The following is taken from The PonSvilr Nj
ner's journal OF Saturday. The details of Que
Of those frequent accidents by the explosion Of
fire damp is herewith given
A fearful accident occurred on Tuesday morn
ing last, about hali-pas seven O'clock, at Mr..
Agard's Belmont Colllery, in this county-the
place is better known by The old name of The
five points. Four persons, two men and two
boys, have been taken out of The slope, dead and
dreadiully mangrd- one more is not likely to
Ike, and six others are seriously injured. II
has been and may be drnominated an explosion
of gas: bat more properly it was powder ex-
plosion for the latter did the most injury,
though the 'eire damp as it is generally called,
exploded FIRST and gniled the powder.
Fhe facts Of the occurrence are as follows -
The mnor boss, MIR. John w. DAVIS, went mo
the nine early in the morning as usual, and
examined the works carefully before any Of the
miners were at work. He found slirr" in one
OF the ''brpass" near the face of the eangway.
This breast was worked by James Siverthorn
cred dangerous. Mr. DAVIS met SiIvrrhorn and
told him twice, very emphatically, that his
place was full Of fire, and that he should not
venture III IL WIN iidkVd ramp Hillll tue SdS
was driven out. According ~ Silverthorn took
the Davy or safety lamp, and commenced 10
brush Ere out of the breast But unfortunately,
several of the miners were seated around the
bottom Of the breast, in the gangway with their
naked lamps, taking their customary ''whif," !"
and that before commencing work, and Bear
them were between two and three Kegs Of po%-
der, open and unprotected
The gas being driven down the shuts past the
cross-heading, penetrated TO the gangway, where
the miners were seated, and as might br expect
ed, it took fire ironlhe lamps. But the expla-
sion OF gas would have been tIifing, in compari-
son TO the amount Of damage done, had not the
powder, which was in close proximity To the
men, also ignlted and exploded, crushing and
bruising everything in the vicinity, and doing
considerable damage to tbe mines. The effect
OF the shock was felt at great distance from
the scene, and the mines throughout treubled
with the conclusion. Coal, rocks and uateral,
were baried with dreadful velocity far out TO-
wards the slope. Bot the damage done TO the
work. the amount of which cannot BE- fully as
certained, is nothing in comparison to the dread
fn loss OF lie and limb-the horrid suherings
which the itartgi accident occasioned.
