A TERRIBLE DISASTER.

A NINE ON FlRE-TEARFUL Loss OF LIFE.
LONDON, Sept. 12.-The full extent OF
the terrible disaster in the coal mine ~ Ap-
srcorn yesterday is now known. At half
past two o'clock this morning flooding OF
the pit was begun. At that hour the nre
was within short distance Of the bottom
of the shaft and all hope of further rescue
had to be abandoned. When this decision
was announced to the relatives Of the 25l
men still in the pit the scene was terrible
beyond description. Thirteen addit'ona
bodies of victims of the explosion were re-
covered before the flooding of the pit be-
gan.
The Abercorn colliery is the property Of
e. B. B. W. Vale Steel Iron and Coal Com
D any, one OF the largest iron aud coal pro-
prietors In South Wales. It is situated .
few hundred yards from the Abercorn
Railway station, in the western valley sec
tion of the Moumouthshire Railway
The valley bone of the most charming in
the district. and lies within sight Of the
Crumpton yiaduet, so well known to trav-
ellers. The pit, which 10 $50 yards deep,
and one of the largest and best markets in
the district, was yielding 900 tons OF
steam coal daily. The machinery for wind
ing, pumping, and ventilating was of the
hest kind, and the use Of safety lamps 10
the mine was rigidly enforced.
The cause Of the explosion cannot be even
surmised. Three detonatious were success
tally heard on the surface. The frame
work and castings of the pit were thrown
to height of 800 feet above the mouth OF
the shaft.
The colliery upwards Of thousand hands
Of whom 37S, taking tax ng their turn, or
Shift" went down at II o. clock this morn
ing. Twenty-one of the number came up
at noon, up to which time nothing had oc-
CURED to create suspicion Of danger.
Alta p. m, . loud, rumbling noise was
heard, quickly followed by flash of flame
from the pits mouth and column OF
smoke, dust, and debris ascending high
into the air.
The explosion damaged the winding gear,
thus destroying the only means of commu-
nication with the men in the pit.
As soon as the gearing could be repaired
working parties were sent down the shaft,
and eighty-two men and boys, working
within hundred yards of the shaft were
rescued. u...
But 1t became evident as attempts were
name to advance into the workings that but
little hope could be entertained of any life
surviving.
About 400 yards from the bottom of the
shaft are the stables, and here fourteen
horses were found, all dead.
Beyond this point the explorers could not
20, on account of the impurity of the air
aud the prevalence of choke-damp. Volun-
taer explorers succeeded in bringing out ton
or twelve men very much burnt, and also
seven dead bodies, but 1t Is feared that no
Others can be, for the present, got at, in
consequence Of the fire extending, and
there remains no reasonable hope that any
further lives will be saved.
The whole district Of Monmouthshire is
much excited, and 1t seemed last night as
If the entire female population of the dis
trict had gathered abort the mouth OF the
shaft.

A late dispatch from Washington
has the following: sc. F. Horn and
Geo. w. Bibbens claimed a patent for
$50 feet of the Marcelina east lode in
the Eureka Mining District. The To-
cation was made in March 2, 1871, and
was recorded March 10, 1871. Notice
was posted, advertisement made, and
citizenship was proved. &. X. Great
horn filed an adverse claim May z,
1872, and began suit, but falling to
move the case on the trial calendar for
twelve terms, the Land Commissioner
held that he had not exercised due dill
gence, and refused to suspend the
application for patent. w. X. Pritch-
ard, A. II. Wilson, A. G.. Pritchard,
Guadalupe Rayveras and Marcelina
Caratants located the Marcelina min
ing claim November 3, 1859, consisting
OF twelve hundred feet, and sold the
same TO the Marcelina Silver Company,
which filed a claim adverse to Horn IL
Bibbins May 7, 1872, but as the com
pany has failed to bring suit, as re.
CURED by the State, its appeal ia the
Secretary from the adverse decision OF
the Commissioner, is dismissed without
a hearing"
