colllory and whon not Iobb thnn 00
romnlned In tho ronrlng holl bonoath,
itho flames swept up through tho only
pnssago way nnd drovo tho workers
back.
Between 80 nnd 100 mon nro
known to hnvo perished ns the, result
of nn explosion which shnttored tho
mlno last night nnd wns followed Im
mediately by tho flro, which brought
j death quickly to numy who survived
f-thOvshook. , lVt. .,,
All night long tho rescuers Btrug
gled nnd worked to gain nn ontrhnco
to tho tomb whoro tholr comrades
woro imprisoned. For hours It wns
hopod that many could bo brought
out nllvo, but nftor tho oponlng wns
mndo, tho full horror of tho cntaB-
tropho was rcallzod.
Tho only hopo of tho roscuors wns
to carry to tho wretched, half Ijitmno
crowd of women nnd chlldron, tho
burned bodlos of their futhor nnd
husbnnds that thoy might bo given
decont burlol. Tho dosporntlon
nmnng tho families of tho dead min
ora marks tho extreme of human suf
fering nnd nngulsh.
Whon tho Haines swopt up todny
and forced tho mon to lleo for tholr
own lives nnd glvo up tho roscuo
work, thoy turned tiQlr nttentlon to
finding somo way of lighting tho flro.
Tho most heroic measures woro tnkon.
This afternoon a party of Bovon
sturdy minors volunteered to ro
ontor tho mlno, bollevlng that thoy
could cut off tho flro or confine It to
certain sections of tho works by
throwing up walls.
Thoy had hardly disappeared whon
n second party was dispatched to ob
servo tholr progress nnd nld thorn If
possible Tho second party had not
gone far when they realized that tho
first sevon men had boon ovorcome
by the gases.
They made a dosonerato dash and
by hard work succeeded in recover
ing all seven of the first party. The
mon were dragged out unconscious
and nearly doad. One membor of
the second party was overcomo noar
tho. entrance nnd is at tho point of
death. Tho bo von mombors of tho
first party aro all In critical condition
and It Is feared most of thorn will
die.
The mine Is filled with noxious gas
which now, It Is believed, will mako
entrance Impossible long after tho
fires burn out.
The city, which has a population
of 90,000, and Is maintained mainly
by tho collieries and foundries, Is at
a standstill. Tho whole place Is hor
ror stricken and the entlro poplatlon
Is stunned by the enormity of tho
disaster.
Later another party succeeded In
getting half way down tho shaft and
there found that tho roof had caved
In blocking the entrance to tho
chambers where tho men aro en
tombed. It wjll require days to re
more tho wreckage and the vlctomn
will be dead of starvation and bad
air. If they already have not s"uc-
'cumbed.
