WILKEsBARRR, Pa, July There are
80 men, living OF dead, reported imprison-
ed In the depths Of the doomed Twin
mine. This Is the official number, and
there Is no reason to think 1t is incorrect.
The company has completed a careful can

Saturday night, and the sum total of the
men lost in the disaster, English speaking
and foreigners, aggregate this figure The
relatives Of dve other Hungarians declare
that these men, too, are among the vio-
Tins, but this is disputed by the time
keeper, who says she HunRarians drew
their pay last week and went TO Pitts
burg to work In the soft GOAL mines. They
simply deserted their families, but their
wives will not believe 1t.
The situation 10 now more encouraging
than 1t has boen at any time since the
cave In. The rsscuers reported that they
have reached the edge Of tho fallen rock
and begun to load It In cars which are
hoisted to the head Of the slope by sta
tionary engine. The point whore the men
arc supposed 10 be is still 600 feet beyond.
The gas Is not so bad as it has been, and
there Is no sign Of the river water flowing
into the mine. One Of the miners said

1t is probably useless to sigh for the good
old style Of celebration, for the conduct of
affairs on this day as well as upon most
other days has been relegated TO the small
boy, and the average small boy is far from
being one Of the noblest works Of creation
on the Fourth Of July or on the fourth day
Of any other month in any other year. The
only consolation In the case is that as he
goes forward into manhood minus leg,
arm, hand or eye he may look back with
some degree Of regret at his own breezy
idiocy and discourage the hideous Mongo-
lian ceremony with which young Ameri-
cans express their gratitude over the re-
turn Of the glorious day.-Chicago Tri-

There are few gold men ON the deAsga-

are bound by the unit rule, and their votes
will be cast for free silver.
Speculation and estimates now center
about the question rs TO whether 1t will be
necessary, or even possible to repeal the
two-thirds rule. 1t Is on this proposition
that the preliminary fight between the
gold and silver delegations will probably
come With the best estimates OF strength
put forth by the free silver advocates, they
do not claim twO-thirds of the delegates

JAMES MARSH DEAD.
The Lessee of the P%enitentiary Passes
Away at His Home in Nebraska.

Word was received in Laramie this
forenoon of the death of James Marsh,
this morning, at his home in Blue
Springs. Neb. Mr.. Marsh has been in
failing health for a number of years
and his death was not unexpected. The
direct cause of his death was stomach
troubles. He was so years of age.
Mr.. Marsh became the lessee of the
Wyoming penitentiary in 1890, and for
somc time gave his personal attention
to the institution, but for the past three
years he has been here but very little,
the climate not agreeing with him. His
interests here during his absence have
been looked after by his children, Fred
and Fannie. who left OF the noon train
for their Nebraska home, where the in
terment will take place.
