The Last Five of the J eanesville
' Victims Found Alive.

If One of Their Number Had Died the
Others “Tould Have Feasted on His
Flesh, but the Oil in Their Lamps
and the Bats One of Them Killed
and They All Ate Kept Body and
Soul Together .Till the Work of Res-

cue “’as Coniplete—The Story of the

Disaster and How the Victims Who

Died Met Their Deaths.

HAZLETox, Pa, Feb. 25.-A11 of the vic-

tims of the J eanesville mine horror have
now been accounted for. On the morning
of Feb. 4, while Charles Boyle and Patrick
Call were engaged in drilling a hole in
their breast in the lower lift of No. 1 slope
of J. C. Haydon & Co.’s mine, they broke
into the old No. S slope that had been
abandoned for three years and had been
flooded to the mouth with water. The
water rushed in with such rapidity that
no attempt could be made to warn or res-
cue the unfortunate men working up in
their breasts. It rose so rapidly that in
five minutes’ time the slope, which is 6%
feet deep, was filled to the mouth-
The Dead Taken Out.

Eighteen men were caught in the mine;
six escaped. During the past week a.
number of the bodies of the victims of the
flood have been found.

The body of Edward Gallagher was the
first body found. It was remarkably well
preserved, and there were no marks or
scratches upon it. He was certainly
drowned.

The body of Patrick Kelly was found in
the face of his breast, and there were signs
to indicate that he had been under water,
although his body was in a good state of
preservation, which possibly admits of
the theory of being overcome by “black
damp.”

The body of James \Vard showed evi-
dence Of having been submerged, and that
possibly he met death by drowning.

Jake Misto, a Hungarian laborer, and
Samuel Porter were found on Saturday,
and the evidence in their cases does not
argue drowning either. Misto was much
emaciated when found, but decomposition
had made no sign upon him. His eyes
were sunken back in their sockets, and the
skin of his face was drawn tightly over
the facial bones, and he presented almost
unmistakable evidence of having been
starved. Samuel Porter was found in
Boyle‘s breast standing on his head in the
manway. He had his coat, shoes and
stockings off, as though he had been goad-
ed by despair in his last moments to make
an effort for life by trying to swim out,
but was caught in the timbers.

The Cold Hand of Death.

The body of Lawrence Reed, as also did
those of Henry Ball, Mike Smith and
James Bullock, which were found in No. 9
brcast of east gangway, bore unmistakable
evidence of death by some means other
than drowning, possibly by suffocation,
for from the arrangement of the rudely
constructed but and its surroundings and
the chalk marks on it, it is certain the un—
fortunate men lived for some time in the
vain hope of rescue from the outside
world.

The food in the dinner pails, which, with
spare rations, would have lasted fonr‘or
five days, was all eaten, and the men were
living on drops of sulphur water. The
damp, cold air coming fro n the water be-
low in the breast chilled their rapidly
weakening bodies, and not realizing what
they did they lit a fire to keep off what
they supposed was the chill of the water,
but what was in reality the cold hand of
death.

The fire in a short time vitiatcd the air
in their low cell, which was only 4 feet
high and 70 by 30 feet in dimensions, and
when all the life giving principle was con-
sumed by the fire and the air was thor-
oughly laden with sulphur it died out,
and with it fled the spirits of the brave and
hopeful men. Bullock’s body was found
on the path from the water’s edge, with
his coffee bottle by his side, making a last
vain effort to stay the pangs of hunger and
despair of himself and comrades with a lit-
tle water.

Of the nine men found Monday four
were dead—James Griffith, Barney Mc—
Closkey, Basko Frinko and the unknown
Hungarian. The bodies of the two Hun—
garians were floating on top of the water,
and those of Griffith and Barney McClos-
key were free from water or debris.

Rescued Alive.

John Tomaskusky, Joe Mastuscowicz.
John Berno, Bosco Frinko and an un—
known Hungarian were alive when found.
Hunger, thirst and the agony of desola-
tion and despair have wrought their terri-
ble work upon each, and‘al’l lie today in
the shadow of death but surrounded by all
the comforts that loving‘hands can give
them or that they can appreciate in their
present weak condition.

Long ago the unfortunates in the mine I

at the time of the deadly flood from the
old workings were given up for lost, but

the search was patiently: continued, and _
' entertained of his recovery. He is 66years

when on Monday night, a knocking was
heard by the party searching for bodies it
sounded almost supernatural.

It was 9 o’clock that the first sounds I

were heard, and desperate efforts were
made to reach the imprisoned men before
the flickering flame of life-should die out
entirely. The presence of the deadly black
damp compelled caution, and several hours
elapsed before the unfortunates were
reached.
Too “’cak to llIovc.

The men were found in a small chamber, ?

scarcely 10 by 6 feet, in one of the galleries
of the mine, and lay all huddled together,
too weak to move. Careful examination
revealed the fact that all were alive, weak-
ened, of course, by the awful torture of
hunger and thirst, but still alive.
were so weak that, with but one exception,
they could not be:m'oved. Joseph Mastus—
cowitz’s excellent strength left him in bet-
ter shape than any of the rest, and he was
able to be moved to the bottom of the slope
of the first lift into the enginb house. Dr.
Doolittle, of the village, was summoned,
and entered the mine.
Their Sufl‘erings from Hunger.

‘ A large stock of blankets were secured,
and the men were wrapped in them. Mas-

 

They

tuscowilz was just strong ctr“: ;;l'. to raise
his head and able to look urn-HI l.- lie was
carefully carried to the engine house and
medical aid given him there. \Vhen
spoken to he raised his eyes mournfully, a

look of deep- despair passed over his face,

and he muttered, “John much sick.” The

condition of the other men makes it impos— .
sible to remove them for several days..

Careful nursing will be given them, and
every effort put forth to save their lives
so that their terrible tale maybe heard.
The Rev. J. J. Commisky, of‘ Hazleton,_
was summoned and visited the men down

the slope and administered the spiritual‘

comfort.

Superintendent McFarlane was so busy
caring for the men that no story of the
finding of the unfortunate men could be
had from‘hi'm. He said: “Their story will
be gladly given later if you only give us
time now to make use of the means that a
generous Providence has placed at our diss
posal to bring the men mound again to
life. They have suffered terribly from the
pangs of hunger, and nothing but their
hard constitutions, common to their race,
saved them. The contents of their dinner
pails kept them alive for six days. Then
they lived on the oil from their lamps and
bottles. After that was exhausted they
drank the dark, sulphurous water. “'hat-
ever the temptation may have been to kill
and eat each other it was not strong
enough to tempt these sturdy sons of Hun-
gary to become man eaters.” '

A Horrible Story.

Mastuscowitz by the aid ofan interpreter
was interviewed by a United Press re-
porter. He said: “I never gave up hope
but that we all would be rescued alive, al-
though my companions did. They recalled
similar disasters in which men perished.
I said, ‘l.et us pray to God: he will help us,’
and so he did.

“For the first eight days we lived on the
contents of our dinner pails. \Ve had
them pretty well filled with pork, bread
and cheese. The first day I said, ‘Now, as
there is hope of being rescued, we will
ration our food.’ It was agreed, and we
got together in the corner of the breast.
The cold was intense. \Ve had to keep
crowded and hug each other to keep warm.
At first we could not drink the sulphur
water, but necessity compelled us, and in
the course of time we liked it.

“On the 9th day our last food was gone.
We were surrounded by water and debris.
I thought I would go on a little exploring
expedition. I was mighty lucky. I found
a dinner pail. There was not much in it,
but what there was we lived on for two
days. Then I was almost too weak to go
on foraging expeditions.

Killed Rats and Ate Them.

“As a last resort we had to kill the rats,
and they, like ourselves, were half starved
and desperate. They would attack us
boldly, and-we had to fight them off. I
killed three or four a day. W’e had no
hesitancy in eating their legs. It was good
food. lVe would certainly have starved
had we not had the rats to eat. We resolved
to die together rather than eat each other.”

Dr. Doolittle says the men will all re-_

cova' their usual health.

The announcement of the finding of the
men was kept as quiet as possible, but not-
withstanding this precaution the mouth
of the slope was surrounded by hundreds
of excited people.

Says It's All 8. Mistake.

MHMHIIs, Tenn, Feb. 25.—then the
steamer U. P. Schenck arrived here from
New Orleans, oflicers arrested a passenger
traveling under the name of Charles T.
Smith on a telegram from the chief of
police at New Orleans saying Smith had
passed a forged check on the St. Charles
hotel. In his valise was found a number
of checks for amounts ranging from .350 to
$4,000, drawn on the Chemical bank and
Lincoln National bank of New York, and
State National bank of Cleveland, 0.
Smith claimed that there is some mistake
about the New Orleans check, but he will
make it all right. He claims to be a news-
paper man, and says he was formerly edit-
or of The New York Times.

There’ll Be DIore Bloodshed.

BUFFALO, Feb. 25.—Coroner Kenney was
called to the bedside of Sebastiano Pecci,
an Italian, who was brutally beaten by
three of his countrymen a week ago. Last
evening Pecci died. An investigation
elicited the fact that Pecci had been set
upon and beaten by the three Italians who
have disappeared. Pecci’s brother visited
his remains last night. He was overcome
by grief. Then raising himself he began,
in a harsh, discordant voice, the slow,
measured chant of the vengeance of Mafia.
He then left the house. An inquest will
be held. —

Mary Anderson’s Mad Lover Sen-
' lcnccd- for ‘His' Crime.

SENT TO PRISON FOR LIFE.

To Atone in Sing Sing for the Murder of
Dr. Lloyd—He Criticlses His Sen-

as an Outrage.

 

 

BROOKLYN, Feb. 25.—James M. Dough-
erty, Mary Anderson’s mad lover, was sen-
tenced by Justice Bartlett Tuesday morn-
ing to life imprisonment in state prison at
Sing Sing for the .
murder of llr.
Lloyd in the Flat—
bush Insam- asy~

m on t, reviewing :5
the history of his
life, the wonderful
scientific discov—
eries he declares he
has made. the in—
cidents attending
his trial and many circumstances relating
to his infatuation for Mary Anderson. He
criticised very sharply his keepers at the
Flatbush Insane asylum.

“To be sent to an insane asylum to re-
main until I am cured,” said he, “and then
to be committed to a state prison for the
remainder of my days for a crime which
the doctors say that I committed while I
was crazy is an outrage. If I were insane
when I shot Dr. Lloyd the law holds that
I am guiltless of murder, and therefore
sentence ought to be suspended upon me.
On the other hand, if I were sane at the
time, then I am guilty of murder in the
first degree.”

Allowed llIuch Latitude.

Dongherty declared that he was unable
to procure any of the witnesses at his trial
owing to the fact that he was in prison. If
a new trial had been granted him he could
now get these witnesses and prove that
many of his alleged hallucinations are
founded upon facts.

Judge Bartlett listened to him patiently
and allowed him much latitude. When
he had concluded Lawyer Backus, Dough-
erty‘s counsel, moved to suspend the judg-
ment of the court until the prisoner be-
comes sane. lle asked that Dougherty be
committed by the sheriff to the State Lu-
natic asylum.

These requests were denied by the court.
Thercnpon Judge Bartlett defined the law
as relating to criminal lunatics. In con-
clusion, he said that it was perfectly man-
ifest to him that Dougherty understood
the proceedings at his trial and defended
himself.

“\Vhen,.however, he was arraigned be-

said the judge, “he conducted himself in
such a strange manner and spoke so in-
coherently that in order to remove all
doubt I appointed a commission of able
physicians to inquire into his sanity;
’l‘heir report was that. he is not insane to
the extent that the law prescribes.”

the front. .

“The sentence of the court is,” said
Judge Bartlett, “that you be imprisoned
for your natural life in state prison at
Sing Sing. ”

Lawyer Backus moved for a stay of exe-
cution, and it was promptly denied.

l.‘hcn Dougherty was about to speak
when the judge directed that court be ad-
journed. Big handcufis were then put
upon Dougherty’s wrists and he was taken
back to jail.

Lawyer Backus intimated that he would
make another attempt to get a stay of
judgment.

The Spring Hill Mine Horror.

HALIFAX, N. 8., Feb. 25.—There are some
changes in the list of the killed in the
Spring Hill disaster. Erastus Hayman
has been found alive, and Clifford Pipley,
whose name was not before reported, is
dead. The body of John Gillis, of J ames-
ville, Victoria county, was found yesterday
afternoon. He was not mentioned in the
published list of the killed. The ‘work of
rescuing bodies continues with as much
vigor as the great difficulties in the way
permit. Twelve bodies were recovered yes-
terday, making the total number brought
up thus far 106. This leaves about sixteen
still buried under the debris, and these are
not likely to be recovered for several days.

Young Buddens’ieck Killed.

RAIIWAY, N. J ., Feb. 25.——Arthur Bud-
densieck, the 11-year—old son of the well
known New York builder of “Budden—
sieck” houses, has met an awful death
near here. The boy was playing with sev-
eral companions in the barn of the farm,
which is about a mile from Hackensack,
when he fell through a hatchway and was
instantly killed. Charles A. Buddensieck,

years’ imprisonment in Sing Sing. He has
been notified of the sad event and may be
permitted to attend the funeral.

buried on his farm to get rid of them.

French Artists Object.

PARIS, Feb. 25.—Interviews with leading
French artists show a general opposition
to the proposal to take part in the exhibi-
