HAzLEToN, Pa, Feb. 23.-Five miners
entombed in slope No. 1, at GAINESVILLE,
were found alive late tonight. Their
names are John Tomaskusky, Joe Mastus-
kowich, John Berno, Bosco Frinko, and
an unknown Hungarian who was visiting

when Superintendent McFarlane and Caleb
Williams were making q search in breast
of the east gangway of the north ditch
they came across the bodies of the
five men. They were lying in va
rious positions all huddled together
in their efforts to keep warm. Careful ex-
weak from hunger and thirst. They were
SO weak that with one exception they could
not be moved. John Temaskusky was in
better shape than any of the rest. A
large stock of blankets were at once
secured and the men wrapped in them.
Tomaskusky was just strong enough to
raise his head and able to leok around
He was carefully carried to the
engine house at the bottom of the
first lift and medical aid given. When
spoken to he raised his eyes mournfully,
look of despair passed over his face and
he muttered "John much sick" The
rest of the men could not be moved, but
were cared for where found. The men
will not be brought to the surface for
several days. Careful nursing will be
given them and every effort put forth to
save their lives.
The m.n said the contents of their din

Then they lived on the oil from their
lamps and bottles. After that was ex-

lions.
New YORK, Feb 23.-The 159th birth
day of George Washington was observed
in this city to-day. The exchanges and
banks were closed as were also most of tho
public buildings and business generally
throughout the city was suspended.
The transition from public sorrow to
public expression of gladness was never
before in the history of the republic 80
sharply defined as it has been during the
past forty-eight hours. All day Saturday
the nations colors were flying at half-mast
over tho country in sorrowing tribute to
the memory of the great soldier for whom
the bugle taps had sounded. To-day the
nations colors were hoisted to the top in
memory of the ilustrious American re-
corded as first in peace, first in war and
first in the hearts of his countrymen.
The. day, which broke slightly overcloud-
ed later became cold and clear, and holiday
seekers in search of holiday sport found it
excellent for their purpose. The streets
down town showed the quiet signs of a
holiday and uptown the busy streets to
trade were deserted.
The day was quietly observed in Brook
| lyn. Business is generally suspended and
the principal stores are closed. The
courts, public Offices and schools are en-
| joying holiday. The flags and bunting
were profusely used in decorating the city
hall, court house and municipal building.
Private buildings were decorated upon
every side with the national emblem.
| The day was also celebrated in Brook
| Ign, Boston, Chicago, Pittsburg, Washing

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 23.-The loss of
lives by the wrecking of the clipper ship
Elizabeth off North Head, Saturday night,
is now estimated at nineteen, including
Captain Henry of the local life saving ser
vice. Eleven persons, including the wife
and children of Captain Colcord of the
Elizabeth, were saved. Charles Barclay,
first mate of the wrecked vessel, with four
others, succeeded in floating ashore yes
terday, and was cared for by Portuguese
ranchers. He says that after the captains
family had been placed aboard the tug Re
lance, Saturday, every effort was re-
doubled to save the ship from the impend-
ing doom. Captain Colcord was badly
hurt during the afternoon by being
thrown against a capstan and was unable
to move except with great pain, but he
heroically refused to be sent ashore, and
protested that he desired to stay by the
ship.
I ordered ife-boat ready for launching
when the ship struck the rock. and then
went aft and requested the captain to come
with me. took him by the arm and start
ed to lead him forward, when the heavy
seas washed him from my grasp. again
got hold of him, and assisted by one of the
crew struggled through the tremendous
seas sweeping over the deck. A sailor
suddenly exclaimed that the captain was
dead, and 1 saw that was the case. Then
the crew launched the boat and endeav-
ored to keep near the ship to render all
possible assistance, but the high winds
and waves soon drove them out of sight
BARCLAY and eight men remained on the
vessel. The main-top- gallant mast went
by the board. The mizzen mast fell with
a crash and was soon followed
by the fore-top-mast The vessel
was raised high on the waves and fell
upon rocks where she broke asunder.
Barclay and four companions struggled
with the waves for a long time, but were
finally carried ashore. Three of the men
drowned. The boat, containing thirteen
which left the Elizabeth before she
broke up was overturned by waves, and
only four of its occupants were saved. The
list of survivors SO far as known COM
prises Mrs. Colcord, the captains wife;
their son and daughter, Chief Mate Bar

seamen. The body of Captain Henry of
