Taylor's Body Recovered.
The report of rescuers who came Out
Of the mine about one a. m. to the effect
that many were alive was rudely shat
tered at 2:25 when the body of Selwy1
Taylor was brought to the surface. He
had evidently been dead for several
hours and now hopes for the other i'm.
prisoned men have been abandoned. The
rescuers are being brought out coated
with ice, drenched to the skin and unable
to walk. They report that the dead are
scattered one above the other as thick
as pine needless. Water is fast pouring
into the mine, covering the corpses with
shroud of ice and making the work Of
rescue almost impossible. Afterdamr

DR.. w. B. Mccullough, of Cheswick
who has been in the mine for two hours
, has just come to the surface and said
that in his opinion not one of the min.
ers who were in the shaft at the time Of
the explosion is alive. He thinks it will
be several hours before any of the
bodies can be brought to the surface.
Many Heroes.
There are many heroes in oilskins

gathered around that black hole II
is hard thing for men to do to &C
down into darkness and possible death
even for the lives of men they know
| but there were many volunteers who
were strangers to the entombed men. Al
every call there were always men
enough to man the bucket. Jack Nc
Cam, an engineer of the company
made the trip twice. At first it was a
failure, but as soon as Taylor had
reached the bottom he was the next to
go again.
Again and again the men were
driven back to the fresh air and the
heat of the boiler rooms, but only to
return. What they did seemed merely
the work that all men are called to dc
when the time comes.

ability, sagacity, and courage, has
raised himself from the position of an
ordinary constable on an East End
beat until he enjoys to-day the reputa-
ton of being probably the most ia
nous of the worlds great detectives
In that time he has been responsible
for many remarkable captures, in
which his exceptional daring and re-
source were abundantly demonstrated
One of these was his arrest of the
anarchist. Ravachol. at Victoria Sta

MANY MINERS ENTOMRED
BY TERRIFIC EXPLOSION
Nearly Two Hundred Buried in a Pennsyl.
vania Col]iery, Most of Whom Are
Thought to Be Dead-Rescuers
Fail in Their Efforts

Pittsburg, Pa, Jan. 26.-Between 1870
and 100 men are lying dead in the head
ings and passageway of the Harwick
mine of the Allegheny Coal company at
'Cheswick, the result of terrific explo-
sion Monday. Cage after cage has gone
down into the mine and come up again,
but only one miner of all those that went
down to work this morning has been
brought to the surface. The rescued
man is Adolph Gunia and he is still in a
semi-conscious condition at the tenn
porary hospital at the rude school house
ON the hillside above the mine.
The Explosion.
The explosion occurred at $3.50 O'Clock
Monday morning and the first warning
was the sudden rumble underground,
and then sheet of flame followed up the
deep shaft. Both mine cages were
hurled through the tipple, 20 feet above
the landing stage and the three men on
the tipple were hurled to the ground
A mule was thrown high above the shaft
and fell dead on the ground. The in
jured men were brought at once to this
city, where two of them have died since.
AS soon as the rumble of the explosion
and the crash at the pit mouth startled
the little village, the wives and children
of the men below rushed to the scene
of the disaster, but to gain no encourage
ment. There was no way to get into the
deep workings.
All day long there was jam of wait
ing women and children waiting about
the mouth Of the pit. There were calls
for assistance and for surgical aid from
the men in charge of the mine, but it was
not until four o'clock this afternoon
that the first attempt at rescue was
made. This was a failure, as the two
men who volunteered were driven back
by the foul air.
Story of Rescuer.
Shortly after five, Selwyn M. Taylor
and one of his assistants signalled for the
engineer to lower them into the shaft.
Taylor is still down there. Three times
efforts have been made to reach them,
but so far without avail. Thomas Wood,
one of the first of the rescue party hauled
to the surface, told his story of his trip
through the mine. He said: II was with
Taylor and we clambered over three Oh
four falls. Taylor laid out the mine and
seemed to know the way. There was
one man alive at the foot of the shaft.
He was sent up and ,hen we took the

elected to the position of English in
structor in the High school, was so
seriously injured in the Northwestern
wreck at Berryville a week ago that
she will unable to accept the position.
Miss Seabrook had been in Racine
seeking the position and took the ill
fated train to her home. AS no pas
sengers were reported hurt at the time
of the wreck, nothing was known of
her condition until Principal Black
hurst, while in Chicago, called at her
home and found her under a physici-
ans care with serious internal iniu-

the wreck. Miss Seabrook's condition
will necessitate the election of another
