THE FATAL MINING ACCIDENT AT KUMARA.
(by telegraph.) Kum aha, July 13. Philip Cumins, one of the men injured, died in the Hospital last night. An inquest was commenced this morning on the body of Denis Phelan. The Inspector of Works, in evidence, said : I wish to state that at all times the contractor has taken a great interest, and done all in his power to carry out the work safely, and in accordance with specifications. The inquest was adjourned till after the funeral of Philip Cumins and Denis Phelan. When it recommences on Thursday a large number of witnesses' evidence has yet to be takenr It is very probable that the body of John Phelan will be got out of the tunnel although the ground is constantly running, and is frightfully dangerous to the recovering party.
