Nauffer and Huntley then notified all the mine foremen and fire bosses to secure aid, blankets and- ambulances.

HEARD MEN'S VOICES. After having given orders for assistance the -two men then made their way Into the mine. When they had 'gone along the main road of tbe tunnel for about a mile they came upon the cave which was in the first lift Conditions of the place immediately Impressed the officials' that a serious cave had occurred, but realising that probably some of the. men were nearby they yelled: "la there anyone near by?" A voice behind the fall answered, "Yes, come and get us out." The officials retreated rapidly to secure Jnen to start Immediately and dig the men out- -i In a short time. assistant superintendent W.

N. Inglls, superintendent Henry McMillan, superintendent Reed, mine foremen Barge, Walker, assistant mine foreman Walker, four fire bosses with about seventy men were soon at the cave and had commenced work. Diligently they worked for hours in removing the great amount of coal which had fallen, and then a hole was bade through the' caveln large enough to allow three men to pass through, so that they might quickly reach the entombed men whom they could hear moaning and yelling for some one to come and get them out. EUSTICE RESCUED. As they-eontlnued to make an open Jng through the coal the place as they proceeded was strongly propped up to invent a further fall.

After working for six hours at 8 o'clock last night they managed to get to Bustlee whom they found alive partly covered with about three cars of rock and coal. "My God, boys, get me out," said ho. "We will. Just as soon as possible," was the reply from the men who were rescuing him. For one hour they worked In remolng the- coal and they great difficulty because, when one piece was removed, several mothers would slide down upon him.

were about- dissipating, but with the renewed strength they worked and finally succeeded in getting him released from his dangerous position. The three men who rescued him were: Patrick' Walsh and two men named Merrick and George. I Tbe three men, when they released Eustice from his position, lifted him up to to two other men. Walsh and George with the assistance of the other two started to carry him out over the great amount of rock and coal which had fallen. Merrick In the meantime hurried ahead to notify the men at ins neaa or me cave, to nave everything in readiness to convey the injured man to the outside, where an ambulance was In waiting.

TOLD RESCUERS TO GET OTHER .4 MEN, It "was only a few moments after Merrick had come out ahead that Walsh and the othee men appeared carrying Great trouble was experienced and extra care had to be observed because of the fact that the men weighed about 230 pounds. As they laid him on a stretcher, all seemed to ask In one voice: "How are you, John?" am all right; don't worry about me; "get the other men." "Got some brandy," spoke someone. "Not on your I never' drank a drop of brandy In my life and I won't drink any now," was the reply of Eus-tice.

He was taken to his home and attended by Dr. Mengel, who was at the face of the tunnel to meet him. RELATE3 HIS EXPERIENCE. -To a Record man Mr.

Eustice stated: 1 was working in the lift near Mart Tigue, and the other men. O'Boyle and Flynn, were directly across from me. It seemed only about a half minute from the time Martin left me. I was lining my ax to split a wedge which I was making for the men, when, without a moment's warning and before I had time to strike the blow with the ax I was thrown upon my back, helpless. I eld not know what to think or what to say.

Then came another fall and I was pinioned still tighter, and when another, the third fall, came. I was erased and seemed to think that all was over and that I was a gonr. My, tut it was an awful thing to be lying there and to hear the crackling of the pillars as they were falling. I did not yell at first because I tuought It was of no use. Then I heard the voices of the men beyond the cave, so I yelled back for them to come and get us.

They said they would at Bocn Ri jcsslble. "I don't believe that Koenlg and Groegler will ever come out alive, because they are further back and the chambers In that part are all down. The last words O'Boyle said to me was to have a priest at the head when he came out as he felt himself going to die. Flynn was lying beyond me, and also said he was not feeling very good. Then Merrick.

and George. rescued me and carried me out From that time I knew nothing. With quick work and luck they can get O'Boyle and Flynn out." i EXTENT OF FALL. A Record man made his way to the mouth of the cave and witnessed the rescuing of Eustice, 'and there came up superintendent Nauffer, whffm he questioned concerning the cave. When asked as to the extent of the cave 'Mr.

Nauffer replied: "We cannot tell just how far It has extended. It Is working Us way towards the surface and as far as we can make our vay everything Is down. The cause of the cave he said was lu. to tie settling of ihe roof In ths first lift. The roof was discovered three days ago as being in a dangerous condition, and work was ttarted to what Is known cs -ogging it up.

A cog Is a pillar which Is made of timbers, which are laid two upon one another In a- crosswise' position. The -place had been cogged up to about 200 feet when the fall occurred. Several men had Just left the scene whenthe crash came. TRACKLAYERS TELL OF CRASH. Martin Tigue, a tracklayer, one of the men who escaped, in a conversation with a Record man, said: was In the lift about 2 o'clock working with James O'Boyle, Peter Flynn, John Eustice and John Duddy.

As our timbers were about all used up I told Duddy to come with me and we would go on the outside to get some more. We had onlv sone "about 100 feet when we heard a crash and in an Instant we were thrown to the ground, losing our lamps. Quickly we were upon our feet and struggling in the darkness. In the darkness I became separaieo. rroro Duddy.

After a time I reached the outside, where I met the officials coming in. I told them of the crash and then went to my home; The only marks I have are a slight cut upon the head and a bad bruise upon my riirht hand. Before I started to run and when thrown to the grounl I heard Maughan cry out, "My God, help me." but as I was In darkness. I was also helpless." Great work was done on the part of Lewis Barge, mining boss. Sarge had Just left the place and when the crash nam was knocked down upon his face and then lifted by the strong wind and thrown against a pillar, hav-i'ng his back badly bruised.

But like a hero, wnen oiner mn reocneu mm, he refused to go out and with them he went back and worked like a Trojan in helping to rescue the entombed men. John Martin, fire boss of No. 14 shaft was one of the first men to speak to the entombed men. He told them, al to remain quiet and then went out and gave orders as to what should be done. When it "was seen that the cave was spreading, about 8 o'clock, and when the three men had found Eustioe, the work of propping the mine surrounding the cave was commenced, as no chances were being taken by the officials in having anoher fall with the result that they too might be entombed.

About 8 o'clock mine Inspector Mc Donald went into the mine and made an examination of the cave. He at once gave order as to the precautions which should be taken In rescuing the men. ENCOURAGEMENT FOR ANXIOUS CROWD. While the men had been diligently working to rescue the entombed men the hundreds of people on the outside were anxiously waiting to hear some report For hours they, were left 10 suspense, but about 8:40 superintendent Nauffer sent word to the men at the head of the slope to go outside and tell the people "The officials have reached the men and have talked with them. Tell them everybody we have seen are alive and well and with good work we will soon have them back In their homes." The news was re ceived with great Joy and a shout went up.

:3. The concussion of the fall opened most every door In the mine and smashed a number of them. In one instance a brattice man who was put ting up a new door when the shock came was knocked back against the wall and badly bruised. The conous slon also blew out the light of every man within the mines. Shortly after the officials had reached the scene they came upon Maughan.

who had released himself. With a badly injured leg and bruised back he walked to the outside and made his way home. O'BOYLE AND FLYNN ALIVE, At o'clock this morning there were thirty-eight men at work clearing away the immense mass or coal and there were fourteen officials directing the work. O'Boyle and Flynn were re ported -to be alive and It as given out that they would likely be recovered by o'clock. 1 The other two workmen are thought to be too far removed from the face of 'the fall to be reached In time to save their lives.

It is felt that they may already have met their fate under the mass of coei. Fourteen Girls Rescued. Pittsburg, Aug. 22. Fire in the Club Pressing and Cleaning Co.

Present Report onNth Street is that Saratoga 8 port Dabbled in Stock to Extent of Many Hundred Thou-' sand Dollars and After th Firm Protected Him He "Welched." New York, Aug. 82.

Mills Bros. Co, bankers and brokers of 71 Wall Street made a general assignment this morning for the benefit of credit.rs, with liabilities of between 8100,000 and 8200,000 and a seat on the yew York St.ck Exchange, worth about 873.000 as the principal as. The failure was considered ot no Importance In the street from a financial point of view, but it w.as the all-absorbing subject of conversation there because of a report that the reason for the trouble was that Richard Canfield of Saratoga and- other places had "welched." Canfield opened an account last year. At first he was on the bear side and made profits. He turned to the bull side early this year and hta profit began to slip away in the slump of the 4 i am losing more money down in Wall Street" he said to a close friend af that time, "than I can make-In legitimate business." As to what happened aftef-th tide turned with Canfield.

the stories presented by his side and by Mills side differ. The only point they agreed on was that the whole matter would brought to the law courts. On the hand Mills Bros, offered to pay Can-, field the amount they considered due him, which Is said to be 891.000, on condition that he would agree to give up his other claims. The offer was refused. Canfield is in Saratoga and refused to-day to discuss the matter.

H. Snowden Marshall, of Battle Marshall, his counsel, presented his side of the case. "Mr." Canfield," he said, It all Intact and has always responded to notices them for, an Increase of funds on deposit He charges that the brokers- have made transactions Involving the coss of several hundred thousand dollars without getting any authority from him. He has done no further business with them since early in the year. I don't know the date of his last authorised transaction, but it was some time prior to March 14.

VO SATISFACTION GIVEN. "Since that-time he has been threatening to bring suit for the amount which he claims la due, but has received no satisfaction." Frank A. Lord of Rand, Moffat Webb, for Mills Bros denied Canfield's charges' that the sales were unauthorized and his state' ment that his margin was always suf flcieht. "Mill Bros," he said, "notified canfield on several occasions that his margin was exhausted, and when he failed to respond they closed out his stock, as they had a right to do. The courts have upheld the brokers 1 nthts time and time again.

Any charges which Mt. Canfield chooses to bring he will undoubtedly bring a law suit and we shall be there to answer them. We offered yesterday to pay him what we considered was due him from the firm, and our offer was refused. Although his claim is the principal one against the firm, it Is not the only cause of the assignment. The inability to collect accounts payable and the depreciation of securities are two other factors." Mr.

Campbell, counsel for the receiver, said that the liabilities would be between 8100,000 and 8200,000. The assets In to the stock exchange seat are the equity of the firm bank loans and amounts due from customers, the value of which ha not been definitely learned.
