FEARFUL MINE EXPLOSION.

Over Hundeed Lives Lost BY Explo-
sion of Fire Damp In an English COlliery.
MANCHESTER, June ia terrible ex-
plosion of fire damp occurred this morn
ing at Clifton Hall Colliery near this city.
There were $50 men in the mine at the
time, l20 of whom have been rescued.
Two hundred and thirty are entombed aud
it is feared they will be either suffocated
or burned to death, if indeed they
are not already dead. Great excitement
prevails, and the scenes in the vicinity OF
the mine are heartrending in the extreme.
Wives mothers and other relatives and
friends are congregated near the en-
frances, crying, shrieking and imploring
God to save their loved ones imprisoned
below.
MANCHESTER, June .1s.-The cages
used by the exploring parties got stuck
in tine descending shaft, and delayed them
fully two hours. They have not yet sue
ceeded in reaching the imprisoned min
ers. The rescued men say that at the
time of the explosion they rushed to the
bottom of the main shaft, and barely got
there with their lives. They are ignorant
of the fate of those left behind.
LONDON, June ia dispatch received
late Yesterday afternoon from Manches-
ter says that up to $3.50 p. m. 100 addi-
tional miners had been rescued from the
colliery, or about $50 in all. Eighteen
dead bodies had been taken out. It was
thought that at least 100 men were still
