RESCUED FROM IJK.1TH.
Friglitful KxperK-nce of sixteen Pen-
iixylvaniia Jtiners.
Shamoein, Pa., Sept 27. For eight
hours to-day sixteen xavn wen imprieooed
in an old chamber in tbe Hickory Ridge
coal mine, not knowing what second
they would be crushed to death. They
were Cirson Delong, Zacb Hann, Frank
WalthoiT, Daniel Ovster and a dozen
Hungarians and Poles. When they en
tered the mine at 7 o'clock this morning.
Inside Foreman Wil'iam Rhemhardt di
rected I he men to rob (he pillars. This
is considered tbe most dangerous of in
si ie work. A pillar divides one breast
or chamber from another, and after all
tbe coal is taken from tbe chamber tbe
pillar is usually removed. A chain pillar
divided the levels. At the ridge the men
were working on tbe first level and 100
feet of rock and coal lay between it and
tbo second lift, which had been well
worked ont. An hour after I he first pick
bad been sunk into the coal, tbe miners
experienced a tingling sensation in their
feet. It was as though a bunch of nee
dles had been tbru.-t into the soles ot
their feet. They grew dizzy. The bot
torn of the gangway was cracking in
buudreus ot places, while through tbe as
sures came blasts of air and dirt. A vio
lent swaving then ensued, mingled with
a sudden roar and crunching of coal.
Then came a snccession ol reports like an
artillery battery in action. '"There is
danger," shrieked Hann, '"the chain filler
must be running and if we don't get out
of here it means death."
NOT A SECOND TO SPARE.
A rush was made for tbe closed chain
ber. Walthnff was in the rear and was
in the rear and was lilted to a place ol
safety just as the bottom of the place
dropped and revealed a yawning chasm
10U teet deep and 'JO feet wide. When
the pillar disappeared the men on the
lower level had escaped. Tbe imprisoned
men were surrounded on all sides by
falling coal. They went op the chamber
as far as possible and had a conference.
They found there was no possible way of
exit other than the way tbey bad entered,
and there was an impassable chasm be
tween them. Suddenly tbey beard
voices. "Are you alive?" cried Foreman
Rbeinhardt, who with Tom Llewellyn
and David Williams, had gained an en
trance to the gangway as soon as the
rush occurred. The rescuing party was
ocerjoyid on learning tbe men were sale.
How to get the minus k cross tbat abyss
was tbe next thing in order. A rope was
procured and for four bours RheiBhardt
and bis men tried to cast it across. Some
times it wouid land on a treacherous
ledge almost within reach, and then it
would go whistling down in the darkness
and dust. Once it fell no a rock which
seemed solid, but as Dan Oyster was
about to seize it tbe rock and rope went
down. Tbe men grew timid and glancsd
into one another's faces with fear, Tbey
were almost without oil and bad only
what was in their cans; was it to bv a
second Jeansville horror and yet within
shouting distance of rescuers?
RESCUED AT LAST.
These gloomy meditations were cut
short by a whHing noise and the cmck
of a blow. The prayed-for rope had
fal;t- at their feet. "Fasten your end of
that lope to the timber." thev beard a
voice cry, "and we will do the same."
Once stcurely tied about tbe post the
men consulted as to who should make
the attempt to cross the chasm.hand over
band, suspended from tbe rope. It did
not take long for Carson Delong to make
up bis mind to try it, and bidding his
companions good by, tbe intrepid fellow
flung himself into space. Hand over
band be went on his journey. Tbe rope
cracked and swayed. Several times be
thought be would fall, but with strained
muscles and a stout heart Delong wtnt
over, and at last was safe. The others
followed, and when the last had crossed
tbey first wept like children and then
cheered loud and long. When they
were hoisted to tbe surface 2000 persons
cheered and danced with joy.
China's Announcement.
London, Sept. Following is a sum
mary of tbe official Pekin cablegram re
ceived Monday : Specific sums bave been
offered tbe treaty powers by China as
compensation for tbe loss of life and
property at various places where disor
ders occurred. Four leaders of riots bave
been executed and twenty-one banished.
Five mandarines bave been adjudged cul
pable in not adopting measures to "pre
vent order. Tbe imperial government
has ordered tbe viceroys of Chilli and
Manking to dispatch northern and south
ern squadrons to patrol tbe Yang tse
Ejang and aflord protection to the life
and property of Europeans whenever nec
essary. Though rumors of turtber trouble
still excite uneasiness in certain places,
tbe government has no doubt of its abil
ity to cope effectively with all attempts
at breaches of tbe peace. Nothing is
known respecting the reports cabled to
Europe of an attempt to seize Foo Chow
arsenal, but undoubted evidence of tbe
activity of the secret sacieties has been
obtained in other quarters. Thirty five
cases of foreign rifles consigned to a Brit
ish subject employed at tbe imperial cus
toms office at Chin Kiang baye been seized
at Shanghai by customs officers and tbe
consig tee irrested and turned over to tbe
British authorities. The same men bad
a quantity ot dynamite, which, with tbe
rifles, be confessed was intended for tbe
use of tbe secret society of Chin KiRDg.
The other British subjects nod six other
foreigners, nationality doubtful, all resi
dents ot Shanghai, were implicated in tbe
transaction, which tbe British officals are
investigating. Tbe cablegram concludes
with a repetition ot the statement that tbe
imperial government lias no doubt ot its
entire competency to preserve order.
Natives are Cxelted.
London, Sept. 25. Calcutta ad y ices
state tbat tbe viceroy is much alarmed
by the sullen tone ot tbe native populace
who bave been particularly aggressive of
late. Tbe age of consent law is said to
be tbe chief foundation for popular anger.
It it interlearing with the customs of tbe
Hindoos more than was at first expected,
and aeveial husbands bave already been
prosocuted for taking their child wives
bonie under the legal age. Tbe priests
are especially angry at tbe bill, wbicb
tends to deprive their order of certain
oidtasbioned privileges. Tbe lack of
cohesion among tbe natives is tbe strong
est factor in making rebellion almost
impossible. At the same time many
Europeans claim British' rule in India is
really in danger, owing to tbe rash course
of tbe viceroy both in domestic affairs
and in tbe severe punishment ot tbe
leaders in the Manipur insurrection. Tbo
leaders of tbe feudatory state of India
are said to feel uneasy in cousequence of
tbe way in which the royal family of
Manipur was treated, and thev are asking
each other what tbe fate would be of
sny other Indian prince who might be
oriven by intolerable tyranny into armed
resistance against British authority.
The bangiog of tbe Sennaputty was
especially offensive to tbe Hindoos, that
being considered a most disgraceful form
ot execution, and although England has
not formally annexed Manipnr, the state
is to remain virtually within complete
control by English officials All these
circumstances go to influence tbe Hindoo
mind and make it receptive of disloyal
sentiments against Great Britain.
Whole Cities Shaken.
St. Lotjis, Sept. 26. An earthquake
occurred at 10:50 to-night. The vibra
tions were distinctly felt passing south,
lasting about ten seconds.- At one news
paper office the compositors left their
cases and rushed to the streets. People
were awakened from tbeir sleep, partic
ularly in tbe west end, and rushed to
the streets in tbeir mgut clothing.
Among those who migrated from their
teds a Governor. Johnson, with bis
family. J. B Walters, of the salvage
corps, on tbe corn' r of Locust and
Seventh, was shaKen off bis stool while
sitting at a switch board. Considerable
crockery and glassware was demolished.
It is reported, but not authenticated,
thtt several wooden stables in tbe out
skirts of the town were tiped over. Tbe
buildings facing north and south were
visiblv affected. Tbe watchmen in
several buildings became alarmed and
hastened to the ground. JNo serious
damage has yet been reported.
IN KENTUCKY.
Louistille, Kv., Sept. 29. Slight
earthquake shocks were felt at 10:55
to-night. There were two vibrations, one
of wbicb caused tbe city hall clock to
strike. Signal Officer Burke says tbe
motion was vertical, not lateral, therein
differing from others be has bad experi
ence with. The shock was generally felt
here and at Madison, Ind.
IN ILLINOIS. '
Peoria, III., Sent. 26. Late to nigbt
a severe earthquake shock was felt all
alons tbe bluffs and back from tbe river.
Jacksonville, Bloomington aud other
places report the shock was felt there.
The train dispatcher at Logansport, Ind.,
says tbe shock was so violent there and
at Vincennes tbat articles of furniture
umbled down and people left tbeir
bouses in fright. Tbe temperature has
fallen 10 deg. since the disturbance.
Three Ways Lost.
Port Townsend, Sept. 24. A story of
suffering and peril tbat came near ending
fatally was i elated yesterday by Charles
Gonderson, of this city. Wednesday
morning abont 10 o'clock, while out
hunting eight miles from Port Townsend,
Mr. Gunderson was attracted to a certain
spot by tbe barking of bis dogs. Wben
be drew near be heard some one about in
agonizing tones : "Don't shoot; I'm lost."
A man appeared, about 65 years of age,
wild eyed and emaciated, bis hair dis
hevelled, his clothes torn and his face
scratched and smeared with blood. He
said that he bad been lost three days and
bad wandered through tbe woods with
out food or water and without seeing a
human being or finding a human babna
tion. Tbe old man was almost crazed
from suffering, fatigue and fear, and
could scarcely tell his pitifnl story. His
mind seemed to wander, and in bis ex
citement and confusit vhe said tbat be
had started from Ft t Townsend. to
Port Angeles; near which place be had a
homestead claim. He was on bis way
there, when he got lost in tbe woods.
The briars bad torn his face, bands and
t'lotbing, and be bad suffered intensely
from' cold and hunger, bnt most of all
from thirst. He begged piteously for
water. A fisherman's boat was seen from
tbe beach and bailed, and the sufferer
taken to Port Angeles. Mr. Gunderson
could not learn tbe man's name.
Another Costly fire.
Philadelphia, Sept. 28. Soon after
2 o'clock this afternoon fire broke ont in
tbe oil warehouse of Phillips & Cunning
bam, 136 North Delaware avenue. Tbe
Uames soon gained great headway and
several alarms were tnrned in. Tbe
fire swept through the inflamable stock
of tbe building, and the structure was
ablaze from cellar to roof twenty minutes
after the flames first broke out. Despite
the utmost efforts of tbe firemen, tbe
flames spread west to Water street and to
tbe rag warehouse of Tessnp & More
aqjoining, burning tbe oil store on the
north. In a short time warebonses at
127, 131 and 133 Water street, were
ablaze. Pbilip and Charles Porter, of
engine company 29, were injured by tbe
exploding oil while fighting fire in the
oil store, and Frank Lawry, of truck D,
was hurt by a fall from a ladder. Wbile
at its height, the walls of Jeesup &
Moore's warehouse fell in, burying seve
ral firemen. The buried men were got
ten out as quickly as posible, and so
far as known, none were killed. At 4
o'clock the firemen succeeded in getting
tbe fire practically under control. Tbe
loss is roughly estimated at $1,000,009.
Forced Them Back.
London, Sept. 25. Tbere bave been
advices received from Captain Tonnghus
band, dated Kasjarr, who states that,
learning tbaf the Russians bad crossed
the A ghan frontier in spite of tbe protests
of tbe Algban authorities, and being in
formed tbat tbe Russians were forcing
tbeir way toward Pamiers, be started out
to verify the reports. He found. Angust
10, the rear guards of the Russians, 100
strong, at Bozia Gumbaz, near Cbitral or
Little Kasgar. Captain Youngbusband
therefore placed himself in communica
tion with a British army post at Gilebit.
British officials "in, command tbere
promptly sent a force of 200 Gboorkas
to the scene of tbe Russian Derations.
Tbe Russians, on bearing of tbe approach
of tbe Gboorkas, retraced their steps aod,
joining tbe rear guards, the whole force
moved across the frontier.
Terrible Sufrerina; For Water.
Guthrie, O. Tn Sept. 25.' Every
courier from Chandler brings a thrilling
tale of the sufferings for water. Folly
100 people are more or less seirously ill.
Seventy horses have died for lack of wa
ter, and hundreds more are suffering ter
rilly. L. D. Woods, of this city, baa been
shot dead in the Sac and Fox conntry. A
nnrrber ot men from Stillwater, bave
founded a town in tbe Sac and Fox conn
try, calling it Saclaboma and are already
publishing a newspaper. Tbe law open
ing tbe reservation specifies that it shall
be a homestead entry, and the Saclaboma
men will bo compelled to leave as a town
cannot be legally laid ont.
The seal Fisheries.
San Francisco, Sept. 28. P. Grun
waldt, president or tbe Russian Sealskin
Company, which bas a concession from
tbe Russian government for taking all
sealskins in and contiguous to tbe Beb
ring sea in Russian territory, arrived
from St. Petersburg yesterday. Tbe
concession was given last year and con
tinuea for ten years. Last year over
60.000 skins were taken, and this year it
may be as beavy, though tbat is uncer
tain All be skins will arrive on one
vessel in a few days, and Gen.Grunwaldt
u here to receive tbem. Tbey will be
forwatded at once to London, where tbey
will be sold by C M. Lampson and will
doubtless then be speedily dyed. "Our
rookeries are in splendid condition," said
Mr Grnnwaldt. "and I bave no donbt
tbey will remain so. Tbe Russian gov
ernment bas a thorough expert, a practi
cal man, who remains on tbe ground,
and whenever in bis judgment enough
have been taken be simply orders tbat
we close down and this is done. Tbo
system is admirable, and our seals will
continue for years as plentiful as now;
in fact they will never be reduced."
Chili Wants to Fight.
Washington, Sept. 28. For two hours
this morning the president was in con
sulfation with representatives of the
state and navy departments. Wbile no
official information upon tbe snbjet can
be obtained, tbere is reason to believe
the administration is confronted with a
serious aspect of affairs in Chili. Since
last Friday, cablegrams in cipher bave
been passing between Washington and
Valparaiso, but the officials refuse to
make neir contents public. It is
gatherexrVbowever, tbey relate to affairs
in Chili, and tbat serious complications
have arrisen between tbe junta and
United Slates representatives in tbat
country. At tbe present tbe United
States naval force in Chili consists of one
vessel tbe Baltimore. Tbe San Francisco
touched at Callao. Peru, last week on
ber way northward. An effort was made
by tbe navy department to commuoicate
with ber, but she sailed for Acapulco,

He says the Indians are quite indifferent as

The most of tbem bave no higher ambition
than to have tbe government provide them

want to farm their own land. The work of
allotting tbe lands is not yet completed.
One of the attractions, if such degra
dation can be said to. possess any attract
ive feature, of a Salem saloon during tbe

dealt "stud" poker, says tbe Statesman.
Tbe novelty of the situation brought
coed play to tbe table, which was sur
rounded during tbe week by young men
and old men anxious to wsger their

This is perhaps the first time in Salem
that a woman ever performed such a

novel.

the cart cost the man $75. Undoubtedly
this was a dear girl to whom tbe unfortunate
inamorata paid bis respects.
Kelson Bennett, the Tacoma millionaire, is
in trouble, and the News says he has a

the city cemetery. The remains were (im
ply a skeleton, and there was no flesh re
maining on the bones. A dark suit of com
mon, working clothes covered the remains,
and these were covered with sand and the
pockets full of rocks. From all appearances
the opinion was tbat the man had been dead
about a year, aod had been drowned and
drifted ashore during high water. Nothing
was found by which he could be identified,
and the only thing found in his pockets was
a constitution and by-laws of the Granite
Cutters' Protective Association of Sao

the'man was 5 feet 10 inches in height, and

We believe The Dalles boasts as many
old residents as any city in the state. To
day we baa a conversation with Mr. VV..
Adams, who drives the stage from The
Dalles to Bakeoven, and who first came
here in 1862. His recollection of men who
are now in "the sere, the yellow leaf of

nominates "boys." Mr. Adams is still well
preserved, and, thanks to the healthfulnes
of our climate, is still good for many vears
of active life.

that several bad been killed. It is thought .
here that tbe party is the Ewing K laoliS

prominent journalist ot Missouri, Herbert
Kartells, a young Englishman, and fiye In

The Southern Pacific is about ready to
commence the work of making a fill across
Lake Laaisli, made memorable by the fatal
train wreck of last November. This peat
bog is spanned by a wooden trestle on an ...
average of about eighteen feet in height.
and 2550 feet long. It was 600 feet of this
trestle, being the north end, that fell with
the overland passenger train on that No
vember night, and this fill is now being
made to ayoid a repetition of the scenes of
horror and suffering. Owing to tbe peculiar
formation of the soil of the march, which is
of quicksand, the engineers thought a fill
as high as the trestle would sink, and on
this account decided upon making the fill
about six feet high. To overcome this and
still afford an easy gradient, deep outs will
have to be made at either end of the fill,
the one at Cbemawa being ten feet deep.
