PIle IEOIlic Cases.

z Jack Kehoe, through his counsel, whose
death warrant has twice been signed, has
made an application for the re-opening of
the case by the Board of Pardons. The ap;
plication was filed Monday; and should it
be favornbly considered there is scarcely a
doubt that the murderer will escape execu
tion, as such action would lead 70 the with
drawul of the death warrant; designating
the 18th Of December for the hanging. As
the next regular meeting of the Board will
! not be held iihtil the first Tuesday in Janu-
AIRY, it is believed by Kehoe's friends that If
his case can be carried over Hartranft's ad-
mnistration he will not suffer capital pun
ishment, as the ie% Governor would not
take the responsibility of hanging him.

The Bellevue Colicry, Of the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western Company, in the
outskirts of Scranton, has convulsed the
neighborhood by an extensive caving in of
tho roof, which commenced several days ago
IN an old worked out portion of the mine.
and attained threatening proportions last
Saturday. The fall is due to the collapse of
the props by which the vast area of roof was
upheld, and its effect has extended to the
surface, producing commotion among the
settlers. Large cracks and unsightly gaps
appear ii the middle ofthe public road, and
a number of dwellings have been disturbed
from their foundations by the sinking. 1t
is feared the slope and shaft by which the
main portion of the mine is operated will
succumb in the general disturbance. The
occurrence throws upward of two hundred
men out of work and causes good deal of
damage to resi- estate in that vicinity.
