housekeeper to a writer on household
topics. "I started in with the notion
that ice had to melt about so fast any-

with it would make no particular dif-

"The ice roan brings 50 pounds of
ice twice a week. I put it into a large
cloth around which are wrapped some
pieces of felt and a blanket. The por-
celain tank in the ice box is about 10

put a piece of ice every morning taking
care to keep the rest well covered. I

nothing is more taxing. The htde

The young man who rode the winning
horse at the fair grounds yesterday
evening after he came in from the
track turned the horse over to a negro
to be cared for and disappeared and
up to' this time has not bein found.
In the excitement it was some time
time before he was missed. Search
was made for him. His hat top shirt
and shoes were found where he strip-
ped for the race.
A party has been searching for him
all day. A man's tracks were found
in his stocking feet this evening. They
traced him for five miles and he still
appeared to be running. The seaich
is still kept up. He was a stranger
here and no one seems to know his
name.
boys descended the shaft yesterday
and only seventeen have been saved.
A large number of bodies are buried
beneath the earth walls and it has been
found impossible as yet to extricate
them Those not killed by the eV
plosion or crushed to death by the
falling earth were undoubtedly asphyxi-
ated by the after damp. The bodies
of those recovered who were killed by
the actual explosion which vwuterrific
weic terribly mutilated. In many
cases arms and legs were blown com-
pletely fronv the trunks. Limbs from
missing bodies have been found in
several parts of the mine. In one
place a d zen bodies were found to
gether. The men had evidently been
overtaken by the after damp while en-
deavoring to make their escape. The
scene of the disaster has been visited
today by thousands of people from the
surrounding country.
Late this'evening the rescuing parties
succeeded in extricating a large number
of bodies all of which were sent to the
surface. Thus far 142 bodies have
been taken from the pit.
