say that all the bodies have been re.
overed--twenty-thre in number. MOI
one of them who were actually in the
mine at the time escaped, these only
escaping who were at the entrance, and
some OF those were badly injured. The

gloom over the community, though work
Is going on as usual In other portions of
the mines. The output Of coal will not
be affected by the closing of this mine.

Cholera Panic In MarseiiIes.
MARsEILLEs, July 3.-Three deaths
from cholera have been reported since
last night. At least 5000 inhabitants
