. We will
close the pit now.' The speakers voice
quivered with emotion. When he finished,
a beautiful little girl OF IA years, Annie
Crowder, the only daughter of one of the
victims, uttered piercing scream and
rushed to the mouth of the pit, crying,
"Oh, do not leave my dear papa to burn
down therel Let me get in the cage and go
down after him. Let me save him" The
strong arms of the miners held her back as
the fragile thing tried to make her way to
the cage, and more than one blackened face
was made blaeker as the hand went up to
wipe away the tears. Men sobbed aloud
and turned away to conceal their emotion.
The little girl, finding her progress barred,
swooned at the mouth of the pit.
