28 MEN
BURIED – TERRIBLE CAVE-IN – SCENES OF WILDEST EXCITEMENT IN ASHLEY
The
following miners and laborers are now imprisoned in Baltimore, No. 4
shaft,
at Ashley, Lehigh & Wilkes-Barre Coal Co.
Whether they will ever
again
see the light of day no one knows but their creator:
JOHN
HANSON, ANTHONY FRAIL, MICHAEL SCALLY, JOHN SCALLY, JOHN ALLEN
(assistant
mine boss), MICHAEL HENRY, CHARLES JAMES, FRANK GALLAGHER, ROBERT
ROBERTS,
HARRY JONES, ELLIS WILLIAMS, OWEN WILLIAMS, DANIEL SULLIVAN, THOMAS
WILLIAMS,
JOHN PENNING, HARRY PARRY, OWEN PARRY, THOMAS CLAUS, JOHN JAMES,
two
Hungarians name GUSS, two Hungarian laborers, and four others whose
names
could not be obtrained.
At about 9 o’clock this morning, the
residents of that part of Ashley
borough
known as Maffett’s Patch were thrown into a state of intense
excitement
by a violent shaking of the earth and a cracking and tottering of
their
homes. They rushed frantically into the
streets in alarm to ascertain
the
cause. When it had dawned upon them
that a cave-in had taken place in
No. 4
slope, and that the ground was fast settling about them, the
excitement
knew no bounds. Women who had husbands
and sons working in the
mine
ran here and there screaming and wringing their hands while helpless
little
ones clung desperately to them begging pitiously for the help they
were
seemingly unable to give.
Maffett’s Patch is located nearly a
mile from the business part of Ashley.
It is
built upon a pretty plateau and runs back to the foot of the mountain.
It is
completely honey-combed by the workings underneath, and reports to the
effect
recently the company has been robbing the pillars have been freely
circulated.
A gang of men was quickly got
together and at 11 o’clock they began
throwing
up the earth at a point a few hundred yards back of the old Preston
school
house, and within sight of the place where the miners came through
the
opening from their six day’s imprisonment at Sugar Notch eleven years
ago.
Among those whose houses were
affected by the cave-in were: E J CAMPBELL,
FRANK
POCALKO, JOSEPH MARGOT, Mrs ANTHONY MCCORMACK, JAMES TREDDINICK and
JOHN
RUTZ (whose houses were very badly wrecked).
The rear wall of CAMPBELL
’s
place may fall at any moment, while RUTZ’s residence is split through the
centre,
the opening at the base being at least 18 inches wide.
The names of those who are involved
in rescue are: VALENTINE GORHAM, THOMAS
OWENS,
JAS. TREDDINICK, EVAN JONES, DAVID EDWARDS, OWEN HUGHES, JOHN CLEARY,
JOHN X
JONES, JOHN DAVIS, HARRY PENNING, PATRICK DORAN, JAMES KEEGAN, JOSEPH
KILDAY,
JOHN MCDONOUGH, JOHN JONES, HUGH LESLIE, JAMES L CAFFREY, ANTHONY
GAUGHAN,
THOMAS GRADY, MICHAEL MCDONALD, THOMAS ROONEY, THOMAS FLYNN,
MICHAEL
CUSICK, JAMES MCDONALD, ROGER FLYNN, FRANK GALLAGHER, JACOB DECKER,
and
DAVID RICHARDS.
A gang of eight or ten work until
they are exhausted , when they are
immediately
replaced by a new crew. The uppermost
question discussed by the
men who
are watching the work of rescue – and they are principally men who
have
been employed in and around the mines all their lives – is whether the
“fall”
is of such nature as to allow sufficient air to ooze through, or of
sufficient
quantity to keep the men alive until the rescuing party reaches
them.
The cave-in is only a short distance
from the point where the six miners -
JOHN
CLARK, BERNARD RILEY, JOHN GREEN, DANIEL GREEN, DANIEL HAWKINS, and WM
PRICE, - were imprisoned in like manner during the
month of April 1879, and
who
subsisted on mule meat for six days
when they were reached by a
rescuing
party and found in good health, and little worse for the hazardous
experience. [condensed]

ASHLEY
MINE DISASTER - 28 MEN DEAD
The
gloomy day of May 16, 1890 will be recalled in years to come by the
people
of Ashley with a shudder. Early this
morning the fate of the men
buried
in No. 4 slope, Lehigh & Wilkes-Barre Coal Co., became known.
Twenty-eight
men who entered the mine strong and healthful yesterday are now
among
the dead. It was not given them to die
peacefully, surrounded by
ministering
friends and with the comforting words of the clergyman sounding
in
their ears. They were penned in the
bowels of the earth and were
smothered
or burned to death by deadly gas. There
are new vacancies now at
firesides
and the familiar form will no more enter the door of home after
the day
is over. The rescuers came upon the
bodies of most of the victims
at 8
o'clock this morning after many hours work, three having been taken out
last
night. Slowly the remains were lifted
and tenderly born out. The dead
removed
are: JOHN ALLAN, assistant mine boss,
SIMON PURVY, THOMAS E DAVIS,
OWEN
PARRY, THOMAS WILLIAMS, OWEN WILLIAMS, CHARLES JAMES, ELLIS D WILLIAMS,
HENRY J
PARRY, OLIVER PARRY, JOHN HANSON, HENRY JONES, DANIEL SULLIVAN,
JOSHUA
WILLIAMS, RICHARD JONES, JOHN E DAVIS, ______
GUSS, two unnamed
workers. These bodies are not yet recovered: MICHAEL
HENRY, ROBERT
PRITCHARD,
THOS D CLAUSS, MICHAEL SCALLY, JOHN SCALLY, STEPHEN EDWARDS, JOHN
EDWARDS,
RICHARD L JONES, and a worker named GUSS.
About six o'clock last
evening
one man, ANTHONY FRANE, was found alive.
FRANE's hands were
considerably
blistered and his face burned, but not nearly as bad as was
first
expected. He suffered considerably from
injuries sustained by the
force
of the explosion. Also found alive was
ROBERT ROBERTS, who was so far
recovered
that late last night he gave Dr James an account of his experience
while
in the mine after the cave-in and the explosion. Later were found the
bodies
of THOMAS E DAVIS, who is a married man living on Hartford street,
with
nine children, three of whom are married; OWEN PARRY, age 20, son of
HARRY
PARRY; THOMAS WILLIAMS, aged 40, married one child; OWEN WILLIAMS,
married
with four children; CHARLES JAMES, married and six children; ELLIS D
WILLIAMS,
tracklayer, married seven children; HENRY J PARRY, married, five
children;
OLIVER PARRY, son of HENRY PARRY; JOHN HANSON, single; HENRY
JONES,
married and three children; DANIEL SULLIVAN, married and six
children;
JOSHUA WILLIAMS, married and family; JOHN E DAVIS, married and
family. There were others unidentified whose bodies
were taken to the
schoolhouse
morgue. It had been reported that JOHN
X JONES was among those
imprisoned
ones. This fortunately proved
erroneous, and the old veteran was
among
those who assisted in getting to the victims.
THOMAS CONROY, MICHAEL
COONEY,
and MICHAEL WARD would have doubtless been among the victims, had
they
not remained away from the works to attend mass, it being Ascension
Day.

DEATHS:
W S
STACKHOUSE, a brakeman on the Lehigh Valley railroad died at 9:30 this
morning
in City Hospital. Early this morning
his train parted near
Fairview. He in some way fell under the wheels, and
his right foot was cut
off. When he was brought to the hospital
amputation was performed, but the
patient
was so weak from loss of blood that he could not survive the
operation.
The
shock to Mr and Mrs B W OPDYKE of the death of Mrs OPDYKE’s mother, Mrs
PURSEL,
had come only last week, and now their promising little son of
little
more than four summers is dead from diphtheria, after an illness of
two
weeks. A brief funeral service was held
this afternoon at the residence
of the
family, 189 Academy Street, and then the remains were taken to
Berwick
for interment.
Ex-county
Treasurer TURNBACH died early this morning at his home in Freeland
after a
long sickness. He was 50 years old.

NJ March 26, 1827 and was 63 years of
age. He was a son of Captain
Jedediah
Paine. Under his father’s command he
became familiar with the life
and
duties of a seaman – was trained to it from his infancy. At the age of
fifteen
years he was an officer on his father’s vessel and visited many
ports
in the world. In 1846 Mr Paine came to
Wilkes-Barre on a visit.
While
here he became employed by the late Col H B Hillman at the latter’s
mines
in Nanticoke. In 1847 he married MARY
CAMPBELL LEE, a daughter of
JAMES S
LEE, and a niece of Col WASHINGTON LEE.
They then removed to Perth
Amboy. Mr PAINE then returned to the sea. In 1853 he returned to Nanticoke
and
entered the mercantile business with his brothers-in-law WASHINGTON LEE,
Jr, and
ANDREW LEE. In the same year his wife
died and their son, WILLIAM L
PAINE
survived. In 1857 he gave up the
mercantile business and came to
Wilkes-Barre,
entering the grocery business. In this
year he married for
the
second time, ANNIE E LEE, of Chester County, who survives him, as do
their
daughters, Mr Dr WORDEN and Miss PRISCILLA PAINE. At the time of his
death,
he was a vestryman of St Stephens. The
deceased was a descendant of
THOMAS
PAINE, who participated actively in the formation of one of the
earliest
companies of pilgrims to Massachusetts’s Bay in 1621. The family
is
traced back to the eleventh century.

ASHLEY MINE DISASTER CONTINUED:
Five
more corpses were recovered at Ashley: MICHAEL SCALLY, ROBERT

was that of HENRY JONES, though the relatives of THOMAS CLAUSS
claimed
the remains. The body however was taken
to the home of JONES, but
they
have since been exchanged.
