sMoTHERED TO DEATH IN A MINE.

Pittsto6, Pa, May, 29.-A column
of smoke, which soon grew dense, rising
from the shaft of the West Pittston
mine yesterday afternoon, at 2 o'clock
told that the shat. was on fire, and
caused an immediate rush of all the
people about here for the rescue of the
numerous miners known to be below
There succeeded "a hours Of desperate
exertion to subdue the fire and to pene.
trate the recesses of the mine before all
the unfortunate meu should be suffocated
AT the end of that period, the last Of
the 3S who had been entombed was
brought to the surface. Eighteen were
dead. Most of the others were in o
state of iusensibility when found, but
recovered upon reaching the air above
ground. With the horrors of Avondale
fresh 10 their minds, few had dareo to
hope that any of these men could be
saved, and the grief-stricken women
aud children clustered as near as they
could about the mouth of the shaft,
wailling piteously, and almost hopelessly
awaiting the result of the search below.
To some of them, who were at first ap-
palled by the sight of the apparently
| lifeless body Of husband when brought
to the surface, there came the great
| happiness of finding that it was but a
| seeming death. But rising above all
/ else were the loud lamentations Of
| newly-made widows and orphans, and
strong men paled as they worked about
the shaft with frenzied energy.
1t has not yet been clearly ascertained
| how the fire originated, though it ap-
pears to have been caused by friction in
the journals Of the sheaves, or of the
breaker, as at Avondale.
LATER.
Pittston, Pa, May 29.-The men who
were thought to be rescued from the dan.
gers of the mine are dying one by one,
and the phyticians in attendance express
little hope that any of them will survive.
! A number of them were exceedingly strong
men. but the poisonous vapor of the mine,
acting on their systems during so many
hours, has utterly prostrated them. The
nervons exhaustion succeeding the shock
of realizing the hopelessness of their sit
uation, when the nature of the calamity
was discovered, has also, no doubt, much
aggravated their injuries Sulpharous
gases are continually emitted from the lay
ers of coal, and to escape these, as they
accumulated far down in the mine and
gra a1ually rose, the fated miners sought
the highest accessible points, to await the
efforts at rescue. 1t is now believed that
many of them might have been saved, if,
as soon as the mouth of the shaft was
cleared, fan had been employed to force
air down into the passages where the men
were, and drive back the rising tide of
choke damp. The large fan which had
been used at the mine was burned, and in
the confusion the expediency of applying
a new one was neglected, until it was too
late.
