Wilkes BAttBi.Feb.90 At 7 o'clock
this evening there is little or no change
in the situation at the Gaylord mine,
t ie outlook for reaching the entombed
men at an early hour is anything but
encouraging. There is but little pro
gress or headway made by th rescuing
p.irty though they are working hard to
reach the fatal spot. How soon this
will be is hard to tell from the looks of
things in the mine at present.
Mine Inspector Williams has but
little to say regarding the catastrophe,
but he is of the opinion that there are
many hundred feet of debris yet to be
removed. It is not generally known to
auy outsider, but it is learned from
miners who are posted that fulls con
tmue to occur and hugli rocks come
down fifty to 100 feet sijuare, Which In
terferes with the workers almost daily.
At the mines they say, "We expect
to reach the men almost any hour,
but this is not believed bv many of the
miners who worked there and are fa
milisr with the situation of affairs.
Canvass stretchers are in readiness
but it is not known by anyone, as yet,
whether they will ever be uied.

kin of having committed an indecent
assault and battery, and an assault
nd battery with intent to commit a
felony, attracted a large crowd of spec
tators today. The case has now as
sumed a phase Indicating that there
h is been effort to make Mr. Atioker
m m the victim of a cruel conspiracy.
The two principal witnesses of the day
were:
loseph H. Itankin, husband of Mrs
Rankin, and Mr. Auckerman. The de-
fenss put on a number of oharacter
witnesses and the day closed with the
xstninatioti of witnesses ns to Mrs.
Rankin' poor reputation for truth and
veracity. H. C. Work, superintendent of
the I'pper Buffalo Sabbath school, snd
brother or Mrs itaiiKin, was tne last
witness for the prosecution His tin-
lerstanding of Anckermun s crime was
that he bnd tnken Mrs Itanklu by the

Mr. Rice said that Mr. McLeod un
folded his "coal combine" plans to him
when he (Mr. McLsnrli was assured he
could obtain the let of the Lehigh
Valley, before the colisent of the Jersey
Central to become a part of the eombi
untion was secured.
The witness declared that Mr, Mc
Leod said the leasing of the Lehigh
Valley alone would DO useless and ab
surd. Subsequently the Reading's ex
president told the witness that the
cause of Reading's downfall was large
ly due to the Lehigh Valley's lease
which, instead of making a yearly
profit of 11.000,000 as he (Mr. McLo 11
supposed, would be because there had
been an actual loss of $1,500,000. The
witniss further stated that Mr Mc
Leod told him the Lehigh Valley offic
ials had made gross inisiepresetitstious
or the lease would not have been made.
The witness reiterated what he said
in his report upon fteadingj'a condition,
which was made at the instance of the
Pennsylvania Company for Insurance

trustee under several mortgages, that
coal purchases should be discontinued.
