init that two or more bodies are still In

cially verified today by the pit boss,
Thomas Jones, who made statement to
that effect.
Work at the Braznell mine is progress

from Brownsville to the mine are almost
impassable There is no telegraph or
telephone communication with Braznell.

brought overland. Four more bodies
have been recovered but not identified.
Some Of the families of the doomed men
are in a suffering condition, and provi-
sions are being sent out by Brownsville
merchants as well as from uniontown.
The scenes about the morgue yesterday
and last night were sucn as to bring
tears to the eyes of many. As the burn

the shaft, wives and children would ilgtt

when held back by strong arms would
weep pitifully and plead to be allowed to
