Explosion
PITTsToN, August 10.
The investigation as to the cause of the
mine disaster will take place today or
tomorrow. The inspector states It as his
opinion that II was caused by a fall in the
adjoining passage. Mr.. Smiles, a PittstOn
and Elmira Coal Company Superinten.
dent, thinks that the accumulation OF fire
damp had been standing In some unap.
proachablo part Of the mine for some
time, and the fall Of coal forced gus upon
the naked lamps causing tho explosion
and throwing down an immense amount
of coal and rock, which disarranged the
proper working of tho air ways on which
miners depend virtually. A statement IS
made that inspection never had been
made by either Inspector Blewitt, MinO
Inspector, or his predecessor. Nicholas
Blewitt says that ho Is anxious h thorough
examination be made, as there are vari
GUS ways In which the explosion may
have been caused. There Is no evidence
that tho men died by conclusion Of the
air. Tho men when found did not pre-
sent evidence Of having survived long
after the explosion. A son Of David
Owens, Richard, was found clasped In his
fathers arms. The boy was badly burned
and the father was uninJnred.
