Bodies Of Entombed Minors Shock
ingly Mangled.
1t is now stated that all OF the en-.
tombed miners, near Wilkesbarre, Pa,
twenty five in all, are dead. At Z
o'clock on the morning OF the 10th
inst. the rescuing party discovered one
OF the Hungarian brothers named
Russ in an abandoned working. He
was still alive and said that he
thought the other men were all sale IL
one of the breasts. This gave rise to
the rumor that all the men were sale.
Russ died on being brought to the sur
lace. All the men, with the exception
OF those rescued the evening before, it
Is now said, were killed by the explo.
sion which occurred two hours after
the cave-in took place. The bodies OF
the victims taken out are horribly
mangled, in some instances heads hav-
ing been blown entirely of.
HEARTRENDINa SCENES.
Tho work OF attempting to rescue
the imprisoned miners at Ashley was
interrupted by heavy rush ot gas on

ed work upon the cave beyond wheIe
the men were iounu the night before.
They soon broke through and rushed
into the chamber beyond, where, in
the semi-darkness, the men stumbled
over several bodies. A close search
revealed six bIacksned corpses near
the opening, none OF them recogniza
BILE. Further along at various places
were found thirteen other bodies, all
mere or less burned, but most of them
could not be recognized. The sight
vas so horrible that some OF the res
cuers tainted away. When the news
OF the finding OF the bodies became
noised about q scene ensued around
the mouth OF the slope which will new
er be forgotten by those who witness
ed it. A strong guard OF men held
back the women, who pressed forward
madly to enter the mine, Half an
hour later four men came up bearing
q stretcher and the women tore away
the blanket, but saw only blackened
and charred remains. Other bodies
were brought out as fast as possible,
and at noon all but FIVE OF those who
were In the mine when the cave in oc-
Cured had been found. These bodies
were conveyed in ambulances to un-
dertaking rooms and prepared Tor

CHRISTMAS IS Nor ia. OFF.
The Season When Happiness Apounds

The Season When Happiness Abounds.
About this time Of year, old minds aud
middle aged minds, and young minds, and
still younger minds and hearts, incline TO
that brief period. in which happiness and
good feeling is supposed to pervade the en-
tire world, excluding, perhaps, SANKEY'S
recently Dissolved dark continent, whose ma
tives probably do not know Christmas
from the Fourth of July.
1t is good for man that this little gap in
his wild search for money intervenes to re-
mind him that there Is sonnet hing else in
life besides money getting, in fact that there
rs greater pleasure in spending it. Pur-
veying to the tender sentiment
that prevails during the holiday
season Messrs NJ. Sternberg & Bro, the
leading Jewelry, Diamond aud Art Dealers
at 157 Broughtoh, have gathered from the
four quarters of the earth an undescri baby
superb line of Christmas presents, gems in
gold aud silver and fine wares. creations of
skilled genius and fairy-like conceptions Of
brains that are always alert for novelty
originality and worth. The gold and silver
smith has excefled his past cunning. The
German potteries have from dreams evolved
the most delicate fancies in mold and
decoration, and therefore at Sternberg Is
holiday buyers will find an avalanche of
holiday goods at prices far bslow any here

presents are also to be had in profuse variety,
and the taste or fancy that Siernberg's

TWO COMETS IN THE SKY.

a Couple of Newly Discovered Cele5-
tial Wonderers.
There appears to be two comets in the sky
now. Both are in the same field of view
of the telescope.
The first comet was discovered by Zona,
at Palermo, on Nov. Is, and is described as
bright. Thirty hours afterward another
one was found by Spitaler, pro badly DIR. r.
Spitaler, one of the assistants at the i'm
perial observatory of Vienna, and is de-
scribed as faint. The second comet appears
to be only about q distant from the first
one, and to guard against the superstition
that it was the same the despatch stated
mot Zona.n
Both comets are moving in the same
direction among the stars-toward the
northwest. 1t would, therefore, seem that
the fainter comet Is a companion, or off
shoot, Of the brighter one. and it is proba-
BILE that DR.. Spitaler, while examining the
brighter one, possibly with the large
twenty-seven-inch reflector of the Vienna
obserg atory, discovered the second, or faint
one.
The chances against two comets, indie
pendent OF one another, being discovered
by two different observers il the same field
Of view are enormous. Several instances
are known where a bright comet has been
found accompanied by one or even more
fainter ones, but usually this has happened
after the comet has been under observation
for some time. Whether these comets have
passed perihelion cannot be known until
their orbits have been computed, but in q
few days it is probable tuat enough observa-
tions will have been secured TO compute
their orbits, and then their future path and
career will be known.
Both comets are now in the constell atior
! Auriga, and are moving toward the con
stelation Perseus. They are almost di.
rectly overhead about 80 O'Clock q. M,
| but, Of course, neither are of any popular
interest as yet. although the astronomer
will await further development with some
! attention.

HIS THIGH FRACTURED.
a Little Colored Boy Probably Fatally
Injured.

a Little Colored Boy Probably Fatally
Injured.
A probably fatal accident occurred yes
terday morning about 10 o'clock on Farm
street, near Indian.
Sam Trent, a colored boy about s years
of age, was in sulky with his
father, who was pre- pairing for a
drive in the country. The horse started
of with sudden jerk, throwing the
boy out of the vehicle In falling
his right leg passed between the spokes of
the wheel, and before the father could stop
the horse the wheel turned it around tract
uring the boys thigh aud terribly lacerating
the leg, from which the blood flowed in
streams.
The little fellow was picked up and car
ried to his home, No. 81 Farm street, where
he was attended by Drs Dunn and Keller
The physicians placed the sufferer under
chloroform and dressed the wounds. The
fractured limo was set, but as the boy is Of
very delicate constitution and lost such an
amount Of blood, the physicians have very
slight hopes of his recovery. His condition
was quite critical last night.
