Concise Record of the Week. EASTERN, A Union town (Pa.) dispatch says: “The worst fear touching the fate of the ir.cn who were imprisoned In tho coal mine at Youngstown, four miles from this place, toy the explosion of fire-damp which took place there at 4 o'clock last evening has been fully confirmed. Six of the miners were taken out last evening soon after the disaster, two of them were dead and two of the other four 60 seriously Injured that there is no hope of their recovery. This left from fourteen to eighteen men supposed to be still imprisoned in the mine. The exact number is not certainly known. The work of reaching these men was continued industriously throughout the whole night, and by this morning the dead lodies cf twelve of them had teen 1 rought out and dellverel to their friends and relatives at the mouth es the pit* This makes fourteen dead in all, and, together w,ith tho four injured, accounts for eighteen, or the whole number supposed to be in tho mine. Tho scenes at the mouth of the pit as the disfigured bodies of the dead were brought to the surface and given into the hands of the wives and relatives was distressing in the extreme, and vividly recalled to mind the piteous wails of the bereaved families who waited at the opening of tho Leisenringniino last February for tho bodies which they knew were coming lifeless to them froth tho uncorapassionate bowels of the earth. It was as id spectacle, indeed, and moved totears many of hundreds w ho had leen drawn to the place by the news of the disaster.” ■*" Sig.
