fore it had done much damage to

The crowd at the mine did not

flames and when day broke a large
throng of people were at the mouth
of the mine This grew in propoc-
lions as the hours passed, hundreds
of new spectators coming from
Clarksburg, Fairmont and other
places. attracted by a desire to aid
in the search of loved ones and ny

President c. w. Watson of the Con-

the ground looking after the work
.of rescue, sent the following tele-
gram to Governor w. NJ. o. Dawson
this morning. concerning the situc-
tion:
News reports have been sent out
from here that rescuing parties were
lost. These are false. There are
large crowds but the order is perfect.
Everything possible is being done for
the families of the miners and there
is no restitution so far as l can see
Offers of assistance by our neighbors
operators in other districts and 9TH
ers have been made. The railroad

lowing from Mayor L. c.. Grille, OF

"Clarksburg citizens have started

No Bodies Recovered Since
Early Morning But Work
of Rescue Goes On.
MINE FIRE is OUT NOW
Renewed and Fresh Efforts to
Reach the Bodies of the
Many Victims.

MOEONGAH. Dec. Up TO
o'clock To-Day sixteen bodies had been
removed from mines Nos and OF
the Fairmont Coal Company. Four
of these are Americans About so
bodies have been found altogether.
but only sixteen brought TO the sur
face
The rescuers are now. within 1900
feet oe the end of the mine. They
are working in two parties of about
80 men each with reliefs every hour.
Scarcely a hope is entertained that
a single one sof the four hundred
or more men who went into the
mine yesterday has survived the ter
rifle explosion and poisonous gas
with which the mine filed immed!-
ately after the death dealing crash.
There are about six thousand in
habitants in the mining town
of Monnugah and it is doubtful If
there is score of persons who ave
not relatives or friends of those
numbered among the victims of the
disaster.
The people are stn'ned ~ the
catastrophy. Heart rending scenes.
sobbing wives and mothers, sweet
hearts, orphaned children are scru:i-
nizing the dead to claim their own.
Many are almost crazed.
One woman pulled out her hair
by handsful at time, another tore
all the skin from both her cheeks
with finger nails.
1t is hardly possible all the bodies
q ill be recovered for several days.
A majority of the corpses it is be-
lieved will he found about mile
back in the mine Mine officials
state forty per cent of the victims
were Americans.
Fifty physicians are near the
mines attending to members of the
rescuing party. many of whom were
overcome.
The company has sent rush orders
to GAINESVILLE. Pittsburg and other
cities for collins. Chief Mine In
spector Paul is expected to arrive at
the mines today. having been orde--
ed TO the scene by Governor Daw-
son.
An inquest into the explosion Will
probably begin Monday.
