FATE OF THE MINERS.

The Long Search Iinded--The Ashes Of
the Thirty-Oae Miners VIII Hspose in
the Farm IIll Mine Urta the End of
Time.
At o'clock p. M, Tuesday, hope and
work were abandoned at the mine, and
the dust or ashes of the thirty impcis-
Oned men may rest behind the Dunbar
hill till the last day shall come. The
last exploring party entered the mines
at o'clock. They did not come ont un-
Til I o'clock. Three of their number en-
tered to within few hundred feet of
the subterranean fire and had found the
dinner buckets ard -LlouseS Of two of
the men. The eXplorers suffered from the
intense heat and black damp, and scarce
ly escaped with their lives. 1t was
trip to the very gates of the most realis-
tic and practical hell that could be found
on this earth. The explorers visited
nine places where the men wcrc known
TO have been at work. Their picks and
shovels were found lying where they had
been dropped. One mule was found dead
and purified. Otherwise no trace OF tho
men could be found. The explorers then
voted to abandon tie work OF recovery.
Superintendent IIill, after this, told tho
men the company would, on Thursday,
pay them tho wages due, and advised
them to go to work wherever they could
secure it. With this the greatest res
cuing attempt in Western Pennsylvania
was ended. The company will, it is
said, now attempt to save as much of
the mine property as they can. Tho
mine is sadly wrecked and its restora-
ton will be a gigantic task. A car
load Of collins arrived Tuesday morn
ing. Tho question now is: "Whon
will they be used?" Fifteen and
half days have elapsed since that
flash Of gas set FIRE to the Hill Farm
Mine. The casl1cts which were so care
fully and secretly carried up to the mine
wero as quietly brought back. So were
the stretchors and blankets and medi-
cines brought to the grounds by the
physicians. Three of the party re-
turned to within few hundred yards OF
burning subterranean fire and satisfied
themselves that the men were dead, am

While prosecuting their search still
further they ran into a dense cloud of
black damp, which put ont their lights.
A struggle for life then followed, but
they succeeded in getting back 10 the
rest Of the party. After sad consulta-
tion it was decided to abandon the
search, and tho party left the pit to tell
the friends and relatives of the en-
tombed men that tho search could not
be prosecuted further.

surplus to the parents or other parties

from deriving any profit from the death
