MINERS CAUGHT
IN A CAVE-IN
The Roof of the Gaylord Mine at Plymouth
Gives Way.
THIRTEEN MEN ARE ENTOMBED
A Section of the Rock and Coal Falls
Suddenly at the Firing of a Shot.
The Men Are Thought to Be In One
Gangway A Rescuing Party Hard
at Work Heartrending Scenes at
he Mouth of the Shaft.
Wilkbb-Babbb, Feb. 13.
r N EXTENSIVE cave-in occurred
M lit the Gaylord mine of the
U Kingston Coal company at Ply
LTu Bmm tins morning A large
uiiuibeTof miner and laborers were at
work under a section of the roof which
was for some time pst nas b-en con
sidered very weak. After a shot had
been tired and without any warning
whatever the roof, consisting of rook
ami coal, fell into the mino with a
heavy crash.
As far as can be estimated the cave
in carried about thirty acres of land.
It is not known as ye whether any of
the men were killed outright by the
falling debris, but it is known that
thirteen of them are bemtnel In in one
of the gangways.
RESCUING PARTIES AT WORK.
The first rescue party went into the
mine at 0 o'clock and others have been
working heroic-ally during the entire
day. A number of mine foremen and
their a3istant9, led by John 13. Davis,
superintendent of the Gaylord work
ings, who have been in the mine all the
afternoon, came out at f o'clock and
report that all, the outlets in the
mine are closed, also the rock tunnel
and all the entrances. The cavein ia
now rported to hav taken place in
what is known as the 5-foot vein, 7 foot
vein and Bennett veins. The cave-iu
covers an area of about a mil, it hav
ing extended since noon tod y, and af
fects the central portion of the town of
Plymouth.
A few cracks can be seen on th snr
faee, but this has not become aif-eted
as yet. The rescuing party was
obliged to retraat on account of the
further caving in of tho mine. The
crashing of the immense rock as they
came down, tha rolling and the rurab
liug of the many falls and tho rush and
roar of the wind by the concussion
forced th men to retreat to the sur
face. Men of all classes who are fa
miliar with mine working are at the
scene of the disaster aud their willing
hearts and strong arms are ready to go
into the mine whetiever the word ia
given to aid in rescuing the entombed
tiinberinm if snch in poisihle.
AN INTIMATION OF DANGER.
The thirteen timber men who went
into the mine aud now are imprisoned
there, wera warned yesterday that there
was danger ahead, but they were of
the opinion that the danger was not
sufficient for them to stay out. They
said, however, to the hoisting engineer
as they went nownlthe pit, "should
anything occur yon will fiud us in the
Big Brauch in the Bennett vein." This,
however, is also closed, and there is no
way to reach them.
Tho section of the mine in which the
men are imprisoned is a portion of the
Baltimore vein, which at this point is
very thick, and they were engaged in
placing large timbers M as to prop and
support the roof.
The names of the unfortunate men
who are imprisoned are as follows:
Thomas Ptcton, mine foreman; Thomas
Jones, James Ords, Daniel Morgan,
Thomas Leyshon, Richard Davis,
Thomas Cole, Peter F, McLaughlin,
Michael Walsh, Johu, Morris, John
Arne, James Kingdoo, Thomas Cole.
All the men were married except
Thomas Leyshon, who is a single man,
aud Daniel Morgan, who is a widower.
SCENES ABOUT THE SHAFT.
The scene a out the iniue late to
night is heartrending and from the
present outlook there will be at least
eleven widow and plenty of orphans to
suffer the loss of their only support.
The officials are hard at work to devise
some plan or means f rescue, an 1 in
order to get at the men they will have
to penetrate through 400 feet of solid
coal and rock. It is believed by the
superintendent and others that the
imprisoned men are on the "big plan-"
in the Bennett vein, which ia about 700
feet from the foot nf the shaft.
It will be several days aud the most
heroic work must be done before the
men can be reuched and there fate as
certained. The work of digging their way
through the coal from the foot of the
shaft to reach the entombed men be
gan this evening It is not known bow
long it will take, and it is possible that
they will never be reached or found.

The Eminent Pianist Passes Away
After a Long Illness A Career1
Filled with Interest.
C'ario, Feb. 13 -Hans Von Bulow,
the distingui hed German pianist, is
dead. Von Bulow was born Jan. 8,
1330, at Dresden: he studied under
R chard Wagner and Liszt and was, in
1850, musical chi'f of the theaters of
Saint Gall and Zurich. In 1851 Von
Hnrlow settled in Berlin aud was
named, in 1858, Pianist of the Prince
Royal. In 1864, at the invitation of
Wagner, Von Bulow wnt to Munich
where he became, in 107, director of
tue New Royal School for music and
and master of the etiapsl of the court.
Von Bulow visited the United States
for the fir't time in 1875 and returned
again in 1380 aud 1301, playing suceess
ml engagements, ull marked by his
unique and ecoentric personality.
He married Cosima Liszt, a natural
laughter of the great' musician Liszt.
They separated and Mrs. Von Bulow
married Wagner. The courtship of
Wagner began before Mrs. Vou Bulow
obtained a divorce, and whon the
couple eloped the husband did not pur
sue them, vowing vengeance. On th
contrary, he helped to arrange nutters
for a divorce, and even carried his
complacency so far as to attend Cos-
iinu'x marriage to Wagner. It was a
regular romance and Mrs Wagner and
Von Bulow were ever afterward great
friends.
Von Bulow had to be watched on ac
count of his eccentricities. Ho said
anything that came to his mind, and
one of his tours in this conn ry.had to
he shortened on account of his mental
peculiarities. The strain of pliiying
ml v was too much.
He conl 1 not speak English wall
and was asmail, bald-headed man with
a light mustache and keen eyes. He
seemed to be all nervous energy. No
one ever knew when about to engage
him in conversation whether he would
break out into vehement vituperation

new jockey club hopod to acsoinplish.
He said all of the racing associations
had promised to join with the new
club except the Coney island Jockey
ub.
He saul that tho object or the new
jockey club was to correct abuses that
had crept into racing. It was organ'
Izo 1 at the requost of the racing men
and breeders. There had been no mo
tive, he said, of personal aggrandize
ment on the part of promoters. Their
only obioct had been the elevation of
racing.
They had thought that if they could
orgnnizs a club of fifty or seventy-five
prominent men they could prevent hos

have favorable laws passed in New

ture of racing looks dubious eveu in

Bukxos Ayhes, Feb. 13.
n DVICES have been received from
M Rio reporting that a combat bt
U tween the insurgents and the
government forces at Nictheroy
has occurred. It lasted bix hours and
the fighting was most desperate. The
insurgents lost !00 men. The govern
ment loss is unknown.
Admiral Saldauha da Gama, the
rebel commander, who was wounded
iu the neck and arm by Mannlicher
bullets during the battle of Armscao
on Friday last, is in a critical condi
tion. It was at first supposed that the
admiral's wounds were insignificant.
A FOOTHOLD OAINED.
Nictheroy is the chief stategic point
of Rio's defense against tho rebels
toward the sea, aud the efforts of the
insurgent sea forces have been princi
pally directed at it. It has for some
time been foretold that a supretu ef
fort would be mado to take Rio by a
combined movemeut of the rebel land
and sea forces.
The reported engagement at Rio, iu
connection with the reported advance
of insurgent forces on Santas, may be
the fulfilling of this design.
If the reported battle at Nictheroy
be true, the rebels have evidently ad
vanced a step '.'since the engagement
Friday at Armacao Ponta de Areia, in
the vicinity of Nictheroy.

duras Lottery company in its relations
