err rescuer has met death in the
Harwick mine. David Lysle, a
volunteer miner from teechburg,
Pa, went down into the shaft last
night with Thomas Farrell and
William Davis. When his com.
panions came up to-day they re-
ported that Lysle has been over
come by gas and had died before
any assistance could be rendered
him. HIS body was found this
afternoon.
1t was 9:1S this morning when
the first body was hoisted from the
bottom of the pit. Then, one at a
time, twenty-five others were
brought from the black hole and
carried to the morgue at the school.
house.
Further back in the first and
second right headings of the main
entry are thlrty-eight more bodies,
making sixty bodies discovered.
The searches have not yet reached
the north entry, where it is expect
ed most of the bodies will be found.
1t was a soul-sickening Job and
strained to the limit the nerves of
the strong men who performed the
work. The twenty-five bodies
were recovered about ? o'clock
this morning. Six oil them were
found near the bottom of the shaft,
Just to the left of the main road.
The others were found in headings

burned in an awful manner. Many
are without heads, others have
faces so badly burned and mutt
lated as to preclude all possibility
OF their ever peing recognized.

ESQ. J. NJ. P'POOL.
Ripe in Yeass Passes to His Final
Reward.

Mr.. James NJ. P'Pool, formerly of
Bainbridge but more recently of
this city, died suddenly last Tues
day, at the home of his son, Mr.. J.
L. P'Pool, on Jesup avenue. He
was In the 85th year of his age and
throug bout his long and useful life
was one of the county's best citi-
zeus. Esq. P Pool, as he was gener-
ally called, was for more than
twenty years a magistrate in the
cambridge precinct and was al
ways a man of enterprise and sound
judgment, Just in his decisions, and
courteous in all his dealings.
The Pools descended from a
family who spelled the name Petty
pool, the first part of the name be
ing subsequently dropped. though
the present generation still retains
the "P" before Pool in lieu of the
Petty.
Esq, p Pool was born in Halifax
county, Va, oct. IA, 1919. His
father, Allen p Pool was d leuten-
ent in the war of 1872 and towards
the close was made captain. The
Squire came from Virginia in 1885
and first located in Trigg county.
After one year he came to this
county and settled. He became an
extensive land owner and farmed
on a large scale. He was at one
time a tobacco inspector on the
Hopkinsville market, and later be-
came large dealer in tobacco.
Esq. P'Pool was a staunch Dem
ocrat and was for many years the
local committeeman in his district.
He was a Mason and in his lodge
filled the position of Worthy Master
for more than ten years.
Esq. p Pool married Miss Nancy
G. Wilson and they reared FIVE
children, four sons and one daugh-
ter, Mrs. Stith. Two of the sons,
w. A. and J. L. P'Pool, live in this
city.
A few years ago Esq. P'Pool lost
his eyesight and the last days
of the good old man were spent in
blindness. He remembered the
voices of most of his friends and
seldom failed to recognize them
when they spoke to him, He was
a devout member of the Baptist
church and bore his affiiction with
christian fortitude. He had been
very feeble tor some time, but his
death came almost without warn
ing. .f.s..t,

MINE HORROR
In Which Nearly zoo Lives Are
Snuffed Out.
Deadly Explosion That Mas Fol-
lowed BY Fire
Damp.

Pittsburg, Pa, 25.-An Explo-
sion in the shaft of the HardwIck
Coal company, near Cheswich, Pa,
on the West Pennsylvania railroad
has cut off the escape of at least
1874 miners who were at work at the
time.
When the explosion occurred the
concussion was so great that it is
said a mule was blown out of one of
the shafts. 1t is not known yet
what caused the explosion or just
how it occurred.
EntOmbed Probably Dead.
1t is said that the force of the ex-
plosion was so great that every
man in the limited space under
ground must have been instantly
killeaby the conclusion, and it is
likelyAthat the interior cf the mine
is aly wrecked, Any of the men
who night possibly have escaped
the bck of the explosion have beer
probably suffocated by the fire
damp, and mining men think il
hardly likely that any of the mer
will be brought out alive.
