A Horrible Disaster.


The columns of the European German pa
pers are filled with the particulars of one of
the greatest disasters that ever desolated
any mining district.
On the 1st of July last the wooden frame
work of a 300 feet deep pit of coal mine
in the neighborhood of Lugin, in Slxony,
gave way, blocking up, with an impenetra-
BILE mass Of timber and rock, the pit at a
dept of absut 800 ellis from the tOb. AT the
moment of the disaster 102 men, nearly all
of them the supporters oflarge families were
working i'll the bottom of the mine. Their
provisions were onley calculated for one
day. On the 18th of july, the date of our
latest news by mail, the place where the
fallen masses had stopped the pit was Of
such solid structure that the water was
standing on it many feet high. From all
sides the most available help was offered,
but the conviction that nothing coulb be
done soon enough to save the unfortunate
miners weakened, as it seems, any energet-
lc efforts. They were doomed to die of star
walton and want of fresh air. On the 4th
of July all attemps 70 reach the bottom of
the mine by any quick process were aban
doned, and sure but slow plan was devised
by which at least the corpses of the perish.
ed could be extracted Iroa tubs of about
two feet in diameter were to be sunk
through the distractions down to the bottom
of the pit. Among the dead are forty -four
married men, one of whom had wife and
nine living children. The scenes at the
entrance OF the pit are described as lamen-
table without parallel One hundred and
thirtv.savan oh iIdren filed the air with
Their woeful cries, whilst the Superintendent
of the mine, to whose negligence the disas-
ter was ascribed by the people could only
be saved from being mobbed by his sudden
imprisonment.
