confronted the rcscuers on every hand
but with only brief interruptions the
work was continued until o'clock yes
terday afternoon. Then the fire drove all
from the unexplored regions. aud the
search had to be abandoned for the re-
malnder OF the day and for the night.
! The flames have been fought by every
possible means. Including the laying OF a
water pipe from the river far into the
mine. This was the second fire since the
explosion. The first fire started Saturday
morning. but caused only short delay
Many believe the first fire was not en-
tirely eXtnguished. and that IL was its
smouldering embers that broke into
ilames yesterday
BODIES MUTILATED
The bodies so far recovered are in
horrible condition. An undertaken is au-
thority for the statement that or the o3
some were headlsss. arms were missing
from some, and legs or other members
from others.
The condition of the bodies still in the
mine is such that In the interest OF pub
lie health, the county health board yes
terday at a special meeting adopted the
following resolutions:
"Al bodies in bad state or decompo-
sition, i'm the opinion of the attending
physician must be prepared for burial at
"Such OF said above described bodies as
well as bodies in "a fair state OF preserva-
tion, shall be removed TO the First Ma
tlonal bank building, dhe improvised
morgue)
such OF them as are there identified,
shall be delivered To their friends who
shall at once remove and bury them.
"All the unidentified bodies shall as
speedily as possible be removed TO ceme-
terles and there have three hours for iden-
tihcation, after which time IL still un-
identified they shall be buried
AFTER-DAMP INCREASES.
The volume OF after-damp is steadily
increasing i'm the mine and the danger OF
another explosion is becoming ominous.
Several leaks have been found in the brat
tlces which the rescuers put up as they
worked forward through which gas is
sweeping in dangerous quantities. These
are being repaired as rapidly as they are
found and every other possible precau-
tion is being taken. a second explosion
would undoubtedly be attended with
great loss OF life among the crowds that
constantly surround the entrances Forces
on hand are powerless TO keep back these
crowds-only soldiers could do that. and
II may yet be necessary TO call out militia
for that purpose
Almost from tho first II has been said
that many of the bodies are in the entries
ready. 10 bring to the surface but IL is
now evident that II is going to require a
long time TO complete this work. That the
company now recognizes this Is evidenced
by the fact that today buildings were
erected and equipped Nr cooking End
serving warm meals to the rescuers.
II is estimated that there are between
$50 and 400 families OF the men who lost
their lives now In want. Some OF these
will later receive insurance but many
have nothing to look forward to. Headed
by the churches relief work was well
started yesterday and a general appeal to
the public is being made. Many West VIr-
ginia towns have already acted and others
are ready 10 do so.

QUEER DISHES OF 1882.
Remarkable viands Served at a Ban.
quet in London.

A Spanish visitor to London in 1882
describes banquet of that day: II
will tell you no lye," he begins eau
tiously: Il saw such kindes of meate
eaten as are wont to be sene and not
eaten; as horse rosted, a cat in
gely, little lizards with whot broth,
frogges fried, and divers other sortes
of meates, which I save them cate,
but never knew what they were till
they were eaten" The "quaking
custard" of that period was huge
dish in the middle of the table, into
which, '"at private signal, the city
fool suddenly leaped, over the heads
of the astonished feasters, who were
instantly despatched with this rich
and savory mud" Undeterred, how
ever, by this nasty behavior, the citi-
zens not only ate plentifully of the
custard, but even took some home to
their wives. Nor were the women of
those days backward in demanding
expensive daipties for themselves. 1t
seems; for an essayist of 1901 sar-
castically asks: 'Who will not ad.
'mire our nice danes of London, who
must have cherries at 20 shillings q
pound, and peascods at 5 shilling a
peck? Yong rabbettes of a spanne
and chickens of an inch?"

WHEN HER MEMORY FAILED.
For Once Mrs. Binks Had Proved
False to a Trust.

Mrs. Binks stands high in the ranks
Of club women, and bears a reputation
for possessing a keen and reliable
memory. 1t is quite the thing when
a question arises as to place or date
or name, whether in ancient or mod
ern history, in home or foreign lands,
in the realms of. literature or art, or
personal data in club events, to decide
the discussion by referring to the pop
ular member. "Oh, ask Mrs. Binks.
she'll remember" has become almost
watchword among the club women.
On recent afternoon, as Mrs.
Binks was starting out to attend a
club meeting the house maid came
with the request: please ma'a
won't you get me yeast cake on your
way home? l forgot to order one
when the grocery boy was here. Won't
you please remember, ma'am?" she
urged with the freedom of a servant
who has been long with the family
When Mrs. Binks returned she
brought her sister home with her to
dinner. Norah opened the door wis.-
fully and waited a moment or two be-
fore whispering to the younger wom-
an: "Oh, Miss Grace, please won't
you run around the corner for yeast
cake? just knew Mrs. Binks would
forget it, You know she never can
remember anything!"

Coal MINING Under Sea.


Up in Cape Breton Island, where
there are great number of colleries
digging out coal from under the sea,
the submarine area thus undermined
now amounts to about 16 ordinary
farms of 100 acres each. The outer
end of the hole is something over a
mile from shore. Strange as it may
seem, the workings have never been
invaded by sea water streams, al
though fresh water streams have been
encountered flowing out in the strata
under the ocean bed. The thickness
of the strata over the mines varies
from 500 to LAO feet. About $3.50,
900 tons of coal have thus far beer
taken from these submarine workings
and there is as yet no indication oil
failure of the beds.

No Respecter of Poets.

The American visit of the younger
Irving recalls, to literary folk, the as
sociation between Sir Henry Irving
and Tennyson. It will be remembered
that the great actor-manager produced
several of the poet laureate's plays,
sometimes with notable success. One
of the first of these ventures was The
Cup, and Tennyson was hugely pleased
with the financial outcome, but not
little hurt when, attending a perform.
ance, he found that many lines had
been cut
But Irving thought quite as much OF
his art of the actor as did Tennyson
of that Of the poet.
"Yes," he said dryly, I'VE have cut
several lines. We find it necessary to
do quite as much cutting in Shake
speare."
And Tennyson was silent-Satur
