THIRTEEN MORE BODIES
 RECOVERED FROM MINE
Thirty-seven Miners Owe Their Lives to Trapper
 Boy and Fire Boss.

" Eccles, w. Va., May Rescue crews last night assembled thirteen bodies at the foot of the shaft in Mine No. 5 of the New River Coal company, and today continued their work of exploration in the hope of locating all of the 172 men who it now seems certain lost their lives in the explosion last Tuesday afternoon.
 Pumps were kept going during the night and by dawn the mine was com- paratively free of water. The force of the explosion was so great that masses of earth and rock were dis lodged and the galleries choked. It may be days before the dead have been recovered.
 Thirty-seven miners employed in Mo- 6 when the explosion occurred, owe their lives to the courage of lit tie Davy Buckhannon, trapper boy, and the resourcefulness of the fire boss. A. F. Burdiss Davy heard the explosion in No. 5, and like all min CTS, knew the afterdamp would soon sweep the workings of No. 6. With out thought of himself and not know ing how soon the dust in No. 6 would let go, he ran along the gallery, shouting warning at the mouth of every room. The men ran to the main entry, where the fire boss quickly gathered them in the under ground storehouse. There he dis tributed brattice cloth, and directing them to a room far from the entry connecting with No. 5, showed them how to build a wall that would shut out the gases. After three hours of anxious waiting, the imprisoned men were found by rescue party headed by Supt. Thomas Donaldson, who pi- Ioted them to safety.

BALTIC HOTEL RAzED
 TO GROUND BY FIRE Noted Wayside Inn of Nine teenth Century Totally
 Demolished.

Baltic, Conn.,, May 1.-The Baltic hotel, noted wayside inn during the early eighteen hundreds, was practi- cally gutted by fire early today, caus- ing loss estimated at about $6,50O. The building was three story struc- ture. The fire started on the second floor near the chimney and spread rapidly before it was discovered.
 Only four persons were in the place beside John Barry, who con- ducted the hotel, and his wife, and all got out safely. The only thing saved from the fire was large American flag, which one of the boarders, re- calling it after he had rushed out of the building, darted back and res- cued.
 The street floor was occupied by a saloon conducted by Barry, the hotel proper being on the second floor with additional sleeping rooms on the third. On the latter also was large hall which in later years had been used for lodge purposes. In this hall the local lodge of Odd Fellows had about $500 worth of paraphernalia stored and all of tins was destroyed
 The building was owned by For mer State Rep. Raymond J. Jodoin, whose home, standing close to the burned hotel, was threatened with destruction. The firemen were able to confine the flames to the burning building, however. On the other side of the hotel stood the Academy of the Holy Family, a wooden building, a chapel and close beside it a hand some brick convent which had just been built. A slight shift in the wind would have blown the flames onto these buildings.
 When the fire was at it's height a call for help was sent to Norwich, and the automobile apparatus from that city responded, making the run from Norwich to Baltic, between eight and nine miles, in about twelve min- utes. Just as the apparatus reached the scene one of its tires burst.

 had just closed his cafe, rushed into
 the house and learned of the assault.
