 PTTTSBURG, Jan. 2S.-The HarwicA mine, in which 1884 miners lost their lives, Is giving up.its victims as fast as the engineer can raise and lower the cage in response to the signals from the men who are working at the bot tom of the shaft. The burned and man. gled bodies are drawn on sleds to the temporary morgue at the schoolhouse. There they are prepared for burial. Seventy four bodies have been taken from the mine.
 The air in some parts of the mine is very hot, and it is now feared the mine Is on fire If this proves to be the case the work of the searching party will be seriously interfered with.
 The work of removing the bodies from the ice and debris is so severe that it is difficult to get men enough to prosecute the search. The company las made second appeal for experienced miners. The mine pumps will shortly be put into operation again. and the burden of the search will be frightened.
 Every body brought out thus far is crushed well nigh into shapelessness. Each has the arms raised and the hands spread before the face, showing that the doomed men foresaw their fare and tried to ward it off. The fact that the legs and arms are broken and disjointed indicates that the force of the explosion must have been terrific.
 The only means of identification in most cases are the brass weigh checks. bearing number, which each man draws upon going into the mine. A checkman keeps a record of the number given each miner. As the bodies are identified the names will be posted on a sheet of paper on the schoolhouse wall E.5e.s
 H,.A. 1'cMillep, who led one party of saarchers, said
 " Fifteen bodies were found in butt of the south entry. All of them, with the exception of that of the stranger, were badly mangled. One had his head blown off. In room 1 of the south en- try we found two men lying face down ward near each other. '1hey had evi- dently been killed by the force of the explosion. Tn another place we found six men, all negroes, 1 believe. Five were in a heap, and one was pinned under a car. We found the driver of that entry lying along the roadway, where he had been blown"
 Chief Mine Inspector Roderick has reached the mine and assumed charge. The finding of the dead body of Dan iel Lysle of Leechburg and the report hn% ,,I.o ing is keeping down the number of vol unteers, for they realize that there is still much danger in the mine. but it is believed that MT. Roderick will get a sufficient number of men to prosecute the work vigorously. It Is planned now to hold union funeral services for all victims on Sunday. with the excep- ton of the Catholics, who will be bur , jed according to the rites of their church. Rev. Father Richard Hamil- ton of Colfax and a Slavish priest from Pittsburg will probably have charge of the services over the bodies of the Catholics.
 St. Paurs Roman Catholic Orphans asylum of this city has notified the Harwick authorities that that institu- ton can~take care of 200 children. The mystery about the well dressed man who was found in the mine and who, 1t was surmised, must have been the unwilling cause of the explosion, has been cleared. The remains were iden- tifed as those of David Lysle, the vol unteer, who was overcome while searching for the victims of the explo- elnn
