Terrible Scene Greets Rescuers
as They Penetrate Ill.Fated
Herwick Mine
MAheLED BEYOND RECOGNITION
Bodies of the Unfortunate Men Found
in Heaps Where They Fell When
the Explosion Stranger
May Have Caused the Accident
Many Mines Recovered.

Pittsburg, Jan. 27-At S o'clock this
morning twenty-five charred and
blackened corpses were lying at the /
foot OF the Ill fated Herwick mine shaft
ready to be hoisted to the surface ana {
further back in the main entry are
thirty-eight more bodies. The search
ers have not vet reached the north en-s
try. where It is expected most Of the
bodies will be found
All the bodies were burned in an aw-
ful manner. Many are without heads
and others have their faces so badly
burned and mutiiated as to preclude all
possibility of their ever being recog-
nised. Several feet OF ice at the bot
tom OF the shaft delays the starting
OF the bodies to the surface. but the
obstruction is being cleared away %
fast as possible. s
Among the bodies found was that OF
a stranger. The clothes on It were only
slightly burned. Who he was or what
he was doing In the mine. no one seams
to know. While he is believed to have
been a miner who was making visit
70 the shaft. there is a possibility Ne
was not. and he may not have been
aware OF the danger in gaseous mines.
He may have unwillingiy caused the
explosion by lighting q match. Thls ~

he escaped the force or the expiosion.

H. A. McNiilen, who led one OF the
parties Of searchers said: s, '
Fifteen bodies were found in but
one Of the south entries All OF them
with the exception OF the stranger, were
badly burned and mangled. One had
its head blown on In one room ws
found two men lying face downward
near each other. They had evidently
been killed by the force OF the explo-
sion. In another place we found six
men. all negroes. Fife were in heaps
and one pinned under a car. We found
the driver of tina; entry lying along
the roadway where he had been blown.
There are undoubtedly men buried mn
der the rock in parts of the mine. For
this reason 1t will be weeks before all
the bodies are recovered
Inspector Cunningham says the ait
I'm the mine is getting better every
hour. but there Is still considerable Eas
encountered. From the condition Sols
the bodies he thinks now the men were
killed by force of the explosions and
not by after damp. as at first suggested.
At 1890 nineteen bodies have beee
brought to the surface and there are
about sixty two at the foot OF the shaft
AS fast as the bodies reached the
surface they were taken to the niorgus
at the school house. where. after being
