Eleven Dead Bodies Recovered.

WHEELING, W. Va, January A.-Since
yesterday eleven more bodies have been
recovered from the Newburg mines. The
bodies were found in various positions,
some with arms extended as if about to
pursue their usual work, others with arms
and limbs contracted as if in awful agony
All were terribly burned and blackened,
and their distorted features told of their
terrible sufferings, but none were SO mu-
tilated as the three that were recovered yes-
terday. One man was found face down
with his head on his arm as if he hal es-
capped the violence of the explosion, and as
sumed that position in hope of finding suf-
ficient air to prolong life until rescued,
but this theory is contradicted by practical
miners, who think the men were all killed
by the explosion.
