Death or Asphyxiated the Unfortunates,.
Who EUked Their Lives for Bread
Could Not Escape Drowning. : .
WiLKr.snAnnn, Pa., Juno no. It" Is al
most a settled fact that of tho small army
of men which entered tho HI fated Twin
shaft at Plttston on Saturday night not
ono survives. Not only is every approach
10 tncir uarK lomo unrricnueu cnormouj
masses of rock and debris, but it Is know
that in tho mino thero Is a largo quantity
of water, which is increasing In volume,
with every mlnuto. Thus tho ehancoi of
recovering tholr bodies nro moro remoto
than over.
Tho slopo is choked up to tho shaft with
debris, and tho efforts of tho gang of res
cuers nro confined to keeping tho shaft
clear. Tho work of making another open
ing In order to reach tho entombed men
began in earnest yesterday by tho making
of a bore holo near tho Clear Spring col
liery, which adjoins tho Twin shaft. After
renchlng below the surface work was be
gun In driving a holo with n diamond
drill from tho Clear Spring to tho foot of
the slopo whero tho men aro supposed to
be under tho fall. This holo is to bo driven
diagonally for 120 feet. It is an ospbrt
ment to learn whether thero Is gasor
water below, with a view of ascertaining
tho feasibility of driving an airway fromt
wear .spring to tno lootot tno siopoj :xno
drill will go through apillarof coal eighty
feet thick, but as It will pass through'dl
agonally It will bo necessary to'ilrlll
through nbout 120 feet. PBK-
Prominent officials say that affSthls
nlrway has reached tho point referred to,
weeks or months may bo consumed In
clearing away tho fallen coal In ordor to
reach tho bodies of tho victims. A mino
superintendent of thirty-llvo years' ex
perience thinks thounfortunatomon have
met tho ramo fate that befell tho twenty'
six minors who perished lruNo. 3 slopo of
the Susquehanna Coal company In De
cember, 18S5. Tho so mqri'Avcro caught In
a "rush" of culm nndjwator., from tho sur
face Their bodies 'wero.f'buricd under n
mountain of coal refuse' Three bundrod
men labored for more than two weoks to
rcsouo them, but thom6ra debris they
took out tho mororushedn from tho sur
face opening. As thefcisktovrns a hopeless
ono, It was finally abffnoBnon find tho por.
Hon of the mino whero TJ$ men died was
closed up. A wooden jnbnniiicnt now
marks tho spot, on tho mountain of coal
dirt, under which Ho tho remains of tho
twenty-six victims.
Tho supposition that thero la water in
tho Twin shaft is well founded. Iioth tho
Lackawanna and Susquehanna rivqrgrun
in close proximity to tho shaft, and from
tho surface to the point whareMhO rook
begins thero Is nt least river fyfenj-to the
depth of 110 feot. From this brilijt ilown
to tho bottom, or tho level, whsrif the mrm
nro, thero was. previous to tiu,f(j)l, SS0
feot of rock. When the fall occurred tho
2S0 feet of rock mentioned must havo
been shattered, allowing the wntqr'tn'pour
into mo mino in large quantities. ;xn.Q;nai
ural consequence of this is that If the men
did not loso their lives under tho jliiiga, of
rock they must havo died by drowiliigjlf

Mine Inspector Hugh McDonald has Is
sued tho following statement:
"So far as my knowledge of tho work
lugs of tho mine goes and tho manner in
which tho work was conducted, I do not
believe tho accident was due to any crim
inal carelessness, but I cannot say defi
nitely that It was not until I mnke a thor
ough I nvesti gatlon. This cannot bo dono un
til wellndthoniunorabandon tho mine."
In an interview tho mine inspector said:
"I mado an examination of tbu Twin shaft
nbout amouthago. At that time I found
tho initio apparently safe. Tho olllcials
gavo mo no intimation that it was other
wise. I regret very much that I was not
Informed on Thursday or Friday ojjjtho
great danger. Had I been so Informed!!
bollevo now there would havo boon noTHii
of life. You can say that all hopo of. re
covering tho men alive has been aban
doned, and it looks as If it was going to bo
dilllcult to recover tho bodies.
"In all my oxporlonce In tho mlnflB I
havo never known of a case whore unftn
took such n foolhardy risk as In th
Tho rulo Is to work from a place of
toward tho danger, and cover tho rebJMt.
In this enso It Is evident the men went di
rectly to tho grootost point of danger and
attempted to hold up tho roof that would
soonost come down.
It has developed that thero was
trouble in getting men to go Into th'
last wouk. Two remarkable iustnui

Kan and Insldo Foreman Lynutt wen
the mino on Saturday afternoon to wi
Their duties wore to assist the tlinbenni
Thoy became afraid, nnd told their fathers
they were going to quit. A quarrel ensued,
but tho boys were determined and went
out of the mine. Their resolution saved
tholr lives.
John Hughes, a brother of Michael
Hughes, who is in the mine, saved hlslifo
in tho sumo way. Ho hoard the rumbling
Jiolse made by the "squeeze," and told his
brother ho would not remain in tho rottou
mino a mlnuto longor. Ho tried to per
suado Michael to accompany him, but the
latter said: "Xo, John, I won't go; your
mother noods all wo can earn : you had
bettor remain hero." lJut John would not
stay.
It Is feared that Mrs. Wall, whoso hus
band and two brothors are In tho mino,
has lost her mind permanently.
There aro surface Indications that tho
slope and main gangways of tho mine aru
packed tight with falling coal and rook.
In other words, Into "falls" havo com

ways of tho mine to tho relief 'of ' the
Widows mid orphans of the victims. Uohi
tlvos of tho entombed men oppose this
proposition.
Tho company, however, lias given no
hint of abandoning tho work of roseuo.
Should it tuko such n step, It will hnvo tho
law on its sido. In Itfcn tho relatives of tho
twonty-slx men who were entombed in tho
NnutlcoTio mine brought suits against tho
company for neglect mid fnlluro to prose
cute tho search for tho bodies of tho dead.
Tho supremo court decided, when tho
ensofl reached It. that tho company had
'done nil that any human agency could do
to recover tho bodies, and that it could not
do tho Impossible. Tho suits for damages
Wore, therefore, dismissed.

Events on the Course A Bi
cyclist's Narrow Escape.
Tho events at the Trotting park last even
ing showed that, although the once famous
grounds have been allowed to fall Into decay
and baso ball has becomo a lost pastime
within its limits, the town still hascomidem
ablo sporting blood left in it and with proper
nursing can be brought to tho front again.
I ully 1,000 pcoplo were present to witness
tho test of speed between F. J. Brcnnau's
ictor" and John Simmon's Kate" and
tho manner in which the crowd exulted dur
ing and after the raeo reminded one of tho
days when people from tho surrounding
towns flocked to tho paik and mado the hills
ling with enthusiasm.
Neither llrcnuan nor Simmons claim world
records for their steeds, but considerable in
terest was aroused in the raco on account of
tho personal prido tho men exhibit in their
respective pieces of Iiorscllesh and it was on
this prido alone that each staked $30.
Brcnnau's horso went to tho pole iu fino
trim with Mike Keefe holding tho reins. Tho
driver winked knowingly as ho passed the
crowd in giving ictor ' a warm up and the
moro lie winked tho greater became the con
fidence of Brcnnan's friends, as Keefe is said
to know about ns much concerning Iiorscllesh
ns almost anyono in this region. Charley
New handled "Kate's" reins and was equally
confident. Odds of 20 to 10 were olfercd by
the Simmons pcoplo before the start, but the
takers were few. It is said New managed to
get out $100 beforo ho took his scat behind
the mare.
Tho couditisns of tho race were best two in
three heats. P. J. Mulhollaiid was the
starter and George W. Bcddall judge. Tho
horses went oil' for tho first heat amid
deafening shouts from tho admirers on both
sides and "Kato" camo home in 3:03 in a
form that almost set tho Yatesvillo sports
crazy with delight. The Bicnnanites wero
not dismayed, but exceedingly hopeful and
gavo "Victor" another great cheer as ho
left tho post for the second heat, but "Victor"
was liko many presidential candidates.
Tho ambition and pluck was In stock, but
tho get-there was missing and "Kato" won
tho heat and raco iu 3:07. Sho was cheered
lustily ns she left tho track.
When the enthusiasm subsided Dr. Long
acre, of town, nnil Dr. Fetlieiolf, of Maha
noy City, put their horses on tho track for a
milo trial and mado it in 2:13. Dr. Long
acre's horso is a trotter and Dr. l-'ctherolf's
"Little Willie" figures as a paier.
Seeral wheelmen from Mahanoy City who
nro training for races took possession of tho
track after tho races and many of them gavo
interesting exhibitions of speed. A bicyclist
of town had a narrow escapo from serious
injury on tho track. He barely avoided a
collision with a team driven hy William
Neiswender and went over the embankment.
Tho wheel was considerably damaged, but
tho rider was unhurt.
