DOWN IN A COAL MINE.
Fearful Explosion and Loss of Life


WILKEsBARRE, November 26-930 A.
M.-An explosion Of gas occurred in the
Conyngham shaft this morning shortly
after the miners and laborers had entered,
and it is said between twenty and thirty
were burned and seriously injured. None,
however, were reported to have been
killed. But little can be learned yet re-
garding the accident The men are still
in the pit, but they will be removed as
soon as possible The shaft is owned and
operated by the Delaware and Hudson
Company, and was known to contain con-
siderable gas.
1850 A. M.-Later particulars concern
ing the accident in Conyngham shaft show
that the explosion occurred ten minutes
past o'clock, while the men were getting
ready to 90 to work. About fifty miners
and laborers were sitting at the foot of
the main shaft waiting for the inside boss
when the explosion occurred and only
three or four of them, as far as can be
ascertained, escaped without injury.
Most of the men were sent to their homes
at once, and as they are scattered and at
long distances from the shaft no account
of the result of their injuries can at this
writing be obtained 1t is known, how
ever, that number, possibly ten or
twelve, will die, and many others be
SCARED or manned for life. The explosion
was caused by Cornelius Boyle, a miner
and laborer, who stepped into worked-out
chamber which was filled with gas with a
lighted lamp upon his hat. Boyle will
die. Many mules were killed or wounded,
and the damage to the inside workings of
the shaft is great Fire-bosses William
Williams and William Evans are reported
fatally burned. There is great excitement
in the vicinity of the shaft.
