CLOUDBURST FLOODS A NINE.
Firty.six Miners Are Imprisoned. but All
Are Finally Rescued.

UTICA, June Ala cloudburst descended
on the village Of Clinton to-day and thu
resulting food imprisoned ffty-six miners
who we're at work in the franklin iron
mines over quarter Of mile from the
exit. Some of the men waded out, some
swan out and a number of the men escaped
by an airshaft. There are always small
streams OF water running through tina
bottom Of the Franklin mines. and at times
the volume Of water increases whoa there
is downpour of rain on the surface.
Shortly after noon to-day cloudburst
struck the village and within ten minutes
the streams in the mines began to rise at a
tremendous rate. The miners dropped
their picks and shovels and made for the
exit of the shaft. Before they had covered
200 feet the water had risen to the arm
pits of the fifty-six men and desperate
situation confronted them.
About half the miners were able to swim,
and divesting themselves of such clothing
as it was possible for them to remove they
padded toward the exit. Their less for
tunate fellows, who were unable to swim
or reach the airshaft, caught hold Of pro-
tr,Iding lodges of rock and hung on for
dear life, while half dozen grabbed
hold of mules swimming toward the mine
opening and so reached safety.
The alarm was sounded by those who
managed to gain the exit to the shaft and
those still in the workings were soon res
cued Not life was lost. The damage to
the mines and throughout the village Of

HE DISABLED RAILROAD SIGNALS.
Wire Thief strips New York Central
Cut-Arrested for Felony.

On Thursday last John Ward. who lives
at the Empire Lodging House in Fast l23d
street. stole 1900 feet Of electric wire out Of
the New York Central cut between fremont
and Claremont Park. The wire was used
to set the automatic signals from l85th
street and 1s3d street.
Ward was found at daylight with the
wire in his possession. He would not tell
where he had got it. The police thought
it was telephone wire, and they notified the
telephone company. The telephone com
pany said it had not lost any wire, and on
Saturday Ward was discharged.
1t was not until last night that the police
learned what damage Ward might have
done by stealing the wire Then Hiram
C. Williams, superintendent Of signals of
the New York Central road told the police
that it was only by very small margin
that an incoming express train had missed
smashing into another express the morn
ing after Ward stole the wire. If it had not
been daylight, there surely would have been
a collision. The loss Of the wire put the
automatic sig nails between fremont and
Claremont stations out OF business and tied
up the suburban express trains for three
hours
Yesterday Ward was arrested again, this
time for felony.
