The force of the explosion Sc
blocked the air-course that no one
will venture in the main heading to
ascertain the fate of the imprisoned
men until an air passage can be es-
tablished. This work is being push
ed vigorously. Up to midnight nc
bodies had been recovered.
1t is supposed that 81 men arc
imprisoned. The prevailing opinion
is that all are dead, though few ex-
press the hope that some of them
may have escaped the effect of the
explosion and have been able to
reach place free from the fatal
black damp, which always follows
an explosion of this kind.

correct and full list of the men in
the mine:

The scene at the shaft is heart
rending, Fathers, mothers, wives
and children, linger in groups with
pallid faces anxiously awaiting It'd
ings from their loved ones, which
will either bring hope or end sus-
pense. Every effort is being made
to reach the unfortunate miners, but
it is thought that there are no pros
poets of reaching them tonight.
Later dispatches reveal the horri-
bic fact that there were 80 miners
and probably two strangers in the
pit, making CHASTITY total of Al,
and that not one of them escaped
the deadly effects of the explosion.
On Saturday three charred and
blackened bodies were brought up
and on Sunday 10 more. A telegram
to the Intelligencer dated Jan.
oath, says
Work in the shaft was kept up all
night by reliefs. The men reached
the upper end of the air heading and
are returning on the parallel way.
AS the deep, dark, recesses of the
mine yield up to the stricken famil-
les the scorched and BRUSHED bodies
of the unfortunates who were killed
in the terrible explosion of last
Thursday, the grief that for four
days has enveloped this place is felt
more keenly, and tender hearts,
though often covered by rough ex-
teriors, go out in sympathy to the
sorrowing nes.whom death so sud
denly deprived of friends so near
and dear to them. The number of
on-lookers at the shaft
has not been decreased They stand
there solemn and silent, patiently
waiting the result of the work far
down below them
SIXTEEN BODIES RECOVERED.
Since yesterday thirteen more bod
les have been found in the bottom
of the pit About 10 o'clock this
morning the order, Hoist away
steady" was given, the great wheels
began to revolye, and slowly from
the depths of the shaft rose the cage,
bearing the fourth body that had so
far been found. At intervals during
the day others were brought up.
