be rescued. Lady Orde. who appeared at

much as possible while preparations were
being made for rescue. Tha tiremen bur-
richly elevated the tre-escape and lust as a
pun OF smoke shot out over the heads OF
the shrleking women the fire-escape was ad-
justed, and the firemen FASTENED to assist
In their descent. Amid frantic shouts of

Ten Days In - Mine without Food.
ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 4-Ten days ago q
mine on the line of the Lonetz railway was
flooded by the sudden ingress of q large
volume of water. Eight men were sup-
posed TO have been drowned in the work
ings. To-day a party of miners went down
to rescue the bodies of their comrades.
They searched the main galleries. but
found no trace of them. Finally in q steep
working that had been abandoned a long
time ago they almost stumbled over the
men, who. il appears. had made for this
point when they found escape by means of
the shaft cut Oft. They were still alive.
but had their rescue been delayed for q FEY
hours more they would have died of starva-
ton. For the entire ten days they had
been without q morsel of food, and they
speak. They were removed to the surface
as quickly as possible. Medical aid was
summoned. and stimulants in q very small
Quantity were given them. after which they
wxre allowed a little soup. The physicians
state that with extreme care the eight men
will probably recover.
