NEARLY $50 MINERS KILLED.
EXPLOSION IN A WELSH COAL PIT.
INHALED THE FLAMES RESCUED AFTER
WHOLE pAYS TOLL.

INHALED THE FLAMES RESCUED AFTER
WHOLE DAYS TOLL.
London. Aug ga fearful accident occurred
this morning at the Parhslip coal PIT, near
Bridgend, a mining town in Glamorganshiie, Wales'
The day shift Of 80 miners had not been long III
the mine before terrible explosion was heard Inc
ground trembled and the people in the vclhlty re-
alizing immediately that an accident had happened
rushed 70 the pic mouth. The explosion had caused
the earth and rock TO fall, and the mouth OF the
Dit was closed. Not single man of tie 100 IN
the mine had made his escape. and it is probable
that almost all have lost their lives Hundreds
Of the miners in the neghborhood volunteered their
services. and the work Of clearing the pit mouth
was started at once. All around the pit to-day
have been gathered women and children hoping TOT
the best yet expecting the worst
Though the volunteers have been working with
desperate energy since morning, il is still impos-
sible TO reach the imprisoned miners. From the
Indications. il is believed that the whole interior
Of the pit WIS set on fire by the explosion, ana
that the flames are still raging through the mine
When IL became known that the timbcrs IN the
pit were burning, women in the crowd wept bit
terly, while others, with dry eyes, wrung their
hands in the agony Of despair.
At o'clock this evening a rcscuing party as
cended TO the surface bearing with them two men
whom they had found near the bottom OF the pit
Both the mon were badly burned and unconscious
As they reached the surface the crowd pressed for
ward, anxious 10 identify the rescued miners, ana
from the women two rushed forward with cries
of joy as they recognized their husbands. Inc
men were carefully attended 10 by the PHYSICIANS
who, however, held out little hope Of their re-
covery They say the miners have evidently IN
hailed fire. and that death will surely follow
Shortly after these men were brought mp the
flames assembled and set fire to the structures at
the pit head. When the huge tongues Of fire were
seen caping up from the pit, cries OF horror and
despair arose from the throng. Many of the wo-
men tainted while the shrcks Of others were heart
rending When the flames issued from the pit all
hope abandoned. IL is nearly certain that
those who escaped death in the explosion have
been sufIocatcd or burned TO death. The disaster
is one OF the worst that has occurred IN the
mining districts for many years.
A large number of rcscuers are working III the
Parkslip pit. Many have been hoistcd mp en-
hausted. Seven miners found dead have not
yet been brought to the surface The explosion
was felt over an area Of ten milcS. IL caused
tremendous falls Of earth, which completely
blocked the galleries AS the workings extend
ZOO yards. il is hoped that some miners who
were working at a long distance from the shaft
where the explosion occurred Will bc rescued
alive

A VOICE FROM OBERA MMERGAU.
THE PEOPLE THERE NEVER THOUGHT OF con-
ING TO CHICAGO.

THE PEOPLE THERE NEVER THOUOHT OF tOM'
ING TO CHICAGO.
The fact has BY this time been often enough an
nounced to become well established that the people
OF Oberammereau do not intend and never old In
tend to bring the Passion Play to Chicago next
summer. The announcement OF plan to import the
players and the play caused a large amount OF dis
cussion few weeks ago. and much opposition to the
project WAS naturally aroused. The Tribune then
published the adverse judgments On the scheme OF
Archbishop Corrigan and several Others Of the most
prominent clergymcn Of this city. This article ana
others have brought ont the emphatic and authentic
denias which have recently been published, and show
the fact easily to be surmised by such as know the
people Of Oberammergau. that those Of them who
have heard anything about the plan indignant
that IT should be announced here possibility, and
anxious that the people OF America should undcr
stand that such project never was and never could
be for a moment entertained BY them. This point If
indicated In letter received NJ this office from Hugo
Lang, the Liverpool representative Of the large Ober
ammergau firm of George Iang's Heirs, the mem
bers OF which among the most prominent and
influential citizens of the place and closely con
nected with the management Of the Passion Play
itself. The writer Of the letter says;
You may give the most emphatic denial the statement
which you say was the people Of 0beammergau
ure coming Chicago represent the Passion
Play Nothing could be further from the intentions and
wishes OF people To IT seems almost amusing for
would believe TO our koie being brought 10
Chicago Knowing however that outsiders not in tho
same position judge and that consequently such state
mcnt would believers and naturally arouse the ndgna-
ton Of friends Obermmergau. shall thank you to con-
tradict the groundess. ana rhouid say ma

H. LANG.
II is understood that some offers were made to
Joseph Mailer and few OF the other players TO induce
them TO come TO Chicago but not one OF them thought
OF accepting such an offer. II any Passion l1ay Is

summer those who II may rest assured that II Is
not the Oberammergau play, and Is not done by the
