There was an exciting hunt on Eighth ave-

LONDON. July 4.-Great excitement has been
caused In Tho mill. Yorkshire, by an exrlo-
sion to-day in Ingram's colllery. One hum
dred and forty-flvc miners are cntombed. anil
1t is feared that the loss Of life will be heavy.
ResculnG parties are hard at work. and four
bodies have been recovered and brought to
the surface. The pit is badly blocked with
fallen rock. dirt and timbers. and the progress
OF the rescuing parties is therefore slow.
1t is feared that the men who ESCAPED death
in the explosion OF nre damp will be sufrocated
by the choke damp unless speedily rescued.
Tho scenes usual Mt the pit mouth In the
case Of mining accidents are being repeated in
Thornhill, and considerable trouble Is expert
enced in keeping those having relatives or
friends In the mine from interfering with the
work Of tho rcscuers.
The day SHIFT went to work rs usual early
this morning The ventilation was reported
to DO good. All won't well until noon. when
the workers Mt tho pits mouth were startled
by q mufIled explosion and by clouds OF dense
smoke rolling up the main shaft. They tried
to communicate with the working. but found
that tho interior had been cut OF from the
shaft
Tho pit managers organized an exploring
party and descended slowly through tho
smoke They were driven back repeatedly.
and eventually gave up their purpose OF pene-
trating to the working before tho foul gas
should be cleared away. After taking up the
bodies found at the bottom OF the shaft the
rescue party waited for several hours before
making another descent.
About the middle Of tho evening they went
down again. The gas had cleared of near tho
shaft and they were able to examine part Of
the working. The bodies Of the miners lay in
heaps Many were sent to the surface. Unre-
hitting efforts nro being mado to reach the few
miners who may still be alive About ITO arc
supposed to have been killed.
Between IL and IL o'clock so much gas az
cumuated in the mine that 1t was necessary
to stop the work Of rescue. The dead body OF
tho under manager. badly burned. was found
In the mine near the shaft
The cause OF the explosion has not been as
certaincd. There is no indication that the ex-
posion was exceptionally violent. but tho
flames spread through the main airways with
extraordinary rapidity. and produced a.
enormous amount Of alterdamo. With view
OF shifting he fire, some Of the passages wero
blocked with wood and sand. The old unuse !
seam in which the fire appeared.w will be flooded.
There wero terrible scenes o. grief at tho
pits mouth when the manager announced
that more than 100 miners were lost. One
woman fell dead when she learned that her
husband had been killed. The Lord Mayor
