Bellefonte, Pa., May 3, 1907. TO SAVE ENTOMBED MEN Rescuers Work Desperately to Reach Seven Men In Flooded Mine. Johnstown, Pa., April 30.—Officials of Mine 38, of the Berwind-White op- erations at Foustwell, where seven men have been imprisoned by water for the last 84 hours, stated that it would take at least 12 hours more to effect a rescue. The first dip betweeg the pit mouth and the imprisoned men has been drained, and the pumps being used by the rescuing party have been started upon the second dip. A wall of water 400 feet through, completely filling the mine heading, now separates the un- fortunate men from the rescuing party. ‘When this section of the mine has been cleared of water the way will be clear and the seven miners can be brought outside. Mine officials stated that they had arrived at a solution of a problem that has been puzzling them since the im- prisoned foreigners first started sig- nalling on the air pipe line. The pris- oners sounded four taps first and then seven. This the o®icials believe to mean that they are infprisoned in the fourth north heading off of the second right heading and tignt there are seven of them living. The map of the mine shows that the overcast in this fourth porth heading—or air course—is al- most two feet above the water level and that the men are all safe if they have reached the elevated position mentioned. * a DAVID WILLCOX A SUICIDE Former Railroad President Killed Hime self On Steamer. New York, April 27.—David Willcox, former president of the Delaware & Hudson Railroad company, committed suicide by shooting at sea last Wed- nesday, while a passenger on the North German Lloyd steamer Barbarossa, ac- cording to a report made to Health | Officer Doty by Captain Langrenter. | The Barbarossa is at quarantine, where the steamer arrived from Genoa and Naples. Upon the arrival of the liner it was reported that Mr. Willcox had died of heart failure. As he had been known to be in ill health and had gone abroad recently in the hope of recuperating it was no great sur- prise to his friends to learn that he had succumbed. ’ Subsequent investigation, however, according to the captain, developed evidence that Mr. Willcox had shot himself. In reporting the facts to Dr. Doty, the captain said that he had only a few moments before been made aware of the real cause of death. Dr. Doty said that he would make an in- vestigation. Mr. Willcox, broken in health, sailed some time ago and recently, because he had not secured the benefit physi- cally that he sought, he cabled his resignation of the presidency of the railroad, which was accepted by the directors, who chose his successor in Leonor F. Loree, former president of the Baltimore & Ohio and the Rock Island railroad. At the time it was given out that Mr. Willcox's retire- ment from the presidency of the Dela- ware & Hudson was prompted solely by {ll health. BEATEN AND LAID ON TRACKS ——— YEAGER & DAVIS.

Friska regained con- sciousness long enough to tell his story of the assault after reaching the hospital. He sald that he had come to Pittsburg to collect some money, and while crossing the tracks of the West Penn division of the Pennsyl- vania railroad in Allegheny on his way home, he was set upon by three ne- groes, who beat him. He says he knew nothing more until roused by the loco- motive crushing his limbs. His cries brought some railroad men, who sum- moned an ambulance and sent him to the hospital. Driska gave a good de scription of the assailants, and a gen- eral alarm was sent throughout Alle. gheny county by the police. Robbery was the motive of the crime.

The lights attracted the five men as they came upon them out of the dark- ness and heard the sound of feet upon the hoards. They had no particular grudge against Beebe; they attacked him because he happened to be near- est, meaning to enter the house later and indulge in a free-for-all fight.

He was walking in the churchyard while a grave was being dug when the sexton cast up a moldering skull. The doctor idly took it up, and, in handling it, found a headless nail driven into it. This he managed to take out and con- ceal in his handkerchief. It was evi- dent to him that murder had been done. He questioned the sexton and learned that the skull was probably that of a certain man who was the proprietor of a brandy shop and was a drunkard, be- ing found dead in bed one morning after a night in which he had drunk two quarts of brandy. “Had he a wife?’ asked the doctor. “Yes,” “What character does she bear?” “She bore a very good character, only the neighbors gossiped because she married the day after her husband's funeral. She still lives here.” The doctor soon called on the woman, He asked for and received the particu- lars of the death of her first husband. Suddenly opening his handkerchief, he showed her the telltale nail, asking in a loud voice: “Madam, do you know this nail?” The woman was so surprised that she confessed and was tried and exe- cuted.
