with Families, Except Two,


wuKEsBARRE, Pa, Feb n Every
effort is being made 20 rescue the thirteen
men imprisoned by the fall Of the roof in
the Gaylord mine OF the Kingston Coal
company at Plymouth yesterday, but IL
is feared that the fate OF the unfortunate
men is doomed, aud that there will be at
least eleven widows and many orphans To
sui err the loss OF their only support,
A numb Der of mine foremsn and their
assistants, led by John Is. Davis, super
~iutendent of Gaylord workings, after a
survey of the mine, reported that all the
outlets in the mine are closed, also the
rock tunnel and all the entrances. The
cave-in is now reported To have taken
place in what is known as the tiye-foot,
seven-foot and Bennett veins, and covers
an area Of about a mile, it having ex-
tended, and effects the central portion of
the town OF Plymouth. A few cracks can
be seen on the surface, but this has not
become seriously affected as yet.
The rescuing party were obliged To re-
treat on account of the further caving-in
OF the mine. The crashing of the immense
rocksas they come down, the rolling and
rumbling Of the many falls and the rush
and roar OF the wind by the conclusion,
tOrceu the men Io rttTehb W bnt suIihNcs
Men of all classes who are familiar with
mine working are at the scene OF the dis
aster and ready To do anything TO assist
I'm rescuing the entombed timbermen IL
such is possible.
The mules were taken from the shaft ms
the cave-ln was extending close To the
foot. Should the shaft be closed nt any
time all hope of rescuing the men will
have to be abandoned for au indefinite
time.
The timbermen who went into the
mine, and who are how imprisoned in
there, were warned that there was dan
ger ahead, but they were of the opinion
that the danger was not sufficient for
them TO stay out. They said. however,
to the hosting engineer n they went
down the pit, that should anything occur
you will find ms In the big branch in the
Bennett vein" This, however, IN also
closed, and there is no way To reach
them.
The scene about the mine is heHrtrend-
ing.
The officials are hard Mt work devising
plans or means Of rescue, but in order to
get the men they will have to penetrate
through hundreds of feet Of coal and
rock. II il thought by the superintend-
ent and other officials that the men are
on the big plane in the emmett vein.
which is about 100 feet from the foot OF
the shaft.
An the men were married except
Thomas Lpyshou, who il n single man,
and Daniel Morgan. who is a widower.
