FINDING THE DEAD.
The Awful COIliery Explosion In,
wa1eA.

LONDON February 7.-The work of re-.
moving the bodies of the miners who
lost their lives by the explosion in the
colliery at Abersychan yesterday is being
carried on as rapidly as possible. Al
ready one hundred bodies have been
taken from the pit, and it is believed that
about thirty more yet remain there.
The ventilation of the pit has been re-
stored and this greatly facilitates the
efforts of the workers. A very pathetic
incident in the work OF the rescue was the
finding of the bodies OF father and his
five sons lying in a group. They had not
been burned at all, and they appeared to
he calmly sleeping; all OF them d.died
from suifocation. Several of the men
who had volunteered for the work of
the rescue were made sick bv handling
the burned bodies. and were obliged to
come to the surface.
4 dispatch just received in this city
states that one hundred and iiity.fvc
bodies have been taken from the pit at
Abersychan.
The list Of those who lost their lives by
the explosion in the coliery at Abcr-
sychan is constantly increasing. One
hundred and seventy bodies have thus
FAR been taken from the pit. and it is be-
lieved that the total number of persons
killed will reach 100.

An Attempt to Initiate Louis Ma.
pOleOn frustrated.

PARIS, February by prompt action
the government to-day nipped in the bud
what was apparently intended to be
Il royalist coup a. ctat modelled on
Louis Napolcon's mode of descent upon
Boulogne, and the only consequence is
that the Duke of Orleans, the eldest son
of the Count OF Paris, is tonight in Gus
tody. The duke arrived in Paris to-day
hearing n letter written and signed by
Count de Paris announcing to the faith
tul and to all Others the counts abdica
ton. He had also with him n manifesto
addressed to the people of France. Nomi
nallv. and according to the theory OF
pretcnders, Il prctender is always king
and therefore the Count of Paris abdi
Gates a throne he never possessed. He
consequently abdicatcs his claims as pre-
tender, and in virtue of this abdication
all his claims, rights and titles descend
to his eldest son, the young gentleman
now in the hands of the authorities
PHILIPPE Louis Robert, Duke d Orleans
This gentleman is therefore not merely
one OF the many vagrant princes but the
actual pretender to the throne in virtue
of his claims as the heir of Louis PHILIPPE,
and also as heir of the Old Bourbon line.
His coming into the country in viola
tion of the law banishing all heads and
direct heirs Of the reigning families, is a
rash escapade il it stands alone.
