1The Difficulty of Rescuing the Victims
some of the Rescuing Party Over
come-The List of Victims.

W1LKESBARRE, Pa, Aug. 1.-THE mine
of the West End Coal company operated
by COnyngham, Teasdale & Co, at Ma
canaqua was the scene of terrible acci-
dent this morning. Just before the night
shift went off duty the fan broke The
boss knew of this and 50 did the men on
the day shift before they entered the mine,
but notwithstanding this they went into
the mine taking a great risk There were
about thirty in all who were supplied with
safety lamps, as it was well known that
| the gas would accumulate About sew
| enty-tive men were in the mine at the
| time work was begun. The workmen
| repairing the fans were the first who were
overcome with gas and in about an hour
| later the same fate was shared by many of
| the miners in the mine. Before the men
fairly realized their danger more than
| twenty of them were unconscious Those
| who could then escape did so. Superin-
| tendint John TeaSdale, with Il corps of
| men as relief then went down the mine
| to assist the men in making their escape
| and after being in the mine half an hour
| IeaNdale became unconscious a. did several
| Of his men who We're with difficulty res
cued. Others went down, and in the face
of immense difficulties and in spite of be-
ing continually overcome by gas, got out
all but ten men. Three of those brought
out We're dead and those in the mine are
beyond doubt dead. The dead, as far as
can be learned are James Whalen, Will
liam Ninaby, Peter Bornitzki, John Dill
day and Hiram Mead. Eight men We're
badly hurt, and some of those rescued
alive are still unconscious and in a preca-
riOuS condition.
The boss at the mine says he notified
the men of the danger, but they say he
told them to 90 to work, that the fan was
broken, but would be repaired and put in
working orderin an hour The death roll

SAVED BY A BRAVE GIRL.

The Tor is mountain peak, rising
west of Haverstraw, New York, and is
a tavorite resort for visitors in the
Summer. Mr.. Blackledge, of Newark,
with young lady as a companion,
climbed to its summit, over 700 feet
above sea level. They ascended by
the winding path, which is the only
proper and safe course up the noun
tain. They remained an hour on the
summit enjoying the view, which is
one of the finest along the mountains,
and then began their descent. The
slippery condition of the path made
the walk more dangerous than usual.
and when about one-thrd of the way
down, Mr. Blackledge suggested that
they leave the path and turn to the
left, where the walking was apparently
better
They did SO and a few minutes later
Mr.. Blackledge lost his footing on a
loose rock, fell over and rolled over the
edge of the cliff ninety feet high. His
cry of alarm and his almost immediate
disappearance caused his companion
few yards behind him to stop. Then,
instead of screaming or fainting, she
cautiously crept to the brink of the
precipice and looked down. She ex-
pected to see his dead body on the
rocks below. To her relief she saw
hn haI hnnra
crag about twenty feet down and that
he supported himself with a small tree
and with his feet in a cleft of the rock.
He was deathly pale, but called to her
that he was unhurt and wished her to
call for help. This she did Justify, but
without avail. Then, telling him to
wait few minutes, she began active
measures of relief
Around some large rocks on the edge
of the cliff she built sort of platform
on which to stand Then she devoted
her wrap and a flannel skirt to make
a rope for the rescue. To her almost
fainting friend she lowered her strong
ly knotted cord and slowly, but surely,
he came up hand over hand to the top
of the cliff, where for five minutes he
lay exhausted. The young lady then
helped him down the mountain path
and without further mishap they
reached the outskirts of the village
shortly after dark.
The young lady is said to be Miss
Mildred Porter, of Elizabeth, this State,
and she is visiting friends in Haver-
straw. Mr.. Blacllledge came to visit
her. He has not yet fully recovered.
He certainly owes his life to Miss Por-
ters coolness and bravery.

Jacob Freese, NJ. D., who died sud
denly in Philadelphia recently, was
once a prominent figure in New Jer-
sey and Trenton, where he located in
1851, and soon after purchased the
State Gazette, which he published un-
til 1866. In 1856 he became Lieutenant
Colonel of Militia, and when the war
broke out was made Assistant Adiu-
tant General of Volunteers. He was
also Provost Marshal of Alexandria.
In 1866 he was appointed by President
johnson a Commissioner to the Paris
Exposition. While abroad he visited
Palestine, and on his return, published
a book on it, and was always there
after known as Jerusalem Freesen.
He erected at Riverview Cemetery an
elaborate monument, on which he in
scribed the names and ages of his de-
ceased wife and children, and at the
bottom put: Jacob 7. Freese, born
March f. 1896; died He became

State House to find out how many hours
a day the Governor and other officers
worked. In company with his two
sons, he started savings bank and
did fiourishing business until some
body found out that the institution
had 100000 deposits and no assets.
The bank failed, and the poor people
whose business he had chiefly sought
wanted to hang him. He was con-
victed of swindling, and sentenced to
five years in State Prison, being the
first of the coterie of financiers who
made famous Bankers Row. in that
institution. His term expired a few
years ago, and he published a circular
declaring that he had been the victim
of a vile conspiracy, and proposed to
pay back his depostors in full, but
never did.
