Special 20 EVENING HERALD.
MAHANoY PLANE, July 27th.-Au eX-
plosion Of gas occurred at West Bear Ridge
colliery this morning, at about II o'clock,
which resulted in the death of men.
The full extent of the explosion is not
known. The colliery is not working to-day
and it is a difficult matter to secure the full
particulars attending the accident, or the
number of lives actually lost. The fact that
the colliery is not working is looked upon as
a good thing, because there would have been
many more killed.
West Bear Ridge colliery is operated by the
P. q X. G. x 1. Co. and is located at this
place, over which Supt. John Velth has CON
troll. 1t employees about 1855 men and boys.
The news Of the explosion spread quickly
and a large crowd gathered at the colliery in
a short space of time. Mine Inspector Will
lam Stein was Immediately notified and he
arrived this afternoon. Two men were
killed instantly Their names are
WILLIAM QUINN, fire boss, living at Con-
nors Patch.
MICHAEL BRAZIL, miner, of Preston Hill.
Quinn is a married man and leaves a wife
and seven children, while BRAZIL isl single
man.
The cause of the explosion is given as
follows BRAZIL and his companion were pre-
pairing to fire a shot, when Fire Boss Quinn
came up the breast and performed that work
for them. The shot ignited the gas, causing
their death. Brzill's companion, previous to
the firing of the shot, went down the breast
which accounts for his not being injured.
