RECOVERY OF Il BODIES
FROM THE HARW|CK PIT
Over 100 Blackened and Mangled
Corpses Still Far Under
ground.
.SCHOOLHOUSE A MORGUE

PITTSBURG, Jan. 27.-Three days have
elapsed since the terrible catastrophe at the
Harwick mine Of the Allegheny Coal Com
pany and tonight at midnight seventy-one
bodies have been brought TO the surface.
Only eighteen of these have been identified.
The day has been one of horror in the little
village and while the blackened bodies were
brought from the top of the shaft and then
on sleds taken to the schoolhouse, where
the undertakers were ready to receive them.
there seemed to prevail in the community
as clutch that repressed their natural
feelings of passionate anxiety and sorrow
the grim realization that there is still much
work to be done before the full extent of
the catastrophe has been realized.
The Allegheny Coal Company tonight in
an official statement positively admitted
that all of the men who were in the mine
when the explosion occurred are dead.
There are Ill names on the list which does
not include Selwin NJ. Taylor or the two
men who were in the tipple above the mine
shaft when the explosion came. Nor does
the list include the name of Daniel Lysle,
of CaStleshannon, whose body was found
in the mine this morning. His body was
found sitting with his back TO the wall of
one of the rooms. He had evidently been
overcome by the after damp. The official
number of known dead is ia, one man on
the list given out by the company being
alive.
ST. PauPs Roman Catholic orphan asy-
lum. of this city, has notified the Harwick
authorities that that institution can take
care of 200 children. The mystery about
the well-dressed man who was found in
the mine this morning and who it was sur
missed must have been the unwilling cause
of the explosion has been cleared. The re-
mains were identified as those of David
Lysle, the volunteer, who was overcome
last night while searching for the victims of
the explosion.

RADIUM MAY PERFORM
WONDERS BEFORE LONG
May Determine Sex, Cure Cancer,
Prevent Rabies and Revolu-
tionize Warfare.
VIEWS OF A SCIENTIST

ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 27.-Prof. Prince
TarkhanOv, the well-known scientist, lee
turing recently before the Military Associa-
tion, made some interesting statements in
regard to the possibilities of radium. He
presented to his audience two cancer pa
tients who had been cured of malignant
growths on the face by the use of radium.
He said the problem of determining the sex
of children, which Professor Schenck had
failed to solve. will shortly be settled by the
aid of radium. The prince added that he
had prevented the development of hydro
phobia in dogs fnoculated with rabid virus
by using radium.
When large quantities of radium were
available the prince contended the whole
system of modern warfare would be reVolu-
tionized, as powder magazines, whether In
forts or in the holds of vessels. would be at
the mercy of radium rays which could ex-
plode them at long distance.

INDIANA IS THREATENED
BY ANOTHER BIG FLOOD
Local Weather Bureau Predicts
from Now on Rising Tenn
perature.
DANGER FROM FLOODS
Entire State, in Event Of Thaw,
Will Suffer Greatly-Better
Traffic Conditions.

Now that the average citizen has OBJ
tanned a taste of zero weather, Boreas' S
wrath has been satisfied and his force is
for the present spent. Menace to personal
comfort however. has been succeeded by a
great danger, that of recurring floods
throughout Indiana and the Ohio valley.
According to officials at the local weather
bureau a rise in temperature, which is due
within three days. may cause a prolonged
thaw. With seven and eight inches of snow
over central and southern Indiana, and
streams already swollen from the floods of
last week, commerce and the personal
safety of many hundreds are again threat
ened.
At midnight last night the thermometer
showed a rise of several degrees over the
temperature of eighteen hours previous, and
this bears out the prediction of the weather
bureau. The course of the mercury yester-
day was as consistent as heartless Its re-
fiex was found in thousands of red noses
and frosted ears, toes and fingers. News
boy and nabob alike blamed the weather
for ali their trouble.
BETTER CONDITIONS.
Railroads were able TO successfully cope
with weather conditions yesterday. and
freight was moved, in addition TO the re-
sumption of regular passenger schedules.
Inc pennsylvania, big -Four ana OInSr
through lines were handicapped by difficult
ties in the East, where the crest of the cold
wave is spending it's force. Where motive
power was available the Vandalia, p. & E.,
c., III. & d. and Monon were able to bring
their trains in within a few minutes OF
schedule time. Trains which are made up
at Union Station were sent out regularly,
but the flyers" were sometimes compelled
TO lay over for hours after they were due to
depart, owing to lack of motive power.
AS the present temperature is the same al
Springfield. H., Columbus, O., and other
cities of similar latitude Indianapolis. the
Weather Bureau expects the coming warm
wave TO have widespread effect, especially in
the heart of the flood district.
CENTER OF DISTRICT.
Should the thaw be renewed, indianapolis
it is declared, would be in the center of this
flood district, and Evansville would be the
city most in danger from the Ohio river
Reports from Evansville received at the
Weather Bureau last night showed that the
cold wave and snow there were of more
than ordinary severity. The rivers in north
ern Indiana. the Eel, Wabash, White river
and other streams, will pour into the Ohio
which now is at a high mark in south
ern Indiana Never were conditions so IA
vorable, according TO close observers.
Personal discomfort has been shelved by q
greater danger, and within the next thirty
six hours developments are expected which
are of interest to observers of January's

Local Lacrosse Club Has Two
Games With Canadians

The local lacrosse team will meet the
Soos of Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, next
Saturday and Sunday. Saturdays game
will be played at the downtown park
while Lexington park will be the scene of
Sundays contest.
The Soos this year are a strong aggre

Arthur Art Fort William M the American 500
industries operated by the Consolidated
Lake Superior Co. has resulted in an
influx of young blood, especially from
lacrosse and the city has now a large
number of fast players to pick from.
The local men appreciate that they will
have hard task before them and have
not relaxed in their training. Friday
evenings practice was one of the most
strenuous of the season and the checking
was unusually severe. Raymond parted
lision with Seller, while Allen received
an accidental cut in the forehead from
Gaiseford's stick. Everything was. taken
good naturedly. The eagerness which the
boys display in their work is commendable
and the result is shown in the magnifi-
cent article of lacrosse they have been
putting up this season against really first
class teams 1t is such a spirit that
brings any athletic team to the front and
with another year when the few weak
spots have been strengthened st. Paul
will have lacrosse team to be proud of.
The plans. of the management embrace
number of games for the balance of the
season both on the home grounds and
in foreign cities. The Saints are sched
uled for trip to Chicago and possibly
to Winnipeg later on. Arrangements are
now being made to bring the Portage Lake
team of Houghton, Mich, to this city
Aug. and another Winnipeg team may
be seen here Labor Day. The Calumets
have been received from Detroit and ST.
Louis. 1t is hardly likely that the two
latter teams can be accommodated, owing
to the large expense of transportation.
Ali the players will be out for practice
at Lexington park this morning and every
evening this week up to and including
Thursday.
