o'clock. The manager stated that by 8 or S:30 a. m. there would have been
 twice as many men in the mine. The population of this mining village is only five hundred. All are miners, and the calamity will reach almost every little home in the mining town. None of the people here have been at their homes during the day, but they have remained around the mine. Some have not eaten during the day. Food was literally sup piled to the relays of Workmen in the rescuing party but many of the wo- men who could get no word of comfort refused to eat or to go to their homes.
 At late hour tonight the most relia- ble estimate obtainable puts the num- Der of the victims at 125, The capacity of the mine is 175, but there have only been 130 on the payrolls so far this month and it is stated that nearly all of them were in the mine at the time of the explosion. The manager, superln- tendent, bosses, booFkeepers and others are very busy with the force of reseu- CTS, but at the same time they are all very reticent as to the extent of the casualties and any other information regarding the disaster So far as could be learned there are thirty-seven dead bodies in the village tonight that have been taken from the mine during the day and there are also parts of human bodies at different places. These bodies as a rule are so mangled as to be be- yond recognition. The following are the only names of the dead that are ob- tainable late tonight:

Washington, March 6.--An interesting scene occurred at the Riggs National
 bank to-day when the fund raised by a grateful people in recognition of the ser vices of the late Major General Lawton was formally transferred to his widow. The parties to the transaction were Mrs. Mary c, Lawton, Adjutant General Cor bin, Acting Commissary General Wes- ton and c. c. Glover, the last named representing the bank.

 1 The scenes around the homes where | the dead bodies are, lying have drawn some of the immense crowd away from the workmeh at the entrance of the
 mine. Those working on the rescue re- lays say that the scene becomes more terrible as they get farther into the
 mine. The men become almost faint
 of heart when they strike a place filled with dead bodies.
 Most of the dead bodies that cannot
 be identified or recognized have been placed in the large blacksmith shop of the Red Ash Coal company and that place presents tho appearance or horrible morgue. Although the bodies are mangled beyond recognition, yet they are surrounded by those who are in distress and hunting their lost friends. -sAThe general belief Is that the explo- sion resulted from dust contact when the miners entered this morning and that it was not due to fire damp.
 Nearly all the men employed in the mine were white, only about one-fifth being colored and most of the men were married and had families in the little cottages near the tipple of the great mine.
 A special train arrived tonight from Montgomery filled with reporters, phy- sicians, nurses and others and one car contained thirty caskets. After the ar- rival of the train an order was sent to Montgomery for fifty more caskets. Another train arrived from Charleston with physicians, caskets and relief sup plies. Still another train came in from Hinton, but there is no need of physi- clans and nurses as the victims are dead. There is great need of under takers and expert mine workers The work of rescue is being continued to- night and will be kept up until the mine is clear.
