BY EXPLOSION OF GAS
MINERS ARE KILLED.
Four Lost Their Lives in a Mine
in Pennsylvania.


in Pennsylvania.
Pittsburg, May 26.-Four men were
killed and two were badly burned by
an explosion of gas in the mines of
the CHARTERS Coal and Coke Com
pany at Federal, a mining town near
Bridgeville, on the Pittsburg, CHARTERS
and Youghiogheney Railroad to-day
The mine is but slightly injured. The
dead:
William Nelson, aged AZ years, mar
ried, mine boss, residing at Federal
James Nelson, nephew of William
Nelson, aged % years, single, road
man, lived at Federal.
Jacob Sailor, miner, 46 years, Fed
eral.
Joseph Smuck, miner, aged IS, Fed
eral.
The injured-Joseph G. OFT, Joseph
Puik.
Sixty men were at work in the mine
at the time of the explosion, but be-
cause of the fact that the accident
occurred in a portion of the mine that
had not been used for several days,
all escaped except four.
The explosion is supposed to have
been caused by gas brought about by
a blast in the tunnel where a dip
in the coal roadway was being remov-
ed. The tunnel had not been used for
several days and gas had accumulated
in such quantity that when the blast
was sent an explosion resulted. All
the men directly connected with the
work were victims.
The fire resulting from the explosion
was extinguished after two. hours of
hard work. The dead miners We're
horribly burned and when they were
brought to the surface the scene was
pathetic.
Nelson, the mine boss, lived about
a stones throw from the mouth of the
pit, and his wife and daughter were
among the first to reach the pit. When
the burned body of the husband and
father was brought out the two women
