ENTOMBED IN FLAMING MINES fJMriitful Disaster in Two w ' syivania Col Ife'ries. jRescuing Parties Eater the Fiery Caverns and Fail to Retain. FEARED THAT FORTY-ONE HAVE PERISHED FLAMES POURINKJ FROM THE PIT MOUTH SCENES OF PITIFUL DISTRESS EXPLOSION OCCURR ED 'AFTER 'HUNDREDS OF MEN HAD LEFT THE MINES. West Newton, Pa., June 10. By an explosion of fire damp this afternoon mines No. 1 and 2 of the Pittsburg Coal company at Port Royal were set on fire and at midnight tonight were still burning. Three hundred and fifty men employed in the mines and the accident i happened just as the miners vere quit ting work. A number-wt U. not now known just how many are entombed in the mines. There Is but little hope that many of these can escape. ' .Both mines are connected tinder the Youghiogeny river. They are "slope" mines and shortly after the flames burst from one pit's mouth they were seen coming from other mines. Crowds surround both pit mouths and the scenes are extremely pitiful. The first sign of the disaster was when a rumbling was heard coming from the mouth of mine No. 1. Then a number of miners emerged on a run followed a few minutes later by smoke and flames. In about five minutes the miners in No. 2 were driven out by smoke that poured up the slope. It was evident an explosion had oc curred close to the point where the two mines connected. Little could be done to rescue the en tombed men, although the volunteers, were many. The fans were kept work ing driving the air intothe pits. Min ers built up timbers a few feet from the wall so as to form a separate tunnel through which they hoped to advance to a point where they could put out the fire. It was slow work. and the fire rages so fiercely that it is feared the rescuers cannot penetrate far. Later It is now learned that 41 men are in the mines, Only six were in when the explosion occurred and Jl volunteered- and went - in to rescue them. More explosions followed and r,At(h)nir wqc TienrfT rvf the ' 37 men. At 11 o'clock tonight four other miners volunteered to find the rescuing party. No word has been received from them. It is. feared all the 41 are lost. MRS. M' Kill LEY SHOWS GRADUAL IMPROVEMENT Washlneton. June 10.
