PITTSBURG, Nov. 3O.-Eighty-
two bodies have been recovered so
far from the Mariana mine of the
Pittsburg- Buffalo Coal Co. This
evening 30 more bodies had been lo-
Gated and will be brought to the SUR
face tonight. Twenty-threc Ameri-
cans are among the victims who have
been identified to this time.

the names of 13O miners whom they
knew were i'm the mine at the time
of the explosion and he does not be-

number.
The work of identifying the bod
les is going on slowly. Nearly 200
frantic women and children are lined
up i'm front of the morgue this even
ing waiting their turn to claim their
dead.
II is possible that the exact num-
ber of men killed will never be
known. Arms, legs or heads were
missing from some. and the trunks
of others were burned, bruised and
cut.
Some of the men had been suifO-
Gated and their bodies were not even
scratched. One of these was John
will, a cousin of John II. Jones, pres
ident of the Pittsburg- Buffalo Coal
Co, owners of the mine. who was
head timekeeper. His body was
found b>neath coal digging ma
chine and il was apparent that the
man had crawIed there i'm an effort
to escape the deadly fumes.
The body of the other man was
found near will. The unfortunate
had placed his face I'm a pool of wa

do when an explosion occurs, in
desperate attempt % fight off suffoca-
tion until rescued.

TO PREVENT PAYMENT.

Formal protest was filed yesterday
with the clerk of the board of COM
missioners by Attorney F. Y. Mur-
ply against the making of any pay
ment for reindexing of county rec
ords. This action was taken by the
attorney to head off allowance of a
bill for work to date which it was
reported would be put through at the
present session of the board.
In connection with the fight Mr..
Murphy is making in this matter for
the benefit of the tax payers. il is
but fair to state that he is going
ahead without financial assistance
other than he has drawn from his
own private resources. Opposite be-
lief that may have grown from any
statement of the case made in the
press of the district is incorrect.

decided to permit the institution to

Trust Co had proved too severe a
strain and also that the new officers
have been embarrassed in their eff
forts to obtain new capital by MEM
bers of the former management.
John J. Jenkins, Jr., who was
president of the jenkins Trust Co.,
is now on trial in Brooklyn on the
charge of grand larceny. Officers of
the bank say the depostors will be
paid in full.
