The work of Rescue Retarded.

WLREsBARRE, Pa, Feb. 23.-The res
cuers at work in the Gaylord shaft are
now working under great difficulties an
other cavein being threatened from the
head Of the slope The roof over the place
where the men are now at work is twenty
feet high, and it is almost impossible to
prop it so as to insure safety. The roof
may hold together for an indefinite period,
or again it may fall at any moment,
crushing those who are at work beneath
it. There seems to be but little hope Of
recovering the bodies of the buried miners
within the next ten days.

! H. COHNlLL MURDER MYS ERY
Inquest on the Victim Of Students Fatai
"Fun" Adjourned.
ITHACA, NY, Feb. 23.-The city author
tiles think they have several clews that
will lead TO the arrest of the sophomores
who caused the death of Mary jackson,
the colored cook, by libcrating chlorine
gas in the kitchen adjoining the dining
room, where the freshmen were holding
their class supper Wednesday night. They
think they know who purchased the tools
to make the holes in the floor Of the
kitchen and where some of the chemicals
used came from. The suspected students
are being watched, and will be arrested if
they try TO leave town.
The coroner's inquest in the case Of Mrs
jackson was begun yesterday afternoon,
but after some evidence had been received
1t was adjourned for one week. From
none OF the witnesses could it be learned
how entrance was affected to the room
below the kitchen.
On the jug in which the poisonous gas
was generated, and which was found in
the room, was discovered an address, mo.
Cook street, This was evidently an ad-
dress TO which the jug had been delivered.
NO. COOK street is boarding house oc-
cupied by students, and they were all
called as witnesses.
A student named Taylor and 7. l.. Din
gen were the only ones who failed to ap-
pear. Those who testified disclaimcd all
knowledge Of the affair, most of them
proving that they had not left their rooms
on the evening in question. 1t is rumored
that Dingen and Taylor have left town,
but there is no proof that they are not in
Ithaca.
From none Of the druggists could it be
learned where the sulphuric acid and po-
tasslum permanganate used in the prep
aration of the chlorine gas had been pur-
chased. Neither could it be positively
learned where the drills and augers used
in boring the holes in the ceiling had been
procured
