Description of tho Scene.
Pittston, Pa., May 28. From midnight to
noon to-day the excitement around the West
Pittston shaft has been unabated. Thousands
of people arrived on the ground last night, and
the period of suspense was trying and intense.
Everybody had his own theory as to the chances
of life for the men in the depth beneath. Some
thought that the miners would be saved on ac
count of the copious supply of water running
through the mines, but all the mining engineers,
superintendents, foremen, and experienced
miners thought the chance of salvation very
meagre. Avondale was a tale-telling and sor
rowful precedent, and the surging crowd, argu
ing more from analogy than any scientific
knowledge of the facts in the case, concurred
in the belief that the unfortunate men who were
lying in the subterranean channel of death were
beyond ail hopes of recovery. Mothers and
wives participated in the same
FEELING OF DESPAIR,
and loud were the lamentations heard on all
sides, finding an echo in every heart, and draw
ing tears from every eye. The whole scene
around the r baft was a perfect illustration of
hopelessness and resignation, but the brave men
working incessautly, with no other incentive
than love of their fellow-men, did not diminish
their energy nor allow their . ardor to cool.
Towards midnight preparations were completed
to enter the shaft. A temporary platform
carriages had been constructed and a hoisting
apparatus prepared. The rope attached to the
carriage was manned by five hundred willing
hands, and an efficient officer, Mr. J. E. Patter
son, had charge of the signals and hoisting. To
keep the crowd away and clear passages for the
transmission of fresh air, a circle of rope was
formed around the mine and nobody allowed
inside the enclosure.
At 11 o'clock P. M. four men volunteered to
enter the shaft. They were lowered down, but
conld not penetrate further than 100 feet. When
hoisted up they reported
INDISTINCT VOICES COMING FROM BELOW.
A fluttering of hope ran through the crowd.
At 11-80 three miners voluteered again, but
after reaching the depth of 200 feet the signal
was given for hoisting. They reported a noise,
but it might have been an echo.
At 12 M. three miners were let down, and
nothing was heard from them for half an hour.
The suspense was intolerable. Many apprehen
sions oi danger were afloat whet at last tne
signal was given to hoist. The explorers went
as far as the barricade built by the miners, and
on that they found, written with chalk, the fol
lowing inscription:
"WE ARB ALL IN HERE."
From that time till noon to-day the men were
brought up gradually, sometimes one at a time.
Medical aid was plenty, there being a large
number of physicians on the ground tarnished
with restoratives and other medical stores.
The men around worked bravely, sus
tained by the hope that every new arrival
at the top of the shaft would be a live man.
The sonorous voice of Patterson at the meuth
of the shaft proclaimed the fate of the men.
The air resounded at regular intervals with the
announcement "dead," "dying," "breathing
hard,", "groaning heavily," "insensible," and
many other equally descriptive and sad qualifi
cations. Those who volunteered to enter the
mines in search of the men were often over
come with choke-damp, and many of them are
sot yet free from its effects.
THE LAST MAN.
At 1130 A. M. thirty-six men had been hoisted
up. and another man was reported misslnz.
Several parties went down in search of him, but
did not succeed. lie was supposed to be at
the bottom of the than, buried under the
debris. Men were sent with shovels and picks
to clear the rubbish, and others volunteered
to explore the mines east and west. For
two lone hours the men worked with a wilL
and for two long hours the people outside
were held in breathless suspense. At last the
long-expected signal to hoist was given, and the
man brought up alive. He was found lying on
his side, with his arm under hlo head, about
fifty feet lrom the place in which he usually.
worKea. lie naa crept into an airway, aid tne
water near the airway was waist deep. Had he
been there an hour longer he would hive been
drowned. After being brought to the open air
the reaction was too strong for him, and at 4
O'clock he was added to the list of dead.
One of the miners working at the shaft was
saved providentially. A short time before the
fire broKe out he was suddenly seized witn a
severe toothache. Without auy delay be went
out to have the tooth extracted, aud before he
was a dozen rods away the breaker was in
flames. One of the men who died (Martin
Crehan) could have been saved, but, anxious for
the safety of his fellows, he ran lo the east
gangway to lntorm tuein oi tne impending ca
lamity, and returned too late to seeure his own
aie.
INTERVIEW WITH THE SAVED.
At fonr o'clock this afternoon I repaired to
the house of Thomas Edwards and his ton
George, two of the men who had been within
the gates of death. Neither of them had suf
fered much, and both were able to converse
freely. The following is the conversation which
took Place:
Reporter George, I wnt you torelate, as far
as you can remember, tue events of the last
twenty-iour hours: how you ieil in tne mines,
and what occurred there r
George We went into the mines this morn
ing at f. At 2 we were preparing to come oat.
Upon approaching the loot I noticed some
burning timbers fulling down, and the truth
came on my mind that the shaft was on fire.
aud that we would all be shut in as they were at
Avondale. J he carriage above came down
with a crash, and we ru back along the east
gangway. Robert SmaUcombe gave the first
warning. After ne got back about two
hundred feet we commenced building a
wall across the gangway to keep
awav the smoke. Vo of the men.
John Burroughs, wrote on this barricade. "We
are all inside here," and after we got inside wo
encouraged each other, and held a prayer meet
ing, and prepared for the worst. Few of our
men were calm. At 6 o'clock some of them
beuan to sleeD. I tried to wake them, but they
would no sooner wake than they wguld fall
asleep again. I opened, tue door and went
towards the shaft, but was nearly overcome with
the smoke and sulphur, i went back to the
men and lound most i tnein aexeep. i remem
ber nothing further. ,
STATEMENT OF THE BMALLCOMBIS.
From Edwards' house I went to the home of
tbe 8maIlcombes; four of the family were in the
mine, and the father lay dead while the three
eons were lively and almost convalescent. The
explanations given by these three sons are very
clear and Interesting. Each of them talked in
his turn. This Is their statement.-
ThomaB saw tbe smoke about two hundred
feet from the foot of the shaft; at 2 30 1 went to
look for Thomas Crehan, and saw him go up
tbe shaft jnst as I reached it; I went back to
look for father, and met him and my brothers
going towards the floor; we tried to get there,
but tbe fire was too hot and the smoke too thick;
we then went back to the east gangway and as
sisted the men to build a barricade across the
gangway; we built it of calm and stone, and
some of the men stripped themselves of their
clothing to put in tho crevices; it took us an
hour and a half to put up the wall; all the men
in the mines were assisting us as far as their
feelings wonld allow them; many of them were
overcome with grief, and could not work; Mar
tin Cooney, eighteen years old, died in half an
bonr after the barricade was built; he died of a
broken heart; the three men found on the out
side tried to get into the enclosure, but were
suffocated in the attempt; two of the men on
the outside were doing sentinel duty, watching
the current of air at the foot of the shaft; the air
went upwards after the first half hour, and
continued so for two hours, so we opened the
door; Robert and Thomas had just been re
lieved, when Andrew Morgan and Hiram Mor
gan and Hiram Cuftls went there, and they
must have fallen under the influence of choke
damp, but we could not say why they did not
come back to us. At 7-30 we held a prayer
meeting. Some were cursing and others sing
ing hymns. We saag this verse:
Before Jehovah's awful throne,
Ye nations bow with sacred Joy;
Bnow that the Lord is God alone,
lie can create and he destroy.
Many were crying, and one little boy, James
Jones, cried out, "I shall never see my dear
mother again."
Information just received shows that John
Burroughs died this evening at the hotel near
the shaft. This makes
EIGHTEEN DEAD AND NINETEEN LIVING.
An inquest will be held to-morrow morning
on the dead bodies. There is no doubt as to the
criminal oversight of the operators in the eva
sion of the ventilation. This law forbids more
than twenty men to work in the shaft at one
time until two openings are secured. Black fc
Co. worked sixty-five men. Tbe inspector had
visited tbe mines on Thursday, and should have
enforced the requirements of the bill.
The men who have loot their lives in this dis
aster will be buried on Tuesday. A. Y. World.
THE MURDEKEl) HOSTAGES.
Sketch of the Albo Duguerry.
There appears now to be no doubt of the fate
of the poor Archbishop of Paris and his compan
ions, among whom was the Abbe Gaspard Du
guerry. The latter was born at Lyons, in 1797,
of a family who originally came from Switzer
land. His father was a wood merchant.
In 1812 he entered the College of Villa
franca, and in 1814 he began his eccle
siastical studies. In 1820 he was or
dained priest, under a dispensation, and de
voted four years to the study of philosophy and
theological oratory, when he began to preach,
officiating in Lyons and Paris. In 1827 he was
appointed by Charles X almoner to the 0tn Regi
ment of the Royal Guard, accompanying it to
Rouen. Orleans, and Paris. In Orleans, in 1830.
he pronounced an eulogy on Joan of .Arc, and
twenty-eight years afterwards was invited to
repeat it. in low ne visited Kome, and ou nis
return was made Canon or JNotre Dame, and
subsequently was appointed cure of the Church
St. JLustacbe and ot the Madeleine, in laoi ne
was nominated Bishop of Marseilles, but re
quested the Emperor to permit him to
decline tbe nomination. In 1868 he had
charge of the religious education of the Prince
Imperial a circumstance tojwhlch he was prob
ably indebted lor his selection Dy toe com
munist leaders as a hostage He received the
order of the Legion of Honor in lolo, and, was
made a commander in 1868 at the first com
munion of the Prince. Among his contributions
to ecclesiastical literature are: "Kulogy of

THE FORTUNATE FEW.
A Lottery Drawing -Chlcagoans lu Luck,
The Chicago Jitpullican, after giving an
account of the drawing of the Milwaukee Musi
cal Society's gift scheme, says:
Strange to relate, the winners of the $25,000
prize and the $5000 prize are both residents of
Chicago. The ticket No. 19,215, which drew
the first prize, was purchased by Mrs. Celle,
residing at No. 224 South Leavltt street. This
estimable lady is the widow of Captain Adam
Celle, a member of the New York Marine
Cavalry, who died in Llbby Prison in lsGo, ot
wounds received. Mrs. Celle has been in poor
health and in straitened circumstances, and it
was only as a birthday present for her little
boy, a bright little chap of seven summers, that
the invested in the ticket a sum which repre
sented much to her. On reading the prize list
the fainted with joy, and could not credit the
fact that fickle fortune had been so kind to her.
She left for Salem, Mass.. where her parents
reside, a happier woman than she has been for
many a day.
The second prize cf $5000 was drawn by
Charles . Straubenzle, a printer in the Repub
lican office, a native of Beloit, Wis., whence he
only arrived last week, lie is a steady and un
assuming; young man, of sober and quiet habits,
and the sole slay ef a widowed mother and a
family of young brothers and sisters. Every
one in the establishment heartily congratulated
him on his good fortune, as he started out
trembling with joy to carry the good news to
Lla worthy mother.
