Again.
PLYMOUTH, Pa, Jan. !.
There was nearly repetition Of the
AvondAle horror here yesterday about
half past ten O'Clock, A. N. The break.
or Of the Nottingham mine situated At
the southern end Of the town, was dis
covered 10 be on hre. There were fifty.
i've men In the mine at the time, which
10 one OF the man traps like the Avon
dale, with but one outlet, notWlthstRnd.
Ing this no notice was given to the men
below that the. building was on fire.
Fortunately It was soon discovered and
with great eXertlon not only prevented
from spreading, but was eXtlnguished,
the men below remaining all the while
In Ignorance Of their danger.
The fire was the result OF gross care
lesSneSs on the part OF the Company
working 1t. II appears that two stoves
were kept In tho breakers TO give heat
to boys employed there to pick out
slate from the coal 40 II goes Ia the
breaker. The pipes from these stoves
were run directly through the wood
work oil the building without any pros
teGtion. The wood work heated until
It became the consistency oftlnder then
Ignited.
At noon some Of the men came TO
dinner, and although every exeFtlon
was made 10 keep the lire from their
knowledge, the fact leaked ont and
they became aware for the 6rst time OF
the terrible fate they had escaped.
When they went down again they In"
formed the rest OF the men. They at
once held an indignation meeting and
resolved to 90 up out ol the mine.
When they got up they assembled the
rest Of the miners belonging In the
mines, In all about 75S men, and held
another meeting, resolving they would |
not again 20 down into the mine until |
there were built two chimuIes for the |
stove pipes and watchmRn placed In |
charge Of the building night and day, |
