Death In a Mine.

At 11 o'clock on the 27th, Johnathan Wasley, superintendent, Frank Willman, inside boss, and John Reese, district superintendent of the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron company, descended Keely Run colliery at Pottsville, Pa., to examine the ventilation. They were found at one o'clock, dead, from black damp. The most intense excitement prevailed, and all three men dead have families.
