TERRIBLE AND FATAL AcCDENT-SIx MEN KILLED
IN Coal PIT.-It is our painful duty this morning
to record terrible accident which occurred at the
coal works of VIM. B. Hays & Co.. twenty-three
miles from the city, and half mile east of Irwin s
station, ON the Pennsylvania Railroad at an early
hour Yesterday morning, by which six persons lost
their lives. The mines are reached by means of a
shaft one hundred and fifty four feet Deep in which
platiorms, attached to wire cable, from
Top 10 bottom, by means of stationary engine for
the purpose of taking out coal and carrying the
Workmen up and down. About haIEnast fanr
elocs Yesterday morning, gang of workmen
went down the shaft, and soon afterwards second
gang, consisting of Thomas Martin aged 40, his
sons, Robert and John, aged Is and IT, James Col
Inns, aged 80, Michael Gideroy, aged so, and his
son James, aged l4-sX il ALL prepared to descend
Ihey got upon the platform, and the chain had
scarcely descended more than ten feet, when it
broke, precipitating all to the bottom of the shaft
distance of at least one hundred and FORTY feet
The workmen who had first descended approached
the shaft soon after, and found five of the six dead
at the bottom. Collins back was broken, but the
bodies of the others showed no bruises and thew
evidently died from the effects of the conclusion
The younger Gilderoy was still alive when discov
cred, but died in less than two hours after removal
The cause of the accident cannot be OWNED as the
elevator was strong wire cable, furnished by Mr.
Roebling, and had always been thought safe The
works have been in operation for many years, and
no similar accident ever occurred in the shaft.
