scar on his happiness. He told me
that was the first girl that he talked

I told you, did l not that when

Steubenville, Ohio, Oct 3O-After battling their way to within 15O feet or where 20 miners have been impris- oned since yesterday morning, rescue workers were ordered out of the Y &S o. No. ? mine at Amsterdam Ohio, at o'clock this morning by mine of fcials and state mine inspectors who feared an explosion might occur. ac- cordlng to word received here. Hope has been abandoned that the miners are alive.
 Of the 21 miners trapped in the Y. & O. coal mine yesterday when an electric generator exploded and set fire to the main interior only one has made his escape to the surface. He emerged last night, saying he had been pulled to the shaft by his mule while he lay or the floor Of a mine car. He was badly burned.
 Rescue parties worked all night long in the gas filled mine. At two o'clock this morning they had reach ed a point 150 feet distant from en- try number 15, west, in which the 20 miners were supposed to be held pris- oner.
 Fire broke out then behind the res cue party and its members were forced to fight their way through flames and smoke, many narrowly escaping suffocation.
 Subsequent attempts to rescue the entombed men failing, the officials at daYSrea.k ordered the men to leave the mine Coal was afire throughout the entire workings and the mine was filled with gas.
