THEY ATE RATS
Tho Entombed Miners Took Turns watch-
Ing the Rodents,

Ing the Rodents,
The four men rescued alive from the
Jeanesville, Pa, mine still occupy
cots in the town hall. Two trained
nurses from the Bethlehem hospital took
charge of the patients Wednesday morn
ing. Two policemen stand guard at the
door. No one is admitted to see the pa
tients but doctors and newspaper men.
The village is full of dime museum
agents, who want to engage the men.
The five men who were res
cued from the Nanticoke mine,
and who are now being exhibited in
dime museum, have lost their jobs. The
nineteen day men are wanted now. The
patients felt pretty good at noon, when
correspondent, accompanied by Dr.
Smell, called. John Tomisky, who was
very low when he was brought out of
the mine, quarreled with his nurse be-
cause she would not give him more to
eat than the doctor allowed. "Give me
something" he said, "If you havnt got
anything else give me some rat
legs" why, Jchn," said the doctor,
what do you mean by rat legs?' 81
mean the rat legs we had in the mines"
''that you did eat rats in the mine, not
withstanding the fact that Joe Matuski
says you didn't" "Ah, don't you believe
joe" replied TomisIi; "he is too proud
to acknowledge now that he ate rats He
ate more rats than 1 did. Do you think
we could have kept alive all this time
without something to eat? We had to
eat the rats, or they would eat us Why,
saw Joe myself sucking blood from a
rat, and he said it relieved his thirst"
The reporter and doctor then moved
over to Joe MatuslSi's couch. He
was asked whether it was true that
they had eaten rats. "No, doctor,
we didn't eat rats; only portion
of the legs That was pretty good
meat, and didn't taste ratty." John
Barno was the coward of the party.
His three companions say he cried all
the time. He would say 'if he could
only see his sweetheart in Hungary be.
fore he died" The men used to take
turns in watching the rats. Had they
all gone to sleep together the rats
would have eaten their eyes out, tho
same as they did with other men found
dead. Their eyes were eaten out.
Barno refused to take his turn
at watching. He said he did not care
whether he did or not. Big Joe says if
he hadn't nursed Barno and watched
over him he would have died. Franko
was the religious man of the party. He
prayed all the time. He had an old
pair of beads in his pocket, and had
them out all the time. On the twelfth
day, when there was no sign of rescue,
he prayed for a happy death.

Floods.

Dispatches received from Yuma,
Ariz., Friday, say that every building in
the town except the Southern Pacific

stroyed by the flood Thursday night.

passenger and freight depots are both
flooded, and water rose to level with
the bridge across the Colorado river.
In order to prevent the bridge from be-
ing carried away by the freight depot
being set afoat, the building was blown
up with dynamite. Friday morning the
river dropped seventeen inches in the
hour, and the Yuma residents are feel
ing less anxious. All the country
eastward for twenty miles is under
water. Water is running over the piers
of the bridge. The river is still rising.
The people have abandoned all of their
houses and gone to the hills. The tele.
graph Office is now operated from the
Southern Pacific hotel, which stands on
a high point.

NEWS OF THE RAILWAYS.
Chicago's Great Road, the Famou Maple
Leaf Line. -

Chlcago's Great Road, the Famous Maple
Leaf Line.
The Chicago. st. Paul & Kansas City was
the first railroad in the country to issue
special transportation advertising for the
Worlds fair at Chicago. That is enterprise
and an illustration of the sort of manage
ment that within a few years has trans
formed the Chicago, st. Paul q Kansas
City from a short and unimportant line,
with little to encourage it's continuance, to
one of the most prominent and most popu-
lar lines in the northwest. With its termi-
mails in Chicago, Kansas City and st. Paul,
southwest. The territory it embraces is
the garden spot of America. In it dwell
100000 people whom this great road ac-
commodities. The great states of Illinois,
Minnesota, Iowa. Missouri and Kansas are
tapped by its lines.
The general Headquarters of the road is
at st. Paul. while the freight and pas
senger departments direct their business
from Chicago. In the latter city the COM
pany's trains arrive at n depart from the
Grand Central passenger station, COM
pleted at the beginning of the present year,
this country. The three main lines of this
road unite at Oelwein, in Northeastern
Iowa. Aside from these are several short
branches, all of Importance, the longest
being from Sumner to Hampton. Iowa.
The latter state is divided nearly in halves
by the road. which crosses its very finest
portion. The mileage in Missouri, Kansas
and Minnesota is comparatively small, but
in I~llionols again increases, the northern
and most populous part of the Prairie
state reverberating to the thunder of its
trains.
Much Of the success of the road is due to
the ability and energy of a railway man
we'll known to many in Rochester. w. r.
Busenbark, the traffic manager of the road.
In his intercourse with the patrons of the
road he has won thousands of friends for
himself and his company.
The equipment of the Chicago, st. Paul
u Kansas City is unexcelled by that of any
road in the country. Its vestibuled COM
partmsnt sleeping cars are modelso of lux
ury, comfort and convenience. No other
line west of Chicago runs compartment
sleeping cars. The dining car service ia
fully up to the requirements of the most
fastidious and luxury-loving of modern
travellers. In short the Chicago. st. Paul
d Kansas City is the best line between Chi
cage and st. Paul, Minneapolis and tho
northwest. between Chicago and tho prin-
cipal points in Iowa, between Chicago and
the southwest. Persons going from east
ern pnints.to Chicago and beyond will do
