ALMOST ANOTHER MINING HORROR IL PENN
sYLvASIA-A dispatch from Plymouth, Penn,
dated December 81, contains the following:
There was nearly repetition Of the Av)ndaie
horror at this place yesterday. At about half
past ten a. m, the breaker of the NOTTINGHAM
mine. situated ut the southern end of the town
- discovered to be on fire. There was ffty-fye
men IN the mine at the time, which is one of the
main-traps like the AvOndale-One with but one
OUtlCt-yet. Notwithstanding this, no notice
was given to the men below that the building
above was on fire. Fortunately, il was discOv-
CT6d Scop after II broke out and with great
GTuOn was not only prevented from spreading,
Tut was eStingulShed, the men below remaining
loon some of the men came up TO dinner, and,
although every eNertiOn was made to keep the
Lire from their knowledge, the fact leaked out,
Snd they became aware, for the hrst time, OF
the terrible fate they had escaped When they
went down again they informed the rest Of
the men in the mine, and they at once got to-
Cether and held an indignation meeting, and re-
solved at once to 90 up out of the mine. When
they got up they assembled the rest of the men
belonging TO the mine-in all about seventy-five
and held another meeting. resolving that they
would not again go down into the mine until
there was built two brick chimneys for the
stove pipes, a watchman placed in the building
right and day, and n bell at the bottom of the
shaft, so that they should have a signal when
there was danger at the surface. Since that
time the mine has not been worked, and the men
still remain firm. The prOprietors not being
able to get any men 10 supply the places of their
old hands, have yielded to their demands so far
as the two chimneys are concerned, and their
construction has commenced; but they think
one watchman in the night Is sufficient, and de-
cline to place one there in the day time. The
men say that this only shows a willingness to
protect their own property, and as their lives
are exposed in the day time, they say they shall
insist on the two watchmen and also on the
alarm hell.
