There were forty-six men in the mine, to whom he telephoned an alarm. The man at the bottom of the shaft told the men to throw down their teols and get on the cage as quickly as possible. By this time the flames had surround- ed the engineer. At last he got the signal, and brought up the cage with lightning speed. Eighteen men were eboard. The carriage was then re- turned to the mine for the second load. On this trip ten men were brought up. The side of the building then collapsed and the burning timber fell all around the engineer, who still remained at his post. At last the remaining men got on the cage and in a few minutes all were brought to the surface safely. The engineer fainted from the excite- ment and exhaustion, but was quickly rescued by the members of the local fire department. He was badly burned ubout the face and hands, but will re- cover.

Lawyer Angel refused to state what course he intended to take in regard to Seely’s AND TTB Midway Plaisance. pleading. He said: “I cannot tell you whether Seely will plead guilty until he is brought up before Judge Bene- dict in the United States Court. I thir*: I could get Seely off under the present indictment, but if I did of course another would be framed which would leave no hope of escape.” This would seem to indicate that Secly will plead guilty when arraigned in court. Seely was brought into court at noon and pleaded guilty to the charge of making false entries in the bank-s books and abstracting its funds. He was remanded until Friday for sen- tence, UETIGIAL —TIGTORAL HISTORY 300 FREIGHT’S CRASH. 4 Big Wreek on the Reading—Another on the Pennsylvania.
