other, as he also was murdered, though

Twenty-Five Of the Miners Caught
In Cave-In Are Dead.
An eyewitness Details the Horrors Of the
Wllkesbarre Mine Catastrophe.

an Eye Witnose D0tens tn0 H0rrOrs OF tn0
w'lkesbsrre Mine Catastrophe.
wnKEsBARRE, Pa, May 17.-After
working hard all night, the rescuing
parties at the ill.fated mine discovered
at o'clock yesterday morning, an en-.
tombed Hungarian named Russ. He
was sitting up in one Of the gang ways.
He was able to talk, and said he trav-
eled away from the other men immedi-
ately after the cave-in Thursday. He
made for the abandoned workings.
He thought the men must all bo
safe in one of the breasts. This
news caused great rejoicing among the
fescuers. They thought sure the whole
party must be safe. The news was
sent to the people on the outside and
there was great cheering. But this Joy
Of the multitude was short lived. Russ
died as soon as he was brought into the
open air. He had inhaled the fatal gas.
The rescuing party, who had pushed
their way further into the mine, came
across 10 dead bodies in the third lift Of
the Baltimore vein. The men were
clasped in each others arms. They were
brought to the surface as soon as possi-
BILE. The ghastly appearance OF tho
bodies cast gloom over the people,
and their lamentations were pitiablo
to hear. The conclusion was almost
positive that all the men must be dead.
Such proved to be the case. At
10:15 Foreman Reese, of the rcscuing
gang, reached the chamber where tho
men took refuge. Eighteen bodies
were found huddled together. Tho
sight was sickening. Some Of the bod
les had no heads and others were minus
hands and feet. AS quickly as possible
the bodies were brought to the surface.
As soon as dead body made its appear
ance at the mouth Of the pit some rela-
tives would cry out in distress: ''Oh,
that is my poor papa!' or "Oh, my dar.
ling husband; that Is him; can tell by
his coat" When Michael Hay
was brought up, his wife and
nine children threw themselves
on what remained of his body. Strong
men had to turn away with tears in
their eyes. Finally the manifestation
Of grief became so great that guard
had to be placed around the mouth OF
the pit Superintendent Phillips says
the men were killed by an explosion of
gas. When the cave-in occurred, all the
lights were blown out. 1t was then
dangerous to relight the lamps, but
Miner Allen insisted on relighting his.
He said: II am going to have q light to
get out of here" AS soon as he lit his
lamp the gas exploded. Out Of the 81
men in the mine 25 are dead.

W1LKEsDARRE, Pa, May 16.--At nine
o'clock yesterday morning the commu.
nifty was thrown into state OF wild ex.
element when the news spread that an
extensive cavo-in had occurred in No.
Colliery, covering On area Of more than
ten acres. Thousands rushed to the
scene of the disaster, and found that the
surface almost as far as the eye could
reach was scanned and cracked with long
circular assures. some Of which were
over two feet wide. The sorrow OF the
people was intensified when It became
known that twenty-seven OF their
friends, who had gone into the fatal pit
in the morning were directly beneath
the portion that had caved in, and in all
probabilities were entombed forever be-
hind an impcnetrable mass Of coal and
rock. That portion OF the mine in
which the men were is known as No.
slope, and the cave-in, II II did not over
whelm them all at once, shut of all
means Of reaching the surface. Rescu.
ing parties were at once organized,
and an opening broken through
into manway along the bed
OF mountain stream, where the
chambers in that part Of the mine came
within few feet OF the surface. All
the day long these mon toiled like Tit.
ans at the hard and stubborn rock, while
the weeping wives and little ones of the
doomed victims stood around the open.
ing and rent the air with their cries and
lamentations. Gang after gang relieved
one another until five o'clock the news
was passed that they had succeeded in
breaking through the chambers beneath
the cave. A period OF indescribable
suspense followed, while the thou
sands who stood around the opening
waited for some intelligence from the
men at the front. The mon toiled on
in silence until half-past six, when there
was commotion at the mouth Of the
dark opening and the foreman crawled
out on his hands and knees and on
nounced that they had found one Of the
victims. He was lying at the bottom Of
a fifty-foot plano. and in order to rescue
him 1t became necessary to lower q
miner down with rope. This was
done, and the charred and blackened
form Of Anthony Froyne, tho first OF the
victims. was hoisted to tho surface. He
was still alive, but his injuries arc con-
sidered fatal.
