Pittsburgh. Pa. Jan. 25.-An ex-
plosion occurred in the shaft of the
Hardwick Coal Company near Ches-
wick, Pa. today. and from $50 to
$50 miners are said 70 be entombed
There were about two hundred
men employed in the mine. 80 of
them working on the inside and the
remainder on the tiDDle The men
on the tipple were badly burned by
the explosion. With a loud report
and an upheaval like an earthquake
the woodwork of the tiDple was de-
stroyed The walls OF the snaft are
filled with debris of rocks and earth
completely shutting off all means of
escape from the mine The mine is
about mile from Cheswick and tel
ephone messages brought gangs of
men from that place and Springdale
to assist in the work of rescue.
II is thought that the force of the
exp osiOn was so great that every
man in the limited space under the
ground must have been killed bv
the concussion. and it is likely that
the interior of the mine is badly
wrecked and caved.

Brockway is not only a remarka-
BILE man. but he has given the Sc
cret service detectives of the gov.
ernment more sleepless nights thar
all other counterfeit money manu-
facturers in the country. The Sc
cret of his so-called success has
been his ability to make genuine
bank notes and bonds seem counter
felt when compared with his marvel
GUS work. 1t is said that when Uni
ted States treasury notes and Brock
ways counterfeits were handed to
an expert for examination he threw
out the genuine notes as counter
feits and pronounced Brockway's
money genuine. This was why the
man was considered so great a men
ace TO the finances of the govern
ment. When arrested and tried in
court he managed his case with con-
summate skill. and counsel for the
government called it great luck"
when he was convicted at all.
Brockway was born in Connection.
in 1922 and his first work was in
the studio of Prof Morse, then a Dor
trait painter, and later the discoverer
ed something of art His career as a
torger and counterfeiter began in
1850, it is said He was arrested by
he government in 1880 for the for
gerry of s2O4 900 United States per
cent 1000 bonds. For this he was
sentenced to thirty years in prison |
,ut upon surrendering all his cOun-
tools and giving valuable |
concerning similar swim !
lies sentence was suspended
He was arrested again in 1883 for |
orging Morris and Essex railroad |
,onds and sentenced to five years
n state prison The suspended sen
ence was for some reason not en-
orced against him.
Brockway lived for many years un
Ter the name of Spencer in Brook
yn, with his wife. son and daughter
lie passed as a sea captain, and his
bsences from home were accounted
or as voyages" The family were

hurch services. He was supposed
D be an eminently respectable mem
,er of society until he had trouble

yas arrested for crossing the Wall
treet dead line" and his real char
cter was disclosed
The details of the arrest at Ho-
oxen of Brockway and his alleged
complies have been widely pub
