Another Mine Disaster.


London, August 26--News has just
been received of a terrible disaster
in "a coal mine at tie little town Of
Aberkenfg Giamorganshire, Wales
Soon after the days shift of men
had gone to work VIOLENT explosion
took place that sent black smoke
rolling up above the surface of the
ground and gave notice to the inhab-
itans nf the place that another had
been added to the long list of. COLI
iiery horrors.
1t was but moment before the pit
mouth was surrounded by the Poop
lie of the village, who were in state
of intense excitement and anxiety.
Nothing copld be done at the time
however as the mine was full of gas,
but rescue force was at once or
gained to explore the miEe at the
earliest possible moment OF the
men employed in the NINE 141 are
unaccounted for, and are believed to
be dead. Even if they escoped tie
explosion they must have been quick
ly smothered by the deadly choke
damp which filled the mine.
Later All night long volunteer
parties have kept up wol1 at Park
Slip lit, the scene of the disastrous
explosion in Wales yesterday. At
six o'clock this morning they had
penetrated geo yards into the main
drift In all this distance not sign
OF life was discovered. Here and
there was the body Of a l4iaer, but
the attitude Invariably showed that
death had come suddenly Some of
the men had died i'll the very act
Of using their picks. Ten bodies were
recovered of men who did not have
seconds warning of their fate The
bodies of two men were discovered,
however, who had apparently made
frantic attempt TO escape.
A late dispatch says that while a
band of rescuers were working in
the pit sound was heard which
caused the men suddenly to suspend
Soon repetition of the sound was
heard, low and weak, but indicating
there was life beyond the great wall
of rock aud debris.
At half paat 1 o'clock this after
noon the drift was finally penetrated
and thirty nine imprisoned miners
rescued The scene when they
reached the surface was indescrib-
able. Wives, sweethearts, sisters,
brothers and in some cases fathers
and mothers were in waiting, frantic
to see if their loved ones were among
the saved. The work of clearing the
galleries is still being pus he'd in hope
of saving others.
Long Lost Treasure.
New York, August 27-The storm
yesterday interfered with the work !,
IF searching for the treasure which
went down with the British ship
Hussar 112 years ago. Captain
Symonds managed to do some work,
however, and the Little Giant dredge
brought up quantity of fiints. Gilt ;
ering among them were two bits of
fellow metal which, or being cleaned
lp, proved to be watch key and an ;
id fashioned seal. The articles are
old and the seal contains stone
which Captain symonds thinks is
opaz. Neither stone nor seal bore
my initials or engraving
