MINES GIVE UP THEIR DEAD.
225 Bodies Of Coal Miners Recover
ed--Expected Number May be 300.

Monongah, w. Va, Dec. IL
Steadily and almost uninterruptedly
Mines Nos. and g., of the Fairmont
Coal Company, are giving up the VIC
Tins of last Fridays explosion.
When to-night's force of rescuers
went on duty there had been total
OF 225 bodies taken out, most Of
which have been buried. Othera
were brought out In groups Of two
and three at short intervals.
+ A number of the bodies brought
out to-day did not bear the brass
checks used in the company's system
Of records and accounts of majority
Of its employees, thus substantiating
the statements .; Monday that a
large number Of men and boys II,
the mines were not included Il the
checking rolls, from which the list
Of the dead were largely based. This
has also almost dispelled the hope
expressed by mining officials during
the past few days that the number
of dead had been over-estimated.
There is reason to believe tonight
that the number will not fall far
short Of hve hundred,
A canvass Of miners will be COM
pleted tomorrow, and this, together
with list of hundreds Of unclaimed
letters In the post once, Will furnish
data for new and probably more
accurate estimate.
Conditions outside the mine to-
night are much improved through
the freezing of the mud, making the
work much easier.
An opening between the two mines
was completed tonight, and it is be-
lieved that within 48 hours all the
bodies found will have peen taken to
the morgue.
Over fifty funerals were held to-
day. On each casket there was, a
bunch of American Beauty roses or
white carnations. The source of the
flowers remained a secret until late
in the day, when 1t was announced
that Miss Elizabeth, daughter Of S.
