Horrific Recovery of Miners Bodies at Diamond Mine
Correspondents from Chicago report on March 26 the grim recovery of miners bodies after a flood trapped them in the Diamond mine. Workmen labored through the night to exhume remains, often unrecognizable, with families watching in sorrow as coffins were prepared and the crowd pressed near the morgue. Identification proved painful and uncertain, save for one man named John Boyd and a few others identified by clothing or personal marks. The scene remained a ghastly vigil as bodies were transported to Braidwood for funeral services and interment.

Hints to Inventors on Patent Conveyance and Damages
The text explains that a patent conveyance may omit rights in two counties not covered by prior nonregistered conveyances. It discusses infringement when a device is bought from someone who settled with the patentee and the defendant’s date of purchase. It notes patentees may vary from drawings in practical use without violating the patent and that infringing use of a valuable combination can damage the entire patent. Damages are measured by profits the patentee would have earned on sales to those customers.

The Dismal Swamp and Its Decline in Virginia
A visitor notes the Dismal Swamp in Virginia has shrunk over twenty years and now covers less land, with railway lines crossing it. Drainage by Duke Drummond could make the area fertile, but surveys by Governor Butler’s era were abandoned. The swamp remains a lumbering region with canals and logs moved by small ditches and roads, while the lake fringes with cypress and broken roots stay largely as before. A Denmark gunship recently completed measures 82 feet inches long and weighs 68 tons.
