details of another horrible disaster. An
explosion occurred, this forenoon, in
Bignall Hill Colliery. North Stafford

disaster ut Oxford, the first reports were
exaggerated. 1t was at first stated that
sixty miners were killed; but subse-

Der to thirty. Eighteen dead bodies
have been recovered. and active efforts
are in progress 10 bring the others to

OF the explosion is not vet known, but
