THE NINE DISASTER.
Funeral OF the Victims-A Sad and Affect
ing Scene.

Ing Scene.
UNIoNTowN, Pa, Feb. 22.-The funeral of
the victims of the West Lcisenring mine ex-
plosion took place this morning. A special
train ran out to the shaft from Uniontown
and returned with tho bodies. Four cars
were filled with relatives of the dead, and the
scene was sad in the extreme Three Of the
victims we're inferred here, six at Dunbar,
seven at Connellvile, and two have been sent
TO Washington, ID. c. Large crowds were
present at each place. No special services
were held. Among the miners a revulsion of
sentiment has taken place during
tho last twenty-four hours, and the talk
of the explosion being caused by negligence
is now widespread. The feeling is very
bitter. One miner has retained an attorney
to attend the inquest tomorrow and exact
the truth from witnesses concerning the con-
dtion Of the shaft. score of miners are
willing to affirm that the air was bad for q
week past and that they could not work
without complete exhaustion. One big miner
named Duffy, who worked in room q, right
amid place charred by the explosion, re-
fused TO work on tho morning of the disaster,
because he said no man could live in the
place.
4 committee of inquiry representing the
afflicted families has been organized to gather
information and present IL TO the Coroners S
inquest. A young man named Dugan, whe
had several relatives killed by tho explosion,
claims TO have discovered evidence to the
effect that tho accident was chiefly caused by
the boarding up of the air shaft at night by
the carpenters who were making repairs. The
shaft was closed to prevent people from fall
ing intoit, and the gas which accumulated at
night was more than could be driven out in
day. Meanwhile the company is sparing
no expense to bury the dead and relieve the
suffering Of the afflicted.
