10 Men Killed Instantly Bradford Era, Pennsylvania May 10, 1889 The victims were:
Boyle leaves a wife and seven children. It was not his turn to ascent the shaft, but he had exchanged turns with another man. Pattovish leaves a widow. All of the others were single. There is great public indignation over the employment of stupid Hungarians in a position where their carelessness could be so disastrous. No calamity of a similar nature has ever before occurred in the region. There is 35 feet of water in the "sump," and the recovery of the bodies is slow work. At 7 o'clock tonight only one body had been brought up. The colliery employs 500 hands, and is known as the "Big Vein." |
