Seventeen Lives Lost by an Accident in q

Pennsylvania Colliery.
LOCK HAVEN Pa, Nov "a terrible
explosion occurred last night in the Kettle
Coal Mining company's new mines, located
thirty miles west Of here. Of the twenty
one men employed in the drift seventeen
were either killed OF fatally injured. AS
soon as possible after the explosion a res
cuing party entered the drift, and after an
hours hard work recovered fourteen dead
bodies. Two of the injured subsequently,
died. All but four of the killed were Hun

are:

The driver, named j. Farrell, was enter
ing the drift when the explosion occurred.
He was thrown toward the mouth and es-
capped His mule was killed. The force of
the explosion was shown in the fact that
bodies were blown clear out of the mouth
of the drift. The naked body of one
miner was found this afternoon fifty feet
from the mouth of the air shaft, through
which it had been blown.
1t is thought that in making the blast a
''gas-feeder'' was struck, filling the cham
ber with gas, which coming in contact with
a naked lamp, produced the explosion. A
"gas-feeder" is a pocket Of gas imbedded
in the coal. AS soon as a pick is stuck into
it the gas escapes, and if anything ignites
it an explosion follows 1t is generally
conceded that there was good ventilation
and the mines were fully supplied with air.

accident could not have been foreseen and
that no blame attaches to any one.
The bodies of the dead were taken charge

terment. The coroner of the county was
notified and will hold an inquest. The
mine inspector of the district has also been
summoned.

To Explore .Greenlana.

Chicago Times: An Arctic expedition
which has not thus far attracted much
attention, although it may possibly pro-
duce some valuable scientific results, is
gong TO start from Scandinavia this
coming summer. The interior of Green
land is almost wholly unknown, AS
far as the explorers have hitherto been
able to penetrate. it has been found
covered with ice and snow, although
Count Nordenskjold believes that In the
unexplored interior there Is a part of the
country free from ice and snow. Whether
this be true will probably be ascertained
by this expedition, which is expected TO
give to the scientific world much vaiu-
able information in geology, botany,
zoology and meteorology.
Among the efforts that have been
made before to explore the interior OF
Greenland may be mentioned the two
expeditions OF Count N~ordenskloid in
1887 and 1888. and those of the Ameri-
cans, Hays and Parry, in 1860 and 1887,
respectively. N~ordenskiold ON his last
expedition was accompanied by two
/" Laps,n Finlanders, with their Skis"
s kind OF snow shoe very similar to the
American toboggans, about two to three
yards long and four OF five inches broad.
The expedition is to be headed by O Mr..
Nansen, at present connected with. the
Bergen museum. Mr.. Manson is an ex-
pert f'ski lobes'' snd an able scientist /.
He will associate with him three or four
of the best ssski lobes' he can get, end
among those selected are one or two of
those Norwegian soldiers who last fell
visited America to partake in the Chi
cago encampmeDt.
While all the other expeditions have
started from the Danish colonies, on
the west side f Greenland. Mr.. Nasen's
intention is to start from the east side,
from a place in the neigbborhood OF
Cape Dan about sc degrees north lsti-
tude. where be expects to get ashore
from some Norwegian eealer. He thinks
that the expedition in that way will be
forced to fulfil it's journey, as there will
hardly be any possibility OF returning,
the only population OF the east side
being some Esquimaux, whose villages
are anything but charming abodes
Another advantage of this arrangement
is that he will not then need to CROSS the
continental glacier more than once,
while the former expeditions in case of
success would have had to- return the
same way they advanced.
The whole distance from coast to coast
is about 400 miles, and, %snpposinG the
explorers advance twelve TO fifteen
miles aday, a very small run for q aski
|lober}y' about thirty days will be needed
for the crosslng. They will take with
them however, necessary provisions for
about two months, and these, together
with the necessary scientific Instruments
change OF clothes, aleeping bags. and SO
forth, they will have TO draw on sheds.
The necessary financial support will
be given the explorers by Mi. Camel,
q coffee merchant OF Copenhagen.
