RESCUERS ENTER MINE
RECOVERY OF CoRPsEs OF VIC
TINS OF DISASTER HAS BEGUN
AT ECCLES.

Eccles, W. Va, April 90.-Carrying
with them Gagged canaries to serve as
gas barometers, rescue workers today
reached the shaft bottom of the New
River Galleries company's explosion
wrecked mine No. and came at once
upon five corpses.
Evidently the victims had reached
the bottom Of the shaft in an attempt
to escape. hey were suffoeated and
lay in heap where the water was
knee deep.
News that the rescue party had sue
ceeded in reaching the bottom OF the
shaft safely led to the expression OF
hopes that some of the workers in the
mine at the time of the explosion were
still alive, but DIR. Holmes of the bur-
eau of mines said he thought it highly
improbable and questioned the wisdom
of encouraging the victims relatives
by holding out false hopes.
The bodies of the eight men who
perished in No. mine were buried this
afternoon.

EVILS CAN BE PERSUADED TO
BE MAILED.

An information gatherer of Wash
ington state evidently is under the i'm.
preston that evils can be shipped out
of Oregon by mail. He writes Secre-
tary of State Olcott as follows:
"Please send me by mail the evils that
exist under your plan of government. +"
The secretary Of state, obliging the
writer to the best Of his ability, turns
the letter over to the state library
commission with the following instruc-
tions: "If you can ship the evils out
of the state we will be greatly
obliged" The candidates for governor
refuse to be shipped which handicaps
the secretary badly.

FRIDAY RUSH WILL END
PRIMARY REGISTRATION

Registration so far has been excep-
tionally slow considering the fact that
the books close Friday evening at 5
clock, according to the clerk in the
county clerks office who presides over
the registration department. Although
there has been a short line of wait
ing voters each afternoon, the number
is small in comparison with the rush
to register last fall on the day before
the books closed. 1t is expected that
Friday viii see the biggest rush of the
present registration season.

Colonel Astor IS second wife.
The ceremony was performed in the
library at the southwest corner Of the
mansion which Huntington erected here
five years ago. The room is mag
nificent square chamber paneled with
dark oak II opens to the south into
a conservatory and on the north into
what the Huntingtons call the "long

The decorations were orchids and
spring flowers from the Huntington
estate.
Reporters and photographers were
barred from the grounds by Sheriff
Fred Hornbeck and five deputies.
The honeymoon plans were not ain
nounced. 1t was practically certain,
however, that they intended to board
young Astor's yacht for tour of
European ports. The yacht, the Mona,
with a crew of 45, was ready for the
trip.
Elaborate Wedding Abandoned.
Astor was downstairs today for the
fourth time since his recent illness.
An elaborate wedding at st. Margaret g
Episcopal church had been arranged
but Astors sudden illness forced the
Huntingtons to abandon their plans.
Astor developed an abcess on the lungs
while visiting Miss Huntington a month
ago and for a time his condition was
so serious it was feareo the wedding
would have to be delayed.
1t was supposed that Vinvent fol
