' THREE MEN SUFFOCATED.—On Saturday three
miners, named George Lees, John Orgill, and John Smith,
were engaged, with two brothers, named Thompson, ia
deepening an old well upon the premises of a beerheaser,
keeper, of Campatreet, Wedoesbury, the object being to
effectually drain the cellar. Lees and Orgill were at work
down the well during the morning, whilst Smith and the
two Thompson. were engaged at the top in drawing up tbie
coal and rubbish. At about 12 o'clock an unusual noise was
heard down the well, and upon those at the top look*
down they perceived the bodies of the two men forced out
of the " headway " they were driving. Smith at once saw
the came of this, and he promptly descended the wall by
a rope, without taking any precautions for his own safety.
Before he reached the bottom, however, he fell from taw
rope insensible. The Thompson' immediately obtaieed
assistance, ands man named William Morley descended the
shaft as soon as it was found that the danger had pared.
He at once brought tip the bodies of the three masa.
Upon the spot at which the two men had been at weak
being examined, it was discovered that they bad cut into ea
old coal working, and that a mob of "choke damp" bra
forced its way through the opening they bad made. The
body of poor Smith, who bad so gallantly sacrificed Ids
life whilst endearouriog to save his companions, was fogad.
in a pool of water, which had followed the rush of "choke
damp." His face was terribly torn, the hook of the maw
by whichhe descended having caught in his cheek when be
