been learned that there may be more

DU QUOIN. Ill. Jan. 11.-With
the recovery of additional bodies. 1t
is thought all the victims of yester-
days explosion in the Letter coal
mine are accounted for Four of the
victims were negroes, four Americans
and Ii were foreigners OF "a men
working in the mine. only three es-
capped. The explosion was unexpect-
ed.
An expert who had been expert
menting with gases in the mines at
Zeigler left Wednesday confident
that he had placed the mine in safe
condition to be operated.
The men entombed were engaged
in clearing away the debris caused
by the recent fires in the mine. and
it was expected that operations
would be resumed this week. after
two months suspension.
The bodies taken from the mine
are badly burned and Identification
is difficult.
The explosion was peculiar. No
noise or shock was heard at the
opening of the mine-only pun of
smoke was noticeable. The engineer
noticed the smoke and realizing that
an accident had happened, summoned
aid
The mine had recently been on fire
and the flames had been sealed and
confined to workings which were not
in the vicinity of the present explo-
sion
Mrs. Letter aided her husband in
queting the wives and orphans who
crowded about the mine. She fur
nished coffee and sandwiches to the
men attempting to rescue the bodies.
The day was bitter cold, but Mrs.
Letter was foremost in comforting
the widows.
The coroner has adjourned a hear
ing until tomorrow. The mine was
put in operation in 1903 and soon
labor troubles began. In April. 1905,
an explosion in the mine killed 81
men.
TIE interior of the mine was not
damaged nor were the top works.
and there is scarcely any trace of the
explosion which proved most deadly
to the men working below.
Joseph Husband. an intimate
friend of Mr.. Letter, who has been
the latter's guest for the past week,
was overcome and with considerable
difficulty revived.

DETROIT, Mich. Jan. 1.-THE
information of the attempt at suicide
of Rev. John Carmichael was receiv-
ed here this morning. The officers
have not yet decided as To course
that will be pursued with regard to
the wife of the murderer of Brown
ing. as Carmichael is now generally
considered to be She is under sur
veilanee and it is probable that she
will be placed under arrest as an ac-
complice in the crime.
The news of the location and at
tempted suicide of Carmichael ere
ated much of a sensation this morn
ing. this being none lessened by the
later news of his death. While the
police have been confident for sew
eral days that Carmichael was the
murderer and not the murdered man,
they had nothing definite upon which
to base this belief until the word
was received today from Carthage,
it having been found utterly impossi-
BILE to identify the charred remains
found in the stove of the Columbus
Methodist church.
The cause of the terrible crime
committed by Carmichael still re-
mains a mystery. All the efforts of
the officers to this time to trace ill
feeling or other reason for the MUIR
der have been in vain. The note left
by Carmichael In which he alleges
that the crime was committed while
he was under hypnotic influence of
his wife is by most thought to be
nothing more than the utterance of
man who had become crazed over
reflection upon the horror of his
deed The police have no one to
turn to, however. other than Mrs
Carmichael for solution of the mys-
terry Since the news of the death of
her husband she has been in state
of nervous prostration and 1t may
be several days before her condition
will permit of her examination.

his place at Colma with record
breaking crowd. There have been
many great pugilistic encounters
pulled off in the Golden Gate city
during the past ten or fifteen years,

lie interest han the battle to be pulled
off tomorrow. On the streets and in
restaurants, clubs and other places
where sporting men congregate, the
proves of the two fighters and the
probable result of their meeting form
the sole topic of conversation. A
large number of fight followers from
outside points are arriving in the city
and the indications are that some big
bets on the result will be wagered
between now and the hour fixed for
the beginning of the battle.

place with the issuance of "A Declar-
alton and Address, which was pub
lished by Thomas Campbell Septem-
Der Z, 1909, on behalf of THE Chris
tian Association of Washington, Pa,
an organization composed of members
of different churches, who proclaimed
it to be their aim to practice that
simple original form of Christianity,
expressly exhibited upon the sacred
page, without attempting to inculcate
anything of human authority, of pri-
vate opinion, or inventions or men as
having any place in the constitution,

church; or anything as matter of
Christian faith or duty for which
there can not be expressly produced

lack of condition to fall back upon.
Since the present match was made
Johnson has INDUCED in the only
training he has done since he won
the title from Tommy Burns in Aus
tralia last December. The fact that
he saw fit to prepare himself for
Ketchel and not for Kaufman shows
that, despite his statements to the
contrary he is not inclined to under
estimate the proves of the big Mich
igander.
Since his recent return from the
east Ketchel has been training faith
fully and from all appearances he is
in fine fettle. Instead of reducing as
he did for is previous fights he has
allowed himself to take on weight
so that the difference in avoirdupois
between him and the big black man
will not be so great when they climb
into the ring as is normally the case
Johnson's advantage in weight over
Ketchel will probably not exceed
twenty pounds.
While ketchel has a greater num-
Der of we'll Wishers, it is a different
thing when it comes to betting money.
The wise ones find it difficult 20
figure out where Ketchel has much
better than a 5-tO-1 show. His only
chance. in the opinion of the experts,
will be to mix it up from the start
and take a chance on getting a deci-
sive blow. Johnson, on the other
hand. is past master in the art of
stalling and may be counted upon to
do his best at keeping the Michigan
boy at a distance the whole twenty
rounds.
a few of the wiseacres of the sport
ing brigade, however, and among
whom are many of the old-time pug
lists, say Johnson is only good on
the surface and will be unable to
stand a gruelling contest But fol-
lowers of the black champion just
smile at this, and simply say they
have the money to back their men.
