Jones, who was supposed to be crushed by
the carriage, was brought up alive. He was
discovered in distant portion of the mine.
DETAILS OF THE AFFAIR ELECTED.
PITTsToN, May 2S.-An interview with
Martin Cox, one of the miners, who, by the
dispensation of a Divine Providence, was
almost miraculously rescued from the most
horrible doom which sealed the fate of nearly
a score of his fellow-workmen at the West
Pittston catastrophe, elicits the following
We went in at Z A. NJ; my brother Robert
went through from one stairway to another,
and turned on the gas and six miners came
out with him before their shaft was up; the
air was so bad they could not work at all; this
was about fifteen minutes before the fire, and
the seven men came up to the top five
minutes before the fire was discovered.
THE FIRST INTIMATIoN OF FIRE
we had was sound through the mine as if
there was an explosion of gas.
An Englishman said '"There is fire." He
was then working about fifty yards from the
bottom of the shaft, on the west side. then
ran to the bottom of the shaft and saw fire
coming down; ran back to my comrades and
told them ''We are all lost, the shaft is on
fire" we we're seven in ALL we then ran to the
bottom of the shaft, and the burning embeIs
were coming down; we threw on water to put
out the fire, and the smoke became so dense
that we nearly suff ffocated dense volumes came
down the shaft and filed the place; we then
ran over to the west side, in the direction of
the river bridge down the slope, and got in
the door with eleven others. Eighteen alto
gether were in this place.
BATTLING THE SMOKE.
The smoke came in upon us so badly that
we gathered up a COB of fine stuff from the
track and plastered up the cracks of the door,
and also stuffed Goals in the holes, which
stopped the smoke for some time. We now
had time for thought and reflection. No one
expected to see daylight again, and said it
was a second Avondale. We all sung hymns
and prayed, calling on God in His mercy to
save us. AS we all felt doomed beyond
human aid, we ran back and forth through
the gangways for fresh air. At quarter after
P. M. Patrick Farley fell to the ground
twice, and was found dead when the men
came in the place after the fire.
I then went over to the west side for my
coat to help stop out the smoke, as we would
all be suffocated very soon. The men then
passed me carrying back their comrades, who
were dying in their arms. More men were
outside the doors crying out in distress and
anguish, and calling upon God for safety and
succor. None expected to come out alive.
At 7'30 P. M. became insensible, and re-
mained SO until 1 was brought out by my
brother Robert, about 8 A. M. to-day.
Martin Cox is an intelligent Irishman, aged
about % years.

MINING HORROR.

The Terrible Disaster at PittstOn-4O Men
IN a Shaft 300 Feet Deep, and Surrounded
by Fire-HaIf of them Killed.
PrrTsToN, May 27.-The Knight shaft at
West Pittston, owned by the Lehigh Valley
Railroad Company, and operated under lease
by @. A. Blake & Co., of New York, took fire
about o'clock p. NJ, it is supposed from
friction in the hoisting apparatus at the top
of the breaker, and burned fiercely and rapidly
to the ground. At the time some thirty to
forty men were at work in the mine, to which
there is but one outlet, by means of the shaft,
three hundred feet deep
AS mapy as could be were pulled out but
number of victims remain in the mine below
to suffer all the horrors of the Avondale disas-
ter. The engineer stood at his post hosting
away until the timbers supporting the rope
burned away. At this time the carriage was
ascending. All the miners who were on it at
the time were precipitated below and dashed
to pieces at the bottom of the shaft.
GREAT DISTRESS AND ANGUIsH-sTEAM FIRE
ENGINES ARRIVE.
The scene about the shaft is one of great
distress and anguish. Two steam fire engines,
one from Scranton and one from Wilkes
barre, are on the ground.
ENGINES PLAYING ON THE RUINS.
The fire engines are playing on the ruins,
which are SO hot that no one can approach,
and will probably be unable to do before
Sunday morning.
9P MA dog has Just been sent down
the shaft of the mine, and has been brought
up alive, which fact encourages the belief
that the thirty-three men yet in the mine may
be saved.
AN ENTRANCE EFFECTED.
PTTTsToN, May 2S-1'3O P. MAJ half
past - o'clock this morning the workmen
had succeeded in effecting an entrance to
the bottom of the shaft, and brought to the
surface one man, named Andrew Morgan,
who resided at Brandy Patch, Pittston. He
was in a comatose state, with stertorous
breathing, and perfectly insensible. His
pulse was very low. They also found Hiram
Curtis, dead, lying with his face in the water
His body has not yet been brought up.
At a quarter of one o'clock they sent uI
word that the men had barricaded themselve
in, and the cage was sent up for more mel
tools to remove the barricade. But little
hope is entertained of the safety of the re
manning victims.
Tive O'Clock p. M.-Two additional mel
have gone dewn to assist those below II
breaking the bsrricade, but nothing furthe
has been elected up to this time.
THIRTY MEN BROUGHT oUT-EIGHTEEE DEAF
PIrTsToN, May 2S-Noon. to ten
M. thirty men had been brought out, ten
whom were dead, and at noon not more tina
one or two remained in the mine. The tot
number in the mine at the time OF the di
aster was thirty-six or thirty-seven, an

hours was found stone dead.
