UNFORTUNATE EVENTS.

An explosion of gas in the Darr
mine Of the Pittsburg Coal company
at Jacobs Greek, Pa, entombed be-
tween 100 and $50 miners and there
is scarcely a ray of hope that a single
one will be taken from the mine alive.
Partially wrecked buildings in the
vicinity Of the mine and the condition
of the few bodies found early in the
rescue work indicate an explosion Of
such terrific force that it seems i'm
possible that any one could have sur
vived it.
An explosion, probably of dust, &C.
cured in No. 1 mine of the Yolande
Coal and Coke company at Yolande,
Ala. OF the eighty OF more men at
work at the time of the disaster about
twenty escaped alive. Negroes were
the greatest sufferers from the disas-
ter, as less than a third of the victims
are white.
One man persisted and more than
$50 others narrowly escaped drowning
in the No. 4 slope of the Lehigh Val
ley and Wilkesbarre Coal company
1T Audenreid, Pa, through the unex-
pected tapping of a large body of wa
ter in the abandoned No. 1 slope adj
