From there they will be hoisted to the

the burial of the victims. President
Earling today appointed a committee
to arrange relief for the destitute.
Thousands of people came to the
mine this morning. Special trains
bearing weeping relatives summoned
by telegraph arrived at the station and
heartrending scenes We're enacted as
they met other relatives and were told
the worst, which appears to be the only
possible outcome of the disaster.
Fire Again Raging in Mine.
Fire has broken out afresh in the
mine and fire engines and fire fighting
apparatus are being rushed here from
LaSalle on a special train. By order of
the mining experts and inspectors, af-
ter a conference with George S. Rice,
chief of the field work in the United
States geological survey, the main

of smothering the flames sufficiently to
permit fighting the fire when the spe-
cial engines arrive. The fire broke out
with great intensity after the rescue
workers and inspectors had thrice de-
scended into the shaft to the bottom.
While the men were searching for bod
les the flames suddenly started, the fire
pouring out of the stables, where the
original fire occurred. Water was
forced in but without effect. Workmen
hastened to the scene, the shaft was
covered with iron beams and a thick
layer of sand. All hope of further ex-
ploration of the mine was abandoned
and the experts believe it will be sew
eral days before any further effort to
reach the entombed miners can be
made.
Representatives of various charities
are here preparing to extend whatever
assistance the survivors of the mine
victims may. need. The mine workers.

PARIS WILDLY APPlAUDS
Verdict Of Acquittal in Celebrated
steinheil Case Meets Approval of
Populace-FinaI Scene in Court
Collapse of Defendant.

Paris, Nov. 15.-Mme Margherita
Steinheil was acquitted by jury at an
early hour Sunday morning of the
murder of her husband, Adolph Stein
he'll a noted painter, and her step
mother, Nine. Japy. The verdict was
rendered at IL: So a. M, after two and a
half hours deliberation, during which
the jury thrice summoned the presi-
dent of the court for explanations, thus
indicating that the original majority
was for conviction.
To some degree sentiment and "a
stuffytcrowded court room favored the
prisoner and the delayf caused much
apprehension. With the first appear
ance Of the jury, however, several
women were smiling, and an instructive
feeling of acquittal flashed thru the
court room.
A dramatic scene followed. The red
robed judges anu counsel filed in and
took their places. Every eye was rivet-
ed on the door thru which the prisoner
should enter, but she did not appear.
NJ. Devalles. the presiding judge,
turned to the jury and said:
The foreman arose and said: "On our
conscience we answer No to every
question"
A salvo, of "bravos" followed this
announcement and a perfect bedlam
broke loose. M. Aubin, counsel for
Nine, Steinheil, embraced his col
leagues.
Men and women in the rear Of the
hall jumped and screamed for joy. The
judge threatened to clear the court
room and when semblance of order
was restored he called: Bring in the
accused"
Fully two minutes passed before the
black robed figure, with a white face,
dropping on her breast, appeared In the
doorway, supported on either side by a
gend'rme The woman swayed and
seemed to have tainted, but in response
to q wild outburst of cheers she lifted
her head and looked about, smiling
family in acknowledgment. Then she
tottered forward and sank on the floor
beside the rail.
When the judge pronounced the ver-
dict, her faint murmur of thanks was
hardly heard. An instant after NJ. An
bin was over the rail lifting her in his
arms. The crowds Surged forward In a
solid wall, making the rafters ring with
cheers. Outside the gloomy court tens
Pof thousands, who had been waiting
for hours, took up the cry
Special editors of the papers spread
the news like wildfire thru the boule-
wards, where thousands more were
waiting in front of the cafes and the
same scenes of rejoicing were witnessed
| there.
After being assisted out Of the court
room Nine. Steinheil was conducted
from the building by one OF the numer-
Gus subterrannean passages. Where
she was taken is not known, but prob.
ably she was escorted back to st
Lazare prison, as the French procedure
requires the formality Of lifting the

Superintendent Bundy in the mean

dents came volunteers eager to as

Wild Scenes Of Sorrow.
Wild scenes of sorrow followed. AL
most every person of the towns pop
ulation of 5000 gathered about the
mine. The shrieks of the women were
heard thruout the town. Every physi-
clan, and many from nearby towns are
caring for the hysterical relatives of
those imprisoned. The mine, which Is
the only one here, employed almost a

the hours slip by grief is visibly en-

mourners and rescuers who wait above

torches.
Three times during Sunday the wet
ties over the main shaft were pulled
away to permit the descent of bucket
containing two members of the United
States geological survey These men
wore oxygen helmets, caps SO devised
as to supply them with fresh air amid
reekfng corridors. They carried power
full electric lamps with which to pierce
the Stygian darkness.
Air Thick With Smoke.
Each time after they had returned
to the upper air they reported that they
had seen no living being. The levels to
which they had pierced were blackly
dark, horribly silent. The air hung so
thick with smoke that their h~hts
shone only a few feet thru the fumes.
1t was impossible, they said. that any
of the buried miners could have lived
five minutes in such an atmosphere.
There is chance that some of the
men may have survived the fire, but
it is a slight one. The temperature of
the levels they visited, said the helmet
men, was only a few degrees above
normal. The fire. arp rently. either has
gone out entirely or is smoldering

The fact that no one could be found
in the works, that not even bodies
could be discovered, is taken by some
of the more optimistic of the walters
as an indication that the miners may
all have fed to the lower levels Of the
| mine, and that they are there now, safe
for the time being, waiting for the ar
rival of relief expeditions

there alone. Altho for an hour in the
midst of or near the mob. the court
held he did not seek to obtain informal
tion so that he could identify any of

The court in finding Shlpp guilty
copmented on a published interview
alleged to have been had with Ship.
The people of Hamilton county were
willing to let the law take its course
until 1t became known that the case
would not probably be disposed Of for
four Or five years by the su0reme court
of the United States" 1t quoted Shipp
as saying. But the people would not
submit to this. and l do not wonder at
it,"
Chief Justice Fuller in pronouncing
Shipp kuilty said that this reference
to people was significant. for he was
a candidate for reelection and had
been told that his saving the prisoner
from the first attempt to mob him
would cost him his place. and he had
answered that he wished the mob had
got him. before he did"
The court held that Gibson must
have believed a mob would attack the
Jail the night Johnson was lynched, but
before its arrival he made no effort
to summon assistance to repel the at

white prisoner to the effect that Glib
son told her before the mob arrived
that 1t was coming and for her to so
to her cell, was referred to.
Williams and Nolan participated In
the lynching. the court held upon the
strength of direct testimony to that

their guilt.
