FRIGHTFUL EXPLOSION
OF Gas in Coal Mine.-A Number OF
Miners Killed and Horribly Burned.
WILKEsBARRE, Pa. Oct. 81.

NlLhksBAhkE, W OCl. 1.
A terrific explosion of gas took place in
the No. slope of the Delaware & Hudson
Coal Co. at Plymouth, this mornng. The
greatest excitement prevails there. as the
slope is full of men and boys. One report
has II that the number of killed will be large
SO far as can be learned, fifteen men are
known to be fatally burned.
The coroner has been notified of the acci-
dent. 1t Is now reported that of the fifteen
men burned, fourteen have since died. Priests
from this city and Naudicoke have been tel.
egraphed for.
Another dispatch SAYS: The accident at
No. slope of the Delaware & Hudson Coal
Co. at Plymouth was caused by a miner who
entered an abandoned portion of the slope
with naked lamp, thereby firing the gas and
causing an explosion. One man, named
David Titus, is dead, and fourteen are fright
fully burned. Most of these it is thought
cannot recover
The miner who went into the abandoned
opening and fired the gas that caused the
explosion at No. slope was Peter Zetintzky.
There were two explosions. The first was
that OF gss, which was soon followed by an
other sweeping everything before it, sending
flame of fire up the slope and above the fan
house and knocking the shingles and timbers
IL
Zetlntzky was removed from the slope with
only his boots on and no hair on his head,
but he was otherwise uninjnred. The scene
that ensued was terrible. Victims of the dis
sster lay in every direction. Titus was in-
stantly killed and when found lay 200 feet
away from his kit of tools. which he was ex-
aiming 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 the cars or ribs of the gangways
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. The following is
list of the dead and wounded:
Dennis Titus, dead. The Others were hor-
ribly burned and breathed the flames to such
an extent that their injuries are considered
fatal. The following are their names: An
thony Spinnett, Frank Spinnett, John Levitt
sky, Thomas McDermott, Alexander Love,
John Colby, John Kirst, David Grimes, John
Woods, Joseph Thomas, David Bryans,
Frank Lamareux, Thomas Howard, Thomas
Collins and Edward Jones. The shaft at
which the accident occurred is one of the
largest operated by the Delaware & Hudson
Co.
Thomas Collins, miner, and Anthony
Spnnett and John Levtsky, Polish laborers,
have since died.
