Memorial services were held at Braid
wood, ILL.,, on Sunday. The morning,
which saw large concourse of people
vending their sad way toward the
Music Hall, was beautiful one. BY IL
o'clock the hall was packed with an au-
dience composed of many of the suffer
ing widows and orphans and the citi-
zens of the place. During the memorial
addresses many of those present were
in tears. The sermon was preached by
the Rev. w. Adams. In the afternoon
memorial services were held in the
Presbyterian Church at Diamond. The
scenes witnessed were more affecting
than those in the meeting in the morn
ing, many of the poor women breaking
down and weeping aloud. The Revs.
Adams and Brunell conducted the
meeting, and, on account of the amount
OF feeling that was manifested, did not
make any extended reference to the
catastrophe, but drew the attention
of the audience to the instability of life
and the quickness of departure from this
world. To-day more people have visited
the mine than on any previous day since
Sunday last, and those who came seem
ed to watch with interest the work of
removing the water, both by pumps and
by buckets. At times there were as
many as 200 people in the vicinity of the
mine. This renewed interest was pro-
badly brought on by the slowness with
which the work is being done. and the
rumor to the effect that a mans hat
had been found floating in the main
shaft last night, and that it was thought
the body of the owner would come to
the surface at the end of nine days.
The hole has been nearly filled. and ii
no longer presents the gaping look that
greeted the eyes of the visitor a few
days ago. 1t is said no danger need be
feared further from this source. The
water has been reduced only three feet
to-day. making it forty-nine or fifty feet
below its first line. A new stationary
engine has been ordered to run two
large pumps.
