DEATH SBEMBD IMMINEN T.
A Yawning Chasm One Hundred Foot
Deep Disclosed to View When the
Coal Began to Run—('iimbed
Hand Over Hand to Safety.
HAMOKIN, Pm, Sept. 28.—For eight
hghrs sixteen men were imprisoned in an
old chamber in the Hickory Ridge coal
mine, not knowing what second they
Would be crushed to death. They were
Carsop De Long, Zach Hann, Frank Walt
irofi, Daniel Oyster and a dozen Hun gar-
ia' ts and Italians. When they entered the
,me at 7 o’clock in the morning Inside
Eoreman William Reinhardt directed the
If on to rob pillars. This is considered the
egg dangerous of inside work. A pillar
lvides one breast or chamber from an-
other, and after all the ml is taken from
the chamber the pillar is removed.
A chain pillar divides the leVels. At the
Ridge the men were working on the first
level and 100 feet of rock and coal lay
between it and the second lift, which had
been well worked out.
A Peculiar Sensation.
An hour after the first pick had been
sunk into the coal the miners experienced
a tingling sensation in their ieet. It was as
though a bunch of needles had been thrust
auto the soles of their feet. They grew
izzy. The botto of the gangway was
cracking in hunglr'cds of places, while
hrough the fissures came blasts of air and
irt. A violent swaying then ensue ,
minglfd with a sudden rear and crunching
of 008., . Then came a succes. ion of reports
like an artillery battery in a tion.
Sounding an Alarm.
“Boys,” shrieked Hann, “the chain filler
must be running, and if we don’t get out
of here it means death.”
A rhs was made for the closet chamber.
Waltho was in the rear and was lifted to
the lodge in so. ,ty just as the bottom of
the place they ed left dropped and re-
vealed a yawning chasm 100 feet deep and
ninety feet wide. When the pillar began
to disappear the men on the lower level
escaped.
Their Perilous Position.
The imprisoned men were surrounded
on all sides by falling coal. They went up
the chamber as far as possible and had a
conference. They found that there was
no possible way of exit other than by the
way they had entered. But there was an
impassable chasm between them and it.
Suddenly they heard voices.
“Are you alive?” cried Foreman Rein-
hardt, who with Tom Llewellyn and David
Williams, had gained the entrance of the
angway as soon as the rush occurred.
The rescuing party were overjoyed on
learning that the men were safe.
The Rescue.
How to get the miners across the abyss
was next in order. A rope was procured,
and for four hours Reinhardt and his men
tried to cast an end across. Sometimes it
would land on a treacherous ledge almost
within reach, and then it would go whistl-
ing down in darkness and dust.
Once it fell on a rock which seemed solid,
but as Dan Oyster was about to seize it
the rOck and rope went down. The men
then grew timid and glanced into each
other’s faces with fear. They were al-
most without oil and had only what was
in their cans. Was it to be a second
J eansville horror, and yet within shouting
distance of rescuers?
At Last Hope Downed.
These gloomy meditations ' were cut:.
short by 3% whirling noise and the crack'of
abOIt‘. ~The'1'):I‘v‘fy‘ed”for rope had fallen at
their feet. ' ' . ' -'
' “ asten your end of the rope to a
timber,” they heard a vOice cry, “and we
wi 1 do the same.”
nce securely tied about a post, the men
consulted as to who would make the at-
tempt to cross the chasm hand over hand
suspended from the 'rope. It was a peril-
ous undertaking, but as the way led to
liberty it did not take long for Carson De
Lon to make up his mind to try it. Bid-
ding his comrades goodby the intrepid fel-
low flimg himself into space and went
hand over hand.
Landed Safely.
The rope cracked and swayed. Several
times he thought he would fall, but with
strained muscles and stout heart De Long
went on and on and at last was safe. The
others followed, and when the last had
crossed they first wept like children and
then cheered loud and long. When they
were hoisted to the surface 2,000 persons
cheered and danced with joy.
_ Supposed Suicide.

Munson, a married man about sixty-five
