 INFERRED.
Services Read For Two Aged Sisters, Mother and Daughter, and Mother and Two Babies-Wreckage
 Cleared.

Knoxville, Tenn. Sept. 2s.--No addi- tiona deaths of injured have occurred today and the death list of the South ern wreck near Newmarket on Satur- day last still stands at S2. All of the injured at the Knoxville general hos pital are reported doing we'll and only four or five are so desperately wounded that death may result from their in- juries.
 Today has been one of sorrow for this city. No less than twelve funerals of victims of the wreck were held. One was a double funeral where two aged sisters were buried; at another mother and daughter were buried and still other services were said for a mother and her two little children.
 Many of the leading officials of the Southern are still here and will remain until all damages can be settled so far as possible. Today at the scene of the disaster a huge bonfire was built and the mass of kindling wood was burned together with small pieces of decaying flesh.
 Of the list of sixtytwo dead only i've bodies now remain to be Identified Four are white men and one colored. Three will probably have to be buried in nameless graves. Two of the white men may be traced One wears a Masonic badge and has the initials e. B" on his linen. The onfy means of Identifying the other body is through his watch, made by A. C. Kolbuch.

 State Conclusions.
 "I have examined the statutes to which reference has been made and do not think that the interpretation l have given to the fifth award at all conflicts with the requirements of the same. The courts of Pennsylvania. however. are the proper and only competent tribu- nals for the settlement of the question. My adjudication, therefore, In the pren,- ises, Is that the fifth award of the an- thracite coal strike commission re. quires:
 "First-That check weishmen and check docking bosses shall be employ ed at any of the eollieries whenever re :. quired by a majority of the contrac. miners of said colliery.

suggestion of THE DISPATCH,
and has decided to investigate
the matter of municipal street
sprinkling. Columbus is no
longer a village but city large
enough in size to entitle her to
all modern cOnveniences, and her
people should never again be
forced to endure the many dis
comforts which the extremely
dusty condition of the str eets
forced upon them during the
past summer.
