RESCUED ALIVE.
wilkesbarre, Pa, April 2S.-Great excitement
prevails here and there is feeling Of inexpress-
ible relief over the rescue of the seven imprisoned
miners, who for five days have been buried in
No. 10 slope. The men sustained life by the meat
Of mule which boy sent to give them warning
had fortunately taken with him, and stream
running through the mine gave them needful
water. Reliefs of laborers have been constantly
at work night and day, and finally these succeed
ed in making a channel through fifty foot
block Of coal, The men suffered little from their
confinement, and they and their rescuers were
loudly cheered as they reached the surface Of the
mine.
The scenes Of joy around the mouth of the pit
as the Door fellows were once more brought into
the light of day, can better be imagined than de-
scribed Many women tainted when the news
came from below that q rescue had been effected,
and the men were alive. Many of the rescued
are in a debilitsted condition, but with good
nursing all can be saved Thanksgiving services

BURIED UNDER A VEIN OF COAL.
The Almost Hopeless Efforts to Rescue the Miners
at Sugar Notch, Pa.


at Sugar Notch, Pa.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, April 25-At1 10 O'Clock, Wed.
nesdsy morning the men composing the night
shift In No 10 colliery of the Lehigh and Wilkes
barre Coal Company were warned by creaking
noises that the mine was about to fall In upon
them. John Clark, boy, was sent 10 the face Of
the east gangway, where Edward Price, Charles
Hawkins, James Green, Patrick Green, Barney
Riley and VIM. Kinney, were at work. to warn
them of the danger. All the persons in the mine
made their escape before the cave in occurred
with the exception Of the above named men and
the messenger who was sent to warn them. 1t is
hoped that they remained In the gangway, as
that is the safest place In the mine, owing to the
fact that no openings had been made out Of it.
The vein crops out at the surface, and 200 men
have been sinking hole from the surface to
strike the highest breast that has been worked
up hoping by these means to release the impris
oned men. The obstacles to be overcome in
nrogecuting the search are Of such nature as to
+ tard the progress of the work very materially.
At one time to- day the rescuing party were cut
off from communication with the surface by a
fall of Ere clay through which they were com
PEELED to cut their way TO secure air. 1t Is be-
Ueyed that the men have penetrated half way
through the vein of solid coal which interVenes
between them and the gangway in which the OBJ
iect of their search are supposed to be, but the
miners hold very diverse opinions as to the
amount of work yet TO be accomplished. At the
present rate of progress 1t is barely possible that
the imprisoned men will be reached by to'mor-
row morning. Detachments Of miners from the
Empire and Ashley mines have been detailed to
assist in prOsecuting the search. A respondent
feeling exists, and the general belief is that the
men are dead, either from falling fire clay,
black damp, or lack OF ar.

SOME OF THE OLD SETTLERS.

According to Professor Cope, of Phila-
delphia, this globe was at an early period
of its existence much better stocked
with material for a Geological garden
than it is at the present day. During
the past summer the Professor has been
ruralizing in California, and he has re-
Gently given the San Francisco acade
micians description of the fossil ami
mails. In comparison with these Antedi-
luvian monsters, the most outrageous sea
serpent as seen through the groggy eyes
of Nantucket whaler sinks into insig-
nifcance.
One of these monsters, whose maiden
name is given as Camarasaurus Su-
premus, is described as vertebrate some
what resembling a marine kangaroo in
build. The meek of this animal was nine
feet in diameter, its hind legs twenty
feet long, its spinal vertebra fifty-six
inches across, and its entire length, by
careful measurement, was found to be
seventy-two feet. The habits of the
monster are distinctly ascertained. 1t
could wade around in forty feet of water,
and, catching its prey in its fore paws,
dive at sea with as much ease and more
grace than Paul Boyton in his rubber
coffin.
The other monster brought to light by
Professor Cope is even a greater marvel of
the earlier creation. This one has spinal
column over six feet in diameter, and
hind legs forty feet long, and the entire
length of the old fellow was considerably
over one hundred feet. His carniverous
teeth in the upper and lower jaws worked
upon each other like shears, and he must
have made an excellent sausage machine
for our Darwinian ancestors. The bones
of the lower part of the frame are solid
and very heavy, to serve the purpose of
ballast in deep water, while those of the
upper half were constructed in honey
combed layers very light and buoyant, vut
nevertheless very strong and flexible.
Thus constructed the Amphicoelias
Fragilissimus (thus christened by his god
father) could keep his head above water
much better than modern Savings Bank

THE NOBLE ARMY OF TRAMPS.

The tramp question, that for several
years past has been vexing rural commu-
mites, legislators and village and city
corporations, had finally worked itself
into such shape that the Legislatures
of several States, notably New Hamp-
shire, New York and Pennsylvania,
thought themselves competent to grapple
with it, and very oppressive and strin-
gent laws were the consequence. Tramps
were pronounced frauds by the news
papers, with no rights that jibing para
graphers were bound to respect; they
were thieves and vagabonds and despera-
does, said the disgusted ruralist, and
ought not to be tolerated about the barns
and premises, nor treated to plate of
cold victuals however hungry or fatigued;
they are lazy shirks and wretches, added
the village authorities, innkeepers and
station-house custodians, where they but
too often were forced to come for lodg-
ings and so the poor tramp was cast
forth very Ishmael, whose hand was
against every man and every mans hand
was against him. And 10! the problem
is solved-the tramp has vanished, dis
appeared from the places where he
swarmed like the beggars of Naples or
the lice or locusts of Egypt, not by
reason of the oppressive legislation OBJ
tanned or threatened against him, but by
absorption into the industrial classes from
which he sprang at time when labor
went begging in the market-place for the
right to earn the wages that entitled it
to bread
The tramp, we do not by any means as
sert, is totally annihilated. There is
doubtless enough remaining still for seed,
but as dangerous or troublesome ele-
ment in society the tramp may be safely
declared eliminated. In New England,
where he produced the greatest tribula-
ton and anxiety, he has practically dis
appeared, and the Legislatures which had
enacted laws against him, really more
radically oppressive and unjust than any
others on the statute books, will no doubt
feel ashamed Of their unseemly violence,
now that the fact begins to appear that
tramps are men with all the feelings and
instincts of other members of the human
family; that they would not have gen.
orally been vagabonds without meal CT
victuals to satisfy their stomach's crav-
ings when hungry, or place other than
mother earth to lie upon when weary or
i'll, had they been possessed either of the
money to produce necessities, or friends
to offer them work sufficient to bring the
wherewithal to obtain them when de-
manded by the imperative calls of nature.
Business has revived, and men who have
hands and willing hearts may work. The
tramp is one no more, but producer like
the rest of us; therefore, when period
of distress shall sweep over our country
again like withering simoom, when men
go up and down the land vainly seeking
to sell the labor of their hands for the
necessaries of life, let us rather pity than
condemn the unfortunates who, to the
unhappiness Of being hungry and home
