OVERCOME BY GAS.
Terrible Accident In n Mne-A Number of
Lives Lost.


Lives Lost.
lBy telegraph to the Dispatch.l
WILKsBARRE. Pa, August H.
The mine of the West-End Coal Com
pany, operated by Coryingham, Teas
dale & Co., at Mocanaqua, was the
scene of peculiar and terrible accident
this morning. just before the night
shift went off duty the fan broke.
The boss knew this; so did the men
on the dsy-shift, before they entered
the mine; but, Notwithstanding, they
went into the mine, taking great
risk. There were about thirty in all,
who were supplied with safety lamps,
as it was well known gas would ac-
cumulate. About seyenty-fye men
were in the mine about the time work
begun.
The wOrkmcn repairing the fan were
the first who were overcome with the
gas, and about an hour later the same
fate was shared by many miners in the
mine. Before the men fairly realized
their danger more than twenty were
unconscious. Those who could then
escape did so. Superintendent John
Teasdale, with corps of men, went
down the mine to assist the men in
making their escape, and after being in
the mine half an hour Teasdale became
unconscious, as did several Of his men,
who were with difficulty rescued.
Others went down. and in the face Of
immense difficulties and in spite Of
being continually overcome by the gas,
got out all but ten men. Three Of
those brought out were dead, and
those in the mine are beyond
doubt dead. The dead, as far as
learned, are James Whalen, William
Eineby, Peter BOrnitzki, John Dilday,
and Herman Mead. Among those seri-
ously overcome with gas and badly in
jured are Burt Tromer, Thomas Hutch
inson, John Andrews, John Teasdale,
Jr., Henry Group. John Easily. Viii
liam Good, and Frederick Horne.
Others were badly hurt, but their
names are not yet aScertained. DR..
Hughes, a prominent physician of
ShickShinnY, went down into the mine
to assist the injured men, and was
overcome by gas. lie was rescued
with difficulty, and was brought to the
surface scnseless six hours after the
accident. Superintendent John Teas
dale, who is also part owner of the
mine, is still unconscious.
The boss at the mine of the West
End Coal Company says he notified the
men before they entered the mine
that the fan had stopped. and that it
was not safe for them to enter, as the
mine was filling with gas. This is de-
MED by the miners and laborerS, who,
on the contrary. say that he told them
to go to work; that the fan was broken
but would be repaired and put in work
ing order in an hour. When they
entered the mine everything appeared
10 be all right until they begsn to smell
the fatal air and sulphur fumes, and be-
fore they could get out many were over
come and sulocsted. The disaster is
considered singular in its nature, and
stands alone and unprecedented in the
history of mines. 1t could have been
easily seen and prevented. but, being
one Of those singular oyerSights, caused
disaster. The death-rOil nov numbers
twelve.

should be laced, and should reach well
above the ankle. It should not be loose
on the feet at all; indeed, It should ii
snugly all over the foot. Il Is common
idea that skating shoe should be large
and loose; but this o fallacy, and such 9
shoe will cause trouble with the ankles.
Especially Is close-fitting shoe necessary
when the club and clamp skates are used,
and where no straps support the foot. a
lady's skating shoe, with its low ana
broad heel, does not give the foot . par
ticularly attractive appearance, and hence
the shoe, as described, is not extensively
worn, but II would give the skater more
comfort ii she would wear one like 1t.
