King Oscar II. Passed Quietly Away
Sunday Morning.

Stockholm, Sweden-Oscar H., king
of Sweden, died at $40 o'clock Sun
day morning. The death of the ven
cradle monarch occurred in the royal
apartment of the palace, where, sur
rounded by the members of his fam

and the Crown Prince Oscar Gustave
and high ministers of state, the in
evitable end had been awaited, while
outside the palace great crowds stood
with bowed heads and fearful eyes
long after the announcement came
of the death of their well-loved SOW
ereign. The whole country is bowed
with grief, for King Oscar was some
thing more than a ruler of his people
and had endeared himself to them as
an intimate and personal friend. When
the flag on the palace was dipped to
half-mast there was a moa of an
guish from the assembled multitude
and many of them cried Our dear old
king is dead"

So BODIES REMOVED
WORK OF REscUERs is STOPPED
BY FIRE.
DEAD MAY NOT EXCEED 400
Through an investigation 1t Is Found
That Many Men Had Not Re-
turned to Work.

Monongah, W. Va, Dec. 9.-But
ffty-three bodies had been recovered
from mines Nos. 6 and s of the
Fairmont Coal Co, when darkness
closed over the little town of Monon,
gah Sunday night.
Fffty-six hours had elapsed since
the awful explosion and a majority OF
the bodies brought to the surface
were in a terrible condition, ~necessi.
tating almost immediate burial.
1t is now believed that the number
of dead will not be over 400.
A thorough investigation was made
by the company Sunday and it was
discovered that many miners, believed
to have been entombed, escaped be-
cause they had not gone to work Fri
day, after Thursdays holiday.
A score or more of these men re-
ported to the officials during the past
"a hours.
Fire Breaks Out Again.
Shortly after 5 o'clock Sunday aft
ernoon fire broke out again in mine
No. s and the rescuers were at once
ordered to the surface.
Thousands of sightseers from the
surrounding towns had gathered about
the openings. Through megaphones
the crowds were notified of the fire
and the danger of another explosion,
but they refused to leave and it was
with great difficulty that the special
police, assisted by many miners,
forced these people to seek places Of
safety.
Efforts were then directed toward
extinguishing the fire and it is thought
it will be subdued within a few hours,
when the work of rescue will again
be taken up. 1t was said by mem
bers Of the %rescuing party that over
a hundred bodies have been located In
both mines and that they will be
brought to the surface as soon as the
fire has been extinguished. 1t is not
believed the fire will reach any of
these bodies.
