clined to press the point at present.

not.

Q.-Was this perpetual motion ma
chine the doctor was working on? A.

ard was brought out through fear of
his son.
Odd DR.. Hissom have a revolver?
Ayes, sir.
Ole was a pretty good shot, was
he not? A.-Oh, yes.

ply to question said defendant had

tions by defendant

Braznell Mine.
Brownsville. Pa, Especial. -Four more
bodies have been recovered from the Braz-
nell mines, near this place, increasing to lG
the number Of persons known to have been
Killed in Saturdays disaster. The bodies
have not been Identified.
The mine officials admit that two or more
bodies are still in the mine, but representa-
tives Of tho Slavcnic Society have made
house-to-house canvass and report that eight
OF their number alone are in the wreck, and
how many others they do not know.
That naked lights and unlocked safety
lamps were used in the mine was officially
confirmed by Pit Boss Thomas Jones. who
made statement to that effect. Mr.. Jones
was asked If 1t was true that ON last Tuesday
morning he issued general order that the
miners could dispense with safety lamps.
Some of the families OF the dead miners
are in suffering condition, and provisions are
being sent out by the Brownsville merchants
rs well rs from Uniontown.
The fact that last Saturday wus pay day at
ttn mine and that there were no empty
wagons to load accounts for many not going
into the mine that morning. Had tho acci.
dent occurred any other day there would
have been more than 100 men in tho mine
and the result would have been even more
appalling than 1t Is. Some Of tho bodies were
removed to their homes and buried.
Little Albert AIesse, who died after being
rescued, lived only a few steps from the
SHAFT He went to the window Saturday
morning and looked out, saying to hls
father; Papa, guess there Is no use OF mo
going to work this morning, as there Is no
loading"
The father said Albert had better go aud
help him feed the mules. They both started
out together and never returned.
The excitement caused by the terrible ac
cident has driven all thought of the holiday
festivities from the homes OF all who live in
the neighborhood, even those who have no
friends killed. The search for the bodies
still goes on.
