The daily morning journal and courier., 1896-06-30

several hundred men worked at the mouth of the mine in vain endeavors to get at the entombed miners. Thou sands of feet of timber were lowered in- to the shaft, and preparations made to brace up the roof of the mine in order to prevent another accident while the work of rescue was being carried on, That was as far as the rescuers got. Entrance to the place where the en- tombed miners were was cut off by masses of dirt and coal that choked the hole
 The rescuers returned to the mouth of the shaft discouraged over the pros poets of reaching their comrades. Many think that it will take two weeks and perhaps months to force a way through the solid wall of dirt and coal,
 The scene at the mouth of the Twin shaft mine this morning and last night was heart-rending. In the crowd of several thousand persons were wives, mothers, sisters and other relatives of the entombed miners. They hovered about the black mouth of the shaft all night, eagerly waiting for any favora- ble news that might be sent up Each hour intensified their disappointment and anguish.

FOUR CHILDREN DROWNED.
Sad Fate of an Excursion in Boston
 Harbor.

Sad Fate of an Excursion in Boston Harbor.
 Boston, June 29.--One of the saddest accidents in the history of the Boston water front occurred at Castle Island. off City Point, this afternoon. At about 2:30 seventy five children were on a rickety, unsafe gang plank and float, the land south of the bridge from the Point to the island, when the float over- turned, the f1imsy guard-rails of the gang plank split and thirty or more of the children were tumbled into at least twelve feet of water Four boys, from twelve to fifteen years old, were drown- ed, four children were picked up un- conscious and later revived and the others, as far as known, were rescued.
 The dead are: James H. Washburne, nine years, No. 156 F street, South Bos- ton; James F. Cole, aged eleven, No. 46 L street, South Boston; Lawrence McDowell aged twelve, No. STA Broad- way, South Boston; an unknown lad of twelve years.
 Injured-Lillian Duffy, aged eleven, and Harry Sampson, ten years.
 Two hours later the divers searched the water around the pier, but recov- cred no more bodies. The dead were taken from the steamer by the police and placed in the ambulance. The ann bulance conveyed the bodies to the rooms of Undertakers Cole and Mullen. The incidents on the island and at the Point while the search was kept up were sad to see. Many women were hysterical and frantic, crying and say ing that their boys had not come home, and they were certain that the boys were on the island at the time of the accident.
 The float was built last May under contract by the park commissioners and the builders are being roundly cen- sured on all sides for it's flimsy and faulty construction. It was small and cheaply built, of narrow timber and oil barrels and was not properly weighted or fastened, while the gang plank lead- ing to it is made of knotted and thin yellow pine rails and blanks.
