down Commonwealth avenue the spec
tacle was an inspiring one. The
music of 100 bands and the APP
plause of thousands of people filled

the waving of the rich plumes and
the silver and gold emblems which are

CENTRAL CITY, Col, Sept 1.-The

William Prisk was rescued alive. Ten
men are known to be dead I'M
der 200 feet of water. Four
are possibly in the tunnel. 1t
is comparatively dry, but the water
having stopped ventilation, the gases
will kill them. Volunteers Friday
morning were trying to force their way
to where the entombed miners are sup
posed to be. State Mining Inspector
Talbot arrived Friday morning to
Investigate the disaster, and said it
would be impossible to rescue any
more of the miners. The accident was
due to carelessness. The danger was
known but neither of the mines where
the men lost their lives had pumping
apparatus. When the water rushed in
ON them it dropped fully 10 feet per
second and the wretched men literally
sank out of sight.
As the Sleepy Hollow mine was al
ways dry, no pumping plant is estab-
lished there. Efforts have been made to
lower the water with a 500-gallOn
bucket, but this apparently has no
effect. Cornish pumps will be put in,
but it will even then take sixty days to
drain the mines and get to the bodies
of the drowned miners. The water is
now 300 feet deep in the Sleepy Hol-
low shaft and is still rising, while it
has lowered in the Fisk over 100 feet

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. "A distinctly
oerceptible earthquake shock was felt
here Sunday morning about 8 o'clock.
The vibration did not last longer than
second or SO, but it was severe
enough TO awaken people from sleep
and to shake ornaments hanging on
walls. The direction of the shock was
from southeast to north-northwest.
Buildings perceptibly swayed. win
dows clattered and banged and clocks
and pictures toppled from their places.
The shock was most severely felt
in the suburban districts, and in
one part OF Georges hill, in Fair
mount park, n assure was opened
which extended down over 100 feet
without touching bottom. A large
plate-glass window in the shade store
of Michael Lett, 1914 Germantown
avenue, was split from top to bottom.
Similar cases are reported from other
sections of the city.
BROOKLYN, Sept. Three very dis
tinct earthquake shocks were felt by
the residents of brooklyn about 6
o'clock Sunday morning. The shock
was pretty severe in Coney Island and
many persons were awakened from
their sleep. Pictures, crockery and
even furniture in many houses were
dlslodged from their positions and the
owners who were not awakened by the
earthquake wondered how it came to
pass.
Lone BRANCH, N. j., Sept. 3.-At
Long Branch the earthquake was felt
more distinctly than at any other place
along the coast. The residents in sew

thinking the buildings were about TO
fall. A prominent resident said his
house rocked violently to and fro.
New YORK, Sept. 3.-Indications are
that the earthquake was felt only in
Delaware, New Jersey, eastern Penn
sylvania and eastern New York,
including the western part of Long
Island. From no place is there
any record of disaster or serious dam
age. In mos places the nature of the
shock seems scarcely to have been sus-
pected. In a few places the more
ignorant or mere superstitious of the
inhabitants were thrown into par
oxysms of terror and betools them
selves to their knees, their prayers and
their Bibles This is the first shock
felt in this part of the United States
