IN A COAL MINI.
Over Fifty Lives Endangered by
[ an Explosion Of Gas
In a Colliery in Worcestershire
England.

Looks as IL II Was Case Of CareIessness
on the Part of the Officers Charged
with the Inspection of the Mine-An In.
describable Scene Among the Bereaved
Women and Children.
LONDON, Dec. ia fearful explosion
occurred Wednesday at the Bamfurlong
colliery, near Wigan in Worcestershire
and not less than fifty lives have been
lost. The men went to their work as
usual in the morning after the colliery
had been inspected in the usual way.
They had not been there long when a
terrible explosion shook the earth for a
great distance and cloud of smoke
shot up through the shaft into the air.
A multitude of people rushed toward
the mine, and the greatest excitement
prevailed. il was soon escertained that
large number had persisted, and the
weeping and wailing of women and
children made an indescribable scene.
Steps were Immediately taken to as,
certain the full extent of the disaster,
and a crowd of volunteers promptly Of
fered to explore the pit.
1t is believed that the explosion was
caused by accumulated coal gas, which
had escaped the notice of the official
charged with the inspection of the
mine.
All Did Not Perish.
Later advices state that the loss of
life by the explosion at the Bamf urlong
colliery may be less serious than at first
reported. The situation, however, is
most critical.
A hundred men remain in the mine
with their lives endangered, being I'M
able to get out owing to the fire which
followed the explosion, and which is
raging fiercely in the mine, making il
difficult for rescuers to get at the i'm
prisoned miners.
Notwithstanding the fire and other
obstacles, the work of rescue is pro-
crossing and volunteers are not de-
tered by danger or difficulty in then
efforts to save their fellow-miners from
a terrible death.
Hundreds of women and children sur
round the mouth of the mine waiting
anxiously for news of fathers, husbands
and brothers, and numbers of women
volunteered to assist in the work of res
cue, but their assistance was not re-
quired. No effort is being spared to put
ont the fire and bring the men to the
surface. Until this is accomplished the
loss OF life will be difficult to estimate.
LATER-Twenty miners have just
been brought up by the rescuers from
the mine. The remainder are still inn
prisoned below. The rescued men were
in an exhausted condition when brought
to the top. AS each came to the surface
the women and children crowded to see
who they We're; those who recognized
their relatives, overwhelmed them with
caresses.

the G. & 0. Train.
The Chain of Evidence Against
Them Complete.

Burreil Forgcy So Badly Wounded i'm the
His Home = Thomas Collins in Jail.
Fifty Extra Police Sworn In to Guard
Against a Surprise.
HUNTINGTON, w. Va, Dec. 15.-Chief
Turner, of the police force here, aided
by his assistants, cleared up the Chesa-
peake and Ohio vestibule train robbery
and murder Wednesday morning by the
arrest of Thomas Collins, at Bradrick,
just across the river in Ohio, charged
with the murder of the German passen-
ger and being confederate of Forgey.
AT o'clock Tuesday evening the de-
tective arrested Burrell Forgey. He is
the man who said he was shot in the
right shoulder after the robbery by
providers around his house. He says
some one passed and repassed his win
dow. He went to the door and was
fired at and hit. He shut the door and
another shot was fired through it.
Forgey corresponds exactly to the de-
scription of the tall robber and has been
identified by Matheson as the man who
shot him.
Train Collector Zimmerman says that
as the tall man got off the train he fred
at him and the robber threw his left
hand to his right shoulder, which is the
location of Forgey's wound. 1t is
thought Forgey fired the shots at his
home to give plausibility to this story.
The coat found by Bellamy, the watch
man, had bullet hole in the right
shoulder.
Forgey is unable to produce any coat
and says he loaned it to his father, but
can not tell where his father lives. He
came here two months ago from Louisi-
ana, where it is said he is wanted for
murder. Forgey is under guard Of two
officers at his home.
The chain of evidence is complete,
and it is expected they will be bound
over to court special grand jury

and punishment meted out inside of
