no Miss Louise Dewey, the former
friend and the executrix Of Lady Lyt-
ton, had been confided q packet Of 29S
letters, representing the correspond
ence OF Bulwer Lytton with Miss
Wheeler Ia the days of their early
courtship. Miss Dewey published these
with a preface, stating that she took
this action Ia order to vindicate the
Enemory Of her dead friend. In what
manner the letters could be regarded
as vindication 1t Is difficult to see,
though they serve as remarkable con-
tribution to the literature Of epistolary
iovemaking. The extravagant absurdi-
sty Of some Of them is almost beyond
belief, and two passages may be quot
led as illustrative Of many others. In
the letters Bulwer Lytton addresses
Miss Wheeler as noodle and signs

HOPE fAI|'LS|
CHANCES OF REscUlfaG FEN-
sToMRED MINERS At STUART
is VERY SMALL

Associated Press to Bismarck Tribune
Charleston, w Va, Jan. Late
,dvices received from the scene OF the
disaster at the stpact conapany,s
mines at Stuart is that the number OF
yictims will be about so instead OF
rs or so, was first estimated.
. List of those known positively to
ave been in the mine at the time OF
he explosion includes 50 white miners
ind 10 colored. Besides these there
we're a number Of foreigners whose
ames are not known The efforts of
he rescuers today were placing Of
rattices in the shaft and clearing
'ebris from the entries. The rescuing
,arty hopes to be able to reach that
,art of the mine where the men were
imposed to be some time before mid
night. There is very little hope ex-
pressed that any of the entombed
miners will be found alive.
Three bodies, mutilated beyond
recognition, have been recovered from
the mine. The rescuers are now with
in a few feet Of the bottom but there
is not the remotest chance that any
Of the men will be recovered alive.
A man who witnessed the explosion
tonight said that a mass OF flames
shot forth from the mouth Of the
shaft, which is almost six hundred
feet deep, and with the debris that
came out there were hats, caps, din
ner buckets and other effects Of the
miners. iS. 1.
From what has been learned tonight
there is not the least doubt but that
the mine was completely wrecked.
AT the mouth Of the shaft the wives,
mothers and children are standing
about, some Of them not having left
since yesterday when the explosion
occurred. They are urging the
rescuers forward hoping against hope
that their loved ones may be still
alive. 81 s.ss5
