W ilkegbarre, P a., Deo. 23.— A ter-

Over
tw enty m iners w ere im prisoned, b u t at
a late hour to n ig h t fourteeu had teen
rescued alive, aud there w as hope of
releasing the others before the deadly
a fterd am p claim ed them as victim*.
Im m ediately a fte r the disaster be
came know n, rescue gangs descended
the shaft, b u t it was some tim e before
the ventilariou had beeu so managed
th a t they could w ork in safety. The
p arty w hich entered the m ine at 9:45
to n ig h t succeeded iu pushing their way
to the plane w nere the im prisoned men
had beeu w orking, and th ere they
stum bled over the bodies of a num ber
of unconscious men. As quick as the
w ork could be accom plished they were
b rought to the surface, w here a< o ip s
of doctors w ere in w aitiug. W rapped
in blankets, some of the v ictim s were
sent to th e ir hom es aud some to hospi
tals. T he physicians have hopes th a t
a ll m ay recover. H ad they been in the
dam p five m in u tes longer all would
probably have died of suffocation.
Jo h n H ealey, one of the rescuers,
w ho w as first to discover the bodies on
the plane, says the m en w ere huddled
closely together. They had apparently
abandoned a ll hope of rescue, aud were
resolved to die together. T he supposi
tion is th a t the m en, w hen they re al
ized th e ir danger, m ade th e ir way to
the h ig h est point on th e plane. The
sm oke found its way to them , how
ever, and they were a ll but suffocated

T he theory of the explosion is th a t

w here the d y n am ite w as stored; th a t
the d y n am ite exploded and the smoko
filled the plane
G rief w as turned to joy w hen the
rescued men w ere . b rought to the su r
face. W omen and c hildren w ept and
strong m en clasped each other in their
arm s. It is probable th a t those who
w ere in the im m ediate v icin ity of the
spot w nere the explosion occurred were
the only ones k illed , and they m ay not
be over four or five in num ber. The
m ine is in the n o rth east section of the
city, and em ploys, w hen in fu ll opera
tion, about 350 m en aud boys. A bout
o n e-third of th is force was a t work to
day, aud the num ber of w orkers was
fu rth e r reduced a fte r 3 o ’clock, when
the day sh ift cam e out.
W hen the explosion occurred, an hour
late r, th ere w ere probably sixty men
in the m ine. Of th is num ber, forty
or thereabouts succeeded in g e ttin g
safely to the surface. Those im prison
ed w ere a t w ork in a plane fully a
m ile from the shaft. They w ere d riv
in g a tu n n el, aud w ere in w h a t was
considered a safe place.
T he first know ledge of the c a ta s
trophe cam e to the surface by the noise
of the explosion. The m en iu the e n
gine-house, who had charge of the
ho istin g carriages, gave the first alarm .
A rescuing p arty was organized, but

A storia, O r., Deo. 22.— The fourth
deep-sea vessel to go ashore ou the
W asbiugtou beach this year was stra n d
ed a t 7:30 o’clock th is m orning a t P a
cific P ark, about six m iles north of
Ilwaoo, close to the spot w here the
b trath b lau e w ent ashore n 1891.
T his tim e the vessel is the G erm an
bark Potrim pos, C aptain H enry Halle*
wege, iu ballast from M azatlau, M exi
co, to tbe Colum bia river. The officers
and crew num bered eighteen, and all
were saved by the Ilw aco beach life
saving crew, who arrived on the scene
soon a fte r the disaster occurred. Ju s t
before th eir a rriv a 1, however, six sa il
ors from the vessel landed in one of the
sh ip ’s boats. It is very lucky th a t all
hands landed w ithout m ishap, as the
surf breaks heavily all around tbe ship
a t high w ater. Two of the crew of
the ill-fated G lenm orag were killed in
a tte m p tin g to do ju st w h a t p a rt of the
P otrim pos’ crew did, nam ely, lau n ch

T he ship is iu good condition, h a v
ing received no serious in ju ry w hile
crossing through the surf. She now
lies so high on the beach th a t a t half
tide a person can w alk to her dry-shod.
A ccording to th e c ap tain ’s story, at
daybreak th is moruiDg he sighted laud
and was on the lookout for a pilo t or
tug, but the vessel soon became p e r
fectly helpless and d rifted tow ards
shore.
The
captain ordered both
anchors out. T he order w as no sooner
given th an it w as carried out, but the
c u rren t, w hioh sets in very strongly
a ll along the beach a t certain stages
of th e tide, was too strong, aud tne
ship d irfted throogh the breakers and
on to the beach, both anchors still be
ing out.
T he Cape D isappointm ent lifesaving
crew left for the scene of the wreck ou
a special tra in , but arrived too late to
assist in landing the crew.
The ship lies broadside on the beach,
high and dry, but if work is com

a tug, she can be safely pulled off at
