But Rambling Story Failed to

Judge HowelPs desk in the First

Joseph Sisco, a carpenter, accused OF
having purloined the tools from the
shop of A. d. Schoonover, 256 Market
street.
Sisco says he lives at 5 Columbia
street, is married and the father Of
four children. He sorrowfully added
that his family. was at home without
any food. In this he was corroborated
by the man to whom Sisdo gave a
pawn ticket, and went to Jersey City,
secured the tools and then notified the
police.
Mr.. ~Schoonover said his tools had his
name stamped on them. Those Sisco's
pawntickets called for had no marks
of any kind, but one of the planes
stolen had a part missing, and Mr..
S~choonover furnished this link, which
fitted the tool exactly.
When asked where he got the tools
Slsco told a story of a man he met in
Jersey City asking him to pawn them,
but failed to explain why he didn't give
the pawn ticket back to Smith.
He was fined SIS and went to jail be-
cause he didn't have the money.

Rescued Men and Boys Dig

ONLY DEATH DUE TO FALL

No Demonstration as Miners

SHAMOKIN, Pa, Feb. 1S.-sAll but
one of the twenty-eight men and boys
who were entombed yesterday in the
MidvaIey colliery We're rescued early
this morning. Frank Orlosk. miner
of Midvalley, fell down a chute, after
the accident, and was killed.
The men We're entombed by a number
of pillars collapsing, causing a gang
way to close in. When the miners were
imprisoned, they gathered in a long,
well ventilated gallery, and made plans
as to the best means of digging their
way through the blockade. They had
picks and shovels, and began work
without delay. They could hear sharp
raps on the steam pipe running through
the drift, and felt certain of being res
cued. When the rescuing party pence
trated to the entombed G it was
found they had dug for a great distance
through the fall of coal.
There We're but few persons at the
entrance to the drift when the rescued
men reached the surface, and they
quickly made their way to their homes,
showing no bad effect from their expe-
rience.
Enfombed for "a Hours.
The crash by which the miners were
penned in took place about 1880 yes
terday morning, and a rescue party,
headed by the inside foreman, William
Singleton, began work at once. AS it
turned out, the miners inside We're in
less danger than their comrades seek
ing to release them.
While officials say there is no danger
from gases the air when it strikes the
barricade soon resolves itself into pois-
onous vapor. -Four hundred men were
soon working in the three rescue par
ties. Within the mine the men were
again divided into squads of fifteen and
twenty, and only allowed to work hf-
teen minutes at a stretch, when they
returned to the mouth of the drift for
air and rest.
