An awful calamity took place near Plymouth 
on the 6th inst. The Avondale Mine Works, 
owned by the Delaware, Lackawanna and West¬ 
ern Railroad Company, caught nre and wore in¬ 
stantly enveloped in flames. It is supposed the 
fire originated from the bottom of the shaft, 
which is over three hundred feet below the sur¬ 
face. The buildings at the mouth of the shaft 
burned so rapidly that it was impossible to reach 
it, so that, all communication with those in the 
mine was cut off. Over two hundred men were 
down the shaft, and all hope of their rescue was 
given up, as the only way of getting air into the 
mine was through the main opening, and that 
was speedily filled with burning timbers and 
debris. Tho Fire Departments of several adjoin¬ 
ing towns were soon on the ground, but the fire 
was not extinguished until all the buildings were 
destroyed. Several hours were then consumed 
in clearing out the shaft, and in the meanwhile 
thousands of people gathered around and the 
scene was most heartrending. Toward night a 
dog and lamp were sent down in a basket, to test, 
the air. and were brought back—the dog alive 
and the lamp burning. Immediate preparations 
were made to descend the shaft, and a man went 
down in a bucket., returned, and reported no 
difficulty in breathing, but obstructions half¬ 
way down that be could not pass. Two men re¬ 
moved these, and penetrated some distance into 
the pit, finding three dead mules, but no sign of 
life. Two men who went down a lit.Melatcr were 
suffocated by sulphurous gases, and were drawn 
out dead. The loss by the fire is nearly $100,000, 
not counting the stoppage of the works. The 
mine had been lying idle because of the strike, 
for three months, and work had been resumed 
only a few days previous. 
When the appalling truth with regard to the 
fate of tho unfortunate miners imprisoned In 
the Avondale mine became known, the worst 
fears of the community were realized. On the 
morning of the 8th, after frequent unsuccessful 
at tempts to penetrate t he passages of the mine, 
water was introduced, and the fire in the venti¬ 
lating furnace extinguished. Evidence of the 
presence of tho miners, in Hie form of dinner- 
pails, were discovered at an early hour, and 
soon afterwards the bodiesof two miners, much 
swollen and with blood ex tiding from the mouth, 
wore found. Those were brought to the surface, 
and a fresh party of explorers descended the 
shaft. They encountered a barrier, which hud 
evidently been erected by the minors in the 
hope of shutting off the poisonous gases and 
smoke from the lower levels. Behind this wore 
found, piled upon each other, the bodies of a 
large number of the poor wretches. Further 
on, another barrier was built by the minors, and 
on the outer ride was found Hie body of one of 
them, who had evidently been engaged on the 
outside of the obstruction, an aperture large 
enough to permit a man Iojiass through still re¬ 
maining open in the barrier. Behind this was a 
similar pile of dead bodies, in every attitude. 
The work of removing Hie bodies then began, 
but progressed slowly, owing to the imperfect 
hoisting apparatus. One hundred and eight 
bodies have since been recovered from the Avon¬ 
dale mine, mid onllioOth a party ol - forty ex¬ 
perienced men searched every nook and corner 
of the mine without finding any more bodies. 
The discrepancy in the number believed pi be 
in the mine ard tbc number found cannot bo ac¬ 
counted for. The funeral of a portion of them
