But 53 bodlps have been recovered from mines Nob. 6 and 8 of the Falrmount Coal comjmny at Monon gah, W. Va. Fifty-six hours had elapsed since the awful explosion and a ma jority of the bodies brought to the sur Titce wer6 in a terrible condition, ne cessitating almost Immediate burial. It Is believed that the number of dead will not be over 400. A thorough investigation was made by the compa ny and it was discovered that many miners believed to have been entomb ed had escaped because they had not gone to work Friday after Thursday's holiday. Shortly after 3 o'clock Sunday after noon fire broke out again in No. 8, and the rescuers were at once ordered to the surface. It was said by members of the rescu ing party that over 100 bodies have been located In both mines and that they will be brought to the surface as soon as the Are has been extinguished. The system of rescue work was al most perfectly organized and excellent results were obtained. Much headway was made Into both mines and about 25 more bodieB were recovered during Sunday morning and early afternoon. It Is now known just how long a man can stay In the foul air of the mines, and relays of 15 minutes have been provided. With clocklike precision the relief appears and good progress was made all day until halted by the fire. In a statement Issued by President C. W. Watson of the Falrmount Coal company, he snys: "There have been numerous reports that the families of the dead men are destitute. These reports are wrong. The Falrmount Coal company is tak ing and will take care of the families. In addition to this, the ladles of Mon ongah, Falrmount, and other places have organized relief measures and are rendering effective assistance." Knox Indorsed For President. The boom of Senator Philander C.

He also cad extracts from letters written by the president warmly com mending Mr. Knox for the part he played in the enforcement of the anti trust laws. At the conclusion of Mr. Burke's speech Representative John Dalzell of the Pittsburg district made a motion that It be adopted as the sense of the entire delegation which was carried with cheers.

The court found that Mrs. Goold was the chief Instigator of the crime and sentenced her to death by the guillo tine, and that Gooid was less responsi ble by reason of his being under the Influence of liquor at the time the murder was committed, and sentenced him to imprisonment for life. The evidence went to show that Emma Levin, who was possessed of considerable jewelry and some money, had been Invited to visit the Goolds, who were In needy circumstances. There she was killed and later a quantity of her Jewelry was found in the possession of Goold and his wife. Her body was dismembered and pack ed away In a trunk and valise, which the murderers were trying to dispose of when the crime was discovered. Secretary Taft't Mother Dead.

Club of New York, j 4 Maladministration of Street Depart ment Principal Cause For Removal. Governor Also Alludes to Grave Abuse In Administration of Bureau of Public Buildings and Offices. , . Albany, Dec. 10. Governor Hughes ordered the removal from office of John F. Abeam, president of tho Borough of Manhattan, New York city, on the charges preferred against hlro ky the City club of New York, hold ing that the "neglect and misconduct alleged to prevail In the borough pres ident's office "were for the most part made possible because of the want of that administrative care which it was plain duty of the borough president to exercise." The condition of disrepair and neg lect which President Ahearn permit ted to obtain in the streets of Manhat tan borough, especially those paved with asphalt, is the principal ground upon which Governor Hughes bases his action, but he alludes also to "grave abuses In the administration of the bureau of public buildings and offices," one of the departments of Ahearn's jurisdiction. Personal Corruption Not Alleged. The governor takes pains to call at tention to the fact that personal cor ruption was not alleged or proved against the borough president, "that Is," he says, "It is not shown and It is not claimed that he has converted public money or property to his own use of has personally profited In an un lawful manner by his official conduct. "Justice to Mr. Ahearn requires," the governor continues, "that this should be stated emphatically and clearly be understood. But that does not enrt the matter. A borough presi dent, as has been said, is removable on charges. And without attempting to state comprehensively what con duct bearing upon character or fitness might he regarded as a proper subject of charges, It is clear that a charge will lie for breach of duty. "There may be, of course, technical breaches of duty or omissions of such relative Inconsequence, that although public obligation may not have been strictly, it has been substantially, per formed and removal from office would not be justified. The gravity and com parative Importance of the breach of duty Is a matter for the consideration of the officer vested with the power of removal. But If there has been mal administration in matters seriously affecting the public welfare and gross breach of official obligation, the duty of removal Is clear, albeit there is no proof of peculation or personal dis honesty." Taking up first the charges of mal administration in the highway depart ment the governor snys In part: "The evidence compels the conclus ion that Borough President Ahearn has failed to perform his duty with reference to the streets to a degree (that Is entirely Inexcusable. Until recently, when the sharpness of com plaints and Investigation led to a re organization of the department, the streets of Manhattan were permitted to remain In a shocking condition of disrepair. It Is not a case of occas ional neglect or of lapses which might be overlooked. Continuous Maladministration. "On the contrary it Is a case of continuous maladministration relieved only by spasmodic efforts under the pressure of criticism. It is not nec essary to go back to Mr. Ahearn's first term, but it Is sufficient to consider the wretched condition of the streets during the year I90fi and until the spring of this year, the responsibility for which rests upon the borough president." The governor says he is not un mindful of the large amount of dis turbance of the streets, "due to the multitude of necessary openings," the damage by bonfires, or of the excuse "based upon the confusion of author ity due to the defects 1n the charter," and obvious as may be the Import ance of remedying them In order to get. the best results, there is a limit to the extent to which they may serve as an excuse for bad administration. And In this case, after making full al lowance for any possible embarrass ment which they occasioned to the borough president and for the extent of Interference with the pavements by the causes above mentioned, the con clusion Is Irresistible that in the main the bad condition of the streets has not bee due to any other cause than to the failure of the borough president To do his duty. Tax Officers Boom Bible Sale. Topeka, Kan., Dec. 10. Members of the state tax commission report that in several counties in Kansas the au thorities are buying Bibles, which the assessors are to use In administering the oath to the taxpayers In making assessments of property.

Her Divorce Annulled by Judge Who Holds Strictly to Statute. Nashville, 111., Dec. 10. Judye Charles T. Moore of this city, one of the presiding judges of the Third Ju dicial clfcult, has Just made a ruling In the divorce case of Mary C. Bib against William C. Blby in the Perry county circuit court of Pinckneyvllle, which, If carried out, will affect hun dreds of Illinois couples married In the past. Mrs. Biby was granted a divorce last May and was married six days later In St. Louis to Eleahnla Felts of this city. Judge Moore upon hearing of the marriage rescinded his former ruling and withheld his final decision Itintil this term of court, when he dis missed the case, leaving the com plainant still legally married to Biby and illegally married to Felts. Under the ruling of the new Illi nois law divorced persons cannot re marry within a year, but they have eluded the provisions of the law by going to other states to have the nup tial knot tied. In his opinion Judge Moore states that the complainant entered into an other mnrriage contract before she was legally separated from Biby and before the decree was approved and entered on the docket and while that term cf court was still In session. Furthermore, he says that she vio lated the statute by marrying con trary to the provision of the content plated decree which states that no divorced person shall remarry in less than 12 months.

San Francisco Graft Trial Postponed. San Francisco, Dec. 10. The disap pearance of former Supervisor James L.

SHOOTS BRIDE OF MONTH. Then Commits Suicide Churchgoers Shocked by Sunday Tragedy. Lisbon, 0., Dec. 10.
