The dead man was identified as THOMAS CURRY, of Pleasant Valley, who was about 40 years of age, and leaves a wife and one child. EXPLOSION AT THE NOTTINGHAM: About 10:30 am today, a fall of rock in the Nottingham mine at Plymouth drove the accumulated gas into the gangways where the men were at work with lamps, and an explosion followed. The Leader reporter was unable to ascertain the exact number of men in the mine at the time, but up to 1 pm, eight had been taken out, one of whom, JOHN D HUMPHRIES, died on the way home, and another, JOSEPH JONES, is dying. The others injured are: JAMES DUNSON, fire boss, badly burned about the face and hands; THOMAS LAKE, whose daughter was killed in the squib factory explosion, slightly injured; JOHN P THOMAS, face and head cut by being thrown against the rib; DAVID FOX, badly burned; JOHN DENNIN, badly burned; PETER LYNN, burned and cut about the head and face. It is believed some of these will die. JOHN CROSSIN, a member of Company I, cannot be found, and it is supposed that he is covered up with the mule that he was driving. WORL ROBERTS is also missing. There are several others in the mine in numbers 5 and 6 gangways, about a mile and a half from the bottom of the shaft. Rescuers will have to climb up and down planes and slopes to reach them and it will undoubtedly be some time before they can be brought out. The explosion did comparatively little damage to the mine.
