Ing the living miners and recovering the

rapidly as possible I'm Ingram's Colliery

the rescuers have brought eighty-eight
bodies TO the surface. Two men were
brought up unconscious. but still breath
ing. Six men, who had sustained no In
iury whatever. but had been Imprisoned
behind a huge mass OF debris, were dug
ont this evening. When they appeared
al the mouth OF the pit they were greet
ed I'm a most touching manner by their
relatives and friends. No reason has
been given for the explosion. but the con-
lecture is that IL was caused by careless
ness on the part Of one OF the miners in
opening his lamp.
Eight men and one boy have been
rescued from the mine. All hope FOR
The others I'm the pit has been abandoned.
The bodies OF the victims are being
rapidly brought 10 the surface. The
scenes at the mouth Of the pit as the
bodies are brought up and recognized
by the relatives and friends OF the dead
are most distressing.
