Correspondence of The Sun. Avoxnate, Sept. 9.—In spite of the rain which fell with but litde interruption all night, the men continued their work of bringing the bodies from the mine. Coroner Wadhame was at bis post all the time, and ihe jury remained in thelr seats for the purpose of witnessing the identification of the dodies, When morning came, the sun shone bmgbt Ty, and the inion entertained last evening that all the dead would be found to-day was strengthened, the change in the weather being calculated to ald to the beticr performance of the work. A PLATFORM COVERED WITH THR COFFINS ‘This morning more coffina were sent to the scene of the calamity, At Plymoath station a large part of the platform was covered with these houses for th dead. Hundreds of people, waiting for the arr! 1 of the down train, gathered around and looked In silence and sorrew upon the strange pleture pre- nied to ther eves, and which many of them found it difoull to realize, A sim fc Wan witnened at ncaily all the stations along th from Seran- ton te Avondale The locor ves running oo the road were draped in incurulnes Ko Wonk IN THR MINES An effort wae mace on W Jj 10 resume work In tome of th » the valley, but the work men eniphat 0 renew their labor antit afer the funer a tak There Is, tierefore, no prosir Vusiness in the valley will goon with its urual activity untii the val rites shal! all Lave becn solems ized DREEDING A PESTLE NCE This morning work in the shaft was discontinued for an hour or two owing to the density of the foul air which had gatiercd in the mine, The three mules which have been lying dead near the bottom of the shaft since the occurrence of the disaster, stil remain there, and as they are in a state of pu- irefaction they emit the rankest and foulest stenel. Bo great, ind efuvium shed by the dccompoxed animals, that eeveral squads of men who derecnded for the parpose of bringing out more bodios, were obliged to return to (he surfice, being unable to penctrate lato the passage ways and cham. bers of the mine. A HUNDRED BODIES RECOVERED, At the time of thesuspension 108 bodies had been recovered, amd aa the victims were recognized by their friends, the lamentations of the wives and children aud other relatives of the deceased were painful almost beyond endurance. A MARROWING SPECTACLE, Tn acottage standing near the shed oecupied by the Coroner's jury, a scene was witnessed this morn- ing which may be accepted as a type of the many in- tidents of sorrow and bereavement throughont Nala nection of the valley, One of the dead miners lay in his coffin,and around his remains stood a score of weeping men and womon, The fraatic wife of the dead man bent over bis lifeless body, and w ith a tenderness, the manifestations of which it was pain- fui to witness, abe stroked his cold forehead, brushed back his hair, and repeatedly kissed his pallid lips. A crowd ussembled around the door and windows of the cottage and gozed upon this harrowing picture vith a sort of morbid interest and curiosity . A CORPSE IN EVERY COTTAGE. In every cottage except one in the neighborhood of the mine, a dead miner lay in bis cofin, sur rounded by friends who mourned his terrible fate. No wonder that an absorbing sense of horror and grief pervades the entire mining district. It will be a long while before the influence of the calamity upon the hearts and minds of the miners can be snftictent- ly removed to bring back the labor in the district to its wonted efficiency. THR UNTOUCHED LUNCHRONS, It is hoped that on some of the bodies still .o bo recovered some writing will be found embodying statement in regard to the conduct of the men in the mine, after they found themmelves fatally mpris- oned in the bowels of the carth, ‘The fact, how- ever, that the dinner pails of the men were found with their contents untouched is rccepted by many experienced miners as a proof that all of the men, or At least nearly all of them, perisued soon alter the shalt took fire THE LAST CONSULTATION, Others argue that the fact of over sixty of the men Deing found together shows that these victims aa sembled together for the purpose of considering the matter of escape, and devising, if possible, some plan by which the extent of the fire in tue shaft could be ascertained, LOCKED IN THM EMBRACE OF DEATIT, In several instances boys were found locked in the farms of their fathers, and this fact is taken as evi- dence of Hf having becn sustained for some time after the explosion, Ifthis be true, the horrible sita- ation in which the doomed miners so suddenly found themastives cen easily be imagined, The awfulness of their fte, the aure approach of death, the utter helplessness of theiz position—all these mast have boon sufMctent to paly the stoutest hearts in that ted band. is this potsonou ‘THE PUNRRAL TRAINS, A special time table was preparod last evening by ny, run from ale the Lackawanna and Bloom and this morning funeral Beranton and Avondale, Berauton, The announcen in the time table is this: purg Railway Comp trains were from Avi ent made by the Co and to ny " Fonesal trains will run for the accommodation of all who wi «1 the luneral services on Thursday, Beylomber 9, 1869, ‘These tr ilne will be free to wil,” FOUR THOUSAND PASSENORRS.

The mine bad been at rest since Inst May. The strike of the miners in this region susbended work in all of the mines of the Doiawere, Lacka wanna, and Western Company's works, and there- fore all. of them were Idle, Donbtiess, during this suspension the gas accumulated tn’ the gal- leries in great abundance, and was not entirely re- moved by way of the shaft when the two huadred victims of this catastrophe eatered the mine onglon- mo:ning to resuine work, Exactly how the acei- t oceurred will probably never be known. THe ORIGIN OF THM FI On Monday morning, as usnal, a firo war kindled in the turnace, situated in a chamber off (rom a gaug- Way of the mine, about 150 feet from the bottom of the shaft, the object of the fire being to produce draft which ventilated the mine. The fre w started with wood, and the blaze set fire to the gas in the shaft, and the flame spread to the breaker, which was lustantly set on fire. The timbers from the breaker and building above falling into the shalt set fire to the lining of the shaft, and thus prevented all cutrance or exit from the mine, HOW LONG THE MEN LIVED, Mr. Archbald, Sr., considered competent authori. ty, ia fully of the opinion that all life in the mine wis destroyed very soon after the fire begun ; that the entiro force of the heat and fiamo drew directly into the mine, sweeping the whole extent of the workings as with the besom of destruction. ‘The accuracy of this theory may be said to be demonstrated boyond question by the is covery made last evening that the carcasses of the two dead mules, which lie about fifty yards from the mouth of the shaft, are crust ed over with root @ quarter of an inch thick, THR FATAL AIR-CURRENT ERROR. The error of the men who, of their ascent from the pit Monday night, reported that the fire in the ventilating furnace within the mine was extinguish- was a fatal error. ‘Treatin rt ns true, the mine map showed that most favorable cir: cuit through which to drive the alr-eurrent crea by the fan was that which lad form rly been the “uy cast,” or current ont ot the mine, This, of course, Jed Fight through the farnac PANNING A MASS OF MOLTRN COAL, AtG in the morning a brisk current was started through this avenue, and it was not until din the aiternoon that it was ‘discovered that the furnace was a glowing mass of anthracite, and that for ten hours the fan’ intended to purify the mine bad been driving into its depths the full volume of the poiton- ous and stifling eases thrown off by the furnace, ‘The misfortune was terrible, and its ouly alleviation is found in the probabiliiy that misfortune had done its Worst even before ic firstefforts for relief began, THE NODY OF THR POLYMAN.
