Nineteenth Annual Report of the Illinois Bureau of Labor Statistics, 1900
April 21, 1900, Andrew Adamisni, company man, aged 29 years, married, leaves a 
widow and two children in Austro-Hungary, was severely crushed through the body 
by being caught between the cage and side of the shaft, in the Empire Coal 
Company’s Shaft No. 3, Gilchrist, Mercer county. Deceased was working on the 
night shift, and had finished his work and was about to come up the shaft, it 
being about five o’clock in the morning. He gave the proper signal to come up 
and received the signal to get on the cage; he got on the cage and gave the 
signal to hoist. On leaving the bottom of the shaft he was conversing with a 
water bailer, and it is presumed that he leaned too far out of the cage and was 
caught by the side of the shaft and drawn between it and the cage; his head and 
shoulders were hanging down the shaft, and his legs and lower part of his body 
were on the cage. In this position he was drawn to the top of the shaft, and 
died about one hour after being released.
