DEAD RECOVERED.
AND MANY MORE YET TO BE Ia
KEN FROM WRECKED MINE.
SMALL NUMBER SURVIVE.
Rescue Work Will Be Pushed Until
Every Man Has Been Accounted
For.

Johnstown. Pa, July 12.-Yesterday
was a day of heroic rescues at the i'll
fated rolling mill mine of the Cambria
Steel company. Thrilling experiences
attended the efforts of the forty intre-
pid and daring fellows who willingly
went down into the earth with very
faint hope of finding some one alive
Death lurked everywhere for them
But all undaunted and swayed by the
mobiles purposes they essayed the task.
The reward of their efforts was the
saving of the lives of fourteen of their
fellow comrades and bringing them
back again into the sunlight and re-
storing them to their families. Dead
and MANNED bodies were located but
10 effort was made to bring them out
of the vast theater of death until every
human energy was put forward TO-
ward seeing that no living sould
might escape their aid. That done, the
dead were attended to and put in
tram cars and brought up and exposed
to morbid gaze while being transferred
to wagons in which to be taken to the
morgue. Eighty-seven dead bodies
were recovered from the mine between
daylight and nightfall, still party OF
officials and miners battled on, three
miles inside the camp. Occasionally
word would come to the surface by
some mysterious means that another
heap of remains had been exposed to
the vision of the searchers. There re-
main dangerous headings in the Klon-
dixie section of the mine yet to be ex-
plored,
No one knows how many dead VIII
be found there. The mine officials re-
frain from guess work on the subject.
The impression prevails among the
employees of the mine that $50 is low
estimate of the casualty list
Eated Johnstown spent the day hor-
ror struck. From dawn to dusk flying
ambulances coursed through the
streets bearing grewsome burdens
from the mine to the morgue and from
the morgue to the homes. Great
crowds swarmed about the pit mouth
and bulletin boards were eagerly
scanned for news from the scene of
the disaster. Exaggerated rumors Of
all kinds prevailed. One report gain
ed credence that disaster had overta'
ken the rescuing party which entered
the mine shortly after o'clock. This
proved one of the entertaining yarns
that had its origin among the crowd
at the pit mouth. Returning rescuers
substantiated the horrible details Of
the disaster.

BOTH SIDES CONFIDENT.
Rumors Of Other Strikes and of a Gen
eral Tie Up Unconfirmed.

Houston, Texas, July 12.-The pro.
gress of the Southern Pacific strike
was not marked yesterday by any very
important events, yet the quiet that
prevailed was felt by some to be the
calm before storm and MANY rumors
were current of coming developments
that would cause a serious break in
the even course of affairs.
One of the most serious rumors was
to the effect that in the event that the
Southern Pacific should place new men
in the shops the transportation depart.
ment would walk out and tie up the
whole system. There was no means
of verifying this report, but if true it
will be a tremendous factor in the
present strike and rapidly bring events
to focus.
The receipt of the news that the
Southern Pacific employees had gone
out on strike at El Paso was cheering
to the strikers here as they consider
it of great bearing upon their own sit
uation.
Manager Van Week has given r
statement OF figures on wages which
show that the employees demands and
the company's offer are less than 2
cents apart, which gives a new light
from which to view the situation.

the revolver, but he made him borrow
the necessary money. Johnson went
to Tacoma and secured the weapon
