DEAD TAKEN FROM MINE
Twenty-Six Bodies Are Recovered at

Estimate of Death List is StiII Be-

Strange Tale.

BLUEFIELD. w. Va. Jan. 13.-Rescue
crews worked necessarily all night at Lick
Branch coal mine, the scene of yesterdays
explosion, and at o'clock today twenty-six
bodies had been recovered. There is no
change in the estimate of dead, the num-
ber ranging from eighty-five to 100. Iden-
tifications proceeded slowly throughout the
night, as but few were present at the
morgue on account Of the cold.
1t is not likely that any more bodies will
be brought to the surface until late this
afternoon, although brattice and rescue
crews will work all day and into the night,
relaying every few hours with fresh forces
of men, who have volunteered from all
over the coal field. 1t was learned early
today that the company had ordered eighty
caskets and robes.
A carload of necessities were shipped to
the scene of the disaster today. James w.
Paul of Pittsburg, representing the United
States geological survey, is expected here
today with a number of assistants. West
Virginia mine inspectors are arriving at
the mine with every train, but they are
almost continually in the mine and all ef-
forts to talk with them concerning the
cause of the catastrophe are futile. One
of the most remarkable features of the ac-
cident rs the escape of Cleve Bowers, a
mine foreman, who crawled on hands and
knees from the mine while fire, smoke
and deadly gases belched forth over him
Bowers is the only man who reached the
surface alive and, although he lies in 8
| hospital with two broken ribs and other
| injuries. It is asserted today he will prob

HEAVY LOSS FROM COLD WAVE
Oklahoma Cattle Freeze on Range
Gas Break Causes Much
Suffering.

KANSAS CITY, Mo, Jan. lS.-Milder
weather prevailed in western Missouri. Kan
sas and Oklahoma today, with continued
fall of snow. The temperature had risen in
the past twenty-four hours and generally
was recorded above the zero mark. More of
less delay to railway traffic was expert
enced, however. and on the ranges. partic1-
larly in Oklahoma, a heavy loss OF cattle
by freezing was reported.
Thirty thousand people of Muskogee,
Wagner and Inola. Okl,, were without
fire today as result OF the breaking of
gas main at a point between Inola and
Claremore. The three towns mentioned
depend in a great measure upon the natural
gas for heating as well as lighting pur-
poses, and there consequently was much
suffering.
ST. LOUIS. Mo-, Jan. IA renewal OF
the snow fall in this sgction today caused
increased trouble TO railroad officials. AL
trains from the ives and southwest were
delayed from one to sis hours and suburban
traffic was also harnpered. Reports to the
local weather bureau showed the storm &c
be general over Missouri and Northern
Arkansas. Southeastern Illinois also wai
affected. the movement being TO the north

QUAKE COVERS NORTH ITALY
No Damage is Done, but the
TremOrs Throw People
Into Panic.

ROME. jan ia slight earthquake was
experienced at an early hour this morn
ing throughout Lombardy, Venetia and Tus-
cany. No damage was done and no one
was injured, but owing to the general un-
easiness resulting from the recent vista
tions in Calabria and Sicily the people
for a moment were thrown into condi-
ton bordering on panic.
According to the records of the obser-
vatories, and especially the establishment
maintained at Florence by the Jesuit
fathers, the center of the disturbance was
near Leimbach, Saxony.
The quake was strongest in Italy at
Trevisco. sixteen miles north of Venice.
Reisi. the birthplace of the present pope.
is located In this territory.
The first reports that came into Rome
were alarming and people feared a repeti-
ton Of the catastrophe OF December 2S; but
prompt use of the telegraph soon brought
out the fact that the shocks had not been
severe and that no damage or loss of life
resulted.

FATAL FIRE IN HIGGINS HOME
Mother of Railroad Magnate Killed
and other Members of Family
Badly Hurt.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. Jan. 1S.-In a fire
that destroyed the residence OF Samuel
Higgins, general manager OF the New York,
New Haven & Hartford railroad, here
early today his mother lost her life, his
mother-in-law, Mrs. M. E. Corbin, was
probably fatally hurt and his wife, daugh-
ter Isabel. his young son and Mr.. Higgins
himself barely escaped death by jumping
from a second-story window.
Mrs. and Miss Higgins suffered broken
legs and Mr. Higgins was badly bruised.
The young son. Harold, escaped without
injury A colored cook jumped from a
third-story window landing on the roof
of the veranda-
AS quickly as possible the injured per-
sons were removed to a nearby residence
and medical aid summoned. The cause of
the fire, it is said, was an overheated fur
mace Mr. Higgins was awakened by what
sounded to him like a stream OF running
water. In a moment, he says, he smelled
smoke and then realized that the house
was on fire. He rushed from his room to
that of his mother and endeavored to rouse
her by pounding on the door, but, owing to
her deafness, he thinks. she did not hear.
Mr.. Higgins, cropping through the smoke
and flames, rushed to each room, arousing
all the members Of the family. He had
hoped that his mother was up. He tried to
get back to her room, but the fire cut off
his way. 1t was then that the rest of the
family gathered at the window and
| Jumped for their lives.
The residence was on very high ground
and the consequent low water pressure
greatly hindered the firemen in their fight.
The house occupied by Benjamin Campbell,
a vice president of the New York, New
Haven g. Hartford railroad, took fire, but
| the flames were extinguished. The loss is
| estimated at $4,000

CAUCUS OF OPTION SENATORS
Some disappointment Expressed mt
BryRn's Attitude.
(From a Staff Correspondent

(From Staff Correspondent
LINCOLN, jan l8-(S Special County
option advocates Of the senate met In Sc
cret caucus last night to discuss ways and
means of getting through a county option
bill. All of the senators present pledged
themselves to secrecy regarding the action.
The following were present:
King of Polk, Brown and Miller OF Lam
caster, Wiltse OF Cedar. Cox of Hamilton
Rardall OF Wayne, Bodinson Of Buffalo,
Warren OF Phelps, Gammill OF Gosper
This meeting is considered OF import
ancs in view of the fact that some OF tho
county option advocates are reported to
have become weakened because Mr..
Bryar has given them no instructions to
pass a county option bill.
II is reported on good authority, and
the information comes from an advocate
OF county option, that Mr. Bryan's atti-
tude on the liquor question Is a great dis
appointment to the option members of
the Legislature and this element has failed
TO receive any encouragement at his
hands.
The question will be put up 20 him
squarely and he will be forced to show his
hand either for or against the bill-or may
he go away for awhile.

NO BASIS FOR INVESTIGATION
Senators Say TilIman's Act Not a
Violation of Law-May
Balk Inquiry.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-Senators who
have given consideration to the demand
made by Senator Tillnan for an investiga-
tion OF the senate of charges made by
President Roosevelt In connection with the
senator's attempt to procure Oregon lands
incline to the belief that there is no Ques-
ton before the senate for an inquiry ex-
cept as to whether Mr.. Tillman was frank
with his colleagues in discussing the case
The opinion is held generally that even
II the charges made by the president were
true the act OF Mr.. Tillman was not q
violation of law. No member OF the com,
mittee on privileges and elections is in
clined to present a resolution calling for
an investigation and II one is introduced
It is likely that Senator Tillman himself
will be the author. His friends, however,
are determined to advise him against in
sistence upon his request for an inquiry.
WASHINGTON, Jan. l2-Answerlng u
reference by Senator Tillman in his speeel,
yesterday to an incident of several years
ago, when Mrs. Charles Minor Morris was
elected from the White House. Secretary
Loeb today made public letters from Mrs.
Morris son, l.. T. Highleyman Of ST. Louis,
and Francis ]. A. Barr of Somerset. N j.,
bearing on Mrs. Morris actions. The letter
from Darr, addressed to the president un-
der date OF September p, says:
II am writing you my amende honorable
for a great mistake made three years
ago"
This refers to Darr's belief expressed at
that time that Mrs. Morris had suffered
great wrong in her ejectment. The letter
from Highleyman, referring to Mrs. Nor
ris, says
