Washington, April S0.-Three cases
involving freight rates on cotton piece

ENTONIBED FIVE! DAYS
seven Miners Who Were Cut of by
Sudden Rush Of Water Rescued
Last Night.

Sudden Rush of Water Rescued
Last Night.
Johnstown, Pa, April 30.-After be-
ing entombed since last Friday at
noon in the Berwind White Coal Co.
mine No. So, at Foustwell, near here,
the seven miners who were shut on
from the world by a sudden rush OF
water caused by the breaking OF a
wall of an abandoned mine, were res
cued at 10 o'clock tonight.
The men were greatly exhausted.
owing to their weakened condition 1t
was decided not to bring them out
until after the mine has been drain
ed.
Never in the history Of the mining
region has such a joyous scene been
witnessed as when the unfortunate
men were reached. Hundreds of peo-
pie. who gathered about watching the
work of the rescue, cheered, laughed
and cried.
The men We're reached at 10 o'clock
by Stiney Rodon and Charles Ream,
who made a dash through 80 feet OF
water-filled heading. Earlier in he
Gay John BOlya, a brother of one OF
the imprisoned men, and three COM
rades made a futile attempt 10 reach
the imprisoned men. These men
came back half drowned and reported
that portions of the heading were
still completely filled with water and
that more pumping would have TO be
done before the imprisoned men could
be reached, The efforts and pumping
We're then redoubled. At 10 o'clock
the water had so far gone down that
it was resOlevd 10 make n more
attempt to break through TO the over
case where it was believed that the
unfortunate men were still alive.
Rodon and Ream volunteered for the
service. Like the party that set forth
earlier in the day they left the
pumping crew and plunged out into
the water and darkness. 1t was over
an hour before either man was heard
from and then Ream came swim
ming back through the heading
bringing the first news from the i'm
prisoned ~ The efforts had near
~ exhaused Ream. He reported that
the men were alive and all in
good shape but until more pumping
was done the passage to the place
where they had taken refuge was i'm
passable TO those who could not
swim. r'. =
Ream and his comrade carried 10
the imprisoned men simply a flask OF
brandy and a little water.
