BURIED IN A MINE.

Fall of Coal and Rock in Shaft Near
Mount Carmel, Pa, Completely Cuts
Off the Escape of Six Colliers-Eforts
Being Made for Their Rescue.
SHAMoK1N, Pa, March 15.-Patrick Leon
ard, Michael Buggy, Peter Nearsheleska
and Vincent Rucush, of this place, and
John Hall and an unknown Hungarian
miner, of Mount Carmel, are imprisoned
in a gangway of the Black Diamond
mine, near the latter town, and
it is question whether they will
ever come to the surface of the earth again
The men were engaged in mining coal
about 10 o'clock Thursday morning The
cracking of timber in the gangway told
them that rush and fall of coal was about
to occur, and to escape the miners dashed
down into the narrow tunnel. Near
sheleskia and Rucush were ten feet
in advance of the rest when sudden
~ mass of rock and coal dropped in
front of them, choking up the entrance into
the main gallery. As they turned about to
escape the falling stuff another mass of rock
and timber stopped their retreat, complete
ly isolating the men from their comrades
An alarm spread through the mines
and the work of rescue commenced.
At o'clock p. m. the laborers heard faint
sounds of voices eagerly pushed their work
and two hours later were enabled to hold
conversation with Rucush. He informed
them of his own and his companions safe
ty. bunch of rugged top rock is hanging
directly over the mems heads and may fall
at any moment. The fate of the men in the
second fall remains unknown The work
of liberation continues, shifts of ten men
being put on every few minutes The mouth
of the mine is thronged with excited spec
tatofs and fearful relatives

plant and burying number of men in the

three badly injured, and there are still

quite seriously injured, some of them, it Is
thought, fatally. The names of the dead al

mutilated; Charles Allenbacke, laborer, head
and body boiled; Daniel Clark. boller-maker,
man gled and scalded; John Remheimer,

the buildings for several squares. In
few minutes large crowd had
gathered about the wreck, and the
scene was most sgonizing. Wives,
mothers and children ran about wringing
their hands and crying, eagerly search

moved was that of the engineer, Linde-

valuable one, and will prove complete
loss. Nothing remains but a mass Of brick,
mortar and timbers. The firm was unable
to approximate the loss, but it is safe to say
that it will reach $4,000. The conclusion

most exalted patriotism.
Not alone in cities, but also in the ham

and our voices in honor of the priceless
heritage of our constitution and our Wash
ington. And, above all, let our children
the young to whose charge the destiny of
the Nation is soon to be confided-be en-
bued with the intensest love of country,
and their loyalty to its proud memories and
beloved institutions be so enshrined in their
hearts as to insure the perpetuity of the
Republic. THOMAS B. BRYAN.
