Dead Inspection Party Recov-
cred, From Baby Mine,
at Pocahontas Va.
vICTIMS OF WHITE DAMP.
Come of Them Seemed to Have Met
Death Without Pain, While Others
Apparently Had Made a Struggle
to Retrace Their Steps.

Bluefield, w. Va, Nov. 25.-The
dead. bodies Of the lost party of eight
well-knowu mining men who entered
West mine of the Pocahontas' Col
liery company, on Friday morning
last at IL O'Clock, were recovered at
12:45 o'clock Sunday. At o'clock
Sunday morning rescuing party
numbering 40 persons entered at the
main entrance, bratticing the mine as
they went in order to improve the cir
culation of the air. They had reach
ed a distance of $500 feet from the
entrance. when they encountered such
quantities Of white damp that it was
impossible to proceed further. Re-
tracing their steps, they decided to
make another attempt from the Tug
river entrance, some six miles across
the Flat Top mountain. They went in
this entrance about 10:30 O'Clock, and
after going distance of some 600 feet
found the dead bodies of A. s. Hurst,
chief inspector; Bob Oldham, sub-in-
spector, and Frazier G.. Bell, mining
engineer, all huddled together. From
their positions they must have met
death suddenly and without pain. All
Of them were lying face down, with
no signs of a struggle. Hurst had
made pillow of his coat, on which his
head rested. The bodies of the other
five members Of the party, Superin-
tendent Of Mines Walter O'Malley,
Joseph Cardwell. superintendent of
the Shamokin Coal and Coke COM
pany; r. E. st. Clair, second Assist
ant inspector; State Mine Inspector
Price and Maurice St. Clair, sub-in.
spector, were found several hundred
feet back in the mine, three of the
bodies lying some little distance
apart. Bob St. Clair and Joseph
Cardwell were lying with arms
clasped around each other cold in
death. The bodies Of O'Malley, Mau-
rice st. Clair and Price were discol-
ored and bruised about the face,
showing signs of struggle. it being
very plain to see they made a desper-
ate attempt at retracing their steps
to better air, but already Mad ad-
vanced too far into the deadly white
damp to escape alive.
1t is said by member Of the res
cuing party that Hurst, Bell and Cd.
ham would hardly have lost their lives
but for the fact that they lost their
way, entering a chamber $50 feet to
the left, or near one of the passages
from the Baby mine, in which the
deadly white damp had accumulated
in great quantity.

CATHOLICS TO MEET.
THE AMERICAN FEDERATION OF
CATHOLIC SOCIETIES.
To Open at Cincinnati Dec. 1o-Oroan.
ization Has Approval Of Dis
tinguished Prclates.

Philadelphia, Nov. 25.-Members Of
Catholic organizations and Catholic
communities generally throughout
the country are much interested in
the approaching convention of the
American federation Of Catholic socie-
ties of the United States, which will
open in Cincinnati Dec. 10. They re-
gard 1t as history making event for
the church in America.
The federation has the approval and
cooperation of the most distinguish.
ed prelates in the United States.
Bishop McFaul, of New Jersey was
one of its most early promoters, and
Is now its spiritual director. Prepare
tions for the organization of the
movement have been under way for
a long time, but 1t was not until Au-
gust last at Long Branch that an or
ganization was finally effected. This
was done by the election of the fol-
lowing national officers: President,
Henry j. Fries, Erie, Pa; vice presi-
dent, Judge Thomas w. Fitzgerald,
Brooklyn: treasurer, M. p. Mooney,
Cleveland; secretary, John j.
O'Rourke, Philadelphia.

are: John ]. Coyle, Philadelphia;
John G. Mcguire, Brooklyn; L. ].
Kaufman, New York city; e. d.
Reardon, Anderson, Ind. .,andP. j. Flat
ley, Boston.
Since that time interest in the move
ment has been widespread. Every
Catholic organization in the country
has notified the national officers of its
intention to participate in the con-
vention. The national Offices are in
this city and a corps Of clerks have
been employed for weeks answering
inquiring correspondents and making
arrangements for the Cincinnati gath.
erlng. 1t Is believed the convention
will number about 1900 delegates.
and the city of Cincinnati is making
elaborate preparations to receive and
entertain them. Pennsylvania, New
Jersey, New York, Massachusetts,
Ohio. Maryland, Kentucky, Illinois
and Indiana will in particularly be
largely represented. The most dis
tinguished Catholic laymen and
churchmen in the country will be
among the delegates and speakers.
There will be an orator of the west
and an orator of the east The for
mer will be District Attorney p. n.
ODonnell, of Chicago, and the latter
Will be either Bourke Cochran, of New
YORK, or Michael j. Ryan, of Philadel.
phia
The convention will be attended by
an elaborate street parade of uniform.
ed Catholic Knights OF America and
other similar societies. It will be in.
augurated by a pontifical mass at the
Cincinnati cathedral, at which Arch.
bishop Elder will preside. The Rt.
Rev. Bishop Horstmann, of Cleveland.
will celebrate the mass and the ser.
mon will be preached by another

PRAISES : EVANS. y
VETERANS HAVE NO MORE Sin
cERE FRIEND,
Says Secretary tiltchoock-some
Points Of His Annual
Address. f

Washington, Nov. 25.--The annual
report of Secretary Hitchcock, OF
the interior department, was made
public. The contents are in part:
It endorses the conclusions sub.
mitted by Commissioner of Indian
Affairs Jones. regarding tho present
Indian education system.
The income of the various Indian
tribes from all sources during the
year aggregated $5,33S,SSO, a falling
off Of S260,952, mostly due to the ex.
piration Of treaty obligations.
The Dawes commission to tho FIVE
civilized tribes in Indian territory re.
ports that the rolls of membership
of only one nation, the Seminoles, SO
far, have been approved and their
lands have not yet been entirely al
lotted. The time cannot be- fixed with
certainty when the enrolment of the
four remaining tribes will be finished.
The report highly endorses the
work and recommendation of Com
missioner of Pensions Evans and
says that the veterans have no more
sincere friend than their comrade, the
commissioner, who himself served
as an enlisted man in the armies of
the Union, and he but maintains and
defends the honor of their patriotic
service when, refusing to ignore both
the letter and the spirit of the law, he
declined to permit the imposter.
whether claimant or agent, to share
in the bounty provided for the vet
eran and those dependent upon him."
The secretary says the net earnings
Of the bond aided and land grant rail-
roads amounts to over $4,000, 900
and the increase in gross earnings tn
$37,000,000. The increase In expenses
for the year was over $24,0OO,OOO
The debt of the Central Pacific road
to the United States now stands at
$5S,S12,715.
The secretary submits the annual

Canal company, of Nicaragua, which
shows that since its organization TO-.
145 shares of its capital stock have
been subscribed for at par, aggregat.
ing $1,014.500. and that the !. total

In swinging round, Reynard was
forced to invade the golf links of the
Trenton Country club. \ party of
golfers were playing there and they
heard the baying of the hounds.
Miss Wakeman, who chance4 to be
leading the players, was preparing TO
lift her ball over a bunker, when the
fox leaped over the mound and on
towards the young wOman's feet. Her
club was poised. and as the fox was
so near she changed the course of her
blow and aimed at the animals head.
The end of the stick caught Reynard
squarely between the eyes, and he
rolled over as dead as though he had
been shot through the heart.

the congratulations of the whole
party. As a reward for her achieve
