STORIES OF THE NINE
AND WORK OF RESCUE
Especial Star Correspondence.)

Scofeld, May 8, a. m.-The men
who have been found dead in punches
are those who, knowing that destruc-
ton was upon them, rushed from their
rooms" and the cross-entrfes to the
main tunnels. In the tunnel No they
were found in punches, for these hav-
ing heard the explosion, ran at once
In No. 1 many of the miners did not
know what was coming upon them,
50 they did not escape the deadly after
damp in time.
The first sixty-seven men who were
taken from No. I were not SCARED nor
marked. From their appearance and
the calm expressions of their faces it
seemed that they. had died in peace
They were the victims Of the damp.
But everyone killed in No. 4 was
bruised, crushed and burned The
flames and violence had killed them.
Mangled Bodies Found
Today there were brought from No.
I. from its cross entries and rooms,
over twenty men who had been burned
and mangled to death. These were
mostly from the east end of the fifth
and sixth raises or cross entries, which
join similar cross-entries from tunnel f.
"7he great explosion had made it's way
down No. and had branched off into
these open cross entries, reaching No.
1. 1t was the men employed in such
places on No. who were brought out
mangled on Wednesday. How many
more of them yet remain is not known.
Numberless rooms" are yet unex-
plored and wherever the rescuers go in
them they find bodies
But One Mine
Though this property is sometimes
spoken of as two mines, it is in reality
only one, with two tunnels, both run
ming south about three Fights of a
mile apart. The old tunnel. which has
been worked for twenty. years or more,
is No. l, and the comparatively new
one is No. 4. No. 1, which enters the
mountain Of Goa! just a few feet above
the level of the railroad track near the
old Winter Quarters boarding house,
runs in almost due south for two miles
or more. There are at long intervals,
cross entries, raises, levels or dips, as
they are variOusly called. and are in
fact cross tunnels. They run out vary
ing distances. some 800 feet, others a
half mile. On the east side of tunnel
No. 1 there are eight of these raises
or levels. Several of them, the fifth and
sixth and seventh, run over to connec-
lions with croes-entries going west
from No. 4. Thus it is possible to go in
one tunnel and come out the other. But
the tunnels themselves at their ends
do not connect. They keep on running
south into the great blanket of coal.
All these different underground rami-
f1cations are through this immense de-
post of coal of an average thickness of
fourteen feet and covering an area very
large, but the exact extent of which il
unknown.
How Miners Work.
The miners except company men.
work in different places and in pairs.
They work at the faces or the ends of
the main tunnels and at the same
places on the cross-ontries digging out
coal. They blast and pile the coal torn
down and picked out into cars which
are hauled out by horses On each car

Will Charge Excess Fare

Owing to the necessarily limited
capacity of its Black Diamond express
and It's desire to comfortably accommo-
date all Its passengers, the Lehigh
Valley officials have determined to
charge an extra fare upon this train.
This addition, which will go into effect
today, varies from Is to so cents be-
tween different points. The Black Dia-
mond is becoming daily more and more
popular among the patrons of tho Le-
high Valley, and it's capacity has of late
been sorely taxed. Its popularity is
due largely to the magnificent and COM
Portable equipment of the train, which
is always kept up to the very latest
standards of excellence.-PhilaR Record.

seven Mon Guilty of Murder.

Murder in the second degree was the
verdict reached on Saturday by the jury
in the case OF seven Lithuanians who
we're on trial charged with the murder
Of Joseph Rutkowski, of William Penn,
Schuylkill county, last September. The
case was closed after spirited legal
battle. The jury was out all night.
Rutkowskl was murdered, it was al
legged, as the result of conspiracy of
a secret society with which all the de-
PENDANTS were identified, while their
victim was member of rival secret
organization.
Rollas Bubnis has been convicted Of
the crime. The seven defendants In
this case are held as accessories. At a
trial last November all were convicted
OF murder in the first degree, but were
given new trial

Pawnee Bill's Wild West

Pawnee Bills Wild West Show OPEN
ed its second week at the Charles River
park yesterday, with the usual after
noon and evening performances, and
with an increased attendance. The
afternoon program was carried out
In full and the show was greatly APP
preciated by the audiences. In the
reproduction of wild life on the frontier
the spectators witness genuine Mexi-
can Hippodrome and Indian Village,
and Indian Museum with quaint relics,
and the congress of rough riders of the
world, spectacle of rarity and deep
interest.
Not the least OF the strong attractions
are the sharpshooting contests in which
May Lille, the champion woman shot,
figures prominently. During the per-
formances the spectators will see the
strange accoutrements worn and carried
by Kit Carson in 40.
The show itself has so many good fea-
lures that 1t Is hard to particulariZe
them. There is so much that is in
structive and novel In the entertain
ment and so attractive that an after
noon or evening passed in the company
of Pawnee Bill and his associates should
prove alike agreeable to young and old .
Major Gordon w. Lille is better
known the world oyer now as "Pawnee
Bill This sobriquet he earned by
serving the government among the
Pawnees and by having been chosen by
that band of warriors and useful nation
as its own white chief and Interpreter.
Boston, Has, Duly Globe.
Pawnee Bill's Combined Shows, His
tOrical Wild West Hippodrome, is with
out any exception the best we have
seen for many years. 1t is pleasing
and refined entertainment. At the
afternoon performance their vast can
vas enclosed park was packed, and in
the evening hundreds were unable to
obtain admission Washington, d. c.,

Miss May Lille is marvellous shot
with a Winchester rife. Her feats of
craftsmanship were applauded most
vigorously by the thousands who saw
her. Baltimore, Nd, American.
Pawnee Bills Historical Wild West be-
gins today the sixth week of its very
successful season. The shooting is most
remarkable, and other features are
exciting and startling. Miss May Lille
is II wonder.-Phita. Item.
