Twin Shaft at Pittston may be taken out alive.
The rescuing party. who were Mt work from 0
o'clock last night until O'Clock this morning,
on coming to the surface reported to Mine
Foreman O'Bren that they heard rapping on
the rails OF tho gangway road, which may have
been caused by some of the entombed men.
The rappings were clear and distinct as II some
one had struck the rail with hard substance.
Tho supposed signal WAS answered by the res
cuers In the same manner. After short silence
tho answer came clear and distinct.
The sound seemed to come a distance Of some
three hundred feet from where tho rescuers
were at work. When this news reached the
surface there ere only a few persons at the head
OF tho shaft. Dut in short time 1t was spread
Throughout the city OF Pittston, and Mt daybreak
an immense crowd gathered, among them rela-
tiyes and friends of the victims in whose hearts
hope had awakened. Further news from the
pit was watched for UP to 5 O'Clock this evening,
but beyond the fact that tho rappnGS wero
heard there were no further developments.
At o'clock tonight the rescuers report that
in their opinion they are within 400 feet of the
entombed men. The shifts have been increased
from twenty mon to thirty-hve who are relieved
every half hour. They are still cutting through
the rock and progressing more rapidly than at

They Strongly Object to the Civil Code Bil
as II Reintes to Them.
BERLIN. July "a women's congress
sembled in the Concert House in Berlin on Tues-
day, at which 1900 persons. mostly women,
were present. The congress made special pro-
tests against the provisions Of the Governments
Civil Code bill particularly affecting women.
The proceedings were remarkable for the un-
wonted fervor with which they were conducted
and the enthusiasm which the resolutions and
speeches provoked.
Resolutions passed protesting against
the continued depriving OF women OF their econ
omic independence. against the relations Of
married women to their husbands presented
by the code. against the provision that tho
goods possessed by woman shall become tho
property OF the man she marrius. against the
provision that mnthers shall not have guardian
rights over thefr children and against the re-
fusal OF the law to give illegtimate children
full claims upon their fathers.
Among the surprisingly large list OF Ia dies
who sent messages of sympathy to the congress
were Frau Won Ehrhardt, wife of the Burgo-
master of Munich: the Countess Won Waid-
burg-SyrgeDstein. Baroness Won Schlemitz,
Baroness Won der Decken. and the Countess
Victoria Buten OF Hanover. No such demon
stration of women has ever been held In Ger
many before. and the general opinion is that Its
Importance and influence cannot DO wholly tg-
nored by the authorities.

tective McGinty saw the girl come out OF a
clump OF bushes and speak to a little boy. He
ask ed the girl what she was doing in the bushes.
and she gave him an evasive answer. McG!nty

The little fellow said the girl was his sister. and
that she had lost her pool tbook in the morning
some here in that vicinity and was searching

Mciiinty arrested the girl and took her to the

Republican State PoIitca Will Begin to

Speaker Hamilton Fish spent yesterday at
the Oriental Hotel. Manhattan Beach. as the
guest of ex-senator Platt. Other statesmen
who saw Mr.. Plat were Congressman Quigg
and Thurlow Weed Barnes. Tho latter is stay
ing Mt the Oriental. Chairman Hackett OF the
State Committee was rather expected. but did
not make his appearance.
In fact although the Republican State Com
mittco is TO meet at the Fifth Avenue Hotel to-
morrow ut noon, not n single member OF that
body from up the state had got to town last
night When they do get here there will be the
livelie.t lot OF gossip about the posssele candi-
date OF the party FOR Governor. Mr.. Fish's visit

there IL q lot Of favorite sons In the candidate
business just now. and their boomers will all be
in town tomorrow.
Some objection has been raised TO holding he
State Convention earlier than the first week in
September. The point made by the objectors is
that they do not want to hold two sets o! pri-
mareS and conventions in their counties and
Assembly districts. one to elect delegates 10 the
State Convention md the other to nominate
candidates for Congress. Assembly. and county
officers.
They say that August is too early to put these
local candidates in tho field. as II would make
the campaign altogether too long. This objec-
ton is not general. and it may not control the
action OF the committee. As matters look now,
the Convention is likely to be held in the last
week of August.
