WERE BURIED IN TRENCHES
Final Scenes in the Terrible Tragedy at
Moscow.
THIRTY-SIX HUNDRED ARE DEAD
A Dispatch to the London Standard De-
clares That Number Were Killed and
Twelve Hundred Injured, the
Majority of Them Fatally

Moscow, June 2.-There were 1,277 vic.
tins of Saturdays catastrophe buried yes
terday. The bodies of those who were
identified and claimed by relatives were
inferred in private graves, but at the ex-
pense of the municipality The great mum.
Der of the unidentified dead were buried in
eleven great trenches, each fifty yards
long. The trenches were deep, and the
mutilated bodies had to be placed close to-
gether to find room for them all There
were 800 workmen engaged all night long
at the Vaganovskoe cemetery digging the
trenches.
Many priests, prominent among them
being John Of Cronstadt, famous for his
piety and his power to console, and, it is
believed by the peasants, to heal and
many military chaplains conducted the
funeral services, the friends crowding
around the graves. The surviving friends
and relatives are for the most part of the
Ignorant and simple minded peasant class
and their grief and terror at the sudden
calamity are expressed in very demonstra-
tive fashion. The scenes at the cemetery
were pitiful and terrible in the extreme.
Only about half the bodies recovered
have been identified, and the majority of
these are men, though there are many
children and several old people.
Most Of the private graves of the vic
tins have been marked with wooden
crosses, placed there by relatives, and in
scribed with texts Of scripture. The peo-
pie also strewed twigs am )ng the graves.
The clothes of the victims were heaped
in huge pile in one corner of the ceme-
terry, and in this the people rummaged all
day long, seeking the slightest trace that
would afford clew to the fate of those
missing. The bel"aggle1, torn, blood
stained heap of confu ed tatters, thrown
all together, afforded little material for
Identification, even if it had been systemat-
ically sorted out and the appearance Of the
pieces preserved But after being pulled
over a few times by the crowd of search
ers there was no semblance to the original
appearance of the garments left.
The survivors have the vaguest possible
idea of what happened to them or how
they escaped. They only remember a ter
rible struggle in the vortex of conflicting
human muscular energy, Many of them
ascribe their escape 20 a direct miracle. 1t
is touching to witness how these poor. ig-
norant people help to console each other,
to dress the dead and to care for the chill
dren.
Last evening the car gave a banquet to
the representatives Of all the estates in his
realm. The foreign repre- ,entatives were
also present. In the afternoon the car
and czarina visited the Marie hospital,
where they spoke to and couSoled the pa
tients injured in Saturdays crush.

The Fundamental Note.

Many metropolitan papers, theoriz-
ing and moralizing on the Fort Thomas
murder, ascribe the possibility of such
crime to the prevailing lack of con-
fidence between parent and child.
Brother Rusk, of the McConnelsyille
Herald, delivers himself of some strong
language on the subject. He says
I'VE do not think that either or any
of these papers have sounded the
fundamental note. What they have
sounded is simply an overtone. a har-
monic, and we'll enough in its way.
The fundamental note is, that the lib
ertine is abroad in the land, that he is
invited into the homes of purity, that
he is regarded as essential to all kinds
of fetes from the little heavenly gath
ering of families and friends on the
lawns, all the way up the gamut to the
social work of the church. The do
mestic circle ostraciaes the drunkard;
so does the social set: ditto the church,
but they all court the libertne-that
is, if he is in any way provided with
desirable or attractive possessions, and
it is mawkish, sickening nonsense to
talk Of increased confidence between
daughters and parents, as being an alb
solute protection.
II hell has any legitimate progeny in
this world, it is the libertine, and the
awful lesson of Pearl Bryan's death, is
simply this, that so long as ''papas'
and 'mammas," and society and the
church, are obsequious to them, asso-
ciate with them, so long are they in
viting these spawn of hell to breed
corruption in the pure minds of their
children. and that long will shame,
sorrow, and tragedies visit the one
place on earth which should be nearer
heaven than any other-the home"

IN the OIL FIELDS.

SIsTERsvILLE, February 11.-lt is al
most impossible to get any oil news in
this field. The roads are in such an
execrable condition that none of the
operators will attempt to either go out
with the field or come in when they
are out. There is not the usual amount
of work being done for the reason that
it is impossible to get machinery out to
drill the wells. Seq"
Shay & McMullen are building the
rig for their No. on the Smith. and
Furbee farm out on Indian Creek, and
will have it completed in couple of
days. They will commence drilling as
soon as the necessary machinery can
be gotten on the ground.
The Victor Oil Company have the rig
timbers on the ground and will COM
mence work in couple of days on
rig for well on the farm of John
Booher.
Shay & McMullen are building q rig
on the jackson Weekly farm, and will
have it completed about Wednesday.
The Kyle we'll made rs barrels an
hour all day Sunday and was holding
up to that amount last night.
The Hardly Able Oil Company have
the rig completed and are ready to
commence drilling at their well on the
A. Ash farm.
Shay g. McMullen have fishing job
at their we'll on the Dan Weekly farm.
The Victor has commenced drilling
at their No on the Kyle farm.
The well on the C. NJ. Furbee farm
will be drilled deeper today and it is
expected to show up better.
The Victor Oil Company put the cas-
ing in their No. l on the Thomas Smith
farm yesterday afternoon.
the same company have bad fish
ing job at their No. on the Lloyd
Weekly farm, and it may be that they
will be compelled to move the rig
Two new wells have been located
within the past few days on the south
side of the Kanawha about eight miles
from town, and near the Butcher farm,
by Pennsylvania company They are
the same company which put down the
we'll at the mouth of Hughes river last
summer which came in dry, The
wells are to thoroughly test the terri
tory and will be put down to the deep
sand.-Journal.
