THE FATED WYOMING VALLEY.
1t is Visited by Large Cavern and a
Deadly Gas Explosion Which Re
suits in the Killing of Num-
Der of Miners.

The long series of mine disasters that
have occurred in the Wyoming region of
late years reached a climax on Thursday
of last week when 80 men and boys were
entombed in the Jersey colliery of the
Lehigh and Wilkes-Barre Coal Company
at Ashley. The men were at work in the
mines when cave-in of unusually large
proportions took place without the slight
est warning-covering, it is believed, an
area of four square miles-blockading all
means OF entrance to the other parts of
the workings. In the meantime an ex-
plosion of gas had taken place that shat
tered everything within reach and horri-
bly, burned the men who were entombed.
The crash was also felt on the surface as
the several houses situated near the cave
were badly wrecked. A party was soon
formed from the immense crowd that
had gathered around the slope TO rescue
the imprisoned miners alive, if possible,
by digging at point where it was thought
they could be reached the quickest. An
entrance was effected early in the even
ing, when party made descent into
the workings and brought out the bodies
of three men alive, but the party were
unable to penetrate further owing to the
foul air. The work of deliverance was
still pushed on and on Friday morning a
large entrance was forced through, when
an exploring party descended into the
workings in good hopes of finding some
of the imprisoned miners alive, but only
to find the remains of twenty-five of
their workmen frightfully burned
and mutilated by the fatal gas explosion
and the falling of rock and dirt. They
were dead.
A further search was made on Satur-
day and four more bodies were taken
from the fatal mine. 1t is not yet
definitely learned how many men were
in the mines at the time of the explosion
as a number of strangers were seen to
enter in search of work, and who have
since disappeared.
The names of the victims are: j.
Cross, John Allen, Henry Parry, Owen
Parry, Ellis d. Williams, Thomas Clauss.
Joshua Williams, Richard J. Jones, Will
liam Jones, j. L. Williams, Daniel Sulli-
van, William l.. Edwards, r. j. Will
liams, Robert Pritchard, Thos. G. Davis,
John James, Chas. James Jno. Hausem,
Barley Rapescher, Simon Rabol, Mich
ael Scaty, John Scally, Henry Clauss
and two Polanders whose names are not
known.
OF the three first who were taken out
alive, Robert Roberts, Anthony Frain and
John Allen, the latter has since died and
is mentioned in the above list.
A number of the victims were inferred
on Saturday and Sunday.
An appeal for aid from the charitable
public has been sent out by the authori-
ties of Ashley borough for the families
of the miners who were killed in this
disaster. % widows and 60 orphans
were thrown on the mercy of the world,
and all in destitute circumstances.
