in the mine of the Bond Coal com

yesterday cost the lives of thirteen
of the fourteen men in the workings
at the time. Only two escaped, one
of whom died shortly after being
taken out. James Barrowman, super
intendent and William Richie, mine

to be in good condition and nothing of
the kind was expected. The same
mine, however, had a similar eXplos-
