The mouth of the pit is surrounded by
crowd of men, women and children,
nearly all of whom have relatives in the
mine. Their grief is pitiable, and their
prayers and cries are agonizing as they
beseech the rescuing party to increase
their efforts to save their loved ones.
OF the eighty-fve men who reached
safety by means of the old tunnel. over
half of them received injuries more or
less severe, and many of them are so
badly injured by shock and bruises that
it is feared they will not recover.

caused by firing a shot when the mine
was partially filled with gas.
An Estimate of the Dead.

one hundred, ana perhaps more are al
ready dead. Owing to the great excite
nent at the scene Of the disaster and
the distance from any telegraph Office.

News Hard to Get.

News of the disaster is coming in
very slowly. 1t is learned that at the
time of the explosion nearly $50 men
were in the shaft. Most of them had
stopped work for the day and were
waiting their turn to ride out in the
cage. They had congregated near the
bottom of the shaft, and that locality is
completely jammed with dead bodies.
