2 THE DISASTER AT BRASENELL MINE At Least Twenty-Seven Men Are Dead. LIKE THE CRACK OF DOOM # Til HILLING STORY OF ONE from THE DEAD. THE ATMOSPHERE ALL ONE VIVID BLAZE Twelve Dead Bodies Recovered. Many Believed to be Linder the Debris. AStry of Criminal Carelessness With Naked Lights, Fittslmrg, Dec*. 24. —A special t<* The Post from Brownsville pays: 'Hie horror of the Brasenell mine grows in intensity with every Jmur. The imniher of dead is now estimated at forty, and may pass that figure. At the same time, there" is a strong presumption that the laws regarding mining were carelessly and 'probably criminally disre garded. first bodies of the victims were brought out of the mine, and nev er in the history of mine disasters were human beings so horribly mangled. It was nearly 11 o'clock before the first of the bodies was taken out. forty-eight hours after the explosion. At bI three were brought to the surface and ar »i:3O three more came up in the cage of the main shaft. At least twelve other bodies are in sight, but cannot he reached on account of the debris. The estimates of the number of dead are conflicting. A. 11. Brasenell, presi dent of the Stoekdale Coal Company, this afternoon said he believed that but twenty or twenty-live men had been killed. Men who were working around the mine yesterday morning give differ ent figures. They say thirty-five to forty men were down the main shaft in the cages, while about twenty climbed down the steps in the elevator shaft. From fifty-live to sixty men were in lho mine, and out of this number but twelve have been recovered alive. All the rest, what ever the number, are dead. John. or. as he is popularly known. “Jonah," Meese. is one of the thirteen men who escaped from the mine alive. He is fearfully burned and is lying at his home with his head swathed in band ages. He told his story today: “IL was i.n the stable,’’ Meese said, “currying my mule when the explosion occurred. My brother Sam was by my side, boy Albert was standing in front W him. Then came the crack of the explosion. Never in my life have 1 beard such a terrific report. I thought mv head had been blown off. In about two seconds the mine was filled with dazzling light, as the line coal dust in the air was consumed. My brother Sam dropped to the ground as if shot through the heart. He must have been killed instantly. His boy Albert swayed and fell over upon his father. I began to back out of the stable: that is why mv face is so terribly burned. I was afraid to. turn my back upon the mules, for fear they would stampede and run me down. I did not know then that they hod all been killed by the explosion, for our lamps were blown out and we were in total darkness. “After I got out of the stable I heard Albert crying for help. I went back and found him and Henry Atwood, a driver. I proceeded, half leading and half carrying them, to lie* font of the main shaft. They were Imih delirious, and I believe I was, too. Both of thfcn persisted in standing up. and began to walk around. I immediately forced them to lie down, to get them out of the path of the fatal after-damp, which hovered about four feet above the ground. Then 1 felt myself going t<* sleep, but II did not care, although 1 realized that it was sleep of death. I laid down upon something which I could feel, although I could not see. was si corpse, and fell asleep as calmly as ever I did in my life. When I awoke (somebody was forcing me to swallow brandy and coffee, and I was trying to explain that it would he needless for tin to drive a wager:, as there had been an accident in the mine. "The force of the explosion was ter rific; my face and scalp is literally filled ■with coal dust blown into it just as if it had been shot out of a gun held within «t few inches.” Another evidence of the force of the explosion was discovered today. On tin hillside, 50 feet back from the main cilia ft, was* discovered an arm and a ■foot. They were portions of a victim killed 108 feet below the ■surface and hhAvu out of the shaft like a bullet from n rifle. From statements obtained today it seems clear that the presence of gas in ■quantities in the mine was perfectly wel known and that naked lights were used •For several days before the explosion According to credible authority, not ; single safety lamp was u-'d in f'he mim by the working crews since Tuesda’ morning, four days before the explosion Mine Inspector James 'Black, who ha* lxven'in tin* mine almost constantly si nix last night, came out tonight and gave r graphic account of its condition. In .speetor Black said: “At. the bottom of tin* two shafts tin ut.me is a complete wreck. Only enough debris has been removed to allow of tin bodies being brought out. There are more bodies in the mine, but how many cannot lie determined. There are un doubtedly a number of corpses under tin 'wreckage. The lower parts of the mim tire flooded, and the water is rising as the pumps are disabled. The pumps wifl mot run for a day or two. as the six inch pipes draining the mine have Iteen twined and broken like reeds. I pene trated to the face of the mine today and Kitw two Inwlios there, but the after-damp -was thick and I had to return quickly. Nothing further will be done to remove the debris until the water has been pumped out. None of tin* men can ih>s- Ktlily Ik* alive. It will require Severn’ days to clear the mini*. The Itottom of it is wrecked, but the roof and sides are intact. There is no fire in the mine.” Rough but. reverent hands carried the bodies of the victims, when they reached the top of the shaft, to the tenqsorary morgue on the hillside, a hundred sett away. Os otne mum, Peter Orozoy, but a por tion of the trunk and the back of the skull remained, ami that was virtually hut a. cinder. He was identified by a shred of his shirt that had been blown into his flesh. Os tin* 12 de:id then* was but one that was not a hideous spec tacle. Among tin* men at tin* Brazenell mime there were tunny who had been at other explosions, 'but never had they such mangled, burned and distorted bodies. Dr. X. 11. Taylor, coroner of Fayette county, arrived early in the morning from Fniontown. He empanelled a jury who viewed the bodies as they were brought to the surface. The inquest will In* held at Union-town as soon as all of the bodies are recovered. A pathetic story is told of little Albert Meese, who died after being rescued. He lived only a few steps from the shaft. He went to his window Saturday mio n iug and looked out. saying to Ibis father: "Papa. I guess there is no use of me go ing to work this morning, as there is mo loading.” The father said he had better go and help him feed the mules. They lioth started out together ami never returned to their home alive. •Christmas day was a sad cue to many a family about Brasenell. In fact; the excitement caused by the terrible acci dent drove all thought of holiday festivi ties from the homes of those who live in the neighborhood, even those who- had no friends killed. The revised list of the recovered dead, number fifteen, ami there are twelve men missing tnnd almost absolutely cer tain of being in the ruins. FOUR MORE BODIES FOUND. The Order to Dispense With Safety lamps. Brownsville Pa.. Dec. 2b.--Search for bodies of tin* dead in the Brasenell Mime still goes on. Four more bodies have been recovered but not identified. The mine officials admit that two or more bodies are still in tin* mine, but representatives of the Slavonic Society have made a house to house canvass and report that eight of their number alone are in the wreck and how many others they do not know. That naked lights and unlocked safety lamps were used in a dangerous mine was officially confirmed today by Pit Boss Thomas Jones, who made «-ti state ment. which forms tin* most sensational chapter of the management of the mine which has yet developed. Mr. Jones was asked if it was true that on last Tuesday morning he issued a general order that the miners could dispense with safety lamps. “Yes. sir,” was the reply. "Why did you issue the order?” "I considered that the mine was safe, as the ‘break through’ had been fixed up.” "Safety lamps were used before Tues day?" "Yes." "Is it true that some safety lamps in use in the mine were not locked:" "Yes. it is true that some were not locked because 1 thought tile men who used them were competent to carry them unlocked.” “Was that not contrary to the regula tions V” “Oli. there may he a regulation, but men sometimes carry unlocked lamps where it is known that they are experi enced miners.” Mine Superintendent Boyer, when in formed of the statement made by Pit Boss Jones, said: "I know nothing of the order issued on Tuesday, but consider Jones a capable man, who knows his business, and I sup pose he used his judgment.” A. S. Brasenell, manager of the mine, said: “I know nothing of such an order. I have no part in. the direct management of the mine, as our pit officials are the responsible parties.. The company has no statement to make.” RELIEF WORK IN PORTO RICO. Until February Demand For Aid Will Increase.
