COLLIERY EXPLOSION
In Englsnd-OVer Two Hundred and Twenty Men In

In Englsnd-OVer Two Hundred and Twenty Men In
the Pit-The Shafts BlOckaded by the
Cages-Many Miners Killed.
London, Sept. 8 -12M.-An explosion occurred
this morning at seaham collery, near Durham.
Both shafts are blocked, though half mile apart
Between two hundred and fifty and three hun.
dred men are in the pit, 1t is known that some
are alive.
London, Sept. 1.-THE explosion in seaham
coal mine makes rs widows and 5S7 orphans, A
large number of victims were single men. At 2
o'clock yesterday the first Of the victims of the
disaster were brought up from the mine. Before
all the bodies could be removed the FIRE broke out
again and was not extingutshed until 7oclOck.
One hundred and thirty is the lowest estimate of
the dead, and 1t is estimated that there were 400
horses and ponies In the mine. The bodies OF
the l3 men brought up are frightfully disfgured
There are II more bodies near the pit shaft 1t
will be some time before the other bodies can be
recovered and some may never be found, as they
are buried under the debris of the explosion.
Another fire has begun in number three shaft, at
the ventiatiDg furnace. This will delay the ex.
plOrations.
From the list published 1t appears 1853 men and
boys are missing. The latest official statement
places the number at 147 A broken davy safety
lamp has been brought up from the main seam,
and 1t is believed 1t will throw some light on the
origin of the disaster.
