UNDER TONS OF ROCK.

a Colliery Explosion In wales Imprlsoas
Over Ono Hundred Men-Fears That
| All Werc Lost.
LONDON, Aug. PA fearful mining
accident occurred yesterday at the
Park Slip coal pit near Bridge End. !.
mining town in Glamorganshire, Wales.
The day shift of miners had not been
long in the mine before a most ter
rible explosion was heard. The
day shift comprised $50 men, and
their relatives and friends rushed
to the pit mouth to learn the extent of
the disaster. The explosion had caused
the earth and rock to fall and the
mouth of the pit was closed.
| Not a single man of the $50 in tho
mine had made his escape and it is
feared that there has been great loss of
life. Hundreds of the miners in the
vicinity have volunteered their services
aud the work of clearing the pit mouth
is being pushed as rapidly as circum.
stances will permit.
All around the pit are gathered
women and children hoping for the
best yet expecting the worst. The
mine officials hold out all the hope pos
sible, but it can easily be seen that
they fail to make the mothers and
wives believe that there is much hope.
In the afternoon rcscuing party
assembled to the surface bearing with
them two men whom they had found
near the bottom of the pit. Both the
men were badly burned and uncon.
scious. The physicians have little hope
of their recovery.
Shortly after these men were brought
up the flames from the buring pit as.
cended and set fire to the structures at
the pit-hcad. When the flames issued
from the pit all hope was abandoned.
Those who escaped death in the ex.
plosion have certainly been suffocated
or burned tod cath.
The disaster is one of the worst that
has occurred in the mining district TO,
many years.

messages were proved by Geographic
communication. The necdle-like beams
