ASKS INDULGENCE OF READERS
More Reading Matter After the Holt.
day Rush Is Over.

The Evening Journal Graves the
indulgence OF its readers for yet q
few days. On account of the great
press of advertising, 1t has been found
impossible to handle the news matter
in manner satisfactory either to
the readers Of the paper or the edi-
tors, but this condition will obtain
for only short time. 1t was the
intention of the management to is
sue an eight-page paper during the
holiday advertising season, but 1t was
difficult to guage the amount OF
space required for this, and an early
canvass among the merchants failed
to disclose anything which would in-
dictate the great rush that later took
place. Consequently, the manage
failed to make the preparations nee
essary for the eight-page paper. This
was due entirely to the indecision OF
the merchants regarding the amount
of space required by them, and left
the management no alternative except
to continue the regular edition Of six
pages. The holiday rush will be over
in few days, when The Evening Jour
nal will again present its usual new
sy and readable appearance.

RESCUE WORK SLOW
Bull Few Bodies Taken From The
Mine Near ConneNsVil|e.
FORCES WORKING WITH CAUTION
Poisonous Gases In the Mine Make
Efforts to Reach Victims Very
Dangerous Is verita-
BILE Death-Trap'
BILE Death Trap

From the Darr mine, of the Pitts
burg Coal Co., near Conceivable, Pa,
where terrific explosion Thursday
imprisoned and almost beyond doubt
killed every one of the 200 or more
men who had entered the mine for the
day, only six bodies had been brought
to the surface up to 10 o'clock FRI
day night Others have been located
and lie in the entry awaiting a pro-
pitious time for their removal to the
temporary morgue.
Most OF the men, however, are still
hemmed in by heavy falls of slate and
other roof formation mile and half
and more beyond the point to which
the rescuers have penetrated up to
this time. There is still pickering
hope that some of them may yet be
living, but the disclosures of the in
vestigations SO far made leave little
or no basis for this hope.
Here or there one or more may be
found who had fallen during vain
attempt to reach the exit, but the al
most universal belief is that nearly all
will be found in the one remote section
three miles from the mouth OF the
mine, where they were working when
the explosion happened. Rescue work
has been halted. A vast amount of
tratticIng must be done before 1t can
proceed.
The rescuing parties, 1900 feet from
the main entrance, have found condi-
lions such that to avert an additional
disaster precautionary work must be
done The poisonous gases must be
forced from the sections beyond and
additional air and ventilation must be
provided for that section. To neglect
these precautions and proceed with
the explorations is to risk the life
of every man in the rescuing force.
To provide these safeguards will re-
quire many hours Of time, and 1t is
not believed that the great mass OF
bodies will be reached by this even
ing.
Conditions round about the mines
and in the little mining town are
greatly improved. The men who be-
gan holiday celebration by drink
ing and feasting have sobered up and
ceased their carousing and disorder
which made last night hideous. An i'm
portant factor in bringing about this
condition was the acquiescence Of the
proprietor Of the big saloon In the
towns only hotel to the coroner's re-
quest that the bar be closed until af-
ter the bodies had been removed and
The funerals over. No other drinking
place within two miles of the mine is
open
