had to be cut from their bodies.
 Water, which was the least of the worries of the five entombed miners, for several days of their subterran- can vigil, became a serious problem near the end of their watch. The pumps forced all of the water from the shaft, and as it receded the water flowed from the upper levels down into the street, leaving only the mass of mud and debris.
 When the rescue crews reached the stope where the men were trapped, one of them was just climbing down off an upper ledge, holding in his hand a tobacco can, in which he was attempting to catch water that trickled through the timbers.
 We never gave up," the men said over and over. We could hear the drilling operations all the time, and that gave us heart. It was hard to keep up courage but we managed to somehow"
 After praying repeatedly, the men said they felt themselves ready to die If they failed to hold out until help reached tpem and if death did come, they said they were ready to face it with the knowledge that they were saved"
 Members of the Cobb family were the only relatives present at the mine when the men were brought out. They had been in nearby house and when word spread of the rescue. they arrived in time to see Cobb appear.
 Wives and children of the others were in homes along the road be- tween the mine and Salem. They hastened to the property but SOL diers, under orders to allow no one to approach the hospital tent, kept them behind the roped-off area.
 Watching their loved ones from a distance they waved and threw kisses, laughing and crying.

.fAlk IN FAVOR OF 'RAILR0ADING'
Believes That Sablotsky's Idea
 Is Not Warranted

Criticism of some of the council men in their efforts to abolish what they term "railroading" in the coun- cil was voiced by Alderman Walter R. Falk of the second ward this morning.
 According to Mir. Falk the move ment started by Councilman Samuel Sablotsky to revise the rules of the common council would result in nothing but added red tape" in the workings of the body. He declared that if the meeting of the special committee appointed by the mayor to look into the advisability of changing the rules were held as scheduled last Monday, he would , immediately motion for an adjourn ment for he believed that there was no need of such a change. The meeting was not held, however, be- cause Councilman Samuel Sablotsky was not present.
 He promised he would go through with this plan if the meeting is again called. The committee was ap- pointed by Mayor Gardner c. Weld after a motion to that effect was passed at the council. Councilman Sablotsky, Boyle and several demo- cratic members of the body argued that a law was passed in 1907 dur ing the administration of eX-Mayor George NJ. Landers with the pro- vision that all resolutions from com missions be in the hands of the council in printed form two days be- fore the meeting so that the matters may be studied. Alderman Falk said this morning that it was not a law but rather a suggestion.

in Lakeville only few months later.
 Rev. Timothy Bannon then took up the guiding reins of the parish and he labored for 22 years among the people of the parish. He was one of the most beloved pastors the church ever had. Then came Father John Donohue who was brought to New Britain in 1925. Rev. J. J. Lawlor is the present pastor of the church and he has succeeded to the place in the hearts of the people which was occupied by all his pre- decessors.
 The observance of the 50th birth day of the church next Sunday is not only a Catholic observance in Lakeville, but people of all denom- nations in the to n will take part. It will be one of the biggest events in the history Of the church.

on the significance of the jubilee ob- 'servance.
 Father Donohue will have the sig nal honor of being the celebrant of the solemn high mass because he is the only former pastor of the church who IS stil lamong the living. He was pastor of St. Mary's church, Lakeville, for over 12 years and dur ing that time, endeared himself to the entire township regardless of denomination. He was called to this city by Bishop John J. Milan to suc- ceed the late Rev. Patrick Daily as pastor of St. Joseph's. He served as head of the LakeviHe flock from 1913 to March 1925.
 The church has been peculiarly woven among the names of clergy who have also been connected with New Britain. Besides Father Dono- hue there is Rev. Luke Daly. one of the first pastors of St. Mary's church in this city, who dedicated the Lake, vile church on January 16, 1878.
 The plot of land for the church was purchased by Rev. John J. Me- Cabe in 1869 and in 1875 Rev. Hen- ry Lynch took up his residence there. Lakeville was the parish center with missions at Falls Village and Ca- naan. The corner stone was laid on the feast of Corpus Christi, May 27, 1875 by Very Rev. John Hughes. administrator of the diocese and dedictaed the following year by Father Daily. A convent and school followed under the jealous work of Father Lynch.
 He was succeeded by Rev. P. Fox who served as pastor there for five years. He was transferred to New town in 1891 and succeeded by Rev. Peter Donohue. Father Donohue's pastorate was short lived as he died

Egg Harbor to

Plays Here Saturday-Local
Club Goes to Wine
City Sunday.

Egg Harbor is slated to meet
the Pleasantville ball club at the
Floral avenue grounds tomorrow
afternoon, and the league leaders
are to go to the wine city for
the game Sunday, according to
the announcement of the league
schedule.
Because of the automobile rae
es at Speedway, efforts have been
made by members of the Egg Har-
Dor club to have the game post
poned until Sunday, when a dou-
BILE header would be played. Lo-
cal ball players did not desire to
play the contest in that fashion.
The Wilson team will fight to
retain its place in the league
standing once more. Jeffries, of
Atlantic City, is rated tie with
the local club for first place.
A stronger lineup will go into
the contest this week. The
slump of last Sunday, when Jeff
ries defeated the Mainland nine
at the resort, is believed to have
been caused by shift in the
lineup, due to injury of the sec
ond baseman.

Bridge Over
Thoroughtare
Will Be Built Upon Request
of Citizens of Chelsea
Heights.
Delay Albany Ave. Bridge

In response to requests made
by residents of the Fourth Ward
In Atlantic City, the County
Board of Freeholders has deter
mined to postpone construction
of the Albany avenue bridge until
after a new bridge has been built
over Inside Thoroughfare from
Raleigh avenue and Baltic Ave
nue. to connect lower Chelsea and
Chelsea Heights.
Arguments presented by the
people of Chelsea Heights and
which prompted the Freeholders
to change their plans for the con-
struction of the two bridges were
in effect that there is congestion
of traffic; that the people of
Chelsea Heights require the
bridge to accommodate the nat
ural growth of the section and
they will be in great need unless
the bridge over Inside Thorough
fare is built first.
Some of the members Of the
Board Of Freeholders were reluc-
tant to accede to the change for
the reason that the steps to build
Albany avenue bridge first were
taken after hearings had been
granted to all civic bodies and the
condition of Albany avenue bridge
had been taken into considera-
ton.
The county has already gone
to considerable expense in antici-
patton of the bridge reconstruc-
ton by building the Dorset ave-
nue. detour and by erecting a foot
bridge across the Thoroughfare.
The county engineer has been
instructed to make plans for the
Raleigh avenue bridge and to
submit them for approval to the
War Department and to the State
Board of Commerce and Naviga-
ton. The proposed bridge will
be of the bascule double lift type
with a clearance of 10 feet above
the water when the lifts are
closed. This is sufficient clear
ance to enable the ordinary sized
cabin cruisers to pass.
