Forty-four Men ismed by AN Explosion.


HALIFAX, N. ), Nov. 70. About G.30 this morning
an explosion Off gas occurred on the south side Of
Ford Pit, OF Stenrton. All the miners were at
work in different bands The explosion was SO
terrible as to sweep quite across to the othor side
Of tho pit, killing men and horses within reach.
Almost all kio men OIL the north side will be
saved, while all 0t work OF the south side have
been lost, At least sixty arc missing. Full par

forty nre shut up with the fallen coal on the south
side. The henccident, II Is presumed was caused by
some miner firing shot iii the forbidden part Of
the workings.
The following are the names OF the missing men,
OF whom there Is no hope of recovering alive :
firer. James Lehman. John Carr, Edward Savage

badly that very little hopes are enieraned Of their
recovery: Mathew Mcpherson. William Duphar

II is feared another explosion Will occur when the
pit gathers gas again. Work is totally suspended
