James McLaufjhln's Terrible Plunge
Down the Oxfoid linft Yes
terday Morning.
.Tames McLaughlin, a miner, aged
twenty-two, loll down tho Oxfoid shaft
at noon joMorday. As near ii" could
be learned from thive engaged with
the unfortunate man, the accident oc
curred about as follows:
On Saturday the compnii made r
rangeinentH to lower the contents of a
car of steam pipe Into the mines, the
pipe being let down scvcial pieces at a
time to the men In the Clink eln.
about :ttl foot below the surface Sun
day moinlng the gang- nf men started
to vvoik as usual, four men going to
the Clark vein to unfasten the pipe.
This gang was composed of Jnmos Mc
Laughlin. Andrew McAnulty, Thomas
McLaughlin anil Daniel O'Leaiy A
man ,i then stationed nt the Itoek
vein to guide the pipe through the
platform at that point, and tho follow
ing gang of tour men was stationed at
the top to fasten the pipe on tho ihalii.
P. McAndtew- .1. V. Hanett, .1. K. Mil
ler and Dotnlnok Tornoto. The woik
piogressnl taplilly until the noon hour
came, and then McLaughlin and Mc
Aiiultv. Instead of going to the shntt,
about tlfty feet away,1 theio being two
shafts at this mine, and being biought
up on the can lage, deckled to put a
.Ix'J In the chain and come to tho top
that way.
One of the men winking with them
icmonstiated against their doing such
a thing, but they would go up that
way. So McLaughlin sat on the piece
of wood and took bold of tho chain,
while McAnulty stood on the other end
ind took bold of the cable as fnr up
as he could leach. They then gave
three raps on the pipe that ruiirc up the
side of the shaft, Mils signal meaning
that the cable was unlonded and toady
to he hauled to the surface for moie
pipe. The engineer stinted the engine,
and the men started on the tilp to the
surfaio, that one should never again
see. It is supposed that tho cable
swung fiom side to side, and 'When
they i cached the Hoek vein 'they woio
unable to control It, mi as to pass
through the platfoim In safety.
McLaughlin must have loceived a
blow from the plutfnim that caused
him to loosen his hold, with the result
that be was lashed about 110 feet to
his death. McAnulty i ame to the top
In safety, but was no unnerved by tlio.
tenlblo experience he had Just gone
through that the men woio unable to
get him to let go of the (able for some
minutes. The innn at the bottom of
the shaft, who bad warned the men
against doing such n foolhauly thing,
was n sure that they would never
reach tho surface alive that he watched
a few second", with the losult that ho
saw McLaughlin coming thiougli space
and llnally stilke the bottom. As soon
as the men nt the top beard fiom Mc
Anulty about bis companion's fall they
sent belt) to the Cl.nk vein, where the
linfoitunate man was found and
brought to the surface. A doctor mii
called, viho pronounced McLaughlin
dead.
Later be was removed tn bis home,
and the coioner notified.
McLaughlin was unman led and lived

foimed the executive cominlttee of th
einploes of this decision after the lat
ter bad petitioned him to lelnstatc tho

The union met onily ycsteidny niorn
