EXPLOSION OF FIRE DAMP.
The West Leisenring COal-Mine Disaster
Repeated Near UniontOwn.
An Explosion in the Mines of the Youngs-
town Coke Company Results in the
Death of Twenty-Five Miners.

UNIoNTowN, Pa, Oct. 27-An explosion of
fre-damp with results probably as fatal as at
tended the terrible disatser at West Leisenring
last January, when nineteen lives were
lost, occurred at the mines of the Youngstown
Coke Company, four miles from here, between
and o'clock this morning. The explosion took
place in the sixth right hand fiat where about
twenty-five men were at work. The fire boss
made his rounds as usual this morning
and discovered no signs of gas. The
day force went to work, and at
this afternoon were relieved by the night
turn Twenty minutes later, and just after the
pit boss, James Cole and Superintendent Refs had
come up from the mine and gone to the Office, an
explosion occurred, which shattered windows
for mile around. Five minutes later there
was second report, and Immediately after
flames burst forth from the openings, blockingup
the avenues of entrance News of the disaster
spread quickly, aud friends and relatives of the
doomed miners gathered around the mouth of
the mine but the fierce flames prevented any
attempt at rescue. After an hours work. how
ever, the flames were subdued sufficiently
to allow of descent by way of an air shaft. At
this writing volunteers have only been able to
reach part of the mine owing to after damp
and it is feared that the entire roof of the sixth
fat has fallen in. If this is the case none of
the miners at work there can be
saved. Men in all parts of the mine
who escaped after the explosion
Cured made an attempt to rescue their com
panions, but were unable to reach them The
killed and injured thus far discovered are:
Joseph Zebley night pumper, single, aged
twenty two killed; Jack Lapes, roperider thirty,
single, killed; Jack Cole and David Cole, his son,
seriously, and it is thought fatally injured;
Chauncey Wilson slightly injured
Washington Nibber has just been rescued. He
is not much hurt, as he had the presence of mind
to lie down in pool of water and
avoid inhalng the gas. This makes
six that have been taken out-two dead
four injured-Jacob Cole and son probably
fatally. Every effort is being made to rescue
Others but up to late hour these efforts have
been in vain. There is scarcely chance for any
of them to be taken out alive it is thought all
have persisted from the deadly after-damp.
The air in the vicinity of the mine is filled with
the cries of the wives and children of the imprs-
oned men. There are plenty of willing hands
ana hearts who ready to risk their lives in
trying to them, but it is impossible to get
at them now and not before morning will the
terrible tale be known.
1t is not known how the explosion occurred. 1t
was just such day as that after the West Leisen-
ring disaster. The atmosphere was heavy and
murky, which is regarded as favorable for the
accumulation of fire damp in the mines; never
theless no gas had been discovered IN the mines
for more than a month.
