LYNoHBURa, Va, April 12.-After every.
thing had been got in readiness ct the
Pocahontas mine, yesterday evening, the
police force placed q guard at the main
entrance to the mine in order to keep back
the crowd which had been attracted by
the notice posted that the bodies might be
claimed. The mining engineer in charge
of the rescuing party entered the mine to
note the situation of affairs. When they
emerged from the mines they announced
the damage less than had been supposed
aud little trouble was experienced in re-
covering the bodies of the victims. Two
bodies, reclaimed yesterday, were horribly
mutilated, those of Boon Maxey, a white
boy, and Jim Grim, a negro. The worl
was resumed this morning. A still larger
crowd congregated at the entrance and
ropes were stretched to prevent a too neal
approach. The crowd, however, observed
proper decorum and no undue excitement
A spirit OF great solemnity seemed to per.
wade the ~assemblage. The bodies, as re-
covered, are placed in boxes on the insids
of the mine and several a been brought
out together on q pole car. A number OF
miners who are well acquainted with the
victims are placed at the entrance for the
purpose of identifying the bodies; but Of
Is recovered so far only six have been
identified. These are Jim Grim, recog-

Maxwell, by his boots; George
Maxwell, by being found with his brother;
William Slusher, by patch on his boots;
young Jewell, by his hair and the location
of his body; A. German, recognized by
his wife. Many bodies were horribly
mangled. Some had their heads blown
the sockets; still others with entrails torn
out entirely. An arm and a leg were found
in the main entrance, but the body to
which they belonged has not been found
A thrill OF horror passed through the
crowd as the rescuing party brought out
the charred and disfigured remains. A
miner with his dinner bucket clasped in

hurled him into eternity. Several miners
were found with picks in their hands, and

New YORK, April 12.-The World O
Sunday will publish replies from Gov
Hoadly Of Ohio and Gov. Jackson Of Yves
Virginia to inquiries concerning the issues
for the next Presidential campaign. Gov
Hoadly says:
"The issues upon which the Presidents
campaign ought to be conducted are neces
sity for reform of the abuses engenderei
by lo~pg-continued Republican m~ismanage
ment, for economy in public expenditure
and for the restoration of the Constitution
of the United States to its rightfu
supremacy. Absolute free trade is a
present an impossibility. Any tariff
necessarily affords incidental protection tt
the domestic manufacturer Of the articles
1t embraces, but protection should be in
cidental rather than the object. A tariff
levied only for public uses means a tariff
exclusively on articles which are not pro
duced in the United States, such as tea ant
coffee. l favor a tariff for revenue dis
eliminating 30 as to encourage labor and
as far as possible, 30 constructed in intelli
gent details as to give relief to oppressed
commerce and restore the American fat
to the seas, but not to shock or rudely dis

| platform on which we carried Ohio las
Fall, and with Tilden or Payne as our can
didate we can do it again this year."
Gov. Jackson says: II am not in fayol
