HOBMBLE MDX ACCIDENT. Fifty-Seven Men Imprisoned in a Colorado Mino by an Explosion of Fire Damp— No Fossil lillty of Escape from Death—» Full'Cist of the Victims. GUNNISON, Cor., Jan. *4. A fearful explosion occurred at eight o’clock thinmorning in the Colorado Coal and Iron Company’s mine at Created Buttes. It was one of the most appalling that ever occurred in a coal mine in this Country. Oested Buttes, near which the mine is located, is a coal mining town thirty miles north of Gunnison City, on the Denver and Bio. Grande Railroad. The canse of the explosion is not definitely known, hnt it is supposed to be from firedamp. The explosion occurred either in chamber one or two, just half an hour after the day force of sixty-seven men had gone to work. • There wore ten men at work in chamber four. These escaped unhurt except one man, John Angus, who was in the passageway just outside the chamber. He is badly burned but will recover. Fifty-seven men were at work in chambors one and two. These are thought to have perished. The explosion was of such torce as to completely barricade the main entrance, and the appliances for supplying air located! near were, badly wrecked, and the roof oi! the tramway blown off. Tne men at work on the anthracite mesa are Urn night force of the C. C. & L company’s mines. Citizens were generally working hard all day to -rescue the men, although it is thoug ht none can possibly escape alive. The Town Hall has been prepared for the reception of the dead. As soon as posssiblethe fan was repaired, put to work pumping air into the mine, and men set to work to remove the obstructions so as to reach the chambers and get the bodies out to-night if possible. Following are the names of fifty-five of the unfortunates; this other two are not obtainable:

Many of these ai-e married men and leave families, many living here. At this hour every thi ag is in sue a confusion that it is impossible to give details. A special train leit Gunnison at two o’clock this afternoon w}th surgeons and a largo number of citizens to render all the aid possible. The town of Crested Buttes is in mourning, and crowdsof »4men cluster about theentrance to the mins prayi ng and wringing their hands and crying piteously, presenting a scene most heartrending. It is said at . the time of the explosion there wore ten kegs of Black powder in chambeis one and two. where the men were working, and where the explosion is supposed to have taken place. The mine has three miles of drifting and so it is impossible tn ds flaitetor-rJaiw** rescuin'; parties oaii gain admtttanr At eleven o’clock to-night no bodies had been recovered. Denver, Coe., Jan. 24. Crested Buttes mine, where the great disaster of this morning occurred, has long been considered dangerous by those acquainted with it. While one of the best producing mines in the country, its operation has always been attended with inor« or less apprehension and real danger. “It is a fire damp mine,” said Superintendent Cameron, now in Denver, “and seems M constantly generate the most deadly gases. They seem to generate in the coal-or under it, and pour out of the seams in the walls of the tunnels and shafts; yet the mines are the most perfectly ventilated in the world. . Air is forced in along the shaft by machinery. No less than 58,000 cubic feet of fresh air is forced into the mine every minute. This is quite sufficient to fully supply the wants of the miners and keep the air perfectly pure unless some accident happens to cut off or interfere with the supply. This is a greater amount of fresh air than is furnished to any otter mine in ’Ihe country. We send a mine reviewer through every chamber every morning before any of. the men are alio wet *#aVnIlllt hnvft returned tfiiiTihoi ning before the workmen in, and everything must have been all right when he passed through the workings.” John ncNeil, State Mine Inspector, left for the scene of the disaster this evening. He mys he has no doubt that every man in theniins at the'time of the explosion was instantly killed. He said he visited this mine fie weeks aero and then found it in good condition. He considered it a dangerous mine unless properly worked, because there was more or less gas constantly exuding from the mine. He said he found every appliance for ventilating the workings and considered that the managers nndsrstoad bow to run the mine, and were fully aware of the danger attending if the mine was not; properly ventilated.

The Wrecked Steamship. Falmouth", Mass., Jan. 24. Divers visited tie wreck of the City of Columbus to-day. They report all the works c f the vessel gone, not a singlestateroom remaining on deck. Even heavy iron rods us< id as stays between houses on the port and starboard sides were bent and torn from their places, while the deck itself w a broken and open. Heavy timbers lay in various shapes beneath the broken surface of the deck, preventing divers from going into the hold No bodies were seen by the divers. No attempt was made to find bodies in the steerage, the only descent of the civers being in the after part of the vessel. To-night a terrible gale is blowing across 1;he sound, and vast quantities of wreckage are coming ashore at Falmouth. It is expected that bodies will come ashore to-night. Seafaring men say bodies now in the water or in the wreck, if not recovered in a dry or two, will be completely devoured by sand-eels. Soundings establish the fac: that the can-buoy was set at least a quarter of a mile toward the inshore and the ledge of Devil’s Bridge extended 450 yards outside of where the can-buoy was Originally set, but this fact does not relieve the officers of the City of Columbus, as the boat lies near half a mile inshore, from the can-budy. ’ ’ ■--— W fc - Burglars Foiled. Cleveland, Jan. 24. Last night Wat. Rolf, merchant at Col lingwood, was aroused by a loud explosion,, in Em iitore. Hastily dressing be ran ta^g. certain the cause, whereupon five burglars assailed him with pistols, firing several shots. Being a man of nerve and unbounded, Ro lf allowed fight and the burglars left, fearing the arrival of assistance, but in retreating fired more shots, in all ten or fifteen shots. While Rolf,' still unharmed, was examining what had been stolen, the burglars returned, and appeared about to make another atta ck, but the appearance of some neighbors frightened them away. They ltad tried to blow open the safe containing a tempting sum of money. Four weeks ago Herfnan Koerstein, residing hare, was arrested for embesrlement in Bromberg, Prussia. An officer bearing extradition papers from the German G overnment arrived in Chicago this morning. This aiternoon a Deputy Sheriff want to Koerstein’s cell for the purpose of bringing him out for transfer. As the prisoner was about to leave the cell he drank what appeared to be a glhss of water.
