Washington special says: Colonel Moore,
Andrew Johnson's stenographic secretary,
now Cashier Of the Metropolitan Bank,
says of Chauncey Depew's statement
His stenographic notes of the correspond
ence between Johnson and Grant show that

require him to be absent from Washington
longer than until the meeting of Congress

whole course in the White House refuted
these charges.

DETAILS OF THE DISASTER.
WILKEsBARRE, October 21st.-The miner
who went into the abandoned opening and
fired the gas that caused the explosion at
No. shaft was Peter Zelintzky There
were two explosions. The first was that of
gas, which was soon followed by another |
sweeping everything before it, sending a |
flame of fire up the slope and. above
the farmhouse, and sending the shingles |
and timbers from the breaker flying 400 |
feet above the earth. Zelintzky was not |
killed, and was removed from the slope
with only his boots on and no hair on his |
head. he was otherwise uniniured The |
scene that ensued was terrible. The vic |
tins of the disaster lay in every direction |
Titus was instantly killed, and when found |
lay 200 feet away from his kit of tools, |
which he was examining at the time of the |
explosion. When the gas was ignited, all |
the men in the slope were violently thrown |
to the ground or against cars or ribs of the |
gangway. The lights on their heads were
extinguished by the shock of the second
explosion, and all were in confusion,
making their way through the flames, and
managing with great difficulty to reach
place of safety. Four miners were killed
outright, and twelve others were horribly
burned, and breathed the flames to, such an
extent that their injuries are considered
fatal.
