BIG MINE HORROR
INSPECTORS SAY MEN ENTOMBED
AT FAYETTE CITY, PA, WERE
KILLED BY EXPLOSION.
NAOMI MINE is WRECKED.
Crowd of Agonized Relatives Surround
Shaft and Cry Out for Their
Loved Ones.
CAUSE OF DISASTER is NOT KNOWN

PITTSBURG, Pa, Dec. 2.-The
number entombed in the Naomi mine of
the United Coal company of this city,
located one and a-half miles back of
Monongahela city, thirty-One miles from
this place, is now said to be fifty. Hope
that the men will be rescued alive is
gradually dwindling.
At noon the large force of rescuers
had only succeeded in reaching the nine
teenth entry and no sign of the en-
tombed mine had been found. There
are thirty-seven in all and the men
were working far back in the mine when
the explosion occurred last night.
The work of rescue is progressing
slowly and with much difficulty. Owing
to the poisonous fumes the rescuers are
unable to remain in the entries more
than fifteen minutes at a time.
Keep Big Fan Going.
Several members of the relief crews
are in precarious condition from in
haIing the deadly aft6r-damp. The big
air fan is still going, but little relief IS
obtained owing to the heavy volume OF
the afterdamp.
The fact that the after-damp prevents
rescue work is taken as an indication
that every man in the mine has persisted.

FISHING SLOOP ASHORE.
Forty in Danger on Stranded Boat
at ROcka1Cav Inlet.

The police were called on last night TO 20
to the aid of the auxiliary fishing sloop Eliza
Rhodes which went aground in a gale ia Rock
away Inlet, about three miles from Barren
Island. with more than forty men aboard early
last evening. A launch and a police boat were
at once dispatched to the place. where two
sIoops chartered by the Canarsie station were
already at work Two reported to
have been washed overheard and to have been
rescued with difficulty
The Eliza Rhodes left the fishing banks yes
terday and was her way to her berth at
Canarsie when her engine broke down. She
was drifting helplessly when the Dixie, a sloop
from Bergen Beach, hove in sight and offered
assistance. which was gladly accepted. A
hawser was made fast and everything went
we'll until the boats reached Rockaway Inlet,
where the gale was kicking up lively sea and
progress became difficult Suddenly the hawser
parted
With no motive power Of her own the Eliza
Rhodes was at the mercy of the waves, which
dashed over her bow and carried two of the
crew into the sea With difficulty small boat
was launched and the men were picked up. but
in the mean time the boat drifted helplessly
toward shoal. Several unsuccessful attempts
to make fast another hawser were made before
the sloop finally went aground
The Dixie stood to- and. finding that all at
tempts to pull the grounded boat off the sand
bar were frutless. began the work Of rescuing
the crew. This was difficult because of the
waves, which dashed against and over both
boats and threatened TO overturn the dqries
sent TO the rescue. The crew of the Dixie man
aged TO get a small boat across the waves twice
and to bring off twelve of the men. With dark
ness coming on further attempts seemed fruit
less so the Dixie started for Bergen Beach,
promising to send help.
The first news of the accident was received at
the Canarsie police station. The launch there IS
undergoing repairs Consequently two sloops
were dispatched. in charge of Petroman
Matthews and the other in charge of Patrolman
Symcn, both Of whom thoroughly familiar
with the inlet. When the boats reached the
Eliza Rhodes it was found that they were of
too great draught to be of any assistance. The
same thing was true of the Patrol, which
reached the place soon afterward.
