BLOWN UP At GIIBERToN.

Pottsyiile. Pa.-Shortly after noon an ex-
plosion of gas took place in the workings OF
the Philadelphia and Reading Coal Ccm-
pany's colliery at Gilberton, by which one
man was killed. one fatally injured, and nine
others more or less seriously burned.
Allof the men were burned badly about
the head, limbs, and body, and after the
rescuing party reached them they were cov'
cred with crude oil used on car axle'. This
oil to some extent allayed the pain.
There were two distinct explosions. The
frat was heard by men at the head OF the
slope, and Inside Foreman Leahy, who was
at the top, Immediately descended, and was
caught by the second explosion.
The news Of the accident spread like wild
fire through the Mahanoy Valley, and in
short time the vicinity of the mine slope was
crowded with people, mostly women and
children Nearly all Of them had fathers,
husbands. and brothers in the mine and
their cries and distress unnerved the strong
miners who were preparing to descend to
rescue those who might be alive. 1t was
feared that all had perished, but many came
up unhurt, or stayed down and help look for
their more unfortunate comrades. Owing 10
the deadly afterdamp that always follows an
explosion of this kind and the way the gang
way and inside passages were wrecked, the
work of hunting for the bodies proceeded
slowly. and was attended with great risk oil
life. The explosions took place in the third
lift of the East Buck Mountain gangway, be-
tween breasts Nos. 38 and 40, where some
Of the victims had been at work robbing
pillars.
Glberton mine is not considered gaseous
mine. and only one accident OF this kind is
renorted there from explosions in 1892, but 1t
supposed that small body OF gas was dis
lodged and exploded by blast, and the
falling coal from the pillar exposed a larger
body. that was fired by the explosion OF the
first No account of the accident could be
learned from the men who we're at work al
the point because those who are alive are SC
badIv burned around tho head and mouth
that they could not talk. Gilberton coliierl
has capacity of 175,OOO tons annually, anC
employs 674 men and boys.

FIERY FURNACE.
Three Terrible Mine Disasters in
One Day.
81 DEAD NEAR SEATTLE.
All Escape Cut Off, They wore
Burned and Suffocated.- Many
More May Have PerlSheo'-
Heartrendlng Scenes atthe
Mouth Of the Nine.

A terrible catastrophe occurred in the Ore
gon Improvement Company's coal mines at
Franklin. thirty-four miles from Seattle,
Wash. at 1 o'clock in the afternoon.
Already thirty-seven dead bodies have been
recovered from tue mine, and it is known
that many Others are imprisoned IN the hery
furnace The number is as yet only matter
of conjecture, and it is probable that none
will escape.
The first news Of the tragedy was received
in Seattle by Manager Smith, OF the mine
coupanv. in the shape OF a telegram from
the mine superintendent at Franklin. Ihis
message stated that the mine was afire, and
that many miners. both white and black, were
imprisoned.
Later second telegram was received,
reading substantially as follows: Thirty
seven dead bodies have been taken out and
It is supposed that there are more to be re-
covered"
Manager Smith, upon the receipt OF the
first telegram. sent out a special train, bear
ing Superintendent [ ORGY and crew TO as
sist in subduing the flames If possible, and
ordering them to take care of the company
property aud rescue the imprisoned men.
The officials are rcticent and refuse to give
ont anv information whatever, beyond the
fact that the mine caught fire and that thirty
seven dead bodies have already been removed.
The fire, it IS said caught in breast No. to
in the sixth level but Of the cause nothing
has been learned The last report was to the
effect that heroic efforts wero being made to
recover others known 10 be in the mine.
A late telegram from the scene states that
the thirty-seven men killed probably died
from being suffocaied by the smoke, as the
bodies do not show burns Of a fatal nature.
What proportion OF the dead men are white
and what proportion black cannot at present
be learned, but the officers say they are
equally divided.
Another dispatch from the railroad operator
at Franklin says the wives, children, and
comrades of the dead men arc crowding
around the mouth OF the mine, frantic with
grief. Their lamentations are heartrending,
moving the strongest to tears.
