A link In tlie cranU shaft, of tlie fan became bent, nnd the engineer endeavored t straighten Stout. Fer that purpose he slackened the speed of thocngiiieutid went te work. He consumed twenty minutes In tlie attempt te repair tlie machinery! ""'I during all this time, when the fun should hae been kept running nt full speed in elder te keep up llie full quota of air in llie mine, the gas was rapidly nc cuiiuilntiug. Had the engineer notified the Hiipcrliitendentaud get tlie men out of the iiiine and then stepped his ciiglne and niade the repair all would have been well, but he was thoughtless, and a gicat horror followed. The men In the mineat last began te leel alnrmed nt the presenee ot'the ileadly gas, and made preparations te reach the opening. 'J'he llre besswus sent te notify them, but It was tee Inte in many eases. The gas filled every chamber, mid the men were tee far away from the openings, sonie of them nt a distancoef half n mile. Thnse who worked neatest the slope made their exit in geed time, but ethers were net se feituuate. The scenes as described are heartrending in the extreme. "When the llre boss walked through llie niine crying: "Men, run for your lives, the gas is coining," the miners and lalwjrers threw down their tools ami mnde a wild dash for tlie openings. Father would grasp seu and son his lather, and with arms interlocked they slat ted forllfeor death, every ene realilug his dangoreiiH po sition. Tlie gas was lllilng every quarter, and every step they made only added te tlie danger. In the main passage, which led 10 the feet of tlie sloe, the gas was very strong, nnd before many of the men eeulil reach the IhiIIeiii of the slope en the second opening they were overcome by the gas and pinstrated. Seme became exhausted early and fell te tlie ground, only te be trampled upon by their lellow-werktnen who followed in their footsteps. AOOXIZIMI NCKNKS.
