DEATH IN A COAL PIT.
Large Number OF Men Killed and
Wounded.

WILKEsBARRE, Penn. Nov. 90
Shortly after the miners and laborers had
entered Conyngham's shaft this morning
an explosion of gas took place. This shaft
is known to contain considerable gas. and
1t Is owned and operated by the Delaware
X Hudson company.
The accident occurred while the men were
getting ready for work. About fifty men
were sitting at the foot OF the shaft await
ing the inside boss when the explosion oc.
CURED, and only three or four men escaped
without injury. II is known that several,
possibly twelve or fifteen. will die. while
the Others will be Scared. or MANNED for
life. The disaster was caused by Cornelius
Boyle, mine iahorer, who stepped into a
worked.out chamber which was filed with
gas, with lighted lamp on his hat Boyle
will die. Many mules were killed and
wounded, and the damages to: the inside
workings ofthe shaft are great. Fire bosses
William Williams and William Evans are
fatally burned. There is great excitement
in and about the shaft, and full knowledge
as to the exact number of those who We're
hurt, and the character of their wounds,
cannot be obtained at present.
The explosion was the most serious that
has occurred in the anthracite fielIs this
year. 1t is now known that forty-two men
are seriously burned and others slightly in
jured. Twelve of the men will die of their
injuries.
The scene at the colliery when the injured
men were being taken from the shaft was
terrible. crowd of 100 persons had
gathered at the mouth of the shaft, among
them the wives, mothers, and daughters of
the injured men. As they were taken out
of the pit they We're brought to the engine
house, and the women made desperate eff
forts TO gain an entrance. Frantic demon
strations of grief We're made by the women
while the blackened, scorched and bleeding
victims of the disaster were wrapped up in
blankets and taken away. The floor of the
engine house WIS covered with writhing
human forms, 50 disiigured by the fire as to
be unrecognizabc. As fast as possible they
We're taken to the hospital or TO their homes.
and 50 rapidly was the work done that by o
O'Clock all had been taken out and carried
away.

Quite a sensation was caused in the
United States court room in Denver last
Sunday. The suit of the Little Giant VS.
the Durant, which had been on trial for
several days, was given to the jury on Sat
urday evening. In the meantime the Grand
jury had brought in an Indictment against
Thomas Hayes, one of the jurymen, charg-
ing him with the wilful obstruction of the
progress of the courts and criminal contempt
Of the Court. Judge Hallett accordingly at
noon ON Sunday ordered the jury brought
before him and dismissed them with the ex-
ception of Hayes, whom he ordered under
arrest, after having delivered a lecture on
the duties of jurymen which they will be
apt always TO remember. The Tribune-Re-
publican says the charges are to the effect
that Mr.. Hayes, during the recesses of the
court, openly made assertions that he al
ready had his mind made up as to the ver-
dict One remark quoted against him is
that ''if Tom Patterson don't win this case
nobody will" 1t is also alleged that he
would influence other jurymen to think as
did in the matter.
