8 THE TIMES, NEW BL00MFIEL1), PA;. MAY C. 1879. A Marvelous Rescue. Wn.KKRBARnK, I'a., April 28. The en. tombed minors at Sugar Notch were res cued st eight o'clock this morning. , Yesterday the rescuing party succeeded to drilling a hole through to the lower part of the mine, thus showing that It wss only necessary to drive a few feet further to effect an opening into the gangway. Work was then necessarily performed slowly and .carefully, as there were Indications of fire .damp, which necessitated the driving and .cutting of the coal with the pick alone. The opening was effected at eight o'olock, and Mine Superiuteudent Smith was the ilrst to enter. He found a portion of the men cooking a breakfast of mule steaks, taken from the mule which the boy who 'was sent to warn tbem of the impending disaster had fortunately taken with him, tid which was killed on the second day of their confinement. The balance of the party was engaged in changing the direction of an air course. Very little was said, and the entire party used all possible dispatch in getting out of the mine, reaching the surface shortly alter D o'clock. The crowd that had assembled .cheered the rettcued men and their plucky . deliverers. The men were then sent to their homes. ' They state that during Saturday aud Bun . day tbey could hear the rescuing party firing blasts, and when the blasting ceased they believed that the work bad been stopped, and that tbey wore abandoned to ikeic fate. They also say tbey could have subsisted at least two weeks longer, bad it been necessary, upon their supply of jerked mule meat. Too much praise cannot be awarded to the brave men who accomplished the great work of driving and timbering a passage way of 1,200 feet through rock, slate and coal in the space of four days and nights ; to the bosses directing the work and to the engineering skill displayed in locating and directing the openings. The men when released had been con Xiiidi five and a half days. They stood the . long confinement very well. The boy, upon reaching the surface, leaped over the enelosui-e at the mouth of the opening and -jan rapidly homeward. The following are the names of the miners who survived this remarkable catas trophe : William Hawkins, Edward Trice, 'Patrick Green, Jobu Green, Barney Riley, -John Clark, door boy, aud William M'lvin aey, driver boy. The mine in which tbey were imprisoned was leased by the Central .Railroad of Now Jersey, and was operated by the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre coal com tpatjjr, of which Charles Parish is president. It is known as No. 10 slope, aud is situated at Sugar Notch, about three miles from Wilkesbarre. It has been known among the miners of the region as a very danger ous place by reason of the insecure roof. Gas has also been known to accumulate in certain sections of the mine in great quan tities. But one vein is being worked, which crops out on the hillside, but which bends downward in the form of a basin. It was at the bottom of the basin, 1,200 feet below the surface of the earth, that a new gangway was projected, and the men were employed night and day in pushing it to completion in order to open up new breasts and chambers. It was something like a mile from the foot of the slope, but a large fan, driven by a powerful engine, dissipated the gases, and reduced the dan ger from this source to a minimum. But for several days proceeding the disaster there were marked iudications of danger from another source. Creaking sounds were beard through the abandoned cham bers, the pillars cracked and bulged out and there were other warnings that should fcave been heeded. At 11 P. M, on Tues day, the men entered the mine to work out the night shift beginning at that time. A few moments after three o'clock four men who were coming out of the mine found about a car load of coal in their path. Tbey notified the two boys, who started at once to warn the five men at work at the bead of the gangway, half mile distant. A few moments after the boys started, came a fall of rock, which effectually shut in the whole party of seven. A large force of men were at once put to work sinking three different pas sages to strike the gangway. Tbey have worked day and night since, the hope of reaching and rescuing alive the Imprisoned miners becoming fainter with each hour's delay. The belief that there was at least four feet of water in the gangway in which the miners were imprisoned tended to in .crease the anxiety in their behalf, but the pumps were kept steadily at work and the danger from this source thus steadily diminished. WiLKEBiiAiiliE, Pa., April 28. One hundred dollars was presented to each of tue rescued miners to-day by the stock boldets of the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre 'Oul company through President Charles 4'arUu. A concert for the benefit of the aiien will be given at music ball to-morrow, Charles Hawkins, one of the number will Telate the story of their captivity. The total reoeipts will be given to them, as all expenses have been paid. dfliev, Geo. Bowers, who for six years baa been pastor of the Congregational Church of Coonvillo, N.
