BRINGING OUT THE DEAD.
Hnrrich Mine Still Dangerous
Volunteers Killed.

Pittsburg Jan 27.-ChIef Mine Inspector Roderick
reached the HarwIck mine this afternoon. and at
once assumed charge. The finding this forenoon OF
the dead body OF Daniel Lysle. Of Leechburg, and
the report that another OF the searchers missing
is keeping down the number of volunteers. for they
realize that there Is stl much danger in the mine
but II IS believed that Mr.. Roderick will get suf
fcient number OF men TO prosecute the work vigor
ously.
Lysle went down the shaft last night with
Thomas Farrell and William Davis. When his COM
panions up to-day they reported that Lysle
had been overcome by gas and had died before as
sistance could be rendered him
The air in parts OF the mine is very hot,
and It is feared that the mine is on fire. II this
IS the case the work OF the searching party will
be seriously nterfered with Late this afternoon the
rescuers got into the north butt, and found 1t full
Of bodies II is the opinion Of the party that this
will include about all tho victims and 1t is believed
now that most Of the bodies will be out by to-
morrow afternoon. One OF the men VINO was
below after the opening Of this butt said that the
bodies in 1t not so badly burned as the
others and that Identification would be much
easier.
Forty-three bodies had been taken out Of the
mine late to-day. Those first brought 70 the sur
face were badly mangled and all were more or less
burned There Will be great difficulty IN IDENTIFY
ing them. and about the only way it can be done
will be by the weigh checks found on most OF
them.
No relatives OF the dead were permitted in the
temporary morgue this morning. for the sights
there were too grewsone. and besides. II is neces-
sarv that there be no interruption 10 the work Of
the urdertakers. The streets Of the village were
deserted to-day. the women and children having
been made to understand that they would better
remain indoors until tho authorities were reaoy
for them to come to the morgue.
