(United Press Telegraph-Cable Service.)
Pittsburg, Dec. 4J0. ? An explosion occurred yesterday
about noon in the I)arr coal mine, near Connellsville, with
i
frightful results. Four hundred miners are entombed andl
it does not appear how any could have escaped death. The
cause of the catastrophe, unless it be the old, old cause of
firedamp, is not as yet determined. Relief trains were at
once dispatched from this city and every measure of relief
brought iuto play, but all have been of little avail so far in
effecting rescue or recovering the bodies. The effect of the
explosion was to wreck the shaft and seal up approaches to
the working sections of the mine. The scenes about the
mine are most distressing. Men are working day and night
taking out the debris and trying to get to the men behind it.
