MINE ACCIDENT: RICHARD PARRY was injured seriously by a fall of rock in the Hillman Vein colliery yesterday. It was his first day’s work in the mines. PLYMOUTH MINE ACCIDENT: Mine disasters seem to be contagious. The accident, which occurred in No. 12 Plymouth Coal Co.’s colliery, and which was reported in the Leader, hurt two men so badly that they are not likely to recover. One of them, JAMES LEONARD, aged 28 years, married, with a wife and one child, had his right arm fractured, one eye blown out, and his left leg broken in three or four places. THOMAS OWENS, aged 32 years, married with a wife and several children, had both legs broken. They were tamping a rock hole when the blast exploded. SOUTH WILKES-BARRE MINE DISASTER: The condition of things at the South Wilkes-Barre colliery remains about the same as yesterday, with the exception that efforts to flood No. 3 shaft are progressing and meeting with success. An accurate sounding was made at 11 o ’clock this morning and 57 ½ feet of water was found. It will be necessary to add 369 feet to this before the level is reached of the working in which the blazing tunnel is located. This will take several days. MINER’S PLIGHT IN PLYMOUTH: There is no use in longer disguising the fact that many families in this locality are hard up. Even when the collieries made three-quarter time they had as much as they could do to keep body and soul together. Now, however, when the collieries are working only a few days in every month, with no prospect of doing better, people are becoming discouraged as hunger and want stare them in the face. Indeed, many who are supposed to be in easy circumstances, are in actual need. BRIEFS: >From Plymouth, MICHAEL O’DONNELL and family moved yesterday from Mount Pleasant, near Hazleton, to Welsh Hill.
