RESCUED FROM THE MINE.
MOUNT CARMEL, Pa., March 16.—Peter Nearshaiski, after forty hours of imprisonment in the Black Diamond colliery was hoisted to the surface at 4 o'clock this afternoon. His appearance was the signal for cheers from thousands of throats, which were heard for miles. He had been half buried and had given up all hope when his rescuers reached the breast in which he was imprisoned. Strange to say, his injuries, aside from his nervous prostration, are not serious. After the five men were taken out alive last night it was supposed Nearshaiski was dead, but the search was continued, with the result stated above.
