It was occasioned by: an explosion of fire' damp.. The latest dispatohea yesterday afternoon' said tnat -i persons wereT-angnt by the explosion, and that all hope of res cuing was abandoned, owing to the fire damp,which at several times nearly overcame those who' attempt ed to rescue the imprisoned men.

The mines there were worked years ago, and once before a similar disaster occurred, but at that time only a few men were employed, ana the death rate was small. From accounts fur nished The News; it is plainly evi dent this is one of the greatest coal mining disasters on record. It is probable that all the men in the mine were killed - The explosion shook the earth and filled the mine with fire and it ianot to be conceived how any of the unfortunate miners .could escape with their " lives ' At' ttree ojclock this morning the telegraph said that of the 43 men known to be in the burning mine, not - one had been taken out The fire and the deadly gas keep the rescuing squad at a distance from the place where the miners were caught The scenes about the mine are of the most dis tressing character. All the men em ployed in the mine were natives of Chatham county, and .most of them have families living in .houses on the company's ground in the vicinity of the shaft. It is probable that the bodies of the men who were near the main shaft may be recovered: but it is more than likely that ihe bodies of the majority of the unfortunates will be burned by the fare that is raging in the mine Just how the explosion occurred is not known and may never be known, for perhaps no one has escaped to tell it The News & , Observer Friday morning says that -43 miners were killed and six injured. The names of the dead who are known are as follows: . Council Poe, W. Tyson, J. Obey, A. T. Andrews, G. Morrison, M. Bentley, H. Morrison, Dan Morri son, unaries foe, j. tiunter, Guinn, J. Shamberger, Wiiliam Smalls, Will McDonald, Lucian Holland, Charles Starke, John Schmid. All the above victims are white. The name of the negroes follow: L. Crankle, L. W hite, A. White, J. Reeves, William Jenkins,. William Baldwin, Fisher Holton, Clay Har ris, Jack Mi liree, Jesse Liambert, Gus Lambert, John Norwood, Joe Thompson In addition to the above there are twelve men missing whose names could not be learned.. The mine folks are not disposed to give np much information. Immediately after the explosion, the people of the village and rela tives of the entombed miners has tened to the scene, but for some time they were unable to gain any tidings from below After pump ing fresh air into the shafts for some time several miners were prevailed upon to venture down and investi gate. Tlvy found and brought out twenty-five men from stokes num ber 2 and 3. Five or six men were badly wound ed and some of them will probably die, others were slightly wounded. A mule and two men were killed in stoke number 2. After " considerable delay the searching party entered slojte .num-' ber 1, where they were greeted by a most horrible and ghastly sight Dead men fearfully mutilated were found Some of them were partly covered up with pieces, of 'coal, tim-; ber and other debris. . The searching party came up and reported what they had found. At four o clock ten or twelve miners l went down to bring up the dead bodies, but at last accounts none of the dead men had been rescued. It ir- believed that forty-three men were killed, lneir names are not obtainable at this writing. Several of them were negroes and foreigners and the rest natives of North Caro lina. Several had families living at Cumnock. Eight of the dead, min ers were from Pennsylvania and ex pected to return to that State to morrow to visit relatives. A quantity of dynamite was in the mine and exploded, wrecking coal cars and splitting massive, pie ces of timber into kindling wood. Mothers, wives and sisters were around the mines all day, weeping add wringing - their - hands 'with grief, expecting every minute to see the lifeless form of some loved one brought up. v " - v -' The Company operating the mine in which the disaster occurred, v this year changed its name" from ."Egypt" to "Cumnock," after a noted mine in Scotland, and a contract was made to furnish the Seaboard Air Line with 300 tons 'of coal daily. " Two weeks ago Governor Carr nd State Geologists Holmes visited" the mine and went to its lowest level, which is at abort 450 feet depth, the shaft being about fifty feet deeper. Uhe output they found to be about 150 tons. There had not uh til ; today been any special trouble witn gas m the - mine The force . of miners numbered about ; seventh-five, all save a very few of these being from the surrounding country.- These few were Penn3ylvanians, brought there by Langdon & Sphenszey, the principal owners of the mine. As this is the only coal mine in the State, interest in its work has natur ally been great --; A special to the Observer this af ternoon says that 35 , bodies - have been taken from the mine Rothaehlld Denies the Rumor. .
