ScorTpALE, Pa, Dec. 26. An explosion
took place to-day in the entrance to the
shaft Of the United Coal and Coke works,
operated by the United Coke company. II
was caused by the ignlting Of a kerosene
oil lamp. One hundred and forty miners
were at work at tho time, but all made
their escape through the various openings
for that purpose.
Some escapes were miraculous. Tho
fire, which is still raging, destroyed all
the loose property in the mine and has
already done enormous damage. The
coal is already said TO be ablaEe and an
immense conllagration which will prac.
tically ruin the mine, is feared. Two per-
