They did not return and it was only after the experts of the United States rescue car had searched six hours that the bodies were found.

The de fense in the trial of Mrs. Jennie May Eaton for the murder, by poison, of heir" hysband, Rear Admiral Joseph G. Eaton, introduced evidence today-'in support of its two main contentions, that the admiral was addicted to the use of drugs, and that his wife instead of plotting his death, loved him and was loyal to him. Stories of apparent intoxication on the part of the Admiral were told by Peter S. McNally, a newspaper repor ter; Miss Mary M. Simmons, a school teacher; Lieut. R. S. Keyes, a naval officer, and Drs. Benjamin S. Blanch ard and Jacob W. Brown, physician. McNally described the Admirals behaviour and appearance on several occasions, saying that he appeared to be under the influence of intoxicants but that the odor of liquor .could not be detected on him. Lieut. Keyes said that when Admiral Eaton was a captain in conimand of - the battleship Massachusetts he spent an entire night on deck clutching the rail. DR. R. N. DUFFY ENTERTAINS MEDICAL SOCIETY.

The funeral service over the recovered bodies was simple. Father, .AirsrC Collier, of Springer, N. M., read' the service over the remains .of men of the Roman Catholic faith, while for the others Rev. H. M. Chields, camp chaplain, read the Episcopal burial service. . Walter Douglas, general manager of Phelps-Dodge & Company, which controls the Stag Canon Fuel Compa ny, tonight expressed his opinion as to the cause of the explosion. He said gas is known to have existed in a vein of coal just able the one in which the company was working and that has been known to enter the Stag Canon mine on occasions when part of the mine roof gave Way. Mr. Doug las believes some time Wednesday a small part of the roof dropped, per mitting methane gas fire damp to penetrate into several rooms of chambers of the mine and that subse quently some person with an unpro tected lamp entered the pocket in which the gas and dust had accumu lated. Chief Roberts, of the government service, agrebs with Mr. Douglas as to the probable cause, but said it was only a guess. We 'have three separate Vaudeville attractions, as follows: James Edge. Novelty equilibrist. Miss Madeline Dlsston. Singing Comedienne. Tracy and Carter. Comedy singing and talking. PICTURES. "Mary's Temptation." .

Harvey Cox Met A Tragi fend Near Bolton ' , Station. "'' - ' Yr VICTIM WAS A BRAKEMAN Body Caught Beneath Twelve Freight Cars And The Locomotive. i fi Wilmington, Oct. 25 Mr. W. Har vey Cox, a well nown citizen of Wil mington, met. a tragic death yester day afternoon at 1:30 o'clock when a freight train of 37 empty cars -was wrecked at Bolton presumably by the spreading of the rails. Mr. Cox was a brakeman on the train, and was riding either an the tender or the front car. The engine" and the front cars, 12 in number, were derailed and piled up in a mass of wreckage, and he was thrown beneath the derailed cars. Jim Ryan, the colored fireman, had his Iback sprained slightly. No others were hurt. The freight was an extra, and left j Wilmington about 12 o'clock for Flor ence, ivlr. V ox was a uraKi-rnan on the train and was riding on the front end. The lat person to see him be fore his death was the agent at Bol- ion. i ne tram atu not stop at tne station, and when about 100 yards be yong the station without warning the engine was turned over half, and 12 of the cars in front were derailed ani broken to pieces. Mr. Cox evidently was thrown forward, and the cars were piled on top of him. : His body had not been recovered early this morning. As soon as the wreck occurred the I Coast Line 'offices here were notified,' and a wrecking train, under the super- vision of Supt. V. R. C. King was imm ediately sent to the scene, reaching , there about 4 o'clock. A wrecking ' train and crew was also sent from Florence. Train No. 55, for Florence, S. C, which leaves Wilmington at :1.,r J...-. I . r ejtteville. The track was sufficiently cleared so that train No. 57, which leaves here at 7 o'clock, was able to get through by using the sidetrack at Bolton. The main line probably will not be cleared tip before this morning. All trains, however, will be able to pass through by means of the side track with slight delay. Thf tain was in charge of Conduc-. tor Leon Hatch, and Mr. Marion Brandt was engineer. Jim Ryan, the colored firr-man, had his back slightly -, spjjnined by being thrown aga'nst the side of the enLi le. The engineer was uninjured, it is said. Mr. (.'ox was well known in Wilming ton, havint been tor 14 years a deputy sheriff in the ( trice of the sheriff here. .
