Mining Engineer Loses His Life in the
First Rescue Party.

Mining Engineer Loses His Life in the
First Rescue Party.
AS soon as the rumble of the eX-
plOSion and crash at the pit mouth
startled the little village the wives
and children of the men below rushed
to the scene Of the disaster but to
gain no encoura cement. There was
no way to get into the deep workings.
The cages that let the men into the
mines and brought them out again
when the days work was done were
both demolished. All day long there
was a jam of waiting women and
children about the mouth Of the pit.
1t was not until 4 p. III. that the first
attempt at rescue was made. This
was Il failure, as the two men who
volunteered were driven back by the
foul air.
Shortly after .. IN. Mining En-
gineer Selwyn M. Taylor and one Of
his assistants signalled for the engip-
eer to lower them into the shaft. Tay-
Tor is still down there. Three times
efforts have been made to reach him,
but so far without avail. Thomas
Wood, one of the first OF the rescue
party hauled to the surface, told his
story Of his trip through the mine.
He said
Il was with Taylor, and we clam
bered over three or four falls. Taylor
laid out the mine anC seemed to know
the way. There was one man alive
at the foot of the shaft. He was sent
up, and then we took the mule path
into the south level We saw two
men who were alive and notified those
back of us and then went ON. We
passed the third, fourth and fifth head
ing, and then through an Overdrift-
into the air shaft. l began to feel
dizzy and sick, and then | saw Taylor
stagger and fall His lantern fell. We
tried to lift him up, but could not car
ry him up, and l made my own way
to safety"
Another rescue party was sent down
and three OF the rescuers, Becker,
Smith, and Walkernerst, when they
returned to the surface, declared that
in their opinion all in the mine out
side of the rescue party are dead, in
Guiding Taylor, the engineer. H. f.
Hutchinson who gave out the lamps
to the miners before they went to
work in the pit, said: "At 80 o'clock,
the time when the whistles blew and
when every one is supposed to be al
work at the mine, l had given out be-
tween $50 and 100 lamps.
THAT was one lamp to man,
Eyes"
Did any one of those lamps come
back?" Not one"

Pittsburg, Jan 2G.-From all that
can be gathered at this hour between
100 and 100 men are lying dead in the
headings and passa geways of the Har
wick mine of the Allegheny Coal com
pany at Cheswick, the result of q ter
rife explosion. Cage after cage has
gone down into the mine and come up
again, but only one miner of all those
that went down to work has been
brought to the surface. The rescued
man is Adolph Gunia, and he is still
in semi-conscious condition at the
temporary hospital in the rude school
house ON the hillside above the mine.
All in the Mine Are Dead.
In addition to the miners who were
at work when the explosion occurred
it is now believed by practically all
of the men of the rescue party who
have come up the 22O-foot vertical
shaft for Il warming and a breath
ing spell that Selwyn NJ. Tay
lor, the Pittsburg mining engin-
eer who plated the mine, and who
was the first to reach the bottom aft
CT the explosion happened, is also now
among the list Of dead. OF those in
the mine all are probably dead.
Blew a Mule from the Mine.
The explosion occurred at $40 a.
M, and the first warning was the sud-
den rumble underground and then
sheet of flame followed up the deep
shaft. Both mine cages were hurled
through the tipple, twenty feet above
the landing stage, and the three men
on the tipple were thrown to the
ground. A mule was thrown high
above the shaft, ana fell dead on the
ground. The injured men were brought
at once to this city, where two of
them, Henry Mayhem, check weigh
man, ard George Mailman, tippleman,
have since died

Several New Haven County Cases.
 Hartford. March s.-Nineteen opinions were handed down by the supreme court Of errors to-day.
 Error is found and judgment is re- versed in the case Of the state of Con- necticut vs. James campane.

The defendant appealed, and the su- preme court decides in his favor
 The court of common pleas is advised in the case of Charlotte Etchells against James Wainwright and wife New Haven county case. Applica- ton for new trial was made by written motion by the court of common pleas, in an action in which judgment having been rendered in favor of the defendants and the plaintiff having given notice of appeal and filed a pro- posed finding of facts but before mak- ing a finding of facts, the trial judge died. The defendants demurred to the motion for new trial, and the ques- tions arising thereon were reserved for the advice of the supreme court. The supreme court advised the court of common pleas to deny the motion.
 Error is found and a new trial granted in the suit of the Union Trust company against McKeon, a New Ha- Ven county action, to foreclose a mort gage.

 A lecture of unusual interest is in- dicated for tonight in the Sheffield lec- ture course. Captain John R. M. Tay- Tor. U. S. A., who was in charge of the bureau of military information for the United States army in the Philippine Islands and who was stationed there three years, will give an illustrated lec- ture bearing upon the revolutionary movement in the Philippines. This lecture will undoubtedly be of great in- terest and will, without question, draw a large audience. Captain Taylor has had unusual opportunity of studying all the documents found in the Philip pines in getting together material for a history of the revolutionary move ment in the islands, and consequently has wealth of data to draw upon in historical sketch of the question.
