FROM DEATHS JAWS.
Three Miners Entombed for Nearly
Week Rescued

Week Rescued.
WILKEsBARRE, Pa, Feb. l0.-The three
men entombed in the grand tunnel last
Wednesday were rescued to- day.
The experience of the men is most thrill
ing. Alter they had reached point OF
comparative SAFETY from the flood they
found that only a slende piece of wood had
to keep back tons of loose coal
that had fallen into the mouth
OF thes cross-cut When they found the
inclined cut in the vein and climb up its
almost perpendicular passage they managed
to obtain a piece OF loose timber; TINS
they placed across the opening of the tun-
mel, and after getting it safely lodged.
cIimed up on it for a seat. There
they sat on this piece of tim
Der, scarcely three inches wide, for
over four days. Behind them was the inn
mense body OF coal held in place by a
small piece of prop" and tearing to dis
lodge it the men dared not even rest against
it. In short time their supply OF oil gave
out and they were in total darkness.
Riner, the most experienced of the men,
was able to keep his head in heir long im-
prisonment, the other two became crazy.

Riner. Schil!ing was more easily managed,
although he was sobblng constantly.
Wednesday passed and Thursday came,
and then the men lost track of time.
The first welcome sound reaching their
ears was the ''plunk" of the pump. The
first message between them and their res
cuers reached them at o'clock this morn
ing. The work OF reaching the imprisoned
miners was accomplished by George Bender,
who, when he found his progress stopped
by low timbers dipped his raft under them,
following by diving. He lost his hat and
miners lamp, but William Bowen, who was
swimming the gangway, passed his lamp
through break over the imbers and Bender
went on with his search. When he found
Rner, Cragin and SchilIing they were up
in the heading perched on "leg-
ging" and at the highest point they could
get in the mine. This was but
trife more than six feet
above the elevation reached by the
food, and here they were without food
since Wednesday morning. At $50 the
water was down enough to let the men out
by flowing them one at time on raft
across the flooded gangway, their imprison-
ment making them too weak to risk the
danger OF the water. The physician in at
tendance says the men must subsist on beef
tea Tor day or two, and they will be all
right in short time, except possibly Piner,
who is slightly poisoned in his feet by the
sulphur water OF the mine.

DENVER Feb. 10.-The firm OF W. H.
Meade &, Co., who had an office here for
about three weeks, very suddenly disap-
peared Saturday, and have not been heard
from since.
Their departure was probably prompted
by the publication here on the 7th OF Min

rest there of firm fraudulently dealing in
timber land by which the purchasers were
deirauded of their money.
The Meade firm claims to be the agents
of the Michigan & Marine Lumber and

to the Minneapolis firm, and they required
the suckers" to deposit $25. After GER
tain length of time they were promised
$4OO, with which they were to go to Oregon

then agreeing to purchase the land at
$1,000.
There can be no doubt that the firm
did a rushing business here, as a great
