ghty Iiyes Lost.

l. ghty Lives Lost.
JENNA, Jan. pa terrible accident
occurred in the Forischritt mine at Dux
to-day, IN which eighty miners were
killed and scores terribly injured. The
accident was caused by an explosion as
the shifts were changing. \ cage full OF
miners had been lowered half WAY down
the SHAFT when the ground trembled, a
loud rumbnng report Was heard ana
the cable attached to the cage gave such
lurch that the lowering ma
chlnery broke. \ rush Of air and
dust from the pits mouth, sound
OF crashing timbers and the
cries Of the men in the cage gave warn
ing 10 the men above of the extent of
the disaster. help was summoned, the
machinery was repaired after a delay OF
hall an hour, and the cage was raised.
Ten of the occupants had been killed
instantly by the shock, ten suffered
fractures from which they cannot re-
cover; five who had broken limbs and
internal injuries will live. They had
been half sutOcated by the gas risingin
the shaft and SAID that no man could
live below.
An hour later the superintendent of
the mine and five miners from the night
shift went down in the cage. They
We're unable to 90 more than 100 wards
from the shaft into the gallery, but they
found fourteen dead bodies. OF the
nifty men who were waiting for the cage
ten bad been killed and forty had been
partially crushed by falling timbers or
half FuitOcated by the foul air. i short
distance from the shaft the superin-
tendon found tour bodies which
had been crushed beyond recognition
by falling beam. The bodies and the
injured were taken TO the top, where
the whole mining settlement had gath
cred 70 watch the work of rescue. The
men who had been brought up from the
bottom said that few minutes after
the explosion they had heard cries
and groans from the mouth of the
gallery about 300 yards from the
shalt. There was heavy timber work
at this place, and thew believed that the
men IN THE gallery had been impris-
Oned by the falling beams. Thev be
lieve that forty men rad been at work
there. Shortly before the cage came
down they said the cries ceased. An
other rescue party went down at once,
and after three of them had been
carried back TO the shaft uncon-
sciOus, penetrated to the entrance
OF the gallery. The entrance was
completely blocked by the wrecked
woodwork. The rescue party could see
several dead bodies on the other side Of
the tinnhors- It Is boHcvod that all tho
men in TIE gallery were suHocated or
killed 10y the shock of the explosion.
Twelve miners who worked IN the ex-
treme interior of the mine on the night

Justice Lamar had been in poor health

attend to his duties as justice of the

been expected by no one, and is great
shock 10 his friends. Justice Lamar had
not reached the legal time for retiring
from the supreme bench with pay, and
was too poor to resign. Had he lived

have been introduced in Congress, and
doubtless passed to let him retire on a
pension.
