The story of the Avondale disaster is made a litue less Bideous than Was &t first supposea, by the discovery that instead of two hundred and three men tone dred and eight were imprisoned and suffered 4 horrible death in the burning colliery. The closing agony of the death of these men never will be known, as the mine has been thoroughly explored, and of all those who were below the ground when the awful catastrophe Occurred, not ome has Survived to tell the secrets of their prison house. The reeearches through the galleries of the mine have shown that waen the iast hope of communication with the shaft was cat of the men endeavored to save their lives erecting barriers to shat out the smoke kas, but the effort failed.

Tne miners are Teported as firm in their determination to re- Again to enter a mine with but one shaft And no other means of escape, and their reso- lution ought to have the t of compelling the necessary improvements in all the mines. Thomas Carson, of the Hampton mune, and George Morgan, of the Nanticoke, experienced miners, with twenty men, have explored every Part of the workings, and are satisfied that ail the bodies have been Tecovered. Outside par- ties say two are still missing. One handrea and eight is the number of taken ont. Ata meeting of the Relief Committee at Avon- dale George Coray, of Scranton, was appoint- ed to proceed to New York to solicit subscrip- tons, On recommendation of Mayor Hall, of New York, the Board ot Assistant Aldermen yesterday adopted res lutions of sympathy for the Avondale suffi and appointed a com- Mittee to receive subscriptions. The Gold Board and National Stock Exchange have ap- Propriated $3,(00,and Mayor Hall and Dat- mold & Cox are receiving liberal subscriptions for the widows and orphans. The coal opera- tors deing business in New York are raising a fand tor the same purpose, and a subscription has been started by the Commussioners of the Fire Department. Board has voted $1,000 for the relief of the Avondale sufferers, and the Commercial Ex- change will give a8 much more. A correspondent of the N. Y. Herald says: “Coffins have been sent from Scranton, Pitts- ton, Wilkesbarre and other places to meet the demand which Avondale makes upon hersister towns and cities in the valley. Such utter wretchedness was never witnessed anywhere &s that which is manifested by wives and danghters and sisters as they recognize in the liteless forms before them the loved ones who Would never smile upon them again this side ot eternity.

Late explorations of the mine have developed a sad phase of the tragedy. Many of the chambers have been en- tered, and miners found in them dead, the breast of the mine showing they had ‘been stricken down by poisonous gas ina moment and without a warning while they were aj | work. Roadmen, roofmen, doormen and others were found dead in different gang ways, show. ing that the destruction had come swift and sudden. The spirit evinced by miners has been bitter in the extreme, and not assuaged by the offers of assistance and sympathy flowing in from every side. Asa Packer has telegraphed that he of $2,500; Governor Geary 35,000. The railroad company make all exer-ions possible, and the wishes of the miners in every respect are consulted; but they remain obdarate. Trouble is apprehended, and has been avoided only by consummate tact. Every available space in the neighborhood of the tunnel entrance was thionged by men and women, the latter sitting like daughters of Jeptha, with features expressive of a deep and abiding sorrow. The miners who went down the pit in pairs were all volunteers—strong, resolute men, with frames of great endurance— and, though mines and accustomed for years to work below the surface of the earth, braving and bearing well the noxicus gases generated in coal mines, each one, nevertheless, on reappearing at the surface after an absence of twenty or twenty- five minutes, showed all the symptoms of the utmost physical prostration. In almost every instance it was necessary to apply toratives, 80 great was the exhalation. resent & pearance, cause. ‘by Dinck coal dust, with which every face was thickly smeared; yet they did not seem to give much expressian of pain in the faces of some, but rather a look of resignation to an inevitable fate, which gives to some features s calm and undisturbed appearance. Most of the bodies were clothed ir heavy woolen shirts and trou- sers. Some were naked from the waist up. wards. ‘The exhumation went on as rapidly as could be managed, Sonsidering the neces. sary imperfection of th@ temporary apparatus used, but still the delay was weariseme, even to mere spectators, and must have been doubly so to the watchers on the outside, who were so agonized with dread and expectation lest the Rext disinterment might be of that one of the dead tor whom they were especially and im- mediately interested.

When Mr. Hughes’ body was brought up bis coat was off, and his tools, time-book, and compass were missing. After it was deemed certain that more bodies maimed in the mine, Mr. Evan Hughes, — inside foreman of all the Delaware, ‘ka- wanna, and Western Railroad ae mines, and a brother to Mr. Evan Haghes, taking four men with him, went down to search for his brother’s coat, hoping to find in it the Mmemorands so much desired. He found the coat fifty or sixty yards from where Mr. Hughes” body had been found, and outside of both barricades. It contained his compass and other tools and two time boous, but no memoranda whatever.

IN THR OTHER PocKET.—Geo. W. Beall, Esq., our worthy tax-collector, had his pocket picked in the Congressional while the funeral services of the late Secretary Raw- lins were ia p }. Some thief abstracted from one of the pockets ot Mr. B.'s pants a metal tobacco box about half full of the weed— estimated value of the lot about twenty cents For the aggravation of the miserable scamp who would steal ata funeral, it may be men- tioned, im bo} that this paragraph will meet his eye, that he just missed it—the money was in the pocket on the other side. Coat SHIPMENTS.—Daring last week 19,476 tons of coal were shipped from Camberiand over the canal. SERVICES wfil be resumed at Christ Caarch (P. E.) next Tuesday, tne church having beea closed during the summer. THE Low waTse in the canal is becoming a source of great annoyance, and in consequence there has only one loaded boat arrived to-day ‘The water has been shut off from the flour mills for some days, and the coal companies here have no cargoes to place aboard the nu- merous coastwise schooners lying in port. ‘This is a bad state of affairs.
