SEARCHING FOR BODIES.
Impossible to Identify Many of the
CorpseS-Inouiry


BIRMINGHAM, Ala, February 22-Two
staff correspondents of the Birmingham
News, who have just returned from Vir-
glnia Mines say that when they left there
this morning forty-eight bodies had been
taken out. A number of corpses, the res
cuers reported, were still in sight, but could
not be reached because of the water. The
explosion broke the water pipes flooding a
large part of the mine. 1t is therefore pos
sible that some of the miners were drown
ed. as several bodies have been seen float
ing around in the flooded rooms. Forty
four corpses have been taken to Bessemer.
where a vacant storehouse is being used
as morgue.
In many instances 1t is impossible to iden-
Il y the dead, so badly are they blackened
and mangled. Absolutely no hope is held
out now of finding any one alive in the
mine, especially in view of the discovery
that many of the rooms have been flooded.
1t Is said that the report that several men
were taken out alive, but afterward died,
cles of three bodies relaxed when they

Coroner Paris is inquiring into the dis
aster. having already empaneled a jury.
Newspaper men who have made a close es-
innate on the number of men In the mine
say that there were 49, and that there is
no doubt but that every man is dead. From
now on the work of recovering the bodies
will be slow, owing to the presence of
water in the mine.

STEAMERS NARROW ESCAPE.
Heavy Ice in Harbor Responsible for
Causing a Fire.

NEW YORK, February 22-Heavy ice in
Long Island sound, which made navigation
through the regular steamer route impossi-
BILE, was indirectly responsible for threat
ening fire yesterday on the British steamer
Bechuana, which arrived here today from
Boston The steamers cabin was badly
burned, but the flames were confined to
that portion of the vessel and were ex-
tinguished after causing damage to the eX-
tent of 81, 600.
The Bechuana arrived at Boston from
Calcutta several days ago, and after dis
charging portion of her cargo resumed
her voyage to this city. She attempted to
steam through the sound, but found her
passage blocked by a great field of ice and
was obliged to put back and come around
by way of Sandy Hook. While off Mon
tauk Point yesterday the Bechuana en-
countered very rough sea and pitched and
rolled so violently that oil stove In the
cabin was upset. The flaming Oil quickly
spread through the cabin, and within
few minutes the entire room was ablaze.
