Tragedyof The Coal Fields Oc-

wanna District.
ONLY VERY FEW MEN

Work Of Rescue Goes Gallant
" On, While Weeping Wom-
en- Stand About the Mouth
OF Inflated Mine.

Pittsburg. June 23.-An explosion In
the Lackawanna Coal and Coke COM
pany's mine, Indiana, In Lackawanna
county, occurred this morning. and It
in the neighborhood Of eighty miners.
The property loss will also amount to
thousands OF dollars. Tho cause Of the
explosion Is thought to be due to pre-
mature discharge OF dynamite, used ID
loosening the coal, and the accumul-
ated coal gas exploding.
There were 100 miners in the mine
when the explosion occurred and only
aifew had reached the surface ut noon
today. They were near the mine shaft
when the explosion occurred and from
their stories the explosion was Sc
we're one.
Form Rescue Party.
A rescue party was Immediately or
ganised and although little Roadway IL
being made by them, they have sue
ceedsd IN reaching few OF the en-
tombed miners. At least 50 OF the
miners are unaccounted for and It 10
impossible to tell whether they arc
dead or alive.
Omcials Of the mine realize the aw.
fulness Of the tragedy and have given
out I statement to tho effect that the
list Of dead will be very large.
While the men Of the nearby village
are working with almost superhuman
strength In order to reach their COM
rades before It Is too late, the women,
including wives and daughters OF the
entombed miners are gathered around
the mouth Of the mine praying for
the safety OF their loved ones. A few
Of the women tainted and are in Sc
rious condition, but the majority are
bearing up bravely in the face Of the
disaster.
It 10 believed by the rescue party
that the men are entombed and not
buried and that II the intervening
debris can be removed In time. their
lives can be saved. It 10 necessary
that the work progress much more
rapidly than It has In order to save the
men from suffocation or drowning.
The Indiana mine was one OF the
finest IN Lackawanna county. It has
never experienced such serious disas-
ter before.

Surcharge Cases Settled.

The cases upon the current calendar

the County of Jefferson was the plain
tiff and the Board of County Commits
sioners the defendants, growing out OF
surchsrges made by the board OF aud
itors at their sitting the first OF the
year, were settled yesterday. The aud
itors withdrew from their position on
surcharges amounting to $l42 30; the
surcharge of 81 90 on order overpaid N.
d. Corey, Esq, was permitted to stand,
Mr.. Corey returning this amount to the
commissioners; the surcharge Of S54.75,
supplies for County Superintendent's
office, will be disposed of through a
mandamus case brought In the argu-
ment court by the County Superintend-
ent to compel the Commissioners to
furnish stationery, ETC.: and the mat
ter of fees paid County Surveyor G1ur-
ley, amounting to $3.50, will probably
also be adjusted in the same court.
Under all the facts it looks as though
there had been heap more
smoke than fire in the controversy be-
