AFTER MANY DAYS.
Recovery OF the Bodies Of the Drowned Braid
wood Miners

special from Braidwood, Ill, dated the
26th inst. ssssTTs: The work of recovering the
bodies of the seventy-.Ss coal miners who were
drowned at the Diamond shat, near this city,
on February 16 by the shaft being 1Aaoded,
began last night after thirty-eight days of in
cessant pumping. Thousands of people focked
to the shaft all day. Your correspondent ex-
accessible. The first sight that met the view
at the bottom of the mine was the CHASTITY
bodies of four of the Inflated coal miners The
bodies were in very fair state of preservation
considering the length of time they have been
immersed in the water. Three of them were
dressed in miners suits, and the fourth had on
only an undershiFt and pantaloons, with belt
around the waist. None of the victims faces
were distorted. Proceeding twenty yards fur
ther, a band of miners wGs engaged in reinov-
ing heavy fall of rock from the body Of q fifth
victim. The poor follow lay upon his face, his
head only projecting from under the mass of
rocks. After removing tho body, progress was
made fifty yards further in southefly direc-
ton and fall of more than seventy-iye tons
was encountered. 1T being ten yards long aud
SIX feet high the work OF removing it began
at once, aud upon cutting away some of the
broken props the body OF she sixth corpse was
seen lying upon the rocks to which position it
had apparently foated. The hosting Of the
bodies commenced at midnight, and three of
them are now III the 1mproV1Sed morgue, which
is surrounded by hundreds OF people, including
many of the grief-stFicken widows and orphans.
4 bright bonfire lights up the scene, and mics
of prairie-tre add to the weird effect.
Up to noon to-day twenty-five bodies were
taken from the shaft, and of these the follow
ing could be recognized: Patrick Wall Joseph
Smith, Joseph Carroll, Frank Kloss, Michael
Bannon, John johnson, Matthew Redmond,
John Cullough, Arson Dembrosky, August
Palensis, Frank Merry, Daniel Mcbride, John
Brokauan, Herman TIMBER, John Boyd, and
John Atkins The remainder have not been
identified. At o'clock this morning funeral
train left this place for the Diamond mine to
remove the bodies to the cemetery. By 8
o'clock eighteen bodies in collins had been
transferred to two fat cars and the train moved
out. AS it was passing the village of Diamond
Mrs. Redmond signallei the train and was al
lowed TO take the coffin in which her boy was
placed, she declaring that she would give him
proper burial At Braidwood many sud scenes
occurred. Women and children cried about
the tin and demanded that the collins be
taken from the cars and the lids removed, which
in many cases was done. The remains were
then placed in hearses and afterward buried.

The Lntest Snake Story.

4 fight between rattlesnake and black
snake was recently witnessed near Fort Worth,
Texas. The black snake forced the fighting,
gliding around in swift circles while the rattle
snake lay coiled. The circles grew smaller and
the rattlesnake appeared confused as the black
snake grew closer. His rattIes ceased to give
out their usual sharp sound, and his mead drop
ped as if vertigo was Selling him. The black
snake seized, by a lightning movement the rat
tier by the throat and winding about him the
two rolled over aud over together In few
minutes the rattlesnaSe ceased to breathe. An
examination of the dead body of the rattle
snake revealed fracture in the spine as com
plete as if done by blow with a club. The
rattlesnake measured five feet and three inches.

COSTLY CHICKENS.
A Half BusheI of Money Paid Cor Half EusheI
Of Hens.
[From he Army and Macy Jotu1lcI.l


From tke Army and Macy JotsrncIl
Governor Eli Murray, of Utah, tells this ex-
cellent story: never shall forget the amount
Of money it cost US to keep an old woman from
CRYING herself to death. OF course we were
obliged to subsist of the country as we went
along, and We naturally took about the best in
sight. One day We took possession of chicken
ranch kept by an old lady, who stood at the
gate with broom and threatened 10 lick all Of
SAeraan's forces if they did not move ON.
Now chickens were considered officers meat
and as we were Internally hungry we went for
those hens pretty lively. When she saw that
her f:ivorite fowls were being caught and killed
she kseled right over and began 10 cry. Pres
entity she began to scream, and finally Yea
could hear that wofnan's voice clear to Atlanta.
l sent the surgeons in to quiet her, but they
failed, and then the officers took turns, but the
more attention PAID her the more she howicd.
/ thea got pretty nervous over the internal
noise. because the whole army would hear il,
and they might suppose somebody Wa toTtGr-
ing the woman. Finally sherman rode up and
asked what it WIS all about. When we told
him he said Give her bHshel Of Confeder-
ate bonds for her hens and see if that won't
stop her." Acting on this hint, proceeded to
business. We had captured a Confederate
train the day before with $i,005,010 OK Confed-
crate Iaoney and [ hunted up the train ut once.
The money WAS worth about two cents on the
dollar. Well stuffed about half a million
dollars into an old carpetsaek and marched into
the house.
Madam" said I, opening the sack, Z" III
give you $5G0,000 to quit this noise" 1t YVES
still as death IN minute, and then her face
expanded in a broad smile. ] laid the package
of notes ON the table, and l never saw so de-
lighted . woInaa.
