EIGHT ARE DEAD.
Explosion of Gas in "a Pennsylvania Col
liery.

PoTTsvlLLE, Pa, July pa frightfu
explosion occurred on the York Farm
colliery about IL o'clock to-day, by
which eight men are known to have
been killed outright, and it is believed
that three more have also suffered the
same fate.
The explosion, it is believed, was
caused by strong feeder being broken
in two and penetrating a safety lamp
and igniting the gas. The explosion
was terrific and completely closed the
gangWay with several cars which were
on the track. Several men are known
to be closed IN, but how many or what
the extent Of their injuries, was i'm.
possible to ascertain. York Farm col
liery is owned and operated by the
Lehigh Valley Coal Company and the
Philadelphia & Reading Railroad Com
pany, lessees. Four years ago the
Lehigh Company purchased these work
ings, which at that time and for forty
years previous, had been abandoned
and were filled with water. Several
thousand dollars have already been ex-
pended by this company in cleaning the
abandoned gangWays Of water, retim-
boring and driving tunnels to intercept
the different veins, and great success
has rewarded their efforts.
Loaded mine wagons are wedged
across in the gangways and rocks, and
timbers and debris are so piled up on
them that the rescuers have hard work
making their way to the front. Work
men in distant parts of the mines say
the noise and force of the explosion was
something terrible. Men 500 yards
away were thrown to the ground. AS
soon as entrance could be made to the
mine, numberless volunteers offered
their services. The first brought to the
surface were the injured. Preparation
had previously been made. and tie
requisite materials were on hand for the
speedy relief ofthe burned men. Ply
sicians at once took them in charge and
all that medical skill can accomplish
was done for him. The body of Thomas
Jones, of Minersville, was recovered in
the tunnel and brought to the surface
at $50, and it is expected that his COM
panions, Harrison and Hartsell, are near
by and will be reached in few hours.
Henry Madata, one of the injured, died
this evening.

the financial distress increased others
in the coke business were compelled to
sell, and Mr.. Frick was at hand to buy,
and ovens which he could not buy he
leased. Meantime his enterprise was
called rashness, and there were predic-
tons that the tide would overwhelm
him next, but he kept heart and struck
out the more vigorously, In answer to
these predictions, when the revival Of
business occurred, he pointed to the
annual profit of the leased ovens as
greater than the value of the ovens
themselves.
He carried on the business in his own
name until 1878, when he sold share
III 1T to K. NJ. Ferguson. of New York,
when 1t was known as that of II. C..
Frick & Co. In 1882 the Carnepies
bought large share in il and the name
was changed to III. G. Frick Coke Co.
1t was then the largest coke company
IN the world, controlling $4,000 acres of
coal land and more than 1000 ovens,
giving employment to more than 5000
hands. While enlarging the output
every means was used to make it til e
best in the world. To obtain pure wa
ter, works were erected costing $780,
900. AS a result the coke was de-
handed for steadily increasing variety
of uses and its reputation firmly fixed.
1t is said no other man ever saw so
far into the future ofthe great Connells-
vile industry as did he, and certain it
is that no man ever ventured upon it
with more confidence, pursued it with
more energy, or reaped from it a greater
reward. A few years later be bought
an interest in the firm of Carnegie,
Phipps & Co., and when w. L. Abbot
retired three months ago he succeeded
him as chairman. On July l all the
Carnegie interests were consolidated
with capital stock of 25,000,0OO, and
Mr.. Prick was given absolute control OF
the gigantic concern. His wealth is
variously estimated at from S., 0GO, 900 to
SIS GOO 600
