The men who were at work about the car were in linminent danger for a moment, and were greatly frightened, fearing that they be hurled to the bottom of the shaft, .which is several hundred feet beluw the Pittston vein, but fortunately they escaped from the cage without being injured. The cage wffA hoisted up the shaft for about 20 feet, before being stopped. The car, not having been fastened, caught in the timbers, with the result that the guides were damaged for several lengths. It was necessary to suspend operations in No. & shaft for the remainder of the day, and men were placed at work immediately setting new guides in position. The hoisting rope was not broken, neither was the cage damaged. Against His Slayer. New York, July 20.—"When I state that Ilarry TUaw beat Evelyn Nesblt I am only stating what my eyes saw.

The only relatives who were communicated with by Mrs. Suge and asked to attend the burial services were Fremont Chapln, Miss Helen Chupln aud Mrs. Jennie Monroe, all of Oneida. They are the sons and daughters of Mr. Sage's only sister, Mrs. Fanule Chapin. The most urgent problem before the government In case an Immediate outbreak is postponed Is the relief of the distress In the interior.

As soon as he felt something unusual pulling at the rope he shut oft' steam and succeeded in stopping the cage before it had gone more than 20 feet. The footmen said that they had not given the signal to hoise. and there was considerable mystery about the affair until one of the men working at the spot where the car was being placed on the cage said that he noticed a footman throw his arm around an upright shaft timber, when he was pulling on the ear to get it back into position on the cage. The hoisting signal is an electric bell, operated by means of a button fastened to the timbers at the "foot," and it is supposed that the footman, in suddenly throwing his arm around the timber to secure a better hold, accidentally touched the electric button without being aware of it.
