Seven Men Imprisoned in the
Boston Run Colliery.
RESCUED ALIVE AND WELL
Two or Them TTere Not In limcer, but the
IUntkail Occasion to ltcllect on the Fata
of the Unfortunate Miners at Plymouth.
Foil 1'ar.lcnlara.
Special to KlSNINO I1BHAI.D.
St. Niciklae, March 1. Groat excitement
was caused here yesterday by tho discovery
that seven men had been entombed in the
Boston Run colliery by a cavodn of the
workings.
The mine officials kpt the matter very
quiet and assured the people that there was
no necessity for alarm, and if there was a fall
of the insido workings it could not, owing to
the character of tho workings, be an exten
slve one, and if any men were entombed they
would be speedily rescued alivo aud unln'
lUTed.
Fortunately the assurances of the mine
officials wore fulfilled by the recovery of all
the imprisoned men, alive and uninjured
but pretty badly scared by their experience.
Tho men wero William Irvln, Louis
Whitel, Charles Mohan, Edward Menjel and
James Cramer, of Frackville, and John and
Joseph Meckca, two Poles, of Shenandoah,
Tho Frackvillo men wero iu breast No. 02
of tb first lift and tho Poles were In breast
No. OS of tho second lift.
The discovery of the fall is given in the
words of Firo Boss Killleu. lie had been
through tho lifts early in the morning aud
reported them all tight, and the miners went
into their places.
At 9 o'clock yesterday morning Killlen
made another trip into tho mino and found
largo fall of slush and rock in the cast gang
way of tho first lift, It had rushed down
through breast No. 60.
Killlen reported the-dlscovery to Superin
Umoeitt Richards, who samrconcd othe
oSleials and several workmen and went back
into tho mine.
The party went to the second 11ft and found
wator to tho depth of three and a half feet at
breast No. 95, where tho Meckes men were
imprisoned. They wero fifty yards up tin
breast, working, and in ignorance of tho fall
which had occurred below them until the
rescuing party called thorn down. These two
men wero really not imprisoned.
Tho superintendent and his men then
returned to the first lift and to tho fall at
breast No. 80. Finding thoy could not get
over or around it to breast No. 82, where the
five men wero imprisoned, tho rescuing party
made their way through to tho lower lift and
Killlen went up breast No. 88,
Aft r traveling about 100 yardi up breatt
No. 88 Killlen crawled through a heading
into breast No. 87 and thsn rapped on tbe
walls and heard raps in reply.
Upon hearing tho raps Killlen cried out
'Are you all Tight?" and received a reply in
chorus "Yes."
Upon receiving; this reply Killlen went
through the'thcadiug to breast No. 60 and
down to wboro the rescuing party was
waiting. Then all went back to the fall at
breast No. 80 in the first lift and commenced
the work of making a passage-way through
the debris.
This work was not rightly started nntll
noon and it took until 11:30 at night to dig
and timber an opening through the fall,
which was thirty feet long.
The imprisoned men wero waiting for the
jescueing party in the gangway a fow yards
east of the fall.
, There was great rejoicing as the first of the
entombed men passed through the opening
aud cheers unci oxolamatlonB of joy from all
in tho gangway as the rescue was completed.
The Frackvillo mon said that when tbey
realized they wero closed In visions of the
Plymouth horror dashed through their
minds and they wero badly soared, but they
wero about to try and effect some means to
etospe through when thoy heard the rappings.
Tho fill was caused by a break occasioned
by the accumulation of wator iu a mine
breach, which broko through to breast No. 60,
carrying mud, rock aud coal with it to the
gangway in tho first lift. Much water found
its way through tho continuation of breast
No. SO, to the gangway in the second lift,
filling It with water to a depth of 34 feet aud
carrying considerable debris with it.
