THE EXPLOSION AT HOUGHTON

COLLIERY.

HOUGHTON, TUESDAY NIGHT.—Tbe bodies of five
of the sufferers who perished by the explosion of fire-
damp in Houghton Colliery yesterday, were buried
this afternoon.
With regard to the nature of the working and the
probable cause of the accident, all must now be, to a
large extent, conjecture. A few additional 'minim
lafs, have been ascertained beyond what I have al-
ready communicated. It appears that the colliery
was abandoned or " laid in," as it is termed, about 12
or 13 years ago, and that it remained unworked till
last Christmas, when it was re-opened, and fresh ope-
rations commenced. This, it is said, was prompted
by the excessive competition at present and for some
time past existing in the coal trade, which rendered it
desir.ble that all the " working-power" should be
rendered available in the productive process.
The cause of the accidot is attributed to Mr.
Hunter, an overman. He was sitting with one of the
survivors, of the name. Of Hodgson, in a cabin at the top
of an incline, when he said he heard a rumbling noise,
and apprehended danger. Oil this he took a naked
light, and proceeded to the place whence the noise
proceeded, which was where Watchman, one of the
sufferers, was at woi k ; and it is supposed the gas
fired at his candle. He was found blown along the
l way, burnt to a cinder, lying with a plate-iron
through his body. Hunter is said to have been seen
at Houghton on Sunday evening in a state of intoxi-
cation, and so late as twelve o'clock. He would go
to wolk at two o'clock, his duty being to examine the
state of the mine ; and at three o'clock the " shift"
took place, when 150 men and boys entered the mine
in the consciousness of perfect Security, and one of

them (Watchman)
in a wo; king which had been closed for thirteen or
fOurt, en yt,ars. commenced removing the
