Ing from the air course, and not knowing the cause immediat:ly shut down the fan. He fAld just what he should have done, and had the miners not lingered wo long at the fire, trying to put it out, they would all have been saved, but ths smoke surrounded them and before they were aware of it they wery overpowered and smother:d. All those who were 200 and 300 feet up in the breast had time to clinb down to the gangway and some of them escaped and reached the surface, not experiencing the slightest unpleasant sensa- tion. One of the men who stopped with the others at broast 62, seeing the danger he aras in, and started to run for the main slope, shouting to his companions, ‘Come on, you'll mot gel out.’ ‘But they lingered and five minutes later thirty-seven men wifre dead. ““George W. Smalley was the first man to g0 down into the slope after the fire was yeported. He answered to my call for volun- teers and he and three others soon brought up the firet body, that of John Q. Anderson Previous to this time no one knew how ser- Eul the accident was, but whes the dead gan to arrive the volce or tha people la- snenting for their beloved ores was terrible to hear. | again asked for volunt:ers and weveral whites and blacks responded. They went lown and worked diligently, bringing men to the top of the slope, while others who had gone from the south side were bringing them along the gangway. The excitement fncreased every time a body was brought up and recognized. At one time four bodies Wwere brought up at one time anl such a lamentable noise of weeping women and men 1 hope I shall n:ver have to hear again.’ As soon as the dead arrived at the sur- face, Superintendent Ramsay had another party carry them to the old engine room, where they were laid in rows on the floor, the thirty-seven stalwart bodies covering almost every inch of space. The sight was one that chilled the people with horror. Thirty-seven men withoul a scratch on them, still dead. All' bad been lively and happy a few hours before, with their families, thelr friends, and little dreaming that death was near. The few who escaped upon reach- ing the surface were greeted with cries of joy, while all evening men are shaking each others’ hands, hapry that they were not among the dead. One man sald this evening: “I thought I had some enemies the other day, but I have none now. very man [ meet 1 feel is my friend. I'm so glad no more are dead.” PREPARING FOR THE FUNERAL. This evening all is quiet in the face of this awfid death. The dead have been prepared, clothed out and a man is now among the people seeing what disposition will be made of the bodies. Tomorrow men will dig the graves and the mext day there will be a tremendous funeral. All_day long the little telegraph office was bosieged with sorrowing people sending messages to relatives living in other parts of the country, notifying them of the grief which has so suddenly befallen them. The origin of the fire In breast 62 is supposed .0 be due to spontaneous com- bustion, caused by refuse and screeulngs in the bottom of the breast slacking and catching fire. The mine was never In a gafor condition, however, and it seems a mystery that the fire could have burst out and gained such headway so suddenly. It is suggested that possibly the fire has been burning for some time, perhaps two or thres days, and from a smouldering blaze it all at once became a burning furnace. Broast 62 Is about 300 feet high, and 18 now all on fire. The fire has also com- municated to breasts 60 and 61 of the same level and the fifth level is threat- ened. Superintendent Ramsay says that he will bulk the sixth level and perhaps the fifth fevel and hermetically seal them, thus shut- ting off the air and smothering the fire, The mine is troubled a good deal with black damp, but with the air supply shut off the black damp will form and soon put out the fire. It is believed that in three months the fire will have become c mpletely extin: guished. Men are still at work on the sixth level north, bulkheading the fire district, and though the fan is kept at work ty give the men air, the firo is aided just that much more for the time being, With the sixth level closed, about 1,900 feet of gangway and forty breasts will be rendered useless. The breasts formerly gave empl-yment to seventy men, Following s a list of bodles have been recovered: ED MAXWELL, colored, single. FRANK WILLIS, colored, married.. R. W. JONES, c-lored, single.

Schrandt called at The Bee office last night and said that neither he nor his partner had been in company witk a woman on the night Henry Williams was shot by Officer Drummy. hrandt ssys the cook left the restaurant half an hour before he and Kortlang went away, they remaining to count up the cash receipts before leaving. Ho was suspiclous of being followed, and as he had nosrly $100 on his person, thought he was about to be robbed when Williams came up behind him and Kortlan on Har- ney street, near the Boyd opera house. He knows nothing of the woman's connection with Williams on zoy one clse. —— Working Clrls' Entertalnment For the benefit of the sick fund Work- ing Girls' assembly No. 3633, Knights of Labor, gavo a musical and literary entertain- ment at Knights ot Labor hall last even- ing that was largely attended and much enjoyed.

Detroit, 6; Tolec 1t was ladies’ day yesterday, and everybody knows that our ball team never loses a game on that occasion. Byt it is seldom that the fair spectators have the pleasure of seeing the Philistines so unmercifully rubbed Into the earth as were TrafMley’s Jonahs yes- terday. They were not in it at any stage of the game and the best they hoped for was to get zway without a shut out. For six innings they couldn’t get a man around the circle, but In (he seventh Mr. Abbey consid- erately let McVicker have a base on balls, and a couple of hits and as many errors netted them three runs and they felt Letter. Holmes was batted out of the box in the seventh inning and Traffley went In himself, Hoffman going to third and McMackin to left field. Traf did pretty well, for a young man, and it Is no more than right to say that he was not hit any harder than Holmes. The fielding of the homo team was rather yellow in spots, Langsford in particular dis- tinguishing himself by three glaring errors, Fear played a brilllant game, especially in the eighth inning, when he cut off & prospec- tive run by a throw that is not seen many times in a season. Zelsler had gone to first on Langsford’s error, and, after Pedoes had nabbed McFadden's fly, Traffley lined out a clean two-bagger to the right, fleld fence. Fear got the pall close to the fence and threw straight as a die into Ulrich’s hands, nailing Zeisler at third, Mr. Porter, who officiated for Des Moines in the vicinity of the second bag, also distinguished himsell by eating up a clean base hit from Langsford's bat in the second Inning The run getting was a little too_one-sided to be interesting, but the crowd enjoyed seelng the local sluggers pound the earth with the enemy just the same. It started just right in the first inning, when we scored five times. Ulrich and Seery wert down by virtue of Mr. Holmes' inablility to “trun ‘em over,” and Langsford ad- anced them a base on his high fly to Me- VAL s b NG bbb LBt Lt after Hutch had struck out, Fear followed with another, and Pedroes managed to reach first on a scrateh hit. MeVicker garnered Abbey’s fly, but we had five of them, and were due to stop, anyhow. McVicker hit to Langsford in their half and the Lily fumbled. It did no good, how- ever, for Fisher struck out and Moran made a double out of it by cutting McVicker off at sccond. That was as near as they got to a run for the first six innings, but in the meantime we kept lining ‘em out as though we needed them, In the third inning Moran and Hutchi- son led off with singles, and McFarland's error and a couple of bases on balls helped them score. In the fourth McVey succeeded in getting hit with the ball, and two runs were added on successive two baggers by Moran and Hutehison. In the fifth Abbey smashed one of Holmes" slants to the fence for & coupie of sacks, Ulrich flew out to FHoffthan, Seery took a base on balls and Langsford cleared the bases with his usual.home run, We ccored one more in the sixth on hits by Seery and Pedroes, and in the elghti a galaxy of hits, among which Fear's home run drive was conspicuous, netted * four more. An- other procession of safe smashes was pro- ductive of two n the ninth, and then the boys thought that it would be best to leave a little of Traffley to have fun with today and generously stcpped the deal.

In the first place, i wag one-sided, Robert J winning easily in stralght heats.

Joe Patchen was ot equal to the task. ‘80 far behind was he that Geers slowed up down the stretch and finished in a jog, the time being 2:06%.
