AN EXPLOSION In A MINE.
Eight Miners Were Killed, Twenty Seven
Made Their Escape and Nineteen
Were Rescued

BROWNSVILLE, Pa, sept 24-Fifty-
tour men were entombed in the Um-
pire mine of Snowden. Gould e. Co..
one-fourth mile below Brownsville, by
DIN explosion of gas at o'clock Friday
morning. Two dead bodies have so
lar been taken out The dead are
James Hall and John Bennett.
Searching parties are making fran
tic efforts to reach the entombed
miners, but their progress is slow and
there is great danger of another ex-
plosion, which might bury them also
under tons of rock and earth.
Immediately following the explosion
of gas there was a second explosion of
lire damp. There were 40 men in the
mine at the time of the explosion,
work having been begun for the day
short time previous. Of these So were
in Entries Nos and 10.
Four men, Jacobs, Davis. Whetzell.
and Walker, were near the mouth
of the entries The others were far
in. When the explosion came these
four men made a rush for the main
heading, which they succeeded in
reaching, though all were more or less
injured. They finally crawled out to
the open air. Of the 5S men in entries
and 10, these four are the only ones
who are known to be alive. They say
there is no possible chance for the es.
cape of the 81 who worked with them.
Intelligence of the disaster soon
spread and crowds gathered around
the mouth of the mine. Terrible
scenes of grief and horror were pre-.
sented Wives and children of the en-.
tombed men were frantic with grief.
and their shrieks and. walls were
frightful to hear. Notwithstanding
the great danger the rescuing parties
are working bravely, but their efforts
have so far been fruitless.
At l o'clock Friday afternoon five
more bodies were recovered and it was
feared that none of those still en-.
tombed would be taken out alive.
The names of the five found were:
Harry Hagar, John Cartwright, vii.
liam Prichard, John Haistua and S.
Hastings.
Twenty-seven of the entombed
miners returned to town, having es-
capped by traversing a mile and half
of underground passages, coming out
at an opening near Lynn Station. on
the Redstoe branch of the Pennsyl
vania railroad. This point is four
miles from the opening of the mine on
the MonOngahela river.
Another body, that of Robert Davis
has been recovered, making eight dead
John Baker and his son George, who
escaped the back way, are terribly
burned about the face, but will likely
recover. Nearly all who escaped are
injured or burned, either slightly OF
seriously. The dead are unrecogniza
bic, being burned and mutilated. A
hasty improvised morgue was ar
ranged at the entrance to the mine.
The explosion is said to have beer
caused by the loosening of a large
block of coal. which opened pocket
of gas
The entry where the explosion oc
Cured is located about a mile and &
fhalf' from the pit mouth. The mine is
an old one and pretty well worked
out. The men wore open lamps, such
as are used in all the Mongahela river
mines.
Of the number entombed all escaped
or were taken out by rescuing parties
except eight, who were killed outright
and three more or less hurt.
