MANY BODIES FOUND.
Thirty-One Taken From Mine in
Which Explosion Occurred.
NO SIGN OF LIFE ANYWHERE
Said the Death List viii Be Increased
to Forty or Fifty When the Res
cuers Succeed in Reaching Remote
Sections of CoIiery.

Pittsburg, Dec. 4.-Thirty-one of
the miners caught by an explosion Of
firedamp Sunday night in the Naomi
mine of the United Coal company, To-
Gated near Fayette City, have been
reached by the rescuers. All were
dead and their bodies were burned
and charred almost beyond recogni-
tion.
The rescuers are now nearing the
end of the workings and they have
found no sign of life anywhere. In
the opinion of the owners of the mine
few, if any, more victims will be
found, but among miners and others
In the village there is firm belief
that the total number of victims is
between forty and fifty.
There are thirty-six entries in the
mine and until the last of these has
been searched the full extent of the
disaster will not be known. Because
of the accumulation OF gas the work
of rescue in the remote sections Of
the mine is greatly impeded.
A second explosion Is a constant
menace and every precaution is being
taken to avert such catastrophe.
Frenzied Women at Pit Mouth.
Scores of frenzied women constant
ly surround the pit mouth and the
special detail of officers has much
trouble in keeping them from inter
fering with the work Of the rescuers.
Many of these women would go down
the shaft and penetrate the workings
of the mine were they not restrained
by the officers.
A large force of physicians was hur-
ried to the scene Immediately follow
ing the first reports of the explosion.
So far their services have not been
needed for the men In the mine, but
they have not been idle. In fact they
have been in almost constant requisi-
tion on behalf Of the rescuers, who,
despite the fact that they work in
relays only a fraction of an hour, are
constantly being prostrated by the
fumes of gas A number of the res
cuers have been taken from the scene
in a serious condition.
The cause of the explosion has not
yet been ascertained. One theory is
that 1t resulted from the explosion of
blackdamp in an unused entry when
| a miner carrying an open lamp crossed
| the dead line" Another is that a
spark from the trolley line over which
cars are hauled from the workings to
the mouth of the shaft ignited a
| pocket of gas in the mine

Throughout its deliberations the
Jury practically stood at II to l for
acquittal until the final ballot, when
the lone Juror who was holding out
for some form of punishment, Juror
Julius H. Prigg, gave in and the ver-
dict of acquittal was agreed on.
Immediately after the jury deliv-
cred its verdict the court thanked
the jury for the manner In which 1t
had performed its duty and the jury
in turn, through its foreman, ex
pressed to the court and counsel its
thanks for the consideration and cour,

GUS CORDES IN GOOD
STANDING ONCE MORE

The Booze Commission held a
meeting yesterday afternoon, at
which it was decided to drop the
charges against Gus Cordes, proprie-
tor of the River Rhine saloon. Cordes
was charged with having attempted
to transfer his license without the
consent of the Board.
At the previous meeting Cordes
told the Board he could get the IL
cense re-transferred to him. and that
he would be good in the future. On
his showing yesterday that the re-
transfer had been made, the charges
were dropped.
The application of Y. Shimi2u for
Il saloon license at Hauula was re-
ferred to Inspector Fennell for re-
port.
