able artillery company of Massachu-
sets, now on its way to England The
date of this military turnout has not

American visitors, an imposing artil-
lery parade has been ordered at Wool

tillery.

STILL AT WORK.
Every Possible Effort Being Put
Forth to Reach the Men Imprisoned
in the Twin Shaft at Piston.

Wilkesbarre, Pa. July 1.-Another
extensive cave-in occurred in the work.
ings of the Twin shaft shortly after
midnight. The cave-in was in that por-
ton of the mine where the victims are
thought to be. It was terrible report
and was heard all over the town. The
fall must have been very heavy one.
1t had the effect Of driving the rescuers
out of the slope, for the timbers around
them Immediately began to sway and
crack. A fall in the slope may occur
at any moment.
The news Of the second cave-in has
had a most discouraging effect on every
body.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, June 90.-There are
SO men. living or dead, imprisoned in
the depths OF the doomed mine. This
is the official number, and there is no
reason TO think it is incorrect. The
wives of FIVE Hungarians declare that
these men, too, are in the mine, but
this is disputed by the time-keeper, who
says that the Hungarians drew their
pay last week and went to Pittsburg
to work in the soft coal mines They
simply deserted their families, but their
wives do not believe ii.
At s o'clock tonight the situation
was more encouraging than it has been
at any time since the cave-in. At that
bo,,r tho MOI, -,rbo bod beap OF ryOrlr
since o'clock came out, and the s
o'clock shift went on duty. The after
noon men reported that they had reach
ed the edge Of the fallen rock and had
begun to load it in cars, which are
shifted to the head Of the slope by a
stationary engine. The point where
the men are supposed 70 be is sti,l 600
feet beyond. The night shift continues
the work of loading debris. The gas
is not so bad as ii has 1n. and there
is no water flow in tht nine. One of
the miners said they IA come across
tools Of various kind which had been
used by miners.
1t is the general opinion that SuDt.
Langan's body will be the first recov-
ered as it is thought he lies nearest
the opening. Langan was last seen at
the shanty at the foot of the slope
The bore hole which was started in
the Clear Spring mine. which adjoins
the Twin shaft, to pierce the pillar Of
100 feet Of solid coal between the work
ings Of the two mines, has not proved
as successful as was hoped When the
drill was in about 35 feet it struck rock
and had to be abandoned.
At noon to-day a new hoe was
started. Calculations were made from
the maps Of both cOllieries. and it was
hoped that the figuring would be SO
close as to bring the hole out into the
workings Of the Twin colliery.
