RESCUED
ALIVE
Tiie Imprisoned lilucrs Were Found Early
Yesterday Afternoon.
TWENTY-SIX HOURS OF ANGUISH
Both Men Woll and Little the Worse
for Their Terrible Experience How
the Gallant Work of Rescue Was
Carried On Danger Was Never
Considered by the Brave Band
Which Saved the Imprisoned Men.
The two Polsnders, John Moroskl
and Frank Shelter, who were impris
oned by ttie Bellevue cave-in, were res
cued yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock,
after spending twenty-six Lours in
bodily sulleriug aud mental anguish.
Moroskl hsd to be assisted out but
Shelter was active enough to walk with
out help.
An liumsnse crowd, attracted by the
nowa of the finding of the men, as
sembled at the mouth of the slope aud
cheer after cheer rout the air when the
brave rescuing party with tho llboratod
millers appeared. Moroski'4 two little
sous who accompanied the rescuing;
party into the miue were the only rela
tives to greet the two Pulander when
they came from what would have been
their tomb had not the ofliulals of the
company made such tluioly and strenu
ous eiiorts to rolease tbeiu.
Mr. Storri aud his men are deserv
ing of great crodit for the successful
outcome of the work of resoue. There
was no tltna lost, but immediately
upon grasping the situation every
method available to find the impris
oned men was resorted to without any
question of labor, danger or expense.
lo enter a "working mine Into ma
very heart of the distnrbanoe where
good air aud safe ro.ifs are all a matter
of chance Is an undertaking which is
attended with no small risk, aud tho
noble men who braved these dangers
deserve rank with the foremost of
heroes.
THE WORK OP RESCUE.
About 11 o'clock yesterday morning
tho imprisoned men were first spoken
to. About sixteon feet of fullen coal
was between them and the rescuers.
The work whs pushed as rapidly as
possible aud wheu but seven and one
half feet remained to be cleared a bole
was bored through the coul into the
chamber and as soon as the drill was
withdrawn Shelter informed the res
cuers that he and Moroskl were all
right. Tbey bad lights and plenty of
oil and as they had been sparing of
their provisions they were not sutler'
iug to any great extent from hunger.
'The space In which they were im
prisoned was about nine yards
long and the regular width of
a chamber. Tbey bad heard all
along the sounds of the picks and drills
of the rescuers, but as tbey could not
trust their judgement as to how far
away the working was going on, tbey
kept in the farthest part of their cell
for fear a blast would force in the wall
upon them. The Bhift which was at
work when the rescue was accom
plished was in charge of Evan J.
Evans, foreman of the Avondnle mine,
and was made up of William Richards,
William Jenkins, John Davies and
Keese Anthony. To reach the impris
oned men it was necessary to drive a
tunnel four feet square through nine
teen fet of solid ooal and; several feet
of loose rock.
BTORY OF THB HEX.
They first knew of their danger when
Miner Richard Evans culled for them
to run as the roof was falling. They
attempted to do so, but, lacking spirit,
became afraid aud retraced their steps,
taking shelter in the chamber of Evaus.
When the men found no means of
escape they unloaded the coal from a
car. which was fortunately with them,
and turned it over on its side as a
shelter in case the roof should b9gin to
full again. Moroskl worked aguinst
the pillar with pick and shovel and for
a time was nearly frantic. The air in
the enclosure was very good, and was
probably supplied from the many
cracks and fissures eonnectlng with the
surface.
The men as soon as they reached the
surface wore given a warm welcome
and a large crowd escorted them to
their homes on the South Side. Mor
oskl lives at 1010 Prospect avenue and
Frank Shelter lives at 1127 Remington
avenue.
CAUSE OF THE CAVE IN.
Evan J. Eyans, mine foreman at
Avondnle, who superintended the seo
ond search party, was seen by a I'm
tUNK reporter yesterday af'.ernoon.
Mr. Evans is a man who has spsnt tho
greatest part of his life underground,
and when questioned regarding the
cause of the catastrophe, said the pil
lars might have been weakened by age
or decay. Changes in tbe weather
cause tbe pillars to crack and split by
depress and this cave-in, he said, might
have been caused by either or both of
the reasons stated.
The excitement nt the mine has sub
sided and the Simpson & Watkins'
steam-drill which was in readiness to
be worked from the surface has been
removed. The Delaware, Laokawaua
and Western oflloiils who assisted in
the rescue were, W.R. Storrs, Thomas
1), Davis, B-jcjsmin Hughes, Thomas
Phillips, Evan J. Evans and Divid
Davies.

toric Gettysburg last night via tbe
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
railroad. They departed on n train of

ing. If any proof were noccBsary to pro
claim tho confidence and admiration
by which the regiment is hold in the

nue the sidewalks were occupied by a
solid muss of people, whose cheers
added to the spirited mnsio of fifo and

the impression that nothing was luck

panied by veterans of the Civil war who
were iu the memorable Gettysburg
fight and will act as guides in properly
explaining tbe fight whUh saved tue
nation. Each company had some par
