Fire Envelops Mine. Pittsburg, Pa., Nov. 28 Fire en velopes the .Marlanna mine of the Pittsburg-Buffalo Coal Company, near Zellersvllle today. An explos ion this morning at 11:25 shook, ths . entire v neighborhood .and , brought , irom me nouses in tne vicinity nun , .'d reds of people anxious to learn the ta&- of . those working beneath the fiivuuu. -i uciw cii vu auu vv junu 'were working at the time and It Is believed that the most of these per ished in the explosion. Immediately, after the explosion officials of the company started arrangements to rush a rescuing party to the mine. A special train was prepared and equipped with all the modern appli ances necessary for such work. . John H. Jones, president of the company, was at first inclined to dis believe the raport of the explosion, saying that State Mine Inspector Louttit and Mine Foreman Kennedy had just completed a two days' ex amination of the mine and found it to be in perfect condition. An instant after the report of the explosion was heard, alarm was lu ' tenslfleJ by the Issuance of smoke from the two shafts, of the mine. A minute later the entire village was alive. Those men who were , not working and women and children, as though called together by the gen eral alarm, ran from .their houses and congregated at the mine. . Then the smoke that till -then shot In dense clouds from the shafts, gave way to a deadly conflagration which drove those who came hither to places of greater safety, : At 12:30 a special train and relief , party of nearly 100 men left Mo nongahela for the burning mine. Re- , ports to that town were to the effect k that there were only 100 men In the mine at the time, of the explosion and that most of these were Engllsh- men. In spite of that,, however, the babel of anguished tongues that arose from the frenzied multitude on the outside of the mine was heartrend ing in the extreme. Almost every v quarter of the lower Europe was represented in the general cosmopol- ' Uan mix-up. Women ran about "tear ing their balr and bewailing the' loss of those they loved and knew and the little children who may bo provijr orphans, , clung to their mothers' dresses in' their bewilderment and griei. . . , i ' -., , The first ft the relief party arrived at the burntnjf mine about 1 o'clock, but nothing could 1 be done lmme dlately.

Until that part of the work is fully accomplished nothing In the way of rescuing can be done.
