A Frightful Accident In the Richmond Shaft In Scranton—The liIiners Had Been \Varned of Their Danger. The Names of the Victims. ' SCBANTON, Pa, March 7.——Four men out of a gang of mine shaft sinkers were killed in the Richmond shaft in the northern part of the city this morning at 5 O’clock. The accident was caused by the fall of a shelf of rock from the side of the shaft near the bottom and a consequent explo- sion of a blOWer of gas. The victims are: Thomas Holwill, charge man, married, wife and child, burned to death; Richard Hughes, single, 27 years; James N orthen, single. 29 years; Albert Richards, single, 24 years. ' Hughes, N orthen and Richards were crushed to death by the rock. The two latter had but recently come here from the copper mines of Michigan and were experi- enced in shaft u‘ork. Five others of the shift made their es- cape, though some sufl’ered slight bruises in their scramble for safety. These were quickly hoisted to the surface, but the bodies of the others had not been recov- ered, owing to the accumulation of a body of after damp, into which it was dangeri ous for them to enter. The men Were at work at the bottom of the shaft, almost 400 feet from the surface. They had but recently opened up the Clark vein and were clearing away the coal at the foot of the shaft. Above them hung a bell-like piece of rock, which projected slightly from the side of the shaft. \Varned of Their Danger. This shelved downward and had been somewhat loosened by blasts set off bya previous shift under charge of Foreman Oliver Turner. then the latter went all duty at 11 o’clock last night, he warned the new shift of the danger. For some as yet unexplained reason they failed to properly protect themselves and continued the work of removing the coal. Suddenly the rock gave way. Three were caught and crushed to instant death. ' Chargeman Holwill rushed away as the fall came with five others of the men. He went farther into the opening than his fel- low workmen.. He still carried his naked lamp on his head. Instantly there was a sheet of flame that enveloped him ‘ in a blaze, and with a cry of horror he sank down helpless and all afire. The others tried to put out the flames at their own peril, but before they succeeded he was dead. The _ after damp quickly gathered, and it was only by prompt ac- tion that these survivors succeeded in reaching the foot of the shaft, and signal- ing the engineer were hoisted to the. sub face. Mine Inspector Roderick, Superintendent Grier and Mine Foreman Hailstone quick- ly set about to bring out the dead bodies, but it was necessary to clear the shaft of the gas before this could be done. Mean- while forces Of men were got ready to go down and bring out the bodies when this was accomplished. A Society \Voman Arrested.
