Tower City, Pa, Aug. 4.-Nineteen
miners were killed and several seri.
ously hurt in double explosion that
wrecked the deepest shaft of the
East Brookside colliery of the Phila.
delphia and Reading mines here. That
more were not killed is due to the fact
that the mine had been shut down for
the week end and most of the miners
had left the pit
The first explosion occurred when a
quantity of dynamite with which a
new vein was to be opened by a gang
Of experts was set off prematurely by
a broken drill. This brought down Il
heavy fall of coal and rock on the
men working the drill.
In a moment there was a second de-
donation, the explosion of mine gas
caused by the dynamite The second
explosion tore out the timbers of the
tunnel. The noise was heard for sew
erai miles and brought to the shafts
mouth hundreds of miners, their
wives and children. While the men
frantically went at the work of res
cue special policemen from nearby
collieries aided by state police drove
the crowds of onlookers from the
mouth of the mine.
