ALBERT LAcKEY.-ouf Virginia CO.
te~mporaries were wrong In stating
that Albert Lackey, underground
foreman of the Belcher mine, was In
jured so seriously and asphyxihted by
the gas on the occasion Of the great
disaster of Saturday last in the Gold
Hill mines that his recovery was con-
sidered doubtful. A small portion of
gas Immediately about him took fire
from his lighted candle, burning with
n sudden flash and then going out.
Not having any right sleeve to his
working shirt, the skin Of his right
arm was burned in spots from the
wrist to the shoulder, and his hair and
whisEers considerably singed; but he
did not inhale any of the flame.
Taking the %precautlon to tie a damp
towel across his mouth and nose,
he atterward went with Laity
aud Burt through several other
levels of the mine to see that all the
men were out, and also to put ont
what lights might have been left BURN
Ing. They encountered considerable
gas in SO doing, and his two compan-
ions are suffering considerably In con-
sequence of inhaling Is. What little
Lackey inhaled through the towel gave
him simply a temporary headache, out
about worn out when we called to see
him at his residence; his principal
complaint was hunger, which he was
e%ndeavoring to squelch BY means OF
some bread, beefsteak and other things.
His appetite continues good, and he
thinks he may recover IT the grub
doesn't give out.
LOUIS LoUrzELLE.-This unfortunate
man was the blacksmith In charge OF
the forge at the l3OO-foot level OF the
Yellow jacket mine, from whence
proceeded the fire, causing the terrible
disaster of Saturday morning last.
lie was warned All hour or two before
that n fire communicating with neigh
boring wood work had already been
put ont at his forge, and that he must
look out for it. 1t would appear, how
ever. that, owing to domestic trouble
AN erring daughter-he had been de-
prived Of rest and peace Of mind,
hence. he did not attend to his duty,
and was not watchfully at his post as
he should have been. When last seen
alive. Louizelle was endeavoring to
force his way through the smoke and
gas to e%Xtinsulsh the fire, doubtless
%appreciating the idea that through hiS
own negligence, the lives OF all IN
that and the mines adjoining were
in danger. Captain Cosgrove. who,
with Kohler and others, was escaping
from the terrible danger, shouted to
him to come away, but he replied that
he was going to put out that fire. lie
was even then bewildered, and when
aiterward found n lot Of tools which
he had held In his hands, and was tak-
ing to the forge, lay by his side. lie
did not fall 200 feet down the shaft, as
mistakenly sta'ed in the Virginia
Chronicle, but [ ell dead about 100 feet
north OF the shat / in the same DRIFT or
level where his forge was situated.
