MANY MINERS KILLED FRIGHTFUL DI8ASTEP, IN THE PENN SYLVANIA COALFIELDS. The Men Had Undertaken to Fix Vp Mine That Had Threatened te Cnve tn. While ghns F.ngaged the Crash Came, Bnrylng Them All Alive PrrrsTog. Pa., June Sfl. The rnimt dis astrous mining accident which has occur red In the stnto of Pennsylvania since the Avondnle horror In 18H0, when 800 miners' lives were lost, oast this town Into pro found sorrow. At least 79 men are In the lowest division of the Twin Hhnft mine of the Newton ('on! company n mine which has given employment to miners for 80 years. 1 he natun of the accident seems to pre clude any possibility thnt any of the un fortunates are still alive. They have been burled under thousands of tons of rock Hourly 1,21X1 feet below the surfnoe. Hun dreds of men are at work endeavoring to get within reach of their former comrades, but It will lie severnl days before their task onn be completed. About 40 nf the Imprisoned men were Kngllsh speaking miners, the nthen for eigners. The names of the formor are M. J. Iangan, Inside superintendent; J. H.

Aside from these tbero may be other English spenklng miners among the nn fort una tin. Thirty Polandera nnd Huns wore entombed, and It Is thought thnt the total number of bodies In the mine will reach loo. How the Aeoldent Happened. The men wnro nt work propping up the roof when the fall occurred. Tho alarm was Immediately given by the ringing of the lire bells, nnd roncuers were put to work without dcluy. The first bodies were found In the slope some dlntnnoo from the piano where the men had been working. Mora than two-thirds of tho victims wero married men nnd leave families. Among them were Aotlng Mayor Lnngnn, who wns Insldo superintendent of the mine, and J. H. Lynott, a wnrd oouncll man. About two weeks ago the surveyors re ported to General Superintendent IjBW that tha mlno was "squeezing," and that unless steps were Immediately taken tn timber It a cnve In or fall might be looked for. Superintendent Law lost nn time, but at once put a number of tlmbcirinen nt work to brace the falling roof, Tho "squeeze" continued, and the sltuntlon became nlnrmlng. A slight full ooeurred, and the men who were at work had to re treat before It. A oonsullntlnn of mine of ficials wns then held, and It wns decided that hnrolo measures would hnve to be resorted to to prevent heavy damage to the mine. Inside Superintendent Lnngan gave In Btruotlona thnt the most experienced minora should be secured, and thnt the par ty would go down the mine and make the repairs. Expert tlmbermen put In an np pearanoe and wore soon lowered Into the workings. They made their wny to the red ash vein, 1,800 feet down the slope. The work of propping prococded rapidly until anothor full occurred. It made a low, rum bling noise, and tho Dying ooal and debris drove tho men book. Pell With Tremendous Crash. Then the "squeeze" ceased again, and the men thought it was safe to resume work. They labored for severnl hours, when, so It Is presumed, the roof fell In without warning, making a tremendous crash. It la supposed, however, that the men were not all together, but some near the slope, and these probably ran np tbe incline when the full occurred. Tbe alarm was first given by Water Car rier John nherldnn, who, with William Kelchard and Thomas QUI, were the only onoa to escape of the whole party who en tered the mine Inst night. He waa on hi! way up tha slope to gut some fresh water for the men, and when about 100 feet from the foot of the ahaft waa knooked down by the ooncusslon. He was badly out and burned by Hying ooal and rook. He Iny onoonaolnus for ten minutes and then oouie up the shaft. The ooncusslon wns so great that It waa heard for miles around. The foundations of nearly every building In Plttston were shaken, and windows and doors rattled aa In a tornado. In the houses nearest to the mine penons were thrown from their beds. Just n Ray of Hope. . James Lnngan, a son of the entombed inperlntendent, oreated a sensation by da- ohiring that be suoceedod in orawllng over tho nrst two falls In the slope and reach ing within 000 feet of where the men were supposed to have been at work. He Insists that there was a vacant apot be yond, and he bullovoi the entombed men are In then. Ha also snyi that the venti lation Is good. If this story Is true, It upsets all previous theorloa. Home doubt la entertained re--gardlng It, however. Langan la greatly exolted over bis father's death, and the mine oftlolala believe ble narrative la only the wish to reoover the body that fntheri tha thought. Hii undertaking waa a baznrdoua one, but tbe boy was desperate. and aa ha knowa every lnob of ground In the mine ha oould go where other! would not think of going. Mine Inspector Mc Donald refused to express any opinion on Young Langan'i alleged exploration, but It li tbe general Impression that he did not reach aa far as be olalmi. May Yet Bo Allvo. WiLKEeUAHiiB, Pa., July 1. Then an 611 men, living or dead, reported Imprison ed In the depth! of the doomed Twin mine. This Is the official number, and there Is no reason to think It is Inoorreot. The company bai completed oarof al can vass of all the men who wero at work on Saturday night, and tha aum total of ths men lost In the disaster, English apeaktng and foreigners, aggregate this figure The relatives of live other Hungarians declare that these men, too, are among tbe vic tims, but this li disputed by the time keeper, who says the Hungarian! drew their pay laat week and went to Pitts burg to work in the soft coal mines. They simply deserted tbelr families, but their wive! will not believe It. Tbe situation Is now mora enoouraging than It baa been at any time since tbe cave In. Tbe rescuers reported that they bave reached tba edge of the fallen rook and begun to load it In cars, which an hoisted to tbe bead of the slope by a sta tionary engine. Tbe point when the men are supposed to be Is still 000 feet beyond, Tbe go is not ao bad aa it has been, and then la no sign of the river water Sowing Into in uiiue. One of tbe miners said they had come across two cars containing number nf tools of various kinds which had been used by the miners. Irfite lant night soma of the rescuing party reported having heard what they thought ware rnppinga in tnnt part of the mine where the victims are supposed to be Imprisoned. This Immediately revived tbe hope that tha men might be alive, al though the oftlolala place little reliance In this story. Five fellows, headed by Peter Lolir, volunteered to erawl over tha wall! and sua what oould be done. Tbey were told that they made tha Journey at tbelr own risk nnd replied thnt they wen satis fied. They are Petir Lnhr, Dnva Cnnnell, Jnmes Mahnn, James O'Brien nnd James Lynott, nil single men. The mass meeting of oitlsensheld In the Ftttston Opera House for tha purpose of taking steps to provide relief for the fam ilies of the victims was largely attended. Committees were appointed to snllolt sub scriptions and provide for the Immediate relief of those In want. M'KINLEY NOTIFIED. The Republican Presidential Candidate Receives Official Infnrmntlon. Cahtom, O., Jnne 80. The function of notifying tha candidate for tha presidency of his nomination had In It a touch nt old time polities before the days of the tele graph. The event had all the Impresslvt- ncen that oan he given to a eeremony so Simple. The Cantnnlnna filled the major'! lawn with neighborly hospitality. Their prenence wn! one of tha many tributes which they are paying their distinguished oltlson. After so mnny evidences of enthu siasm one wonders whether then will be anything left to be vcntid In celebrating the Fourth of July. But they have already shown their recuperative powers, nnd the time spent In mnklng th notification par te ken of tha spirit of local pride, and pa triotism la not likely to lessen their ener gies. The notification addrena was made by Senator John M. Thurston, who was per manent chairman of the oonventlon which plnced Major McKlnley In nomination for president. In reply to Senator Thurston Major McKlnley nlllrmed his unequivocal approval of ths platform adopted at the St. Ijouls convention and dwelt particularly upon the benefits of the protective tariff, which he regards as a vitally Important Issue In the campaign. Upon the financial lsnue be said : "The American people hold the financial honor of our government aa snored aa our flag and onn be relied upon to guard It with tha same sleepless vlgllanoe. They hold Its preservation above party fealty and have often demonstrated thnt party ties avail nothing when the spotless credit of our country Is threatened. The money of tho United States, and every kind or form of It, whether or paper, sliver or gold, must be as good as the bent In the world. It must not only be ourront nt Its full fact value at home, but It must be counted at par In any and every oominerolnl center of the globe. The sagacious and fnrseelng policy of the great men who founded our government, the tench lugs and acta of the wisest financiers nt every stage in our his tory, the standfast fnlth and splendid achievement of the great party to which we belong nnd tbe genius and Integrity of our people hnve alwnya demanded this and will ever maintain it.
