A FRleHTFuL HORROR.
The Deadly Fire Damp Claims Score Of
Victims In Pennsylvania Coal Mine.

The Deadly Fire Damp Claims a Score OF
Victims in Pennsylvania Coal Mine.
uNIOSroWS, Pa, October 27.-An ex.
plosion of fire damp with results probably
as fatal as attended the terrible disaster at
West Leisenring last January, when nine.
teen lives were lost, occurred at the
mines Of the Youngstown Coke Company,
four miles from here, between four and FIVE
o'clock this evening, The explosion took
place in the sixth right-hand fat where
about twenty. FIVE men were at work. The
fire boss made his rounds as usual this
morning and discovered no sigas Of
gas. The day force went to
work and at four o'clock 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
the windows for mile around. Five min
utes later there was second report and
Immediately after
Flames Burst Forth
from the openings, blocking up the avenues
of the entrance News Of the disaster
spread quickly and the friends and relatives
Of the doomed miners soon gathered around
the mouth of the mine, but the fierce flames
prevented any attempt at rescue.
After hours of work, however,
the flames were subdued sufficiently to al
low descent by way of the air shaft At this
writing the volunteers have only been able
to reach part of the mine, owing to after
damp and it is feared that the entire roofof
the sixth fiat has fallen in Ifthisis the case
none Of the miners at work can be saved.
The Dead and Dying.
The killed and injured thus far discover
ed are Joseph Zebly, night pumper, single
aged u, killed; Jack Lapes, rope rider,
aged 60, single, killed; Jack Cole, and Da-
vid Cole, his son, seriously and it is thought
fatally injured; Chauncey Wilson, slightly
injured. 1t is believed at least fifteen more
are killed.

Indiana-Spring so far wet and back

IoWa-Wheat and oats are in, coming

was the Park Bluff, which was badly in
jured by striking the Keokuk bridge

the disaster which befel the Ora nd

called upon to recount similar acct
dent to the Sidney, at Clinton, at seven
o'clock this morning. The boat'left Du

trip, having been repaired and
greatly improved the past season. She
was The pride of the Diamond 10
line, andwas under the command of Capt.
Best. While passing through the bridge
at Clinton this morning, she struck pier
and large hole was knocked in her hull.
The pilot ran her aground an island, q
short distance below the bridge, after
having been filled with about six feet of
water. The passengers and crew were
thoroughly scared, but no loss of life was
experienced
Said Capt George Lamont this after
noon, THAT settles the accident business
As a general rule about three occur every
season, and one falls close upon the heels
OF the other" We trust that he is right
and that everything will run along serene
