There is great excitement here in consequence of the burning of @ “coal breaker’ at the Arondale mine, In Plymouth, about twenty miles south of this city. There are 201 men and boys tn the mine, and the shaft, which is their only means for escape, is choked by forty feet of burning coal and rubbish, Ventilation {a totally stopped, and there are great fears that somo, if not all, will be suffocated.

All efforta te stay the flames were in vain and the whole structure fell, partly filling up the shaft, Over two hundred men are in the shaft and have no communication out, with no chance for air, as the only way for getting air into the shaft was through the main opening and that was filled with the burning timbers and déort, It ts feared that the whole number have been snffocated by the amoke or perished for want of air. The firo departments of Scranton, Wilkesbarre and Kingston are on hand, and are playing streams down the shaft for tho purpose of quenching the fire there go the rubbish oan be cleared out and the con- dition of the men ascertained. It will probably take till to-morrow morning before any tidings can be received from them. The scene at the shaft is heart-rending. The families of the miners are congregated there tn great numbers. Minera from all parts of the coun- try are there at work, and merchants, and in tact the whole population of the town have tvrned out to assiat. The loss by fire will amount to about $100,000, partly covered by insurance, All the physicians of the vicinity have been sum- Mmoned to attend when the condition of the men is ascertained, The affair has cast a gloom upon the whole com- munity and business ts almost entirey suspended, The mines only resumed work to-day after a sus- pension of about three months.

They reported that they had penetrated a gangway sixty or seventy yards, finding three dead mules, and reach- ing @ closed door, at which they bat tered so lustily that their blows wore heard above ground, but got no response and discovered no signs of life. Clouds of sul- phurous gases were pouring ont through the door, yet they could breathe wtthout very much dimeulty. The clouds Of sulphurous gases mentioned as pout: ing through the gangway door to which the first men down had penetrated, must have filled that part of the mine around the foot of the shaft, if not all of it, Despatches Just received from Avondale say that Thomas W. Williams, of Plymouth, and David Jones, of Grand Tunnel, who went down to make further investigations, were suffocated to death, On @ second attempt Williams’ dead body was brought out by David H, Davis and Benjamin Jones. Thomas Williams went down and dragged David Jones some distance to the foot of the shaft, when he was compelled to come up, John W. and Isaac Thomas then went down and brought up the body. All who attempted to go down are now out alive except Williams and Jones, No further attempt will be made to go down until @ small engine ts rigged to drive a fan at the mouth \ of the shaft and force air in through & canvass hose.
