Disaster
80 DEAD; SOME ARE MISSING
We le M uSfen, the bedi" of eight,
inr renterday were stretched en pine
SE5J. Up nnd down the aisle, of
that mpreVlicd morgue there filed
i never-ending precession of -grief -.trlcken
relatives and friends amid
S , 0f infinite pathos. The bodies
wr" these of tfff miners tewt
killed In the explosion at the Kellly
Colliery Ne. 1.
Latest figures en the tragedy, tlie
most appalling In Pennsylvania mlnln
Ry since the disaster at the Dnrr
eiBiuij ,r," " ... in 1007. when
Sere than 200 men met death, ahev
that the dead may reach mere than
etehty" In addition, thirty-two men.
including four """;,? 'lJrtur!
and several men are still believed te
be missing.
Beginning nt 2. o'clock yesterday
morning rescuers turned from their
ministrations te the living te the duty
of caring for the dead. At dawn the
lust of seventy-two bodies had been
taken te the morgue and a little later
word came from tbe miners' hospital
that three of the Injured had succumbed
te their hurts. Late last, night five
mere bodies were brought te the sur
face. Identify Their Dead
When the bodies of the living were
taken te the mine mouth they were car
ried through the crowds "face down"
with the faces concealed from the on
lookers. Each bystander felt that It
was ber husband or son who was being
carried out In this way.
But today the story was different, for
In the bodies of the dead men the rela
tives recegnised their own. Praying,
screaming, meaning and laughing in a
hysteria that was mere terrible than
the crying of the anguished, men and
.women and children passed by the tem
porary biers.
Eagerly they scanned the faces of the
'dead that were in many instances
scarred by the marks of the searing fire,
, but in seme ether, instances unmarked
nnd smiling even, as if the poisonous
cases had ceme as a blessing te ease the
death agonies. At the feet of each
corpse was a bundle of belonging, the
man's clothing, bis pipe, n locket, per
hnpH, with the pictures of his wife nnd
children. As the women slowly moved
through the building they examined each
face carefully. But when they reached
the body of the man they knew they did
net need te leek a second time. They
knew, and in many cases they fell te
their knees, walling or praying and
calling out the name of the dead.
Carload of Coffins
Ml yesterday undertakers' wagons
plowed through the mud of the main
street. At neon railroad men unleaded
a carload of coffins and these symbols of
a town's wee were piled high en the
rencrete fleer of a garage opposite the
Miners' Hall.
Te assunge the grief of the living
and te relieve their immediate neces
sities as they arose, physicians and
public health nurses, a corps of Ameri
can Bed Cress workers from Johns
town, soldiers nnd lassies of the Salva
tion Army and emergency workers
Tecrulted from the few nmeng the
townspeople who had net felt the blew
directly turned In and worked.
The greater part of the main head
ing nnd the Intcrnl headings or pas
sagewnys en the left side have been
explored, but thcre is n small section
en the right that 6tl!l remains for
examination. It is impossible te reach
the extreme ends of these passagcway.i,
the mine experts assert, and it is highly
Improbable that any living men ere
there. But there may be a few mera
bodies of the dead, tbe mining Aucn
say.
Hew many bodies will be found in
the, remote headings no one will Miy
definitely.
What caused the explwsten has net
yet owl determined, although mlnlna
nnd safety engineers from the Federal
Bureau of Mine nnd the State Bureau
hare turned their attention te that
phase of the tragedy. One man's guess
is ax geed as nnother's; but these ex
perts say nt this time, and se far the
guesses have surmised, that the explo
sion was caused by an open lamp or a
lighted cigarette.
Stories of heroism by the trapped
miners arc the consolation for many of
the afflicted. Every man deserved the
name of here, -In thb opinion of the ,
rescue workers, but several names stand ,
out.
Jay Fex, a stripling of twenty, set
an example for his fellows, while
ethers were rushing around through the
gas-illlcd passageways shouting and
Faying, young Fex looked death in tha
in co and sullied. Iln Inkcil nnil ii.riii1-
heered up the ethers and found a way
te safety along n current of fresh air.
Then, with the open air in sight,
rex (ell exhausted, but with the same
ralle. His llfe was banging by a
slender strand when he was taken te
the hospital. There he met his sweet
heart. Miss Emrun Smith, of Barnes Barnes
wre, who had volunteered as n nurse.
Altnena, P Nev. 8. City Council
has adopted a resolution of sympnthy
for widows and children of the miners
who lest their lives in the Spongier
mine disaster and offered any assist
ance posslble te them.
