PoRr Y PRIDE, Wales, Dec. 90.
A terrible colliery explosion has occurred
today at LOndale pit, near this place, and 400
miners are said to be entombed,
later dispatch says that ~ dead bodies
have been taken from the pit, and 30 miners
have been rescued more or less injured. The
remainder of those who were in the mine
at the time of the explosion are be-
lieved to be safe.
The explosion occurred in the upper of two
seams. There were $50 men in the mine at
the time, majority of whom were in the
lower seam, otherwise the death list would
have been much larger. At least so men
were killed in the upper seam and scores
terribly burned. The injured were carried
to places of safety by their more fortunate
companions.
The latest dispatches from the accident say
that 800 men have been rescued, seven OF
whom are so fearfully burned that they may
die

RIOT AMONG MINERS.
WOrkmen Compelled to Return to Their
Homes Under Heavy Fire-Miners to
be Armed for Self Protection.

PITTsBURG, Pa, Dec. 90.
At about o'clock Wednesday morning, rs
masked men put in an appearance at the Old
Eagle mines of W. II. Brown & Co., near
Monopgahela City, and the miners as they
approached were halted and compelled to re-
turn to their homes under heavy fire. The
strikers seemed more desperate than upon any
previous occasion. They were all armed and
at least twenty-five shots were fred. Super
intendent Jones of the Old Eagle mine says
the strikers had evidently lain in wait in the
woods, near the mines, for the greater part
of the night, as they were not observed until
they rushed down the hillside, firing their re-
volvers and guns. The workmen were fright
ened almost to death and ran for their lives
No one was shot but number we're injured
in their eagerness to escape. Two whose
names could not be learned, jumped over
small precipice and were quite seriously in
jured. After all the miners had been driven
off, Superintendent Jones took charge, but
he also was compelled to retreat under threats
of bodily harm. At ii o'clock. all was re-
ported to be quiet. the strikers having de-
parted shortly after daylight. 1t is said that
the working miners in the Old Eagle pits will
be supplied with arms today for their protec-
ton in the future.
later dispatch says that the strikers are
still in possession OF the mine. An attack
with stones was also made on the homes Of
miners and windows broken in about twenty
five houses.
Miners Firing Again on Negroes.
BEvIER, Mo-, Dec. 90
Trouble between the working and the idle

Tuesday morning when a freight train was
leaving here, fifteen shots were fred from
box car. at some colored men who were load
ing coal into the cars on top of apt. No one
was hit and as the negroes we're unarmed the
firing was not returned. The negroes seemed
but little excited over the occurrence but had
any one been injured would doubtless have
! retaliated in a deadly manner. They say
that if the war is to be renewed they are
ready for it.
ST. Louis, Dec. 90.
A special from Bevier, No., says much
excitement exists among the miners there.
The firing continued all night on the stockade
By idle miners, but no one was injured.
The proprietors of the mine have called on
the sheriff for aid in resisting the attack which
it is expected will be made tonight.
