Michael D. Harter, the new Demo-
cratic Congressman from the Mansfield
district, and representative man in
his party, is accredited with saying:

There were still five bodies there to-

The opinion prevails tonight that
less than half the bodies have so far
been recovered from the wreck and it Is
thought that altogether not less than
fifty persons were killed in the disaster.
There is no doubt but that large
number OF the persons now reported
missing will be found in an unrecog-

brick and mortar.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Aug. 2S.-A band OF
armed negroes entered the grocery store
Of Henry Joel, four miles east Of Mem
phis, as he was about to close last night,
and after robbing him Of all the money
he had, $50, told him to open the safe,
at the same time holding pistols to his
head. Joel tried to open 1t, but in his
excitement could not remember the
combination. The negroes cursed and
threatened him, but the safe door re-
fused TO yield. This enraged the rob-
bers, and they shot Joel twice. The
first shot passed through the left arm,
entered his side and lodged in his back.
Another shot was fired and the ball
entered Joel's left side, making wound
which the doctors pronounce fatal.
There is no clue to tho perpetrators OF
the deed.

quence Gas Collected and the Open
Lamp of the Miner Isnlted It.
Special Dfspdtch to the Inttlli0enocr.
FAnMoxT, W. Va, Aug. 23.-There
was a frightful explosion of gas in the
West Fairmont shaft this morning
about 10 o'clock, by which George
Bayles, a boy about fourteen years old
wrs instantly killed and Alex Robinson
was terribly burned about his face,
head and arms.
Robinson succeeded in finding his
way out, but the body Of the boy was
not recovered until about three o'clock
this afternoon, horribly burned.
DR.. Roger, county coroner, empanelled
n Jury and examined the employees OF
the mine and others. The evidence
showed that the fan which supplied'the
mine with air has always stopped about
6 o'clock on Saturday evening unless
some Of the men were in the minc. No
one being in the mine, the fan was not
being used to-day.
Mr.. Robinson, in his evidence, says
that he worked in the shaft few weeks
ago, but that his room was very wet,
and as he has rheumatism, he quit and
went to the Belchwood mines. This last
week Mr.. Evans, the pit boss, said he
could have dry room, but he would
have to open it, which was satisfactory,
and he promised to go to work to-mor-
row (Monday).
danger he and the boy, who knew
where his room was to be, went in with
an open light and from some cause,
while they were examining the roof Of
the room, the explosion occurred. The
Jury found that there could be no fault
attached to the owners, operators or
employees Of the West Fairmont shaft

about twenty young japanese girls. none

in their hands for shame at the paucity of
their clothing. The girls had just arrived
here from Japan, whence they had been en-

Of easy aud remuneraive employment. They
were auctioued off at price, varying from
$40 up 10 $500 apiece. Such sales occur
every month or two, but nothing Is done to
prevent them.' se
