Birmingham, Ala, Feb. PA tel
ephone message from Bessemer. six
miles from the scene OF a disaster
in the Virginia mines, where about
$50 men have been entombed by an
explosion, says that confirmation of
a rumor reached there today that the
rescuers had reached the interior of
the mine, and that sixty dead bodies
were found. There was practically no
hope of finding any of the imprisoned
men alive The rescuers during the
night encountered much damp, and
many of them had to be taken to the
surface and revived. This leads the
rescuers to believe that the enuomb-
ed men could not possibly have liv-
ed. The mine is some distance off
the railroad and is reached only by
wagon road!
Later:-A dispatch from the mine
at 10 O'Clock says that only one body
has been recovered. The exact num-
ber of men who were in the mine is
now placed at 116. The work of dig
ging through to the entombed men
is going on without cessation. but all
hope of finding any of them alive has
been practically abandoned.
The latest report from the mine is
that only three bodies have been re-
covered. They were all blackened
and give evidence of a terrible strug-
gle. Thousands of people were gath
cred about the mouth of the mine
when the bodies were brought up to
the surface and many distressing
scenes were witnessed. The rescuers
are still at work and late rumors say
that no less than fifty bodies are In
sight. No hope is held out of finding
any of them alive.

PASSING OF THE VETERANS.
Last Survivor of Civil War Will
Have Departed by the Year 1915.

Basing computations on such expert
ence as applicable it is estimated that
in the year 1915 the last survivor Of the
Union armies in the Civil war will have
passed away, says Washington dis
patch. The pension list passed its high
point. early in the present year, and is
expected to show a gradual decrease
from this time forth. That decrease
will not, for some years, have much
effect on the appropriation required for
pensions; but the time is not far away
when decreasing demand for this pur-
pose will begin to reduce the annual
draft on the treasury in considerable
measure.
But on the other hand, when the last
survivor of the war has passed away, it
will not mean the end of paying pen
sions for their account. There will
still.be a long pension roll Of widows of
soldiers. The last pensioner of the
Revolutionary war, the widow of a
soldier, has but very recently died.
Dr. B. A. Could for the United States
sanitary commission, has prepared a life
table, which includes data of an inter-
esting character and as close to actual
figures as could be adequately outlined.
While these figures are necessarily
approximate, they have been carefully
compiled and are believed to form the
best estimate obtainable of conditions
relative to the statistics of the military
forces of that time. That the veterans
of the Civil war are fast joining their
comrades who have gone before is evil
denced by the fact the number of pen.
sion claims registered in the pension
bureau reached it's zenith in the early
part of the present year, and that it
is now steadily being decreased.
In June, 1905, it is estimated, there
were S20,6S7 survivors. Various causes
lead the statistician to believe that tn,
decrease in the following twelve months
will reduce the number to 1922. A
comparatively slight decrease, an odd
$4,000, is recorded for the following
year, and relatively small ones follow
until 1915, when drop of nearly 200
600 is noted
