THE BODIES FOUND.
The search at Colorado Crowned with
Success

Special to EVENING HERALD,
LOST CREEK, June IA, 3 p. m.-The eX-
ploring party has just recovered the
bodies of August Loped and Sober
Pranzey, the two Polish miners who have
been in the Colorado mine since the fire
started there on the morning Of the first
of May, last
The bodies were found stretched out at
the extreme west end of the counter chute
gangway, or around "the horn as the
miners called the place The point was
the farthest the men could get from the
fire and that the unfortunates had some
knowledge of mining affairs and fully re
allied their situation is evidenced by the
finding of battery which they erected TO
protect themselves against the fire and
gases.
1t is evident that the victims did not
survive long The bodies are very much
decomposed The deaths were caused by
the gases and the flames did not reach
the bodies.
The miners have just taken the bodies
out and are preparing them for
removal to the respective places of earthly
abode. An inquest will be held tonight.

BRIGHTER Prospects.

A prominent Coal and Iron official
vouchsafed the information to-day that
the miners in this section would be given
full time for the next six weeks at the
least. To know that they will receive
steady employment during the summer
will cause the men much rejoicing, as
well as our business people, who have felt
the suspension to great extent. The ap.
parent reason for the bright outlook of
the coal trade is the fact that the recent
floods caused a number of collieries to re-
main idle, thus curtAiling the output
materially. 1t will take some time to
catch ap and besides a large number of
orders have been received and are still
coming in. 1t is said there are sufficient
orders on hand at present to keep the
collieries working steady until the end of
the month. There are at present ten
Reading collieries idle because of high
water.

MANASSAS BATTLEFIELD VISITED.

Delightful Christmas at Clifton

UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA, Decem-
Der 29.-Although the students OF the
South delight to stroll along the colon

University OF Virginia. yet when the
Yuletide draws near every train Is filled
with the "old-gold and navy-blue" run
ming off for a few days TO gather with
friends beneath the mistletOe and holly
around the old Virginia board. The writer
took an early morning train and ran up
TO Clifton Just north Of Manassas. There
he was met with a team. and in short
while was at the home OF Mrs. b. j.
Holden, near the battle-felds where the
chivalry OF the South and the pride OF
the North had poured out their blood to-
gether as their ancestors had done on
English soil in the days OF Cromwell
and Charles /. in the long ago.
Cousins and friends had gathered be-

welcome that was given TO each seemed

THE SCENE OF THE FIGHT.
The youns people walked down TO
Bull Run TO see where the fight OF July,
Is. 1861, had taken place. AS they looked
upon the bluffs on either side and saw
their rocky and wooded slopes they
thought of the murderous fire that the
Boys Ia Gray had poured into the Boys
In Blue as the latter attempted 10 cross
the stream. Then they thought OF the
homes that had been made sad. and OF
the New England Ruth and the Virginia
Mary who never saw theT gallant John
and noble Charles again. There were the
remains of the abutments of a bridge that
had been built about that time, and the
logs that formed the roadway OF the
bridge are now In the walls OF Mrs. Hol-
denis kitchen. That point Is four miles
north OF the town Of Manassas Mr. Fred.
Henshaw says ti1at he has found two
steel breastplates and large numbers OF
mimic balls upon the Holden farm. After

whose home was near Centrevflle during

that morning he asked her sister whether
he must send her a silk dress or lock of

she would let him know when he got
there. After the battle Colonel Pintt
