TYPHUS FEVER IN THE HOUSE OF CORRECTION.
—An investigation wu held yesterday morning by Mr.
G. S. Ikea, at the Clerkenwell House of Correction, touch-
ing the death of a prisoner mimed Frederick Gedge, aged
33, whore death was caned by typhus fever. It appeared
from the evidence of the pillion officials (there being no re-
latives or friends present), that the deceased had been a
prisoner in that gaol since March last, having been con-
victed of felony, and sentenced to 18 months' imprisonment
with hard labour. He had, however, not been put to labour,
having been under meshed treatment in the infirmary nearly
the whole time. In abort, by his own request, be wee toads
cleaner in the infirm try, in which occupation he lowan:tad
until Sunday, the 12th lust., when symptoms of fever pre-
sented themselves. He was attended to by Dr. Smiles,
the medical supenuteedent, and according to that gentle-
man's evidence, backed by documentary proof, was esceed-
'ugly well looked after. It was beLeved the deceased
would Lave survived the disease, but on Saturday LA a
change came over him, and ho expired shortly after the turn
of the night. The death was the result of typhus fever
with congestion of the lungs. Dr. Smiles Meted that they
bad been so free from fever that he had suggested that the
fever ward should be reduced and more padded cells made.
which, however, had not been complied with. They had
had for menthe nearly 1,600 prisoners in that gaol, and
latterly 13 MOOS of typhus fever had presented themselves,
the majority having recovered. With respect to the de-
ceased, he was a well conducted young man, and most re-
spectably connected. After some further evidence, the
jury returned • verdict, " That Frederick Gedge died from

Seemly light and volatile, it would attempt, as an old pitman
mid, "to ma above the air in the pit." Hence it would ad

NEWCASTLE, 3.40 P.M.

A special edition of the Names'ie Jarrisal, jest pals-
lilted, states that an inquest was held Oils afternoon, at
Seaton Delavel, on the bodies of the five men killed in the
shaft while descending in the cage. The evidence showed
that the tusking of the beam was a pure accident, and the
jury returned a verdict to that effect.
Operatives in the shaft may be :considered as absolutely
suspended, in so far a. Tektite to anything being done whisk
could be available towards saving the lives of the Dna.
The authorities at the colliery have now abandoned all hops
that ► single man or boy will be brought out of the pit
alive ; even the most sanguine are compelled to admit that
there is no hope whatever that the poor fellows are now
alive, much leu that the pit could Le cleared in time to
rescue than, supposing them to be still living. The pa in
the pit is carbonic acid, and there is no doubt that it did the
whole of its deadly work on the unfortunate creatures so
long ago as Saturday morning, when the rappinp or the
jowlings were last heard. This circumstance has been kept
extemeled from the men and the public, leek it should dis-
courage thou who Lad so nobly exerted themselves to
rescue the prisoners. There is the most intense excitement,
not only in Newcastle, but the district. The accident,
though unprecedented in its fatality, is not so in is
nature.

At the end of the shift, at throe o'clock, it wr believed
that Use beam had been reached, and was situated a short
distance below the bucket door. A man at work them
thrust his arm down through a hole in the 'attest of wood
and small stone, and, as he did not feel any substance below
within reach of his fingers, it was conaluded that an opsn
spans of some extent existed a foot or two below the curtain
where the men were working. A scrap of the beam had
been seen, but whether it wa detached from or in con-
nexion with the main portion was not known. There are,
therefore, still twelve feet to work through, and the pro-
gress made will depend entirely on the nature of the inter-
vening material. whetherdense or open. At present, however,
the hopes entertained are not so sanguine as thou that
were general at two o'clock. It may be as well to state
the practical pitmen do nut think that the plan proposed by
a humors correspondent in the Chronicle yesterdsy,is a far
sable one, on amount of the uncertainty that would attend
the operation of drilling ; the chance of a hole being drilled
straight away at once from the high main to the yard seem
being exotedingly remote, and the probability being that a
bore even no larger than that necessary to introduce a EWA*,
pertsha pipe might require months to maks it. Meanwhile the
evesliag creeps on amain, cold, stern, and pitiless, and God
alms knows when succour shall be afforded to the wretched
inmates of the subterranean dungeon. People have flocked
around in great numbers sines something like positive assn.
mates were given of the approaching rescue of the sufferers
but they are now moving away to talk perchance around
comfortable ionise of the dire and dismal calamity at Hart-
ley Pit. Groups still linger around the watch fires, and
the emus promote a Dort of weird bivouac of a strange and
somewhat solemn character.

We take the following amount of Monday's operations
from the lietrca4tk Chronicle of yesterday :
NEW HARTLEY PIT, Norway', 10.30 a.m.
Monday's dawn disclosed a cheerless scene around the pit
and Re vicinity. The murky sky overhead, which the
suu's rays in vain essayed to pierce and dispel, was in unison
with the desponding feeling which a glance at the count.-
, MOONS of those around the scene of the catastrophe revealed.
The weather, though much milder than it had previously
bees, was still cold ; whilst the atmosphere was
with moisture. Pelting showers of lilting hail and sleet
with little iuterminion during the day. The roads at and
around the pit were sloppy, and if much rain or snow should
fall they appear likely, from the imusiaant pawing to and
fro, soon to become almost impes..able. All around the pit
large crowds of people are still eseembled. Oonversatioa
amongst them, beyond a casual remark, appears almost
entirely suspended. The majority of them seem to bare
fallen into a sort of impaesive, stony apathy, very nearly
akin to despair. It is only when any unusual stir ss ob-
served upon the platform that they shake off their apathetic
feeling, but the excitement is only momentary, and subsides
almost as soon as aroused for want of something to sustain it.
The fearful nature of the impending calamity seems to have
nearly prostrated the poor winneu around, whose mute but
sad and eloquent looks point them out at Quo. as having a
vital stake in the safety of some amongst the unfortunate
men only a few fathoms beneath them, iu the narrow
limits of the yard seam, within hearing of the passing trains
on the Myth and Tyne Railway, as they come rapidly past
the pit, bearing crowds of friends and symenthinng spew
talon to the scene.
Large quantities of water continue to pour down the shaft
from every crevice. Beneath the stone facing of the shaft,
the support at the sides of the pit are, or rather were,
lined with balks of oak timber and bratticing for the pur-
pose of preventing falls of earth and stove and for
nunntiduing the shaft intact. The fractured been: in its pro-
'real down the shaft carried the greater portion, if not
all 01 ibis timber with it in its thundering program,
leaving the naked sides, to use the appropriate language of
Kr. Coulson, like the face of a quarry. The displaced tim-
ber forms the larger portion of the debris, and from its
having become jammed, of course constitutes the greatest
difficulty the workmen have to contend with in the removal
of the compact obstruction. The manner in which the work

Pore distant, the meant of the workmen shortly
alter five o'clock was anxiously looked far. When they
made their appearance upon the platform, dripping wet,
they were eagerly questioned as to the state of things below.
Their account was very chilling ; it seemed as if the anxious,
unnatural excitement of the people was never to be re-
lieved. The fruition of their hopes appeared as distant ss
ever. The men reported that they had not been able to
sink much lower than last reported. One scrap of
comfort, however, was contained in the news, and a
prolable, though distant gleam of hope finds birth it,
the fact that from what has been effected there arc now
two chances, though it must be oonfrased rather remote
ones, of the ultimate deliveranoe of the men. As the men
were carrying on the work of clearance near the bucket
dour hole, an orifice, we understand, in the side of the
shaft, a stone shot out of the aperture. This hole is used
when it heroines necessary to change and replace the
bucket. A consequence of the removal of this stone is
that there is now a possibility of an excavation being made
to the yard seam, so as to reach the men. This. we be-
lieve, will be tried should there be much difficulty expe-
rienced in getting into the yard seam by the ordinary
course. There are thus two means of access, both appa-
rently practicable, preempted, and though their realisationmay appear rather remote, the knowledge that they exist
precludes a feeling of blank, nerveless despair taking pos-
session of the mind, which could only sere to paralyse the
efforts of all concerned. As the excavators is the shaft
made their way through the impeding rubbish in the shaft,
inch by inch, as it were, they came upon one of the straps
attached to the broken beam at the time of its fall. It was
thought that this was a certain indication of the proximity
of the ponderous place of metal. But, Pat' I hope again
" told a flattering tale," for on pushing forward the work
so as to make this natural suppositiou a certainty, it was
found that it had become detached in the fall, and the true
position of the titanic beam was as much a matter of
speculation as ever.
• The quantity of rubbish removed in the last shift has
been greater than in the previous ones, and more work has
bees dorm today towards effecting the object iu view than
for two days previously. Here, again, is another gleam of
heavenly hope illumining the gloom which pervades all
around, and which must inevitably become as profound as
Egyptian darkness mikes the dread uncertainty as to the
fate of the poor fellows below is speedily dispelled.

Notwithstanding that the various officials on the coal
platform endeavour to out • good face on the matter, it is
painfully evident that the hope now remaining is of that
character which berms merely to gild despair. Those only
who descend the shaft and work for the removal of the
knotty obstructions they find there, can form a correct
wisdom of the teak on which they are engaged. These
men have bees, from the tint, if not despondent, at least

The excitement gradually Increased among the crowd
until it culminated on the rerun to bank of the deputation,
Charles Galagher and John McLeod, who bad been dews
in the pit. One of these having made his way into the
middle of the crowd, said aloud, • There is not a morsel of
tythe. There is water enough to drown a man, but there
is no stythe." Mr. Foster, who had just come up the
shaft, and was sanding with a number of other
against the railing of the opal platform overlookiO'g7g:

the men are satisfied that everything has been dons that
can be done, and that they are told toe true state of the
ease. There is no fear of the men if there is no stythe, but
to tell you the truth, I am afraid that there is scythe.
A man in the crowd asked if it was correct that they bad
heard jowls up to yesterday ?—Mr. Foster replied that be
believed so. Mr. Wilkinson would nut tell him a lie, and
Mr. Wilkinson had told him what he lied told them.
Mr. Emmerson, one of the men who works iu the shaft,
and who was standing near Mr. Foster, then whispered to
him that they had distinctly heard jowls yesterdag. Mr.
Foster repeated the statement.
Some confusion then arose, in the course of which one of
the men restored order by sating aloud that the

Rained if they would promise to let them have a reports

Mr. Foster—Yon do not wish • deputation to go down

statements to the effect that • report only was wanted,
were made.
Mr. Fomer—Well, now, my lads, you shall ham may

Mr. T. Y. Hall, mining engineer, oa his arrival in New-

at eight o'olock, and after consulting with Mr. J. J. Atkin-
son, mining inspector, Mr. J. B. Foster, and Mr. Coulson,
the master winker, as also several of the men ridding out
the broken timber in the pit shaft, I fear the prospects an'
anything but good. The bad or hot air, or what is called
stythe, 1 fear is coming up through the 12 feet of timber in
the bottom of the shaft (yet to work through) which meets
the fresh air down the abaft, by the different waterfalls,
in it."
