EXPLOSION IN MINE.
Seven Men Killed and Ten Others In
jured in Pennsylvania.

Pottsville, Pa, July 17.-Seven
mine workers were killed, and ten
others injured by terrific explosion
Of gas in the Williamstown colliery of
the Summit Branch Mining company,
in the lower part of the anthracite
coal fields. The mine was wrecked
and caught on fire.
The explosion occurred in No.
shaft of the colliery, and is believed
to have been caused by one of the men
lifting the gauze of his safety lamp
just after an explosion of a shot which
brought down a large body of coal
The explosion shook the entire col
licry. The work of rescue was i'm.
mediately begun, and when volunteers
were called for, almost every man
at the workings offered his services,
which meant hazardous trip into
the burning mine.
Near the foot of the shaft the in
jured we're found, they having rushed
toward the entrance, only to fall over
unconscious.
All of the dead were found a short
distance from the shaft, battered and
burned into an almost unrecognizable
mass
The Williamstown colliery is operat-
ed by one of the companies controlled
