State Department viii Take Charge Of
Mine When Recovery Work Is Done.

Pittsburg, Dec. 1.-The squeaking
iron bucket, operated in the 500 foot
shaft leading to the Rachel and Agnes
mines of the Pittsburg and Buffalo
Coal company at Mariana, Pa, since
last Saturday, when terrific explosion
in the mines wrecked the up-to-date
elevator in the shaft and snuffed out
the lives Of 120 miners or more, has
carried to the surface the bruised,
mangled and burned remains of more
than 100 of the victims of the disaster.
The most reliable count of the
bodies recovered is 10, two-thirds Of
which have been identified. The gen.
eral belief is that not many more
bodies would be found
James r. Roderick, head of the state
department of mining, said that from
data furnished him by the company
and reports from his six deputy inspec-
tors, he did not believe the death list
would exceed 120
When recovery work is finished he
will take charge of the mine, investi.
gate the cause of the disaster and fix
responsibility therefor if possible.
81 have good reports from the six
deputies who have been working with
the rescuers," he said, but will not
attempt to assign a cause from these
reports. ] can say. however, that
nothing could have given the state
department greater surprise than an
explosion in the mine at this time"
Mr. Rod rick said this disaster and
the serie # last winter would form
the text OF communication to the leg
islature next January urging sweep
ing changes in the state mining laws.

East Buffalo Live Stock Market.


There was not enough live stock
here of any kind to make market.
The few consignments of cattle, hogs.
sheep and calves that were made,
were received in the quarantine sec
tion, or taken direct to the packing
houses for immediate use. There was
but light number of butcher cattle
here. and nothing extra to speak OF,
most of them going at last weeks
firm prices. A light number of Can
ada lambs here We're purchased at a
shade higher, also the few hogs re-
ceived were taken at strong prices by
the local butchers All cattle OF any
kind from the different sections should
be shipped in disinfected cars and
sealed under federal supervision.
II Is expected that everything Will
be in tip-top shape at this market to
do business as usual. Consignments
made at East Buffalo will be well TAX.

District Attorney Pease was present
when Bavori made his confession at
the time he was duped into talking
when he was being sworn into the
Black Hand society rs one of is men,
bers. This confession was dwelt upon
by the district attorney for consid.
cradle time. Then he told how Ba-
vori pointed out the place where the
bodies were buried and what means
WAS employed in forcing him to d-
vulge the information.
A. B. McFall of this city was the
first witness called to the stand and
his testimony was very direct, al
though 1t had no particular signifi.
cence as to who the guilty party In
the series OF murders might be. After
the bodies were recovered Mr.. McFall
was hired by the county to draw Il
map Of the Bavori truck garden, de.
signaling the location Of the house,
the pig pen, the fences and the vege.
table cellar where the three bodies
| were hidden and also the place where
the body of Joe Miuichellio WAS
found later. This information will
prove valuable to the jury In assisting
them In arriving at their concl usions,
As none Of the men had personally y
been on the ground. In the OK.

how Bavori could have murdered
three Of his victims In the bedroom
and the route lie could have taken to
bury them.

More "Good" Whiskey.

Considerable satisfaction is felt in
pure food circles here at the result
Of the Attorney Generals decision IN
the ease relating to internal revenue
regulations, and the branding OF casks
and barrels containing spirits. 1t IS
believed that as a result o 1t there
will be much more extensive knowl-
edge on the part of consumers OF splr-
its as to what they are drinking than
ever before. 1t is believed also that
the decision will cut off the plan
Ahich had been followed by distillers
of branding a great quantity of bot
tied in bond spirits as whisky not
withstanding that they had been re-
duced to proof and are merely alco-
hol.
Hundreds of thousands Of gallons
Of neutral spirits have been placed IN
storage in wood since the decision OF
Mr.. Bonaparte last spring it is stated
with the intention Of leaving the splr-
its there for four years and then bot
ting them as whisky under the reg
ulations Of the internal revenue law
as heretofore construed. Under the
new decision, this will not be possible
as only distillages of grain contain
ing not only alcohol, but the eongen-
erie products will be branded whisky
henceforth.

Harris Appointed,

Governor Blanchard has decided
upon the appointment Of I. 0. Har-
ris, his present private secretary as
Travelling Auditor of the State, and
also decided upon the appointment
Of Vernon Porter, son Of Judge Por-
ter. Of Natchitoches, as his private
seeretarys This information is not
official, and, Of course, could mot be
verified in an official way, but it is
believed to be correct. There has
been report current for some time
that Governor Blanchard contemplat-
cd the appointment Of 7. O. Harris
as Travelling Auditor Of the State.
This report was first circulated when
Mr.. Harris perhaps saved the meas
nre from defeat by urging some Of
his friends in the House to support
it. Mr.. Harris is New Orleans and
Shreveport newspaperman, and has
been the efficient private secretary
to Governor Blanchard since the gov
ernor began his administration. Yer
non Porter, who is reported slated
for the position Of private secretary
to Governor Blanchard, to succeed Mr.
Harris. is at present at Yale Univer-
sity studying law. Before he went
to Yale he was assistant private see
retary to Governor Blanchard, and is
we'll acquainted with the details of
the Executive Office work.

Adiutanp General Stafford stated
that the affairs of the National
Guard are III satisfactory condition.
He inquired particularly about the
condition of Euclid Broussard, the
Young man who was hurt while fir
ing a salute here on Jan. s. Young
Broussard was able to leave his bed
and is doing as we'll as could be ex
peeted. The report of the accident
has been sent through the regular mil
itary channels to the office Of the
.Adfutant General and the matter will
be taken up officially in the near fu-
ture. Broussard is one of the few
members Of the State National Guard
receiving injuries under act ISL OF
1904, which provides a pension, the
same as that allowed by the national
government to be paid from state
funds not otherwise appropriated and
provided for in section 81 Of the
State military law, upon the warrant
of the Adjutant General. Under the
law there is no doubt that Broussard
will be pensioned, as he was discharg-

Three Entombed Men.

Ely, Nev.-Solid ground was reach
ed in the Alpha shaft in the 1000
foot level in which three miners have
been entombed since December 4. The
timbers which had fallen from above
were wedged in the shaft holding back
the debris and leaving an opening
large enough for the rescuers to crawl
through. They descended on a ladder
to point 76 feet below the mouth
of the shaft. The opening extended
farther but just how far is not
known. The ladder broke end this
prevented further exploration. Mine
Foreman McAfee descended to with
in 80 feet Of the 1000 foot level,
where he found solid ground.
1t is now believed the men will be
released within thirty-six hours. 1t
is rumored that one of the entombed
men has lost his mind, the cause be-
ing the receipt of letter announcing
the death of his mother.

Deadlock Unbrokell.

Frankfort, Ky.-The senatorial
deadlock remained unbroken, the on
ly change in the ballot being the re-

Republicans cast their sixty-four
votes solidly for former Gov. Bradley,
and former Gov. Beckham again re-
ceived sixty-six votes. notwithstand-
ing the production by his opponents
that he would be unable to hold his
vote together.
Claims for and against Beckham s
election continue to se made, ual
nothing has developed thus far to
indicate any immediate change in the
contest.
It looks like hopeless deadlock
unless the Republicans and anti
Beckham Democrats can unite on
some Democrat other than Beckham.
