MOURNED FOR
DEAD, BUT IS
ALIVE
Miner Who Was EntOmbed
Almost Under Ills Own
Home BraVely Rescued.

POTTSVILLE, Pa, Nov. 13.-Im-
prisoned for eighty-seven hours several
hundred feet beneath the surface of
the earth, almost directly under his
own home, where his wife and children
mourned for him as dead, Michael Nc
Cabe, of Gilberton, was today taken
from his tomb in the Draper mine
barely alive after one of the most mar
velous rescues in the history of an
thracite coal mining.
Since Saturday afternoon, when the
top of the chamber in which he was
working caved in and caused a rush of
culm and water from the surface, re-
lays of worl1men toiled INCREASINGLY to
reach him.
Shortly after midnight the rescuers
detected a scratching noise, which told
them that McCabe was stin living. and
with renewed vigor fresh reliefs were
put TO work, and at o'clock this
morning he was reached.
He had not changed his position from
the time the rush occurred, as he feared
that by moving about another rush OF
culm might start, which would end his
life When rescued he said he thought he
had been imprisoned for at least a week
and was so weak from want of food and
water that he could scarcely speak. He was
removed to his home. where the house Of
mourning was changed to one of rejoicing
Arrangements were made last night tc
bore a hole in the hope of reaching the
entombed miner and supplying him with
water and food until his rescue could be
made in case he still lived.

POWER TO GET ANSWERS
POWER TO GET ANSWERS
Government Wants TO Find Out
About Various Combinations
and Consultations of Rail-
roads in Violation of Law.
Questions in Dispute.

NEW YORK, Nov 13.-Arguments on
the Interstate Commerce Commissions
motion to compel e. H. Hartman to
answer certain questions put to him
during the commissions investigation
of railroad affairs were made before
Judge Hough in the United States
Court today. The government was rep
resented by Frank B. Kellogg, who has
conducted the commissions investiga-
tion into railroad affairs, While Judge
r. s. Lovett appeared for Mr.. Harri-
man.
Judge Hough said he would allow
each side three and one-half hours to
present its case.
United States District Attorney
Stimson opened for the Interstate
Commerce Commission. He said that
the commission before starting the in
vestigation during which Mr.. Hartman
was asked the questions which he has
declined to answer, had stated the OBJ
ject of the investigation. This object,
Mr.. Stimson said, was to inquire into
various combinations and consolida-
tions of an alleged violation of the
law by certain railroads engaged in IN
terstate commerce.
Mr.. Stimson pointed out that Union
Pacific controlled the line of roads
from Omaha to Portland, and the
Southern Pacific Company a line of
road from New Orleans to Portland.
/ He said that Mr.. Hartman had auto
cratic powers over the Union Pacific
! Southern Pacific and Oregon lines; tha
/ no was. In fact, the Union Pacific sys.
| tenn. Mr.. Stlmson proceeded to out
line the rise of the Hartman system
and said that among stocks bought
were Alton, Illinois Central Atchison
Baltimore and Ohio, st. Paul and 9th
ers. The Union Pacific invested nearly
$3.50, 900 In this way, he said, and
Mr.. Hartman took the entire respon-
sibility on his own shoulders.
Mr.. Stimscn referred to purchases OF
the various stocks by Union Pacific, and
the refusal of Mr.. Hartman to give
answers to questions He said all of these
questions were merely to ascertain If any
stock was bought for Union Pacific from
its officers OF directors.
The position Of the commission, said the
district-attorney is that 1t is standing
committee of Congress vested with in
quisitorial powers. Mr.. Stimson then cited

TO
SHOOT AT A
POLICEMAN
Mcguire Piuions Stephens
by Wrist Before lie Could
Draw Gun--HeaVily Armed

While being driven to the station in
the Fourth Precinct station patrol
wagon Harry Stephens came within
IAN ace Of escaping last night. He
talked freely and begged for cigarettes
and a chew of tobacco. When Police
man Mcguire, who was in charge of
the patrol wagon, accommodated him
with the latter he exclaimed, "Now,
I'll shoot you!" and at the same time
made motion as If to draw some
thing from his rear pocket.
Mcguire was on the alert, however.
and, as quick as a flash, he grabbed
Stephens by the wrist and held it while
another man searched the prisoner.
Much importance is placed in the ar
rest of Stephens, who is 33 years old
and lives at 279 Rroome street. He was
arrested about o'clock by Policeman
Patterson, of the Fourth Precinct Po-
lice Station. At the time he had a
loaded 22-calibre revolver. a hardwood
billy" a stiletto and key, but threw
the pistol away when pursued.
A postal card addressed to the late
Chief of Police John H. Adams was
also found In Stephenss pocket. 1t
was sent to the late chief by Chief of
Police kirkpatrick, of Troy, N. Y. and
requested him to aid in the capture of
one George Dixon, a notorious convict
and law-breaker wanted in Troy. The
postal card had a printed description
of Dixon as we'll as his record and
other important information.
Stephens would not explain how the
postal card, which bore a date more
than a year back, happened to be in his
possession.
He was arrested by the Fourth Pre-
cinct police on March 81. 1899, for break
ing, entering and stealing. and con-
taken for the rogues' gallery. When
he was released he was rearrested by
Plalnclothesman Kaas.
Stephens's arrest was brought about
last night by his Wild West tactics in
the vicinity of Sixteenth avenue and
South Nineteenth street. Policeman
Patterson was on duty in the vicinity
of the South Tenth Street Public
School when a citizen informed him
that a man had threatened to kill
woman on the avenue. Patterson hur-
rled to the scene, and when Stephens
spied him he fled and threw his re-
volver into the vacant lot He yaulted
several fences, but Patterson finally
overlook him.
1t developed that Stephens and sew
eral others were at odds with persons
who live near the scene of the arrest,
and they were in the act of settling
their troubles when the policeman ar
rived Before the latter came crowd
congregated, and for a time it looked
as if an attempt might be made to
wrest the prisoner from Patterson. The
latter, with his nightstick drawn.
threatened anyone who attempted to
interfere with him. Policeman Spinner
then appeared and helped to disperse
the crowd.
Judge Herr held stephens in the
Fourth Precinct Court this morning.

Jury. He was unable to furnish $1,000

Gives First Alarm.

Seven people had a narrow escape
from being overcome by smoke in a
fire In the store OF James X. Murga-
troyd, a taxidermist, at 300 Market
street, shortly after midnight last
night.
The fire was caused by an over
heated stove setting fire to chair
nearby, which communicated with the
floor. and sent volumes of smoke into
the hallway leading to the upper floors,
where Mrs. Murgatroyd and the other
members of the family were sleeping.
Mrs. Murgatroyd slept in q room on
the floor above the store, and was
the first in the house to detect the
smoke. Jumping out of bed she opened
q door IN the hallway, and as she did
SO was met with volume of smoke
that sent her feeling back Quickly
regaining her presence of mind she
closed the door and then aroused the
other members of the family on the
same floor
Mrs. Murgatroyd raised a window
and cried "Firei" Her screams were
heard by Policeman Decker. He
turned in an alarm from box 324, and
IN rev minutes OneIllCai company
No. l and the Salvage Corps were the
first apparatuses to arrive.
Women at the open window cried out
to be saved. but the firemen told them
to remain where they We're. Then the
chemical men broke open the store door
and went in with line, while the
Salvage Corps men groped their way
up the stairs, and succeeded in open
ing a window at the end of the hall
way.
In few minutes the hall was cleared
of the smoke, which relieved the anx
iety of the occupants, who We're suffer
ing considerably from the smoke.
The fire in the store was quickly put
out. with little damage. An investiga-
ton Of the cause showed that the chair
had been left too near the stove.
Mr. Murgatroyd was not at home. as
he had gone to the country for several
days to hunt for some specimens of
the feathery tribe.

HIRES HIMSELF
OUT AT IS AS
A MAID
Veteran Washed Dishes and
Scrubbed Floors fol. His
Keep" Accuses Woman.

James d. Cole, an aged gray-haired
man, who gave his age as S5 years,
was complainant in the Second Precinct
Police Court this morning against Mrs.
Mary Gulick, of 492 Broad street. The
woman was charged with stealing $5
and railroad ticket from the old man
yesterday. The story told by the old
man was not believed by Acting Judge
oehring and he dismissed the COM
plant.
Cole said that he was employed by
Mrs. Gulick, who conducts boarding
house at 492 Broad street, to wash
dishes, scrub the floor, make beds and
do other work about the house. She
gave him no compensation other than
sleeping room and his meals, he said.
He is a pensioner, and when he got his
pension money recently he bought a
ticket to Elmira He claimed that he
went to the house yesterday, and after
some words with woman there, he
was put in a little room with a cot in
it and compelled to stay there for some
time, during which he fell asleep. When
he awoke he found that his ticket and
$5, every cent he had, were gone. Mrs.
Gulick alleged that the old man was
drunk yesterday, but he positively de-
clared that he has not touched any
kind of liquor in years. The old man
is deaf and was unable to understand
what Mrs. Gulick said about him, and
when told that the case was dismissed
he turned away, and, with tears run
ming down his cheeks, mur1nured that
he did not know what to do when an
old veteran could not get justice in
the country for which he had fought.
1t is said that several Grand Army
veterans will take the matter up and
see if the story of the old soldier is
true
