EARLY MORNING WORK
Body Found of Stranger Who May
Have Caused Disaster

I =
Pittsburg, Jan. 27.-The real day Of
sorrow for residents Of the village Of
Harwick has arrived. The charred
and blackened remains of victims of
the explosion at the Allegheny Coal
company's mine are being found in
large numbers and brought to the sur
face.
At 1880 o'clock nineteen bodies had
been brought up and there were sixty
two at the foot Of the shaft.
All are burned in an awful manner.
Many are without heads; while others
have faces so badly burned and mutt
lated as to preclude all possibility of
their ever being recognized.
Stranger Is Found.
Among the bodies found was that
of a stranger. While he is believed to
have been a miner who was making a.
visit to the shaft there is a possibility
that he was not and that he may not
have been aware of the danger in
have caused the explosion by lighting
a match.
Fifteen bodies were found in butt
1 Of: the south entry. All of them
with the exception Of the stranger
were badly burned and mangled. In.
room / Of the south entry We're found
two men lying face downward, near
killed by the force Of the explosion.
In another place were six negroes, five
in a heap and one pinned under a
car. The driver of that entry was
found lying along the roadway where
he had been blown. Rooms 10 and IL,
south entry, are caved to the depth Of
fvelfeet. Several men are buried
there as there are undoubtedly. men
buried under rock in other parts of the
mine. For this reason it will be
weeks before all Of the bodies are re-
covered.
The air in the mine is getting better
every hour, but considerable gas is
still encountered.
Funeral Arrangements.
James M. Fullerton, who will have
charge Of all funeral arrangements,
said to-day:
Coal company officials have announced
that they want every corpse buried de-
Gently. I will have plenty of help and
we will do our best to make all bodies
.presentable before we allow the relatives
to see them. hope the relatives will
not interfere with us in our work Each
body will be eInbalmed and will be given
a grave Of its own.
A general appeal for aid for the
families Of the dead miners will be
issued. An effort will be made to
raise at least $4,000 to provide for
the suffering and almost destitute
women and children until warmer
weather comes, or until some perma-
nent arrangement can be made.
