LATER
Buried in q Mine.

DUNBAR, Pa, June 16.-Thirty-one
miners were killed by an explosion Of
gas in the coal mines at Hill farm,
owned by the Dunbar Furnace company
and located one mile west of this place.
The explosion occurred at 1890 a. m.
to-day. The bodies of two of the unfor-
Inmates were taken out. The others
are still entombed in the mine where a
fierce fire is raging. There is little
doubt that all are dead. Fifty-seven
miners were at work about 5000 feet
from the mouth of the slope when the
explosion occurred. Near the point at
which the heading started, an air hole
had been drilled recently. Gas and
water had accumulated in it. A miner
named Patrick Rerwin penetrated this
air hole, six inches in diameter, with
his pick. whereupon strong stream Of
water gushed out. Kerwin, alarmed,
sounded the danger signal.
His assistant Patrick Hayes, started
hurriedly for the main entrance and
had scarcely moved when the foul gas
was ignited from his lamp. The ex-
plosion that followed was terrific What
little air there was in the place drifted
to the heading at the right of the main
entrance. The fire followed swiftly,
and, before the thirty-one men could
be alarmed, all hope of escape was shut
off by the flames. The twenty-six men
employed in the left heading were noti-
fed of the danger in time to save their
lives, although their escape was thrill
ing and was accompanied by the widest
confusion. At a point near where the
explosion occurred the bodies of Daniel
Siberian, fire boss, and David Hayes
we're found. They had evidently at
tempted to escape through the flames.
