    3. Thomas WEIR and Thomas JOHNSTON left Sunday morning for Marianna thinking that possibly the former's brother, John WEIR, and son Adam, formerly of this place were victims of the ill fated mine. When they arrived in Pittsburg they were overjoyed to learn that both had escaped. Mr. WEIR and Adam were the only two of eleven boarders in the one house that were saved. Mr. WEIR had been sick for a few days and had not been working. John MCVICKER, the former superintendent of the ill-fated Marianna mine and who resigned just a day before the explosion occurred that sent nearly 150 lives into eternity, is a son of Mr. and Mrs. MCVICKER who resided at Sturgeon for many years. He left the Monongahela district to become general manager of the Leiter mines in Illinois.
