seeing what disposition will be made OF
the bodies. Saturday men will dig the
graves and Sunday there will be a tre-
mendous funeral. All day long the lit
tie telegraph Office was besieged with
sorrowing people, sending messages to
relatives living in other parts OF the
country, notifying them OF the grief
which had go suddenly befallen them.
The postmaster, finding letters for the
dead in the Office, would enquire who
was entitled to the care OF this or that
man g mail. The dead seemingly out
numbered the living.
ORIGIN OF THE FIRE.
The origin of the fire in breast 62 is
supposed to be due to spontaneous COM
bus.ion, caused by refuse in the bottom
OF the breast elacking and catching fire.
The mine never was in safer condition,
however, aud it seems q mystery that
the fire could have burst out and gained
such hesdway all at once. 1t is sug-
gested that possibly the FIRE had been
burning for some time, perhaps two or
three dave, and, from a smouldering
blaze. it all at onoe became burning
furnace. Breast 81 is shout 800 feet
high, and is now all on fire. The fire
has also communicated to breasts 60 and
6l of the same level and the fifth level
is threatened.
sMOTHERING THE FLAMES,
Superintendent Ramsey says that he
will bulkhead the sixth level and per.
haps the fifth level and Theoretically
seal them, thus shutting off the air and
smothsring the fire. The mine is
troubled q good deal with black damp,
but with the air supply shut off the
black damp will form and of itself put
out the fire. 1t is believed that in the
mean time the fire will be completely
extinguished. Men are still at work ON
the sixth level north, bulkheading the
fire district. and though the fan is kept
at work to give the men air, the fire is
aided just that much more for the time
being. With the sixth level closed
about 1900 feet OF gangway will be rem.
dered useless. These breasts formerly
gave employment to 70 men.

CHICAGO. Aug. 24.-The great match
race between the PAGERS Robert j. and
Joe Patchen had its disappointments
along with its merits. In the first place
1t was one-sided, Robert j. winning
easily in straight heats. In the second
place. the worlds record for the three
fastest heats in pace WAS not broken,
the average being 2:06. The first heat
worked the crowd up to the highest
pitch of enthusiasm, and when 2 :06 Was
recorded, with neither horss apparently
exerted to tis best, the question natur-
ally arose, "What nextw The next
heat started off at q clip that threatened
to be q record breaker, and when the
time was hung out l :02 for the
first half the crowd could scarce-
~ contain themselves, so cure
were they that the high mark
Of 2:04 which has stood so long would
be beaten in race, but it wss not to be.
Joe Patchen was not equal to the task.
So far behind was he that Geers slowed
up down the stretch and finished in
jog, the time 2:61a. Had he urged the
Buffalo gelding out there is no telling
what would have happened. But the
first heat had "done Joe Patchen." For
the first time in his career he was
5efeated horHe.
The other races were won in straight
heats. the feature being the downfall of
the faverites.
Tomorrow Alix will 60 against the
worlds record OF 2:04. and as the track

The Wires Were cut-An Episode in
 Bridgeport Yesterday.

Bridgeport Yesterday.
 Bridgeport, Dec. io.-Another epi- sode fin the conflict between the New York, New Haven and Hartford rail- road and the Traction company oc- cured this morning.
 The Traction company had cars run ming over their Fairfield and Southport branch yesterday afternoon and no opposition from the steam road ap- peared. At the Fairf,eld avenue over head crossing the electric roads troll ley wire was suspended from the via duct of the steam road.
 This morning about { o'clock gang of men employed by the steam road cut the trolley wires and then left. The police were notified, but arrived too late to apprehend any of the gang.
 The work of repairing the damage was immediately commenced. poles be- ing set for the wires, so that they were hung independent of the steam roads structure. The electric cars were de- layed four hours, but are now running all right.
 W. D. Bishop of the Consolidated road, when asked the cause for the companys action, said he did not know 1t, but presumed 1t was because the Consolidated is about to change the via duct from a wooden to an iron struct- ure and did not wish to endanger the lives of their men by compelling them to work among live wires
 President Heft of the Traction com pany went to New Haven to-day and had & conference with President Clark of the Consolidated road. An agree ment was perfected by which the Trac- tion company may string their wires to the bridge in manner specified by the Consolidated.
