FATAL FIRE DAMP.
The York Farm (Penn.) Colliery
Shaken BY a Terrible Explosion.

Shaken Dy q IerriOle E4plOSiOn.
There was terrible explosion Of gas at
the York Farm PENN colliery in No. 1
breast of the West Salem gangway, few
mornings ago, killing sixteen men and badly
injuring five others.
Not one of the men working in tae vicinity
survived to tell the tale Of the disaster, ex-
,epting Llewellyn, the man who first noticed
the presence of gas and the unusual running
If coal, and who, by strictly complying
With colliery rules, had gone TO inform the
Dire boss OF these unusual undertakings.
The first intimation that those working on
The surface had OF the explosion in the mine
was dull rumbling and shaking Of the
earth. followed By a cloud OF dust which
forced itself out of the fan house located on
the hillside nearest Yorkville. The outside
workmen collected about the mouth Of the
slope aud anxiously awaited the nsws from
the inside.
containing most Of Uhs msu who had es-
capsd serious injury was hoisted to the sur.
face.
Boss Locke soon organized rescuing forces
and the search for those who had been in.
jurad was begun. In iftesn minutes the car
was again hoisted to the surface. containing
all the injured men who could be found at
that time. The others were reported buried
beneath heap Of debris and it was not then
known how soon their bodies could be re.
moved.
The colliery near the mouth Of the slope
was soon crowded with people. Mothers,
wives and brothers with fearful faces bur
riad there, inquiring for tidings of the
disaster and the fate of relatives. Some
were nearly frantic with grief aud would
have run down the slope had not the watch
men held them back.
The first of the bodies were brought to the
surface about one o'clock. They were those
of William Weyman, Thomas Jones' George
Greiss, Hermann Werner and Anthony Put
lavish. They were wrapped from head to
foot in heavy tar cloth and the name OF
each man was written across his shroud IN
chalk. The bodies were carried to the oil
house and laid upon the benches 1t was
not until the bodies of the five dead miners
had been recovered that there could be any
thing learned as to the cause OF the explosion.
The West Salem gangway, in which the
men were working, is new one and had
been driven about sixty yards when the e1-
plosion came. Almost every man made q
rush for the foot of the slope. 1t was all
over in moment. Those who had not the
presence of mind to throw themselves on the
ground were caught in the burning gas as it
rushed onward, receiving injuries more or
less severe.
When the rescuing force reached the gang
way after the explosion they found men
stretched ifeless upon the floor Of the gang
way and others writhing in fearful agony.
Most OF the timbering had been torn loose.
letting down the loose rock and dirt in sew
eral places almost blocking the gangway.
