ABOUT 400 DEAD

Monongah, w. Va, Dec. But b3
bodies had been recovered from mines
Nos. and 8 of the Fairmont Coal com
pany when darkness closed over the
little town of Monongah last night
Fifty-six hours had elapsed since the
awful explosion and majority of the
bodies brought to the surface were in
terrible condition, necesstating almost
lmm Mediate burial. 1t is now believed
that the number Of dead will not be
over 400.
Clarence Hall of Washington, gov
eminent mine expert, has arrived at
Monongah. With Chief Mine Inspec-
tor Paul of West Virginia, Hall spent
the entire day at the mines. He will
remain here until he can make thor
ough investigation Of the disaster and
will then return to Washington to re-
port to the government.

Heartrending scenes and incidents
crowded fast, one upon the other, in
this sorely afflicted mining community
yesterday. Funeral professions were
in sight in all directions during the en-
tire day. On the way to the cemetery
these solemn little professions were
constantly meeting and passing vehicles
coming from the mines laden with the
bodies of other victims en- route to the
morgue. there to be placed in baskets
and prepared for another series of flu
nerals.
Monongah, W. Va, Dec. 1.-THE

Friday morning and there remain only

When darkness fell last evening al
bodies had been brought to the surface,
while many more had been located.
The bringing out of bodies. a distance
of mile or more through the under
ground workings, is tedious on account
Of meagre facilities. and considera ble

Unusual Occurrence at Ferry Slip.

AS the ferry steamer Woodbury. was
leaving the slip at this city on one of her
trips yesterday afternoon, large fish was
noticed struggling in the dock as If in
jured Gateman Underwood, with dip
net took the fish from the water and found
it to be a strawberry bass weighing about
two pounds, with its mouth and about half
it's head cut off as neatly as If done with
a sharp knife. 1t is supposed that just as
the boat left the slip, the fish was in such a
position as to receive blow from one Of
the blades of the rapidly turning propeller
its head, disabling it so that it could be
easily caught. The fish was sent to Capt
Underwood's home and was portion OF his
supper last evening.
Old rlvermen say that this is the first time
they ever heard of a fish being killed by the
wheel of a steamboat. Such occurrences are
time when the river is fairly alive with the

Cruise of Revenue Cutter Apache.

The revenue cutter Apache has just COM
pleted a cruise on Chesapeake bay, during
which she visited about forty ships en-
ployed in oyster dredging, and aboard them
the officers of the cutter went to ascertain
how the crews were being treated and II
the men had any complaints to make.
Everybody in the feet was satisfied with
the food and treatment. Such, 1t Is pointed
out, is in great contrast to conditions that
formerly existed in the oyster dredging fleet
on the bay, and Is the result of a vigorous
enforcement Of new antj-shanghaiing laws
by the officers Of the Apache.
The officers of the Apache learned OF the
predicament of the schooner James A. Gar
field, which went ashore on Gwynn's Is
land in gale February n, when the cutter
called at Solomon's Island for her mail.
She made q hurry run to the island, but
the schooner had been fioated by tug only
q few hours before the Apache arrived.
BEFORE the Apache starts on another
cruise on the bay she Is to receive minor
repairs, and will not be given q general
oyerhaulng until the winter cruising sea-
son Is over, at the end OF this month.
