REsoUERs HEARD RAPPINGs.
Vain Hopes Raised by Men working
In the Twin shnff.

Wilkesbarre Pa, July 5.-There Is Just
a possibility that some OF the men en-
tombed in the Twin shaft at Pittston may
be taken out alive.
. The rescung party who were at work
from 10 o'clock last night until 4 o'clock
this morning on coming TO the surface,
reported to Mine Foreman O'Brien that
they heard rappings on the rails Of the
gangway road. which may have been
caused by some of the entombed men.
The rappngs were clear and distinct,
as If some one had struck the rail with
a hard substance.
The supposed signal was answered by
the rescuers in the same manner. After
a short silence the answer came clear
and distinct. The sound seemed to come
a distance Of some 300 feet from where the
rescuers were at work.
When this news reached the surface
there were only a few persons at the
head of the shaft, but in a short time 1t
was spread throughout the city of Pitts
ton, and an immense crowd gathered,
among them relatives and friends Of the
victims, in whose hearts hope had awak-
ened.
Further news from the pit was watched
for up to o'clock this afternoon, but
beyond the fact that the rappings were
heard there was no further Developments
At O'Clock tonight the rescuers re-
port that in their opinion they are within
400 feet of the entombed men. The shifts
have been increased from twenty men
to thirty-fve, who are relieved every half
hour. They are still cutting through the
rock and progressing more rapidly than
at any time heretofore since the work
commenced.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, July 5, II p. m.-
Through the orders of General Superin-
tendent Law, several skillful men were
quietly sent into the shaft this afternoon
to verify, If possible, the hopeful story
Of the rapping.
After prolonged efforts and the use or
every method of signalling possible, they
came back tonight with report Of fall
ure, not the least bit of noise indicating
that their labor in this direction had been
successful The work Of three mine IN
spectors to investigate the disaster viii
