SEVEN DAYS in THE WRECK,
A Woman Rescued Alive, With q
Chance for Life.

JOHNsTowN, June 7.-Another victim
of the wreck has been rescued from the
ruins alive. Last night Mrs. George
Stantler, wife of one of the prominent
photographers of the town, was taken
from the wreck of a house down near
the point. The body of woman was
found near the residence of Henry
Hawes yesterday which. when taken to-
the Presbyterian church morgue, was
supposed to be that of Mrs. Stantler:
Her son afterwards viewed the body and
said that it was not his mother. The
finding of the woman alive
last night proved that he
was right. Mrs. Stantler was
lying when found in cavity beneath a
pile of beams and rafters which held up
the mass of ruins on top and prevented
them from crushing her. She was un-
conscious and was just breathing. Her
hold on life was very slender one. and
it is not proable that she will live. al-
though she is receiving the tenderest of
care. When the news of her rescue
after six days and nights of exposure
and lack of nOurishments spread through
the town, hundreds of people crowded
about the stretcher on which she was
being carried to see her. 1t is considered
almost miraculous that she could have
remained alive so long. The rain and
cold were enough to kill her, without
the bruises and wounds which she re-
ceived during the flood.
