A DARING RESCUE
Forty.Five Miners Escape a .. Terrible Death.
AN ENGINEERS HEROIC ACT.
Hc Descends Flooded Mine Alone to Save
 the Imprisoned Men.

They Wore Imprisoned for Hours and
 Their Panic-stricken Friends Refused to
 Aid the Daring Rescuer-A Long and
 Perilous struggle-The Miners Paralyzed
 With Fear-A Big Loss to tho Coal
 Company.
 CUMBERLAND, Md, Aug. 31.-Forty- five mon were at work in the Alleghany mine, 13 miles from Cumberland, belong ing to the Consolidated Coal Company, yesterday, when the wall between it and the adjoining worked-out Boston or Etna mine gave way from pressure of water in tho the old mine. It flowed steadily in strong stream over four feet in depth and there were grave fears for the mon inside.
 Hours passed before any relief could be obtained by the men inside, and out side the deep concern of wives, children and loving friends were depicted on every countenance. Finally the water had subsided to depth that would al- low entrance to the mine and H. P. Meem, the mining engineer of the com pany, started in alone in search of tho imprisoned mon, none of the ONo''ooAo OoAAS WAAAAAAB O VcAtu1o ~AoA him.
 After wading through the water against strong current up to his arm pits and over an irregular bed 1, 800 feet, he came to 8 group of forty-three men who told him of man and boy being in distant room. No one would go to their relief. He started on anew and finding the two placed the boy on his shoulders, and, bidding tho man to fol- low, turned back and joined the group.
 The men seemed terrified and with out judgment. They declined to go forward until after much persuasion and then only after Meem had taken the lead with the child on his shoulders. Fortunately all escaped.
 The water was an accumulation of years and Is still flowing at consider able depth, though with less force.
 The loss to the coal company Is said to be heavy, the full extent will not be ascertained until the water has entirely subsided.
 Meem's courage in entering the mine, his young spirit and the hope and en- couragement he gave the entombed miners when he met them may be justly considered their salvation. He is cer- tatnly the beneficiary to many loving heart in homes that would be grief stricken, where widows tears and or phans' cries would prevail in peace of joyful and thankful hearts.

Dixey,s New Play,

Henry E. Dixey's season. twill not open as early as at first contemplated. It has now been concluded to have the production of ''The Seven Ages' occur in New York City instead of bringing out the piece else where, and getting 1t into running shape.
 In accordance with this design, "The Seven Ages" will first see the light on the evening of October 2 at the Standard Thea ter. MT. Rice and MT. Dixey both consider that previous performances, involving the Juggling about of the costumes and scenery, would remove tho newness from these arti cles, and thereby injure the first perform snce in New York.
 MT. Dixey is already perfect in the lines of his new part, and will thus be enabled to apply himself solely to the business of tho piece from the time of the first rehearsal. In making the production ready he will have the assistance of Nr. Gill, who wrote the piece to his order. The costumes vii be superb.
