Probable Some Time Today.

Pottsville. Pa, Feb. Twenty
eight miners were imprisoned ii the
Midvalley colliery near Mount Carmel
this morning by the breaking Of a dam
which had formed IN a drift which
caused a rush Of mud into a gangway
where the men were at work. All
day long a party OF rescuers endeav-
ored to reach the entombed men. and
shortly after O'clock they were en-
couraged by sounds Of digging on the
inside. Later shot was heard indi-
eating that the men are actively at
work to effect their own escape and
that the chances are good.
Among the men entombed are a
number Of experienced miners and 1t
is believed that 1t will be possible to
effect the release Of them unless come
Of them have met death. II
The men had been employed in the
drift driving heading to the sur
face. The heavy rains and thaw Of
the last few days had caused q great
deal Of water to accumulate In the
drift and the pressure became 90
heavy that It finally gave way and q
sea Of mud flowed into the gangway
where the men were at work. Il
filed the gangway for distance Of
about $50 feet and It was necessary to
dig through this barrier. Three diff
ferent rescue parties have been put to
work. It is hoped to be able to get
the men out or give them food and
drink by tomorrow morning.

follows:

Conceding that technical errors were
committed during the hurry Of the
trial, we find no prejudice to the de
fendant. Indeed, 1t seems to us that

not feel that the defendant has reason
