UNIoNTowN, Pa, Feb. 22.-The funeral
of the victims of the explosion at West
Lepenring took place this morning. A
special train ran to the shaft from Union
town and returned with the bodies and
friends. At 9 o'clock four cars were filled
with the relatives Of the dead, and the
scene was sad in the extreme. Three VIC
Tins were inferred here, six at Dunbar,
seven at Connellsville and two have been
sent to Washington, D. G. Large crowds
were at each place. There were no special
services among the miners. A revulsion
of sentiment has taken place in the last
"a hours, and the talk of the explosion
being negligence is now widespread. The
feeling is very bitter, and one miner has
retained an attorney to attend the inquest
tomorrow and exact the truth from the
witnesses concerning the condition OF the
shaft. The miners are willing to affirm
that the air was bad for a week back, and
that they could not work without COM
plete exhaustion. One miner, who worked
in a room right amidst the place charred
by the explosion, refused to go to work on
the morning of the disaster, because, he
says, no man could live in the place. A
committee of inquiry, representing the
afflicted families, has been organized to
gather information to present before the
Ooroner's inquest.
