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. J., is under arrest
at Boston for alleged forgery committed
while in chargo of the Coonville flock. It
is stated that bis forgeries amount to near
4y $7,000.
