HALIFAX,

iihhirNN' way IL.
The community were startled tonight
with the intelligence that terrible explo-
sion had occurred in the Drllmmond colliery,
Picton county, at one o'clock, to-day.
Manager Dunn, assistant manager Richard
son and forty workmen were in the pit
when the explosion took place.
Great excitement prevailed above ground
after the fearful occurrence, and crowds of
people for miles around came rushing to
the scene of the disaster and saw one of
those heart rending scenes which is de-
scribed by eye witnesses as something har-
rowing beyond all conception. Mothers,
wives, sisters. children and friends crowded
around the burning pit, mourning ptifully
at the terrible fate of those below, their
heart rending cries being heard for long
distance.
LATEST
Every effort has been and is being made
to re cue the men, but so far without sue
cess, and il is feared they all persisted. The
fire up to this time @ p. M is still raging,
although cndcavors are being made to put
it out. Assistance from Pictou and New
Glasgow, where great excitement prevails,
is at hand, and strenuous efforts are being
made to subdue the conflagration.
