Wrumumunr, In, May ids—TVI‘euIy- eight miners are entombed in Baltimore shalt, No. «i, st Ashley, sud thorn is little hope of their mus. The wine in an old one, and the worklugx are in s more or less dilapidated condition. This fact makes the work of rescue very difficult. The imprison merit of the unfortunate men is due to a big cavedn of the suriaca over the mine which occurred yesterday. The cave-in covers an sreaol one square mile, and is one of the most disastrous that ever oo- currod in the coal regions. It Came \b‘lthout Warning. The crash come without any warning whatever. This is something unusual,too, as generally there is a quaking and quiver- ing of the earth before it settles. The first intimation of danger was when two houses were seen to sink out of sight. They went down about ten feet and were totally wrecked. The dwollings were occupied by Polanders. Two women and a little girl wens quite seriously injured. The noise made by the house toppling over attracted a large crowd. Thirty Not Eight In the line. A number of men ran to the slope and attempted to enter the mine, but they could not. The main passage was blocked and there was no way of reaching the men. The mine foreman said only eight men were working in that portion which had caved in, and that they had in all probabil- ity made their escape by way of the gang» way. The tire boss reported that there were thirty men in the mine, and not eight, as reported by the ioreman. The super-in tendent of the Iabigh and Wilkeabarro Coal company was telegraphed for and he arrived promptly. A conference of expert miners was then held and it was first de- termined to make an attempt to enter the slope. Twelve men were scared for the hazardous tank, but they were unable to proceed any distance through the mine. The cavein had wrecked all the inside workings, and in some places the root was down for hundreds of feet. To clear this debris away would take weeks, which would preclude all hope of getting tho men out alive. Three Men Rescued. It was then resolved to sink or bore holes in the surface directly over some abandoned workings, enter these workings, and then trace to the place where the men were at work. This whole distance is about 300 yards. Ail? o'clock last evening the rescu- ers broke their way through the surface and reached the abandoned workings. Five men entered and traveled along some distance. They beard groans. Stoopiug down they found three men lying prostrate on the ground. They picked them up and carried them to the surface. When the rescuing party with the three men came in sight a mighty cheer went up. The men rescued were John Allen, Robert Roberts and An- thony Frail. They were badly burned. Bob- er-ts is the least injured He says when the cave—in came the men all threw down their tools and made fortho main gsngways. They found that itwas blocked with debris. Some of the men then fainted and sunk to the ground. Otherlgot down on their knees and prayed for de- liverance. Roberts, Frail and Allen clung together. They rummngcd around the abandoned workings all the afternoon ~When the carved!) occurred there was a slig t explosion in one of the breasts which b ed the three men. Roberts says there are at least nineteen other menin the mine and that they are scattered everywhere The air is bad, and unless the other men are reached within the next ten hours they must perish. The rescuers are now scour- ing the workings. The Names 01 the Imprisoned less. The names of the men imprisoned are: John Hanson, Michael Scally, John Scafly, Michael Henry. Charles James, Frank Gallagher, Harry Jones, Ellis Will- iams, Owen Williams, Daniel Sullivan. Thomas Williams, John Penning, Anthony Frail, Harry Parry, Owen Parry, Thomas Clause, John James, Michael Llnskl, John Hall, Luke Gilgnllon, James Davis and tour Hungarians, the name of twoot whom is Guns Scenes of Horrible Interest.

In their ssgornus they would have passed right on among the workers, audio keepthsm backsropewssstrotchsd around the spot and s corps or men placed to hold back the crowd. Among that gathering were wornm whose husbands and sons were enwmhsd in the dark mine, children whose punts“ had probably not their deaths and 'youfig worsen whose sweethsuts sutombed.

They wore working in the uppsrlift of the Baltime vein. This vein was not dis- turbed. When the crash came the men. no doubt, made an attempt to get out o! the main gsngwny, only to find the pas- sageway blocked. They then minced their stops for the purpose of taking the man- way. This, too, was cut ofl'. They had nothing to do then but to sit down and await a rescuing party. It is believed that there is srl‘liicient air to keep the men alive, and it they can get a hold of a mule they can exist for a week or more.
