fact is that they take such excellent
care of them, cleaning them several
times a day. For this purpose they
use short piece of wood, which be-

A SUGGESTION has been made that tc
every passenger train be attached a
cheap rear car holding freight for bal
last, so that if another train runs into
it, the loss will not be great To be
effective there would need to be two
such "calamity' cars, one at either
end, and even then passengers would
always be in danger of rough shak-
ing up. The better way would be tc
employ more careful men, and hold
careless ones to stricter account.

ST. LoUIs, Jan. ll.-A telegram re-
ceived from Superintendent Cameron,
of the Usage mine at Krebs, says that
all the bodies that have been found have
been removed from the mine. There
may be five or six more bodies under
the heavy mass of slate which was dis
lodged by the explosion. The superin-
tendent says he has six exploring
parties at work.
The death list will prove great deal
smaller than first reported. The list
now stands sixty-three dead and about
one hundred injured

sion was caused by George Lowery
exploding what is known as window
shot Fleming, the mining expert and
former superintendent of the mine,
but now general manager of the
Southwest Coal and improvement
Company, of Colgate. l. T., says
the men who fred the shot were to
blame for the disaster, for they should
not have fred until all the men were
out of the niue. They fired the shot
at 5:O7 when they should have waited
until $50. Had they done this there
would have been only four or five men
in the shaft and not more than four or
five deaths would have resulted from
the explosion.
The funerals of most of the victims
whose bodies have been recovered
were held Sunday. There were no re-
ligious services excepting in few cases.
