The accident occurred 870 feet down
at the foot of the shaft. About the
place where the men were working
was a projection of rock. They were
. leaning a mass of coal to square up
the Clark vein entranee.
The gang in charge of Bolwill went
to work at 11 o'clock and were warned
byOliver Turner, foreman of the retiring
shift, to be cautious. They commenced
their work without removing the rock,
aud set ufl Olasts as needed in remov
ing the coal. The blasts weakened the
hold of the shelving rock, which fell,
crushing the three men to death. Hoi

into the Clark vein Berrying his lighted

lowed, in which Holwoll WSJ enveloped

almost instantaneous.

The members of the gang who
escaped the fall came back and tried
to beat ont the flames, but a gathering
of after-d imp necessitated n retreat
They were then hoisted to the surface.

lowed the explosion. At K) o'clock the
holies of Ilolwell and Hughes were
found and brought up to the fourteen
foot vein aud two hours later to tho
surface.
Tne work of rescuing the bodies of
the men was prosecuted with much
vigor by a party of about a dozen men
and at 10 30 o'clock last night they
reached the remains of Albert Rich
ards. Their work was groatlv impeded
by the rapidly rising waters in the
mine, as the pumps were deranged
when the fall of rock occurred, and
and were unable to properly p .'riorm
their work.
At midnight the body of James Nor
they was found by the rescuers.
FELIX MORRIS A ( THE ACADEMV.
. Versatll" Actor Gives One ef the Best
Entertainments of the Year.
Felix Morns at the Academy of
Music last evening gave one of the DCS)
entertainments of tho year to one of
the smalb'St audiences of the year.
Nevertheless everyone present was
dunned with the vrsitilu genius of
Mr. Morris, and delighted with the
ability of bis splendid supporting com
panv.
Mr Morris played thrae pincs, "A
Grams of Cards," "Tim Vagabond" and
"Mos's.'' In the Bret he did some an -usually
excellent work. It was a com
plete case of indivi lnsl concealment.
Not a trace of the man could be seen in
the trembling old Ciievali-r de Rocb
cfferrior. The appeal to the eye was
so complete to the eye as to he almost
bewildering, and yet, stranger still,
was the emotional identity which spoke
in every quiver of the -yelid and tiu
ger. No less remarkable was the com
plete change in the second play where
Mr Morris appeared as an old soldier.
As Mr. Moses iu the last play of the
evening, the audience was treated to
an ither Wonderful change of character.
In all three plays the Identity of th-
actor was completely blotted ont, the
souls of the characters were so entirely
assimilated as to make th 'in live and
move and have their being in a com
plete illusion

At the call of time he was unable to
