one entertains the slightest hope that
any of the 13S or more men who were
entombed in the Rachel and Agnes
mines of the Pittsburg- Buffalo coal
company at Mariana, Pa, by yesterdays
explosion are still living, the search
of the various workings goes on with
the greatest possible energy. But one
living survivor has so far been taken
out.
Because of gas and other dangers. it
will, in all probability. be several days
before the last room is opened.
Twenty-Five bodies were brought to
the surface today Many of them have
not been identified because OF burns or
other mutilation and some or them may
never be positively recognized.
