800 BODIES RECOVERED
FROM M0N0NGAH MINES.
Company's Census Shows Eighteen EN-
ployees Still Missing-state
Begins Inspection.

MONoNGAH, w. Va. Dec. 13.-State
Mine Inspector Paul. of West Virginia, is
making a thorough examination of mines
Nos. 8 and s today. Until Mr.. Paul con-
cludes Ills investigation all other work at
the mines has been suspended.
Explorations we're stopped last night. AZ
which time a total of 800 bodies had been
recovered.
The census taken by the company shows
that 1888 men are missing, which leaves
eighteen bodies still in the mines. With a
few expections 1t Is believed by the Of
ficials that these figures constitute the
actual number OF miners killed. In add
ton, however, there are a number of con-
tractors and men hired by the contractors
believed to have been in the mines when
the explosion occurred.
Mr.. Paurs examination will probably
be completed tonight, when a force of men
will begin to clear away the debris in
both mines caused by falls.
IT will be several days before the exact
death list will be known. Coroner u. S.
Ames announced today that the inquest
would begin Tuesday. Many experts will
give testimony and the Investigation will
probebly last a week.

Z to Garbage Ordinance.

Board of Works members yesterday
afternoon talked side walks, and a long list
OF numbers and streets were read off, indi-
eating that h sidewalk inspectors had
found over 100 bad sidewalks in various
parts of the city which needed repairing.
commissioner Egsers was of the opinion
chat the inspectors were using poor judg-
ment.
There arc surely some good walks in
this city, and l don't think that our citi-
xens shohld be annoyed by unnecessary
COMMUNICATIONS he said.
Electrical Engineer Joseph Crawford re-
ported that teamsters using Bridge street
IN the vicinity OF Mulberry street, are in
the habit CT holding up trolley cars, and
said that he had reported tina matter
IL the police and had obtained a promise
III relief.
Property owners on South Fourteenth
ftreet, between Orange street and Central
avenue, asked that that street be paved.
ahis question has been hanging fire for
years, according TO Commissioner Eggers.
Every time we took action on this
Street said the commissioner, somebody
has come here and objected. Some wanted
brick. others asphalt, and they could not
Agree. Now / will not vote for this mat
Ter at All" The petition was tabled.
Property owners on Napoleon street
asked that thst ~thoroushfare be perman-
Entity improved With bitulithic pavement.
The petition was placed on file.
Commissioner Thomas Halpln brought up
the question eft trolley congestion at the
Pennsylvania depot, in Market street. He
said that instead OF sending the cars
around the regular loop at this point the
cars returned west on Market street and
thus caused a general tleup at Mulberry
street and at Broad and Market streets.
1t was decided to discuss this matter at
= conference TO be held later with the troll
Icy officials.
President Denman OF the board suggest
81 that at this conference the Police Com
mission. police judges and the chief of
police be invited.
An amendment was tackled on to the

passed. viii compel residents using garbage
or ash cans to place the same within three
feet OF the stoop line on days when gar
hagc or ashes are to be collected. In the
central part of the city, IL the garbage

ton and the other arm the Beargutter and
the Rye pond section.
The new dam will back the water Of the
Kensico reservoir up into Rye and Little
Rye ponds. The water from these ponds
finds its way into the Kensico reservoir
now through an open channel about a
mile and a half long.
The Rye ponds are about fifty feet higher
than the Kensioo reservoir. but the new dam
will raise their flow line fully fifty feet.
The two Rye ponds now cover about $50
acres. The present water system in West
chester county has a storage capacity OF
only about 100000 gallons.
According TO the engineers figures about
2,250 acres OF Westchester county will be
flooded by the new lake. This will, Of
course. include the land now under water.
Altogether the city will have to acquire
about 5000 acres.
In the island alone, which is now the top
Of a hill between the Beargutter and an
other stream, will be 400 acres. OF the
three peninsulas which will jut out into the

The resemblance to a vessel never fails to
deceive everybody who sees the rock for

1t was named Sail Rock by the earliest

resemblance to a ship. They also speak

Another fact that serves to keep up the
illusion to the last moment 10, as all the
passengers are told, that the opening In
the reef is rather difficult to enter and q
pilot comes out to take the vessel In. While
the passengers are gazing and speculating
some bright person OF course sugsests
that this is the pilot boat coming out, and
everybody adopts the idea as explaining
the true mission OF the strange craft. They
are not aware that, among those sleepy
islands, nobody is on the lookout for ships,
which call only at intervals. and the pilot
usually has TO be summoned by the boom
of the ships cannon.
But the lookout has his joke, and life ID

excitement over a bit OF Pacific coral.

tell you the thinks It is a ding-ding shame
that he can't even fish In the pond now with
out getting a permit from COMMISSIONS
O'Brien.
What the cost OF the new storage reser-
voir will be hasn't been determined with
any very great deiniteness yet. II Is esti-
mated that the big dam at valhalla and the
dyke on the west side OF the lake will cost
about $1,000, 900. IL will cost the city at
least $500. 900 more TO rebuild the highways
that will be destroyed and construct new
bridges.
There are two roads which will be put
out Of business, n on the west and the
other on the east side of the lake. The
city will have to construct a road on the
west side Of the lake from Valhalla 70
ATmonk, a distance Of four miles. 1t is
planned now to build the roads on the
300 foot strip Of land which the city will
acquire along the waterfront.
One OF the good things which Westchester
county folks think they can see in the dim
future is a big driveway around this lake,
a distance Of twenty-five or thirty miles.
This driveway would connect at Valhalla
with the Bronx Parkway. which is proposed
in a bill now before the Legislature.
This parkway. according to the present
