That a Pecks! of Natural Wu k, but Nothing D.fl-ni- t. I V.t Known. Volnowood, Pa., Jan. 28 One hundred and seven bodies have been taken from tho ill fated mine of Prick V Co., at Mammoth up to 10 o'clock this morning. It is estimated that the remains of at least seventeen more vic-tims of yesterday's explosion are still in the pit. It is thought all will be out in a few hours. Nobody slept at Mammoth last night, iu every home in the little mining ham-let there was mourning. In the little onestory houses, scantily furnished and illuminated with tallow candles, mother, wife, sister or sweetheart sobbed in silence. After the explosion yesterday the news of the awful fate of the scores of miners at work in the shaft spread rap-idly among the mines and miner's homes. Couriers carried the dreadful news hither and thither. The families of the men rushed from the comforts of home into depths of grief and despnir. The scenes at these miners' cottages can not be imagiuod. Within au incredible short time tho entrance to the shaft swarmed with an eager, anxious crowd of men, women and children, some of whom could only with great difficulty be kept at a safe distance. As the bodies of the victims, mangled by tho terrible force of the explosion or buried almost out of human semblance, were brought up from the yawning depths, the crowd of watchers pushed forward to tb.6 pit's mouth for a glimpse of recognition. I Hearts of wives" and mothers stood still In fear that loved ones were among the dead. .Tears coursed down bronzed and bearded cheeks and were dashed away by brawny hauds that had swung a pick for many years. The rejeuing party proceeded with its grim task ind the crowd of watchers silently looked on.' Fifty eollins arrived from Pittsburg this morning and another half hundred will reach here tonight. An additional order for twenty-fiv- e more was sent this morning. The cause of the explosion is not yet determined. The coroner is on the ground and it is thought an investiga-tion will be made. A roll call of all the men is in progress and by this, the exact number of the missing will be know n. The rescuing party is working with energy and the wreck in the .shaft is being fust cleared up. The ollicbtls of tho company said this morning: "it may never ' be known how or why the explosion occurred. Accumulation of tire' damp' was probably the cause, but it was never known to exist in any quantity before, in fact it may bo said the Mam- - moth mine has been free from lire damp. There is a theory that a pocket of natural gas was reached and that the operation of the ventilating fans now prevents any accumulation of it. It is not necessary that every one in the mino should be killed when an explosion occurs. Explosions may stay in one particular section and may not permeate the entire mine unless tho volume is so great as to force it to 'r nart nf Ihe nit In th'm nAat rh gas was confined to one portion and the miners who were in other localities es-caped." Never in the history of American coal mining has there been such an unex-pected accident, with such complete annihilation of all within its reach. The Mammoth mine has been notabic always as being particularly free from gas. Hundreds of safety gauge lamps wero provided for I he miners by tho company but they were never used as they were regarded as unnee- - , essary. In their stead tho men worn tho familiar little open flame lamps in their hats. The mine boss put the night shift to work and found nothing to arouse his suspicions.

He will have to come down and show his Toiors and tight for h's pretended divine existence, for I am going to introduce a bill in a few days that will, if it becomes a law, as I fully believe it will, wipe his heaven off the face of tho earth and bring his pretentions of being Jesus Christ to a sudden end.

Wonders Seen t7 Sir Joseph I.lster. New York Herald. A recent number of the London Lan-cet contained a letter from Sir Joseph Lister, in which occurs the following in-teresting paragraph: "There is another line of inquiry from which I caunot help hoping for good re-sults. Through Dr. Koch's great kind-ness I had the opportunity of pene-trating into tho arena of tho hygienic institute of Berlin, where I saw most beautiful researches carried on in that institution, of which Dr. Koch is the in-spiring cenius. 1 saw in the cases of two ol the most virulent infectious dis-eases to which man is liable tho course' or mo oiiierwise oeauiy disease cm short in the animals on which the ex-periments wero performed by the in-jection of a small quantity of a material perfectly constant in character, an in-organic substance as easily obtained as any article in the materia medicn. Not only this, but by means of tho same substance these animals were rendered incapable of taking tho disease."

The Federation of Labor Gently Snub. Mr. l'otrdrly Today. New Yohk, Jan. 28. At a meeting of Ihe executive council of the Ameri-can federation of labor yesterday a circular w as issued by l'owderly re-questing all the labor organizations to send delegates to the conference a third party in conjunction with tho farmers' alliance was brought up but it was decided to pay no atten-tion to it. It was thought unwise for the labor organizations to meddle with politics. The miners' demand for eight hours which takes place May next, was taken up. It was resolved to levy an assess-ment of 2 cents per week per capita for five weeks, on the members of all unions connected with the federation. It is said there arc favorable prospects that the demand for eight hours will be granted without any strikes, as the em- - ployers and employes are holding con- - ! feretices all the time with good results. The committee which recently went to the convention of the bricklayers at Toronto to' ask the Bricklayers Na-tional union to join the federation re-ported that the bricklayers had decided - to refer the matter to tho individual unions. The chances are. they reported, that they would join after a whikj Miss Formally Declared Elected.
