Another Accident in the Mines.—John Cook and William Crease, two miners working in Patton's mines, near Lliewellen were caught by a heavy fall of coal and slate, crushing and killing the former instantly, and falling upon the latter in such a manner as to prevent his moving or escaping. They remained in this situation from early on Saturday afternoon until 9 o'clock at night, when their non appearance created an alarm, and knowing that they were working alone in these mines, they were sought for and found in the situation we describe—the deceased has left behind him a wife.
