Tho alarm was lmmodintcly, given bjtho ringing of tho flro bolls, and rescuers kworo put to work without dolay. AVs o'clock yester day afternoon tho first tiodleSfwero found In tho slopo somo dlstnncbfroiil tho piano wnoro tno rnon nan ueenfworjiing.' About two weeks iiKO'th'o"s'urvoyors re ported to General Superintendent Law that tho mlno was "squeezing," and that unloss stops woro Immediately taken to tlmbor it a euvein or fnll'mlght bo looked for. buporlntondont Law lost uol time, but at onco put a number of tlmbermen nt work to brnco tho fulling roqf. Tho "squeeze" contlnuod, howovor, and on Saturday tho bltuatlon becamo alnrmlng. In tho afternoon a blight fall occurred, and the men who were at work had to retreat before it. A consultation of mlng officials was then hold, and It was decided that ho rolo measures would hnvo to Iwiroforted to to prevent heavy damago to thymine. Insldo Superintendent Langan Kavo in structlons that tho most oxporlonced miners should he secured, and thai; tho party would go down tho mlnoatTi) clock. Experttlmbermon put in nn appoarnncont that hour nnd were soon lowered Into tho workings. Thoy niado their way ib tho rod ash voln, 1,600 feet down tho slope, Tho work of propping proceoded rapidly until 11 o clock, when another fall oc curred. It mado a low, rumbling noise, nnd tho flying coal and debris drovo the men back. Then tho "squeezo" ceased again and tho men thought it was safo to resume work, They labored until 3 ;20 o'clock yesterday morning, when, so it Is presumed, tho roof fell in without warning, making a tre mendous crash, If tho men received any warning thoy had timo to run up tho slopo, hut not to any great distance Tho falling rook and coal filled up tho slopo and tho adjoining gangways, completely shutting off all avenues of oscnpo. It is still jiosslblo that living mon may still bo bohlnd tho fall, although it is ex tremely Improbable. Even if thoy usenpod being crushed by tho falling roof, tho pos sibility of their being alivo for any length of timo in a guseous mine Is remote. Tho alarm was first given by Water Carrier John Sheridan, who, with Will iam Itecharil and Thomas Gill, were tho only onos to escapo of the whole party who entered tho mine Saturday night. Ho was on his way up tho slopo to get somo freh water for tho mon, and when about a hun dred feet from tho foot of tho shaft was knocked down by tho concussion. Ho was badly cut and burnotl by Hying ooaland rook, lie my unconsolousrur tamnlnutw, nnu tnen enmo up tno snnit. xno concussion was so great that JtuWas hoard for miles around. The foundations Qf nearly ovory building in Plttston woro shakon, nnd windows nnd doors rnttlod ns in a tornado. In tho houses nearer to tho mlno persons were thrown from tholr bods, Peoplo rushed from tholr houses, think ing it an earthquake, but tho ringing of tho flro bolls ami tho shrieking of tho big mlnowhlstlo told tho story. Crowds of pooplo gathered about tho mouth of tho shaft and numbered thousands by day break. Stalwart mon stood appallod, and frantlo womon who had husbands or sons in tho doomed mino wailed In desnalr. One mothor cried out that sho had two sons bolow. Another was tho wlfo or widow of somo unfortunate, and had niuo helploss children at homo. Many knolt on tho ground, nnd in voices broken with sobs Implored divine Providonco to re store tholr loved ones nil vo. When It was given out that thero was Uttlo or no hopo of rescuing the mon allvo women nnd girls fainted, and woro homo away sonsoloss. Young Shorldan.tho water boy, who had such a narrow oscapo, tolls n thrilling tnlo of tho dlsnBtor. Ho thinks thoro was an explosion of gas, which blew down tho newly roctod tlmljors and cnusod tho cavelu. When hp left th,o ;nlno, tojro out tho slopo to get water thos'o lnsldb had no apprehension of a fnll or a "squeezo." Everything was working nicely, nnd tho men expected to bo out of tho mlno within another hour. "Tho report of tho fall," says tho boy, was llko a hundred cannon, and tho force of It blow mo fully twcnty-flvo feet. I was hurlod against tho sido of tho slopo. A pleco of rock hit me back of tho head, tho wound commenced to bleed and I fainted." Richards nnd GUI, who woro on their Way out aftor tlmbor, concur with Sheri dan that tho concussion was tcrrlllo. They were knockod off their feet nnd banged against some brattlco work, Thoy cannot toncelvo tlio possibility of anybody being in tho wreck and escaping with his life.

Policemen John Stanton aud Thomas Leo bear ovidonccs of n hard fight witli drunken Poles and Lithuanians on South Main street Saturday night aud will carry marks of tlio affray for tlio halanco of their days.

Ho has a gash on tlio back of his head that extends from tho top to tlio base of tho skull, tho scalp having been laid wide open by a pleco of rock thrown by one of tlio drunken crowd. Ills body is also very much bruised. Ho was attended by Dr. D. J. Langton. Not withstanding tho injuries Stanton reported for duty last night and patrolled his beat with his head bandaged. Leo sustained several cuts and bruises about tlio eyes, fore head and temples, a deep cut on ono of his knee-i and many bruises on tho body, but he, too, was on duty last night. Shortly after 10 o'clock Saturday night Stanton walked down Main street and found a crowd of Poles and Lithuanians wrangling on tho sidewalk. Ho ordored them to dis perse All but ono seemed inclined to obey and after fruitless attempts to pacify that ono ho placed him under arrest. The others then crowded nbout tho policeman.

Tlio prisoner was rescued nnd Stanton retired to get as- sistanco, Ho returned accompanied by Policemen Tosh, Lee, i-oltz, Goodman, Con Btablo Giblon nnd Specials Jones and Alox. Tho Poles nnd Lithuanians wero traced to a houso on South 1'oar alley and there Stanton Identified his assailants, but as they wero about to bo taken out they resisted and their friends again attacked tlio police. Leo grappled witli a brawny fellow and it was a desperate struggle. Each had hold of tho other's throat, Lee trying to get his prisoner down stairs. At tliia point a thrown beer glass struck tho officer full in tlio face, Inflicting n gash above his right eye from which blood actually streamed. Leo and his prisoner went tumbling down tho btairway, locked in each other's embrace, tho policeman lauding on top of his man at the bottom and ultimately foicing hiin out of tho houso and to tlio lockup. In tlio meantime, the other officers succeeded in getting their- prisoners out of tho placo and yesterday morning Georgo Antonowicz, .Too liozlefski, John Goodleski, Ihppolyto Koylessa and Anthony Kioskl were arraigned before Justico Toomey, charged with assault and battery and interference with otllcws. liicli was required to furnish 300 bail.

After 11 o'clock Saturday night tho rowdy clement of tho Polish, Lithuanian mid Hun gariau classes seemed to grew wild and Justico Toomcy's docket up to last night showed 22 casts. Ono of these cases was that of Charles Butskawicz. It appears that ono Joo Gusti- tis was passing William Snyder's saloon on East Centra street when threo men stopped and evidently intended to abuse him Ho tried to run into the saloon and was stabbed in the back. Ho turned and kicked Butskawicz under tho chin, claiming ho was tlio man who stabbed him. Policemen Tosli, Leo and Goodman hurried to tlio scene and Lee chased ono of tho crowd into Snyder's saloon and caught him. Louis Matnlawicz, Snyder's bartender, then interfered aud succeeded in getting tho prlsouer fieo.
