Removed ITO Bodies.
LONDON, Feb. S.-Work of recovering
the dead in the Abersychan mine
is being carried on as rapidly
as possible. The successful res
toration of the ventilation of the pit has
resulted in simplifying the work Of sew
eral parties. Many affecting scenes are
constantly witnessed, among them, the
discovery of the grouped bodies of a
father and five SONS. Suffocation had
caused their death, and, as they lay un-
distigured by the flames, they appeared
to be peacefully slumbering. AS a result
of the handling of the burned bodies sew
eral of the workers have been made i'll,
and have been compelled to return to
the mouth of the mine. The number of
bodies now recovered is ITO, and it is esti-
mated that twenty more remain. A vast
amount of labor is required to clear away
the debris and recover the bodies that
remain.

PIERRE, S. D., Feb. 1.-THE news that
the president had issued his proclama-
ton opening the Sioux reservation was
received with the widest kind of ex-
element, and ever since the town has
been perfect pandemonium of excite
ment. Immediately after the news
reached here there was grand stampede
and rush for the reservation lands by
the bands of boomers and settlers who
have been patiently waiting for the
opening. The military authorities saw
them approaching, and Immediately a
solid column was formed along the bank
of the river AS the boomers approached
they were told to halt, but instead of do
ing so the column was swung around,
and the two columns then stood horizon
tai and faced each other. Col: Tassen,
in command of the soldiers, then came
forward and parleyed with the boomers
and told them that they would not be
allowed to cross the river until further
orders were received from the interior
department. At first the boomers in
sisted that they would cross anyhow.
but were finally compelled to cross back
to the city. At East Pierre several per,
sons succeeded in getting across, but the
regulars were soon in pursuit and many
of them were arrested and put in the
guard house.

children Of Jacob b. Slator were skating
on the lake at Binnewater, about six
miles from here, when the ice, which
was but few inches in thickness, gave
way and the little ones were precipitated
iIto the water. Their shouts were heard
by the members of the family, who lived
var by, and the father and mother
rushed to the rescue. By the time they
had reached the lake the four children
had disappeared beneath the ice. The
mother, frantic with the thought of her
drowning children, rushed upon the ice,
which gave way with her weight, and
she sank below the surface. Mr.. Slater
then attempted to reach his wife and he,
too, was drowned. The entire family is
wiped out of existence. Hundreds of
people are gathered about the lake
searching for the bodies.
