The King’s Message.
Their Majesties’ Sympathy With The Sufferers.
The following telegram has been received at Cadeby by Mr. W. H. Chambers, managing director of the Colliery Company, from Lord Stamfordham :
The King and Queen are shocked to hear of the terrible accident at your colliery, and the fact that their Majesties were near to the scene in the midst of so much rejoicing when they visited Conisborough yesterday, brings home to them still more the sorrow and sadness which now prevails amongst you.
I am desired to express Their Majesties’ heartfelt sympathy with the families of those who have perished and with the sufferers in their grievous calamity.
