which occurred in the Henry collery

Coal Company this morning. Some
miners mad placed in the first car
Of the trip. which was goi g to the
top of the plan, ten kegs oil black
powder and one box of giant pow

by loaded trip going down. The
loaded trip;started and had gone but
n little distance down the plane
when the band on the drum which
controlled it and prevented the rope
going too fast slipped. and the
heavily loaded cars started down
the plane at full speed.
This brought the empty trip to
the top at corresponding speed,
and the cars crashed into the drum
with great force. The concuss'on
set of the giant powder, and the
flash of its explosion ignited the ten
kegs Of black powder. There were
two explosions.
The trip OF cars was blown to

nearby, waiting to 60 to work, were
knocked down by the great con.
