The following are the particulars of
the explosion of the Henry Clay colliery
here yesterday. The colliery had not
been inspected for some time, but was
always considered safe. 1t has capaci.
ty for mining 5000 tons of coal per
month, and sixty-fve men are employed
in it. Conrad Brumheiser the inside
boss, went into an old working on the
water level when the explosion imme-
diatly followed, caused, it is thought, by
fire damps being fired, which communi-
Gated with the air ways from the water
level into the stope below, where the
men worked. The miners in this section
of the coal region, not being accustomed
to black damps, thought it was blasting
powder that had been set off. They
remained in the stope until almost over
come with black damp and then starting
to come up, met the body of the water
damps and fell sensless. The stronger
men managed to get out, however, and
gave the alarm to the guide and others,
who followed, but on reaching the top
of the stope they fell back, being COM
pletely overcome. John Hans, the out
side boss, on hearing the alarm immedi-
atty went to the rescue. After proceed
ing about FIVE hundred yards he fell face
downwards in pool Of water and was
drowned. Enoch Magenski was found
drowned by his side. Eight men were
brought out dead. There was no caving
in of the mine, as at first supposed, and
there was no fault in the ventilations.
The accident resulted from the old gas
exploding in disused working. Up to
10 O'Clock last night ten dead bodies
were taken out. Many of the men from
the surrounding mines came to render
assistance. The excitement is intence-
wives and children rushing to the scene
of disaster to find their husbands and
brothers dead or gasping for breath,
afffVaiP t u ifrshds on the stage Wago ens
from below. There were so men in the
stage at the time of the explosion, thirty.
five of whom are known to have escaped
and will recover. VIM. Brown, a promi-
nent coal operator at this place, fell down
the Daniel Webster shaft this afternoon,
one hundred and sixty-fve feet deep.
His leg was broken, and he was other
wise severely injured. The body of
Conard Brumheiser is not yet found,
but the men are working with a will to
get to him. His time-book was found
this morning. Five of the victims will
be buried tomorrow. The Coroner s
jury adjourned till tomorrow morning,
they not coming to definite conclusion,
but the deaths are generally attributed
to fire damps.
