nel House.
> Charleston, W . Va., Feb. I . — The
bodies of nine i f the victims of Tues­
day’s explosion were brought to the
surface today. The bodies were brought
op by Edward Pickney, inspector of
the mine, and Kolm Absalom, district
mine inspector, who were the first to
go down.
Their search was one oj
great peril.
The men remained in tbe shaft for
three hours, and found it a veritable
charnel-house. Mutilated bodies oov
•red the bottom of the shaft so thickly
that the two rescuers found it impossi­
ble to move about without stepping on
them.
They counted 26 bodies, but
after sending np nine were so exhaust­
ed that the others wsre allowed to re­
main until the cage is pot in working
order.
Sixteen more bodies were recovered
late tonight Tbe entries w ill be pen­
etrated tomorrow in an effort to recover
a ll the remaining bodies.
I t is now
regarded as certain that no one in tbe
mine a t the tim e of the explosion es­
caped.
Tbe body of John Quack was taken
from tbe shaft in the backet and tbe
coroner’s inquest w ill probably be on
