FEARFUL DEATH Of Many Miners in a Coal Mine Which Is Now FIEKC1 LY BURNING. Seventy five Minera Are Onlomb.d by tbe Explosion Ia tbe Minc Which Was Caused by Oas. The Wo men and Children Uurge the Men to Rescue. A dispatob from Bim field, W. VA., says there are sixteen known dead and seventy-five men entombed as a recent of an ? xplcBlon of gas, followed by Ure ? J tho West Fork mine of the Poc\ hontas Collieries company Wodncsdav night. Thursday rosouo parties ou deavored to get to the entombed men, but the her.t ls BO Intense no man ca i get hear them, and the whole mino in Ulled with gai. Women relatives aro orazed by tho knowledge tl at loved ones aro either dead or dying, spur on the reecuorK and beg tote allowed to go in tho mino themselves. Three men wero brought from the bottom of tho shaf where they were knocked down by ?bo explosion, but they ctuld give no ac ci unt as they were too far from whoro the ixp]j8loi occurred. A telegram from tho scene of tho explodion says tl o work of resouiuj bodies from ..ho Wew ?> mino hat been in prb?ross since e*rly Wednesday night. TiiO Uist res- u r.g party to g ) Into tho mine was headed by Super intendent Williams. Leckie, who tool: with btu John O diam, W. ll Talbot', and J. T Brown. This party had little sumst-, P.S thre.o rremb rs worn evt?O'?me with ga.es, Udham aili' Brown lobing theil lives, and Talboti being brought) out unconscious. I bo mine wan then hrattloed as tho rescuing parties progressed and at chis hem, 9 o'olock p. m , they haveabou, rtaobxd the plaoe of tho origin of oin explosion. Tho body of one miner has been recovered up to this hour. He IK S. B. Cook, who was wltblu 300 foot of the outside when foutd cud ho was fe only survivor of the explosion of 1884. A number of bodies have been bea ted by tbe exploring parties but can not bo brought to the surfftos on ao cuunt of the debris occasioned by the. terr.Oin explosion wnloh in some places has pilled up timbers and din to the height of s'x feet. ' Tuero were "up|.o?Gd to be some 60 or 60 poople in this section of tue mints when the explosion occurred but a greater number of them beim minors, there JS no reourd kept o'. them, henoo the troubla to Btato ex &okly thcBo Mat have been killed. Parties oumirg to work Thursday mornhn from the Tug river, on thi WeBt V.rgiula side of the mine, dir not know there had been auy tr? ubi In the milieu until they ran into some bodieB on the tracks, and some mule* dead with a man pinned between them. While the force of tho i x loslor. was terrille yet the foremen wno wert at the mines' tilico did not knowi there had lo n any trouble until tin men ano mules failed to come cut al the time f r quilling work. No re port ti the ?xploilcn was hofc.d ci tl.0 cuthide ( f the mines. Supt. W. M. Leckie of tho mim-, who entered the minc as one of the robculng party, had a narrow escape from death. Ile was overe?me hy the lun e? and hae! to be curri* d out. E . warn Jones, the inside mine foreman, le d^the first redone party and when that p&rtv failed ts return in a reas onable time a second rescue party uuder Supt. Leckie followed. Two cf L'.ckic's party, John Ol h*m and IO'. Hiown, were overcome by gas ano oled, and Leckie barely escaped with his life. Tue third par ty wac formed and oontlnued the work. Meanwhile tho llrst party had readied another entrai.ci to the mine in safety and sont word over the mountain announcing that fact. All this time the work of bratt'clng tho mine, necoessary for carrying oo tho work of rescue, was being en*.c tively carried on. Some confusion v.as caused in tho determination cf the exict number of men entcmbod by the fact that when the explosion tcourrtd the ?xchangeof shifts wiit in progress, added to whioh was thc fact that a number or the men es oapod from the Hug Fork entrance. The scenes around the mine were pitiful. Udall ves aud friends gath ered lu gre ups at tho entrances and elsewhere awaltiug tiding of tho v.c tims gave vent to their ?rief as the bodies one by one were brought out. The authorities anticipated the fearful extent of the oawmallilos by ordeih g ? carloads of oi illus and bur ial supplies. MyHtory or* Kirim ppor.
