TEN HOURS IN A FLOODED MINE.
One Hundred and Fifty Men Rescued fro
q Perilous Situation.


Perilous Situation.
HUNTINGTON, Pa, Dec. 3-The mines of
the Rock Hill Coal Company at Roberts
dale, this county, became flooded Satur-
day morning soon after the miners had
entered upon their work. There were
$50 men in the mines at the time,
and the rushing water swept them before
it to the further ends Of the mines, where
they were imprisoned for ten hours
in water reaching to their chins. Their
escape from the mouth of the mine was
cut of by the oncoming tide, which had
burst dam above the mines, sweeping
every thing before it. The volume Of
water thus suddenly liberated covered an
area Of forty acres to depth of five feet.
Through excavations the current of the
water was turned from the mines and
after ten hours intense suffering the i'm
prisoned miners were liberated. The COM
pany's loss Is very great.
