Several Miners Entombed Four
Days Rescued at Last.
HOW They MANAGED
Were Almost Frozen to Death. One
OF The Imprisoned Men, Took
Charge Of the Party-They Built
Hut From Ties and Slept Most
OF the Time-Sccnes at the Mines

The seven miners entombed in the
Foustwell mine Of the Berwind-
White company, near Johnstown, Pa.
last Saturday, were rescued Tuesday
night, after nearly four days Of hero
ic work by the rescurers. The
men were alive though almost frozen
from the cold and starved from lack
of food. The rescurers who came to
their place Of imprisonment first
were Stoney Roden and Charles Rean
They waded through water up to
their necks. Several times they
passed within a few inches Of the
mine roof. They were almost par
alyzed when they reached the men.
Each carried two bottles Of milk and
brandy and gave it to the men spar
ingly.
The rescuers began work at once
afr the mind was flooded last Sat
urday. Pumps were set going. More
than 1000 gallons Of water were
taken from the mine every minute,
day and night. 1t was not until Mon
day morning that the pumps began
to gain on the water. The work of
the rescuers necessitated great brav-
cry. Some of them were forced to
stop working because of the mental
condition. The noise Of the pumps,
the splash Of the water and the excit-
ing surroundings, shattered their
nerves. Women and children crowd
ed about the opening Of the mine
and hampered them in their work.
They were kept from harm only
through the use of force. The pray
ers and cries to the entombed were
narrowing. Mrs. Bolva, wife of one
Of the miners, stood weeping at the
mouth of the mine and calling Tor
her husband. Her father, "a years OF
age, kept up chants and prayers for
the man, never ceasing for 72 hours.
Their case was not an exception.
The rescued men were fond IN
the highest point of the shaft. Bolya,
one of the members Of the lmpr1s-
oned party, had the men well In
hand. When be found they were
suffering from the cold, he ordered
them to pull ties from the water and
build a hut. There they lived for
four days in comparative comfort.
Only one of the miners lamps was
kept burning. When that one burn
ed out another was lighted. Thus
the men were no in utter darkness.
They could see the water sinking
inch by inch, and hear the roar OF
the pumps. They tapped frequently
on the air pipes to let the rescuers
know that they were alive and to
spur them to determined efforts. The
reason the tappings were not made
more often was that the men spent
most of their time sleeping in their
living tomb. When rescued and Ia
ken to the hospital, it was found
that they had suffered from expos
ure. Their good condition was ac-
counted for from the fact that they
we're cheerful all the time of their
IMPRISONMENT, even though they had
little reason to think they would ever
400 their families again.

Bishop Burgess, Of the diocese OF

ate. but his condition since MS re-
turn home has been poor.
Miss Whaley, the missing young

In an Explosion at Canton, China,
on Thursday.
HUNDREDS WOUNDED.
Fifteen Buildings Razed, Scores Sef-
iously Wrecked, and Section Of
Massive City Wall Thrown Down.
Residents in Foreign Quarter Not
Hurt. Pagoda Escapes. Heavy
Property Loss.

AAopSASy AOSos
Poor old China is always in trou-
bic. Very great destruction Of life
and property was caused at Canton
Thursday by an explosion Of a gun
powder magazine
Twenty-one bodies have already
been recovered from the ruins. Hun
dred Of persons were injured.
Fifteen buildings were razed to
the ground, and over a hundred were.
seriously wrecked.
A section two hundred feet long Of
the massive city wall was thrown
down. The historical, many-storied
pagoda escaped with slight injuries.
Officials and stats of the hospitals
are doing their best to succor the
sufferers. In the Shamien surburb,
where the foreigners live, the shock
caused by the explosion was felt, but
the residents were unharmed.
Some idea of the force Of the ex-
plosion may be gathered from the
fact that roofs Of houses a mile dis
tant from the exploded magazine
were blown off.
A number Of important Chinese and
foreign mercantile estab blishments
were completely demolished.
Bodies recovered from the ruins,
in the vicinity Of the magizine were
shockingly mutilated. Many corpses
were without heads.
The officer In charge Of the maga-
zine was among those killed, and
when his body was recovered pipe
was found clutched In his hand,
which suggests the possible cause Of
the explosion.
