Fire at a Coal Mine—Two Hundred Men and Boys Thought to be Suffocated by the Closing of toe Shaft. illy Telegraph to the PittabargitGazette.J Sonerprop, Pe., September 6—Great excitement here. In consequence of the burning of a beaker at. Avondale mine, Plymouth, about twenty miles south of this city. There are two hundred men and boys in the mine, and the shaft, the only means of escape, is choked by forty feet of burning coal and rubnish. Ven tilation is totally stopped_and there are great fear that some , if not all, will be suffocated. brokYwoura, Pa., Setember 6.—Fire' e out this morning p in the flue and bottom at Steuben shaft, owned by the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Company in thieplace, and in a short time the whole beaker and ont•building were in flatnes, and the hoisting appara tus, the only avenue of escape for the miners; destroyed. All efforts to stay I,the flames were unavailing and • the whole struCture - fell. fi lling up the shaft. Over two hundred men are in the shaft and have no communication out, with net chance for air, as the only way for getting air Into the shaft was - through the main °peplum, and that was filled 1 with the burning timbers and debris of the flames. It is feared the whole num ber have been suffocated by smoke or ' perished for want of air. The fire departments of Scranton, Wilkesbarre and Kingston are playing streams down the shaft for the purpose of quenching the, fire, so that the rub bish can be cleared out . and the condi tion of the men ascertained. It will probably take till to-morrow morning before tidings can be received from them. The scene , is heartrending. Families are congregated in great numbers. Miners from all parts of the country are there at work, and merchants, and, in fact the whole population of the town, have turned out toassiat, The loss by fire will amount to about $lOO,OOO, partly covered by insurance. All the physicians of the vicinity have been summoned to attend when the con dition of the men la. ascertained. The affair has cast a gloom upon the whole community and in:wines* is almost en tirely suspended. The minemonly resumed work to-day after a suspension of about three months. Among the men in the mines is Mr. Hughes, the Superintendent. FURTHER PARTICULARS. SCRANTON, Pa., September 6, /0 P. re. —The latest information from the Avon dale mine states , that the shaft was cleared and two men went down and penetrated sixty or seventy yards to a gangway door, which they could not force open. They found three dead mules outside the door, and sulphurous fumes were pouring out through the 'door. No signs of life were_discoyered, and it is feared all are dead. LATER AND STILL WORSE. PLYMOUTH. Pa., August B.—lo P. M.— After the rubbish from the bottom of the shaft was cleared away two miners de scended in a bucket and sent word up to send down a pick and shovel to clear the doors with. The bucket was hronght up and two menu started down with the tools. -As they started the men at the bottom requested them to hurry, and on thelr reaching, the bottom both were found dead. No hopes are entertained for the men in the shaft—all are sup posed to have perished. The black damp is very bad here. The fire began at ten o'clock this morn ing. All experts are agreed that it must have communicated from the ventilating furnace to the wood work at .the bottom of the shaft, which is three hundred and twenty-seven feet below the surface. The flames then rushed with great violence up the shaft and broke out in the engine . room at the top. The engineer barely escaped with his life. The buildings covering the mouth of the shaft were one hundred feet high and two hundred feet long, all of wood and dry as tinder. They were almost instantly enveloped in flames, and it was impossible to reach the mouth of the shaft to help the men below. Dispatches just received from Avon dale say Thomas W, Williams, of Ply mouth, and David Jones, of Grand Tun nel, who went down to make further in vestigations, were suffocated to death. On a second attempt Williams' aead body was brought out by David A. Davis and Benjamin Jones. Thomas Wit hams went down and dragged .David Jones some distance to the foot of the shaft, when he was compelled to come up. John and Isaac Thomas then went down and 'brought up the body. All who attempted to go down are now out alive except Williams and Jones. No further attempts will" be made to go down until a small engine is rigged. The loss by the burning of the Avon dale mines' works is fiBo,ooo to $lOO,OOO, not counting the loss by the stoppage of mining. This mine had been involved in a strike for over three months, but re sumed work last Thursday and was pro• ducingltrur hundred' and fifty tons of coal ;or day. The works were built in 1887, and it will take from four to six 'months to rebuild.' It will take until five A. H. to-morrow to get a small engine to work to drive a fan at the mouth'of the• shaft :and force air in through a canvass hone. All who have been Own say it is very hot, and loud calls have failed to elicit any answer. The only hope for the two hundred and two men in the mine is that they may have shut themselves in a remote part of the working, entirely away from the draft. _ Several hundred men wilt' tools were taken from here this evening with the idea of "driving gangway from a neigh = boring mine into the Avondale srorkligs, but as It must be solid rook cutting this. means would probably not relieve the imprisoned men in time. The distance to be out is variously estimated at from twenty to sixty feet, and the time re quired two or three days. It has been feared woode ventilating furnace at Avondalesome day lire the shafrots It *as a very dry mine. The danger tolife le very' reat in a mine' which has but one means, of •entrance and exit. It is thought Avondale is but one of many mines in the same condi tion. It is to be hoped the next Legisla ture will not, so so many previous ones have done, refuse to pass a stringent law for the protection of Miners and inspeo tion of mines. - x-President Johnson still lingers in baving been there some ten days scheming for election to the "U.
